"Nothing you can't do with MS Office"
Version: Edraw Flowchart 5.7
Pros
Well, it does allow you to make flowcharts... but I see no difference from doing flowcharts on PowerPoint...
Cons
For the price, it does not offer anything new and it does not improve on the flowchart capabilities of software you most likely already have: MS Office. Also: TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. The suppossed 30-day-money-back-guarantee is a SHAM. Stay away!
Summary
Bottom line: if you really need to do flowcharts, do them with PowerPoint. Paying 50 dollars for this software is a waste of money. I expected, for that price, to see some cool and useful features, especially considering this is a software specifically dedicated to creating flowcharts... No such luck. Also, don't expect much from customer service.

"TRIAL IS CRIPPLED! IT PUTS WATERMARKS ALL OVER CHARTS !"
Version: Edraw Flowchart 4.7
Pros
Easy to use. Stable and versatile. Purchased version is probably very nice.
Cons
TRIAL IS CRIPPLED AND CANNOT BE USED TO CREATE A USABLE CHART because your files cannot be printed or saved or without "trial version" watermarks all over it. They do not tell you that this is a CRIPPLED TRIAL VERSION.
Summary
Don't bother downloading the trial version unless you plan to purchase the software.

"Nice software & easy to use"
Version: Edraw Flowchart 4.0
Pros
I think this one is cool. It looks more like Microsoft Office 2007 than Visio 2007 is! You can change the interface theme to custom color - better than Office 2007.
Cons
The templates and objects are many and sufficient for most needs. I like this better then Visio. The drawings (files) are in tabs (on top) while the pages are in tabs below. It does add more to the productivity.
Summary
The Library task pane behavior is well thought out. When you create new drawing from template, it opens the related libraries but doesn?t close the opened libraries. You won?t be lost (a minute or two) trying to guess where was that shape you just used. You can still ?Close all? libraries to start clean. Of course, I think this is actually meant to handle the tabbed interface so you?d have the same libraries opened in any tabs. The downside is that you?d probably get confused after there are so many libraries opened.
Generally, I like the shapes in the templates, even the borders. The cross-functional flowchart borders is easier to work with than in Visio - makes more sense having them as separate objects. -

"AND THIS THING IS FREE!!!!!!!"
Version: Edraw Flowchart 3.3
Pros
WOW! This is probably one of the most powerfull free programs I have ever come across. Everything you could possibly want in a mind mapping program is here. Not to mention that it has one thing a lot of free programs don't: a really nice interface.
