Version: SmartDraw 2009 2009.7
"Worst piece of crap i've ever purchased"
Pros: Can't think of any
Cons: Well everything seems to be in order and it's a great program. Just one minor detail: it doesn't work. It doesnt't copy stuff from excell but gives an error, and it crashes every other second. I'll demand my money back.
Summary: Avoid it. read more

Version: SmartDraw 2009 2009.7
"Still the best software for fast results o high quality"
Pros: The new power point export feature is really great! And a lot of new templates and symbols are added.
Cons: There is still a minor problem (for me) with the org chart template: once you have disconnected a box from the rest of the org chart there is no way to reconnect it to the org structure.
Summary: My company is entering the US market this year ( I hope, we do) therefore we had to do a lot of organizational work and we have to prepare a lot of presentations for the prospected customers. So the 2009 version of Smartdraw is the perfect support f... read more

"Must have software for your toolkit ..."
Pros: Easy Installation
Intuitive Commands

Version: SmartDraw 2009 2009.7
Pros: Using the Medical Version for post-secondary students and professors, the quality of in-class work and content of Power Point presentations sky-rocketed. Also, GREAT after sales service from the company's regular newsletter.
Cons: We all love the product. Period!
Summary: It would be nice to edit the drawings while in the target application, instead of reverting to the original SmartDraw drawing and the re-exporting the image.
Otherwise, functionality is very good. read more -

Version: SmartDraw 2009 2009.7
"SmartDraw is hands down the best diagramming tool"
Pros: It's easy, fast, hardly a learning curve. In minutes you're up and running and creating professional looking charts and graphs. No hunting around or freestyle drawing. It helps us stay on task and makes us look more professional externally.
Cons: Nothing. It does everything my company needs for it to do and a lot more.
Summary: For everything you get in it -- so so many templates, graphs, examples, it's silly not to buy it. Once you work with it you'll wonder how you got along without it. read more
