SmartDraw helps you draw a diagram to illustrate your work in a Microsoft Office document, with a plethora of templates and art elements that eliminate the need to start from scratch.

A huge variety of possible uses has been included, from software engineering or business modeling to anatomical illustration. Generic templates include flowcharts, organizational charts, mind maps, family trees, ER diagrams, and far more. A clip-art collection helps fill out the basic templates, and a drag-and-drop tool lets users easily add frequently used symbol combinations. The program also functions as a standalone drawing tool, supporting free-hand drawing, image layers, text, and tables. Work can be saved in a number of formats including JPEG, PDF, HTML and AutoCAD Interchange.

As a fast illustration or business tool for someone who's not doing full-blown design work, we think this program functions extraordinarily well.

garbage program
September 23, 2015
Pros
nothing that you can find
Cons
most important: it doest let you uninstall it.
Summary
garbage program (plus it says that's its a 5 star rated program..NOT)
Buggy and limited functionality
garne2tMarch 16, 2015
Pros
Very basic drawings
Cons
Dimension capability is buggy and limited. Can't add text anywhere
Summary
I ran into all sorts of problems with adding dimensions to a drawing of my kitchen countertops. I couldn't get the object to size to the right dimension as it would skip from 13/16" to 15/16" and would not allow me to select 7/8". I tried zooming in very close and it still didn't work. Dimensions are poorly placed and can't be moved. They are also not drawn with architectural standards in mind. I was unable to add text in a specific location in my drawing. Overall very frustrating experience for my application.
adware. do NOT download.

Pros
basic software for drawing flowcharts, etc.
Cons
Adware. I downloaded, played with it for a bit, and then removed it or so I thought. On startup a smartdraw window continues to pop up, even though no program called smartdraw or sd... is listed in my programs. I finally figured out how to remove using "Scheduled tasks" where two tasks beginning with SD are listed.
Summary
Evil.
Sounds so clever and so good? Is it really?
Kushi StanleyFebruary 1, 2014
Pros
Looks handy. Very impressed. Downloaded and installed. :)
Cons
Oh, my god, they have gone too far and forgot the very very basic. There is no option for you to open a blank document - sometime we need to build our own from sketch. :(
Summary
Got nothing more to say.
Couldn't open a simple visio file correctly
MaxPower80October 20, 2013
Pros
None - didn't get to try it fully
Cons
Couldn't open an existing vsd file. If I can't easily convert Visio files, this product is useless. Will have to go with Visio instead.
Summary
no good lost my time
hsamoilaOctober 6, 2013
Pros
nothing positive, lost my time
Cons
you can't do anything easy as they say; you try to move a wall everything is moving, you try to print the trial has 4 printing options so you're done(with watermarks) you can't put the proper dimensions easily, you have to restart over and over for each modification; why should we buy a program like this; I would like to know where they work all the users that left the positive feedback
Summary
Adware, pure and simple
luckcactusSeptember 30, 2013
Pros
You can do basic flow diagrams similar to Powerpoint.
Cons
Adware. This program installs MySearchDial and My PC Backup. The first hijacks your browsers search and homepage capabilities. The second produces a pop up ad ever ten minutes or so. SmartDraw really doesn't do anything for you that Powerpoint or Word can't.
Summary
The program itself is fairly basic, you may as well stick with one of the MS Office programs. This is essentially adware and the publishers clearly make their money from ads rather than (unrealistically overpriced)subscriptions.
do NOT use this!
Dash_Owner_PhxMay 20, 2013
Pros
NONE. Not only didn't it work, but even after I installed it I am STILL getting their popups and ads NON-STOP
Cons
YOU WILL GET NON STOP ADWARE!!! DO NOT INSTALL!!!!!!!
Summary
I have NEVER downloaded anything that I could not install. However, this program, after installation, still notifies me of their updates. The WORST thing is that both my browsers are now giving me NON STOP ads and unsolicited information. It's making me VERY FRUSTRATED. D O N O T I N S T A L L ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Waste of time and traffic
dimaxerMay 3, 2013
Pros
Nice reviews on official website.
Cons
I just have no words to express. It looked like this program is Visio-killer, but I would rather work in Paint rather in SmartDraw.
Summary
I was looking for a simple and easy to use AutoCad-like program and read good reviews of SmartDraw on their site. Installed it and was impressed. 99% of software I first run do not make me look into manual and read how to do things. But Smartdraw made me do it. Fantastically, but I almost never look into manual for AutoCad and ArchiCad but had to spend time trying to do basic things in SmartDraw. I would give 0.5 star if that was possible.
Welcome to bloatware and a surprise seven day trial.
PsyoonJanuary 29, 2013
Pros
I was unable to install it before it zombified my system and used it to send Nigerian prince emails.
Cons
Malware and spyware
Summary
Optional Bloatware package! Yay! Nope. Uncheck. Restarts Chrome... what? Ooh look! It installed an ad suite. Uninstall. Uh... yeah. Okay, well maybe the program's worthwhile? Surprise- 7 day trial. Screw it. Uninstall time. Before I could even get to the control panel it popped up it's other surprise- a software suite to backup your entire system online. Yeah. Sounds legitimate. Luckily it manifests as a program so it was easy to remove, but I'm waiting for the next thing to pop up too. What the hell CNET? You used to not suck, and used to fight against this kind of thing. What the hell happened?
