What is Creately?

Creately is a work management platform that runs on a smart visual canvas. Teams use it to brainstorm, plan, manage projects, and capture knowledge in a single space. It connects and centralizes work items from multiple apps, docs, and people in a central location. This makes it easier for teams to ideate, map out processes, add in-depth details, and build the systems to execute the processes right inside Creately.

Creately combines visual collaboration and diagramming, workflow & project management, wiki and note taking together to provide a no-code environment where users can build and model their own operating system for work.

Creately is trusted by over 8 million users and is used by leading organizations including Netflix, Amazon, NASA, Disney, and PayPal.

Pros
I loved the finish of the design, and the fact that they had the gridlines to guide placement. Alignment of the shapes were so easy, and loved how customizable it was.
Very easy to use with excellent collaborative features. Nice bright and modern UI.
Auto Save option which makes you focus only on the business diagram. Amazing customer support.
Cons
Lack of features advertised would be included. Lack of tutorials in the software.
Sometimes the lines between connections didn’t land where I wanted them or changed shape and that was frustrating.
Occasionally, when I'd try to "tweak" a little place on my project it would mess up the whole thing.
