Great start, but Pletica is better even if it’s more expensive.
Easy to use and smart saas tool. Replaced visio and other flowchart tools for me.
Every time I login it forces me to open a new doc before I can get to a doc I already created.

I am using Creately to create UML diagrams and network diagrams.
Creately is awesome! It allows you to create various UML graphs in a fraction of the time of Visio or other tools.
No complaints! Creately has filled all of the needs I have.

We found the perfect solution to our business because before Creately we used Microsoft Visio (which is so complicated to use). Also, the learning curve (how to use it) it's really good.
* It's very easy to develop a diagram chart from the scratch * Import SVG and Google images
* Sometimes it's really difficult to import a SVG file

Overall, my experience is very positive. It is very colorful and is very good for kids but also good for business applications
Creately is very intuitive. The important features are Drag and Drop, it is easy to represent the relationships between different concepts and create hierarchies. Also very good for flowcharts, diagrams and organizational structures. It is visually appealing and more colorful compared with say Visio. It integrates well with other applications
I did not experience any issues. It does not have a free version as far as I know

I use them to make as-is and to-be process flows, sipoc diagrams, architecture diagrams.
It is very easy to use and I like how intuitive it is. I like the feature set and the canned templates. I use it for professional diagrams and to make process flows and I find it way easier than visio and it also allows for collaboration which I love.
Could expand on the template set. As of now I have not not found what I need, but from my experience with other similar tools, I feel there could be more templates.

As a heavy Visio user I was bit reluctant to try this but was pleasantly surprised. The monthly fee is fair and the desktop price is extremely good when you consider that Visio costs around 300$. Love the usability of the interface. The diagramming area is large and far less cluttered. I like the concept of loading libraries as necessary because not only it saves space but help you find shapes faster. A...
Easy to use uncluttered interface Image search and icon finder object toolbar that makes diagramming faster automatic adjustments like aligning, text positioning real-time collaboration feature
Real-time collaboration features seems to slow down the application a bit
