Creately Reviews

It’s easy to use for drawing diagrams and providing pre build templates also. Diagram editing features are amazing and easy to learn.

The canvas area is limited for the larger diagrams, sometimes it says you have to manually save your changes for some problems.

Creately has more than 1000 templates, libraries and over 100,000 different examples which can be easily adapted by the user for their requirement. These examples can help the user visualize easily. The software can be used for creating flowcharts, UML and User interface mock ups in different patterns. One of the main advantage of Creately is the provision for collaboration, which allows the user to...

Cons - payment required, not suitable for those who require it occasionally

No pros were added to this review

No cons were added to this review

1.) The user interface is stunning & straightforward. 2.) The chart's appearance and elements can be completely customized.  3.) Frequently notice on upgrades and new features. 4.) Flexible, simple to use, and easy to share with others without having to convert to PDF or print.

There are no such Cons to mention on the tool, but it needs more popularity than the other products existing on the market.

Creately is a Free and open license on-line licensed software that can be used very easily for all sorts of diagramming and work flow designing. I have been using creately for more that 4 years for my work and campus work. Highly recommend using creately for simple or advanced diagramming

Limited options available in the free version was the main blocker for me and the watermarks. But always it is best to proceed with the paid plan as it is totally worth purchasing that.

fast way to start using it immediately. Lots of patterns

Not easy to organise folders and move drawings among folders once you created them in one

I like how easy it is to create business-related tools here. Specifically, tools such as the Business Model Canvas or a Value Proposition Canvas. I used Creatley as a student and later on recommened this as a tool to my students when I became a tutor. Excellent!

I think the software should keep students in mind regarding its pricing. Many young students are not able to pay for the paid plans - at least initially. I think providing heavily subsidised student/tutor plans or free month long trials would be a nice. This is something I missed.

The plastic, colours and really easy to use.

Sometimes it hangs/stuck loading. Export sometimes seems slow for high definition

It has a lot of different tools to build a big range of diagrams and illustrations, but the most like me is the color combination and that you can organize the space around the diagram.

It is difficult and no friendly chance the letters... size, color, position.

What i love is the abundance of templates to represent anything I’m trying to do from website wire framing to SWOT analyses and even org charts. All the information is easy to input and represented beautifully and professionally. The different ways you can export your creation is super useful too.

I think getting used to tab to confirm an action took a bit of getting used to. Other than that, good to go!

The chance to use it from Google Drive was amazing to me, because I could group all my deliverables on just one place to be shared with my clients.

It has several usability issues related of how it connects with Google Drive. Creately it's not able to open a new document on the platform and saved it in Google Drive. That was very umcomfortable.

This software it's really easy to use and have differents technologies that you use in this software to understand in a easy way, this software it's amazing and useful.

I don't like the differents tools, I think it could be more and it can be really good for the differents users, because they want to have a great experience.

It is an online tool that works in your browser and they have a lot of good information on their website about how to build different kinds of diagrams.

The tool itself is difficult to use and doesn't allow you to do much in terms of working with others at the same time. I was also looking for something that would work well with the Google environment which this doesn't

Hello Rob, Thanks for using Creately and we're sorry that you found it difficult to use. To address some of your concerns we do provide some integration with Google environment. We're available in the Google App marketplace ( https://www.google.com/enterprise/marketplace/viewListing?productListingId=4370+2544572938568579613&pli=1 ) for your convenience. We introduced real-time collaboration last year so there could be room for improvement there. If you'll be kind enough to drop a mail to support@creately.com explaining the difficulties you encountered we'll be happy to have a look and rectify matters. Again sorry about the inconvenience and thanks for complimenting us on our content.

Options for web or desktop installation.

No shared files. Severe licensing issues that can't be resolved - without a license much functionality is inoperative. The poorest and slowest of customer service I've had in a decade.

Hi Chris, We're extremely sorry about your situation. You have been very patient with us and helped us with all the details which makes us feel even more sad. We deeply regret that we couldn't recreate your issue and able to solve it. Again, extremely sorry about the situation and we'll give you a full refund.

It does exactly what I need it to do - create org charts. It's easy to use with great functionality, and looks great.

The save/save as functionality is atrocious. I often lose past work because it'll save a current project over a previous one. When this happens I lose the opportunity to use a past chart as a template that would save me a ton of time. Then I'm forced to do it over again. If this was fixed it would be huge.

I paid for the software and then I tried multiple times to download the software. The link sent to me in my email with my license did not work. So then I tried to download from the software from the Creately website. Some links on the website didn't work. Finally, after on one of the pages I was able to download the software but is a much older version from 2017. It lack some of the features, and did not have the updates of the advertised newest version. I have sent several emails. I received two responses, the last response stating they were going to help get me the right version, then nothing. No customer service and the software is not what I thought I was receiving.

Lack of features advertised would be included. Lack of tutorials in the software. Lack of support with issues.

It is easily shared with multiple users to have a living document for collaboration.

The formatting and user interface is a little bit buggy and non responsive, especially on the desktop version.

Great cost effective flow chart tool with all of the main features and tools that you would expect- Web tool is easier to use and allows for the creation of professional looking flow diagrams

Some of the templates can be a bit limited compared to other services- could do with being expanded to include a greater range of templates

I love the finished look of the organizational charts

the type and lines can be a little glitchy and the lines move on their own and need to be realligned often

Creately is straight forward, simple to use, user friendly application. Application consists with good library of objects that can be use to create diagrams. It aslo support sharing what you create with others easily.

Real time collabration can be improved. Some look and feel can also be improved to be give a modern look.

neatness and coloring. time consuming, ease of use

too many error messages . sometimes slow to load

Hi Tyffany, we're glad you found it easy to use and sorry about the error messages you encountered. We're continually working to improve the experience and I'm sure you'll find a much smoother working experience going forward.

Convenient to collaborate and communicate with collogues when using Creately.

Sometimes there's a bit lag and delay when we drag and drop.

Great tool for basic process mapping. Has number of templates to work from.

Sometimes formatting can be difficult. .

It has a lot of great looking elements to make your diagrams and flow charts, org charts great looking. Lots of color and interesting elements.

It's not very easy to use. It really takes a while to get used to how to do use it. It sometimes gets frustrating to get things done.

Hey, thanks for leaving the review. We're glad you're thrilled with the features. We're a bit sad you've found it difficult to use. If you can say why you found it difficult I can get our team to work on improving things.

Big database of templates give us a head start for the diagram.Simple and intuitive for all users. Has 5 free driagram for start and test the software. It´s possible to import from identical tolls.

If you need more users the price it´s a little high. No Portuguese language for the app.
