## Reviews

### "Gliffy is a good choice to sketch simple diagrams" — 4.0/5

> **abigail** | *19 May 2018* | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's easier set simple diagrams like flowchart, network, entity-relation or uml. It's easier to set the diagrams and you can save with your account, if you pay the monthly suscription you can link to your google account and share your diagramas with your team
> 
> **Cons**: I think that the diagrams for user interface are a bit limited I think need more personalization and more componentes like a table, it could great that include and html diagrams
> 
> I can do the entity diagrams of a database that doesn't generate the diagram, I can set a simple network diagrams

-----

### "Easy to use tool for business diagramming and software development" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *13 July 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I am very pleased with how easy gliffy templates are easy to use and edit to fit all illustrative diagrams. The diagram board is also very easy to use and intuitive with drag and drop features.
> 
> **Cons**: Not applicable, nice experience so far.

-----

### "Simple and quick, Confluence integration, lots of other integrations, but limited" — 3.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *17 April 2014* | Retail
> 
> **Pros**: Quick&#10;Free versions available&#10;Lots of integrations: Chrome, Google Drive, Google Docs Addin, MS word Addin, Confluence.&#10;Allows sharing of diagrams to multiple collaborators.&#10;Not very expensive
> 
> **Cons**: Free version will make your diagrams public after 15 days.&#13;&#10;You have to pay desperately for each integration: e.g. a paid for confluence license won't equate &#13;&#10;Visio import has to be paid for.&#13;&#10;non-standard file format (JSON instead of GraphML)
> 
> Gliffy is easier to learn than Visio, fairly intuitive and the common functions you need are close to hand (on right click or contextual menu button close to selected item).&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Was quicker to draw a medium complexity diagram with boxes and connectors than Visio (or Powerpoint), and the resulting diagram looked good.  Good range of available symbols and easy to add your own stencils from a SVG-based artwork (and JPG importing was easy too).&#13;&#10;Small native file format, and it is text based (JSON) so it is searchable (and hackable if needed).&#13;&#10;But there are limitations, which means it for the most complex or structured diagrams it can't replace Visio, OmniGraffle, or a Architecture tool (and would not replace Autocad or similar either)&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;I can see this may work better on tablets/touch screens than Visio&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;No bulleted text/numbered lists&#13;&#10;Connectors won't "hoop" over lines, and you can't add additional bends in connectors (there are workarounds--import  "hoop" shape or use a UML shape to fake a hoop with multiple lines)&#13;&#10;Can't have text less than 9px in size.&#13;&#10;Limited import and export options.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;But the product is continuously developing.

### "My go-to for all flow diagrams" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *27 August 2018* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Favourite Confluence plugin.&#10;I use this extensively at work. It has just about everything for creating diagrams - flowcharts, floorplans, electrical diagrams, rack diagrams e.t.c. I think it rivals (maybe even supersede) Visio.
> 
> **Cons**: Bug\!\!\! Something does not like Google Chrome. Usually this is fixed on the next release of either Chrome, Gliffy plugin or Confluence. Does not cause problems, just an annoying pop up to report the issue.

-----

### "Great online diagram creation tool" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *24 September 2020* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Gliffy's strongest feature is its drag and drop functionality. Coupled with an easy to use interface, the average user can master process mapping in no time. &#10;&#10;A key feature for our organization has been Gliffy's integration into Confluence which allows us to easily build and link pages and spaces with visualization. Further, Gliffy
> 
> **Cons**: Gliffy meets all of our business needs, however, it isn't robust as some other alternatives (i.e. Visio, Lucidchart), however for cost, ease of use, and integration into our other tools it more then makes up for some losses in more specified requirements.
> 
> Gliffy has been a great addition to our organization as it is being used by several department and practice groups to  diagram processes, as well as organization charts, and technical documentation.  It is easy to administer, and simple to learn with
