Hello everyone,

I am evaluating software to create flow charts. Can anyone give me pros and cons between Visio and Smartdraw.

Thanks,

Don

I've used both on a limited basis and prefer Visio.

We use visio and find it very user friendly. The flowcharts import into our word documents quite easily.

I'm a SmartDraw fan. Price and all the templates, and easy to use.
