AltonaLab vs. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM

Likelihood to recommend? Overall, absolutely. I'm very satisfied with ConceptDraw and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. I found it very easy to get up and running producing flow chart diagrams. I find it intuitive, flexible and it does what it says. Moreover it's very much an "alive" product with regular updates

• They're the only company that could offer a decent product with a fair price for Apple devices, like my Mac.
• It provides easy development of process flow diagrams and P&ID diagrams.
• The software has an intuitive arrangement of commands, which reduces the learning curve suffering.

• Keyboard shortcuts are non-intuitive
• Re-scaling can be tricky if you don't set the page up correctly at the beginning of your project

It needs a bunch of work. For the price it could be better. And even though I am using it still I find it very difficult to use but I make it work

The sales team is great and quickly responds to any concerns regarding the software and licensing. However, the user base for ConceptDraw products is still relatively small making it difficult to find more than basic assistance for technical questions online

Cheaper, lower learning curve. Looked for something that would meet our needs and allow us to quickly diagram a database and process maps. I have been using this in place of Visio and the one-time purchase is much better than a Microsoft sub. Looking forward to using this software in the future and hoping to get a copy for college classes as well in Database Design.
