Chose Creately
In terms of pricing and functionality, Creately was the clear winner at the time, although the jury is still out on Creately's new version in terms of how simple it may be to use.

Chose DEON
Personally think DEON is easier to use and is a good value for the price. A lot of functionality overlaps between programs, but overall think some of the elements of DEON are superior.

Creately is a commonly used tool to create infographic elements for your workflows. It is effortless to use and has excellent and underrated features such as rules & database creation. While using Creately, one can not create hierarchical structures such as folders inside folders and so on for organizing diagrams.

Best Suited Scenario: When you play multiple roles and a certain set of information/ files in one place in an organized fashion. Example 1: You are into sales and need specific documents at during a presentation to your client, this is when DEON comes in handy. You can have all your files arranged in one place. Example 2: You are doing a review where lots of presentations and files are needed to be shown this is where you can use DEON. I don't see any scenario where DEON would not be suitable.

  • O Usage of a different logic of navigating compared to MS Office products. For me it's possible to switch, but for customers, who are not using DEON so often, it's difficult.
  • Deon don´t support file with Macros
