Pros

  • 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.

Cons

  • They could develop a few webinars to teach some techniques and special commands.

Return on Investment

  • It's had a great impact on the quality of my projects, since they have a really great library for all kinds of chemical engineering equipments and process flow variables.
  • Also, they have physics and chemistry libraries, which help me through class preparations and slide presentations.

ConceptDraw "Pro" Visio in disguise? Close, but not quite.

Junior Systems Administrator | POS Programming Specialist in Information Technology at AIKG LLC (501-1000 employees employees)

Pros

  • The collections of images and shapes are very nice.
  • Creating an easy "quick and dirty" layout can be done in seconds.

Cons

  • They kind of nickel and dime you for shapes and images which is kind of a bummer.
  • The overall functionality is very quirky. Trying to move items is difficult and not very precise.
  • Layers are done very strangely. You can easily add shapes to the wrong layer and trying to get them on the correct layer is a hassle.
  • Something about the software puts a lot of strain on even my most powerful PC.

Return on Investment

  • Positive. Our table selection screens look amazing and are VERY clear and easy for our employees to understand.
  • Negative. The software is just hard to use and is very time consuming if you need to create something detailed.
  • Positive. The price isn't too bad.
  • Negative. They nickel and dime you for shapes and images.
