## Overview

### Key benefits of SmartDraw

SmartDraw makes professional drawings and diagrams accessible to everyone. Non-technical users can quickly create floor plans, while professionals get the precision and scale they require. With industry-leading floor planning tools, strong data integrations, and an intuitive interface for traditional diagramming, SmartDraw delivers enterprise-ready power without unnecessary complexity.&#10;&#10;SmartDraw makes it easy to create accurate scaled diagrams without requiring specialized CAD training. Create floor plans for both residential and commercial spaces, make accident reconstructions and crime scenes, build fire pre-plans and design landscapes easily. Your team doesn't need to be experts to get expert results.&#10;&#10;While SmartDraw makes creating floor plans easy, you can skip that step and import an existing floor plan as a PDF or start with a Google Maps image to serve as the foundation for a new drawing.&#10;Get thousands of industry-standard symbols to build anything from commercial floor plans, warehouse layouts to accident reconstructions and fire pre-plans.&#10;&#10;You can truly customize any floor plan using your own product catalog. Import symbols, apply scale, and add shape data. Plus, SmartDraw can count items automatically and generate visual manifests to support estimates and proposals.&#10;&#10;With SmartDraw, you can turn ordinary diagrams into data-driven plans by attaching structured information to every symbol. Teams can generate manifests and summaries on demand for estimating, purchasing, or documentation.&#10;&#10;Support your entire organization with flowcharts, organizational charts, mind maps, project charts, technical engineering diagrams, IT diagrams, and more.&#10;&#10;SmartDraw works hand in glove with your existing IT infrastructure without disruption to maximize what you've already invested in. You can provision users with SSO, save files to your own preferred storage solution, and enjoy enterprise-level security.&#10;&#10;As an enterprise customer, you will have your own dedicated support rep for onboarding, training, and more.

## Reviews

### "Great for new users to computer aided designs." — 4.0/5

> **Oscar** | *28 June 2018* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I tried Smartdraw for the first time in  2016 and I was impressed by the ease of use ; I understood the major workings around this program in a matter of days.I have used Smart draw for Gantt style charting , simple drawings ,including floor drawings when I moved to my new home a while back.&#10;  Smartdraw provides users with a variety of modules ,making it a program which can be leveraged by different professionals in different career fields.
> 
> **Cons**: Smartdraw doesn't allow for remote collaboration like what I have come to expect from months of recently embracing Lucidchart. I have also found out that when creating Gantt charts with this program , I am limited in the number of coloumns I am allowed to use.

### "CorrTech Smartdraw" — 5.0/5

> **Jon** | *31 March 2026* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: - Ease of use and accessibility on any browser&#10;- Useful for variety of technical and organizational applications
> 
> **Cons**: Stringent functionality parameters outside of normal use-cases. More customizable features would be helpful.

### "Only provides yearly billing." — 3.0/5

> **Lizzy** | *20 January 2025* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Great shapes, very intuitive layout, easy to adjust the design.
> 
> **Cons**: Only have yearly pricing, yet they display the prices in cost per month.  This is misleading.
> 
> Unable to do anything with the stuff I made during the free trial. It does not actually feel like a free trial if you can't access the files you create.

-----

### "Decent, but could be better. Not a Visio killer, but close." — 4.0/5

> **Mark** | *5 February 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use, great graphical design. Drag-n-drop design. Easy to access templates.
> 
> **Cons**: Cannot manipulate the design as much as I would like. It's a graphic program, but not as easy as you might expect. Cost.
> 
> Overall, I like it. I've used for technical diagrams, process flows, step-by-step workflows, etc.

### "Give SmartDraw a try--you won't be disappointed" — 5.0/5

> **Danny** | *16 March 2026* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love the ability to transfer files from the old version and convert them to this cloudbased program. It's very simple and convenient. Also, I love having the ability to create new diagrams quickly and efficiently for the many events we host. If you've never used smartdraw then I believe the learning curve will be extremely easy, whether you're creating charts or diagrams; you will be able to easily see your creation and changes immediately. The new ability to store your items in the cloud makes retrieval from virtually anywhere possible while keeping everything safe and secure. SmartDraw's customer service has always been fast and professional.
> 
> **Cons**: I would have to say trying to scale back the amount of detail you want to include because SmartDraw gives you ability to add many many items\!
> 
> My experience from the beginning has always been great. I would be extremely positive in recommending this product to anyone.
