"Switching from Visio to SmartDraw was a no-brainer. We saved thousands and SmartDraw can do everything we used to do in Visio."

**Ken Tripp**
North American IT Operations Manager, Radisys

"We replaced both Visio and Lucidchart and never looked back. Not only did we save money, but SmartDraw's excellent customer service and free training sessions made the transition painless. We now use SmartDraw for network diagrams, flowcharts, org charts, and more."

**Chris Tusa**
Vice President Solutions Engineering, Dizzion

"We could only afford to give Lucidchart to a fraction of our users. SmartDraw allowed us to expand diagramming to everyone in our organization. Every department finally has access to make flowcharts, decision trees, UML diagrams, and more. We especially liked that generating an AWS diagram didn't cost us extra."

**Juan Pablo Cordero**
Director of IT, Snap Finance

"We were frustrated with our previous vendor's price hikes and limiting how many users could get access, so switching to SmartDraw was a relief. It let us create all the diagrams we needed, integrated with Google Workspace, and eliminated our worries about monitoring usage."

**Brad Schaider**
Senior Manager IT, StrongDM

"SmartDraw has been the perfect Visio replacement for our organization. It has everything we need at a fraction of the cost. It's the ideal license model for our teams with mixed usage patterns. With built-in collaboration, flexible licensing, and cross-platform access, we reduced IT overhead and found a simpler, smarter way to work."

**Rachel E Anderson**
Service Desk Supervisor, REC Silicon Inc

"In SmartDraw, we finally found a product that could parallel what we got from Visio at a lower price."

**Wes Meyer**
Global Manager, IT, Amphenol Advanced Sensors

"Over time SmartDraw has become the process mapping tool of choice for every department. It's our go to tool and makes everything easy and clear. It's user-friendly and acts like a roadmap as you work on going from your current state to your future state."

**Melinda Carter**
Assistant Director, Texas Children's Hospital

"We replaced Lucidchart with SmartDraw to document our processes. It's intuitive, powerful, and backed by excellent support. SmartDraw is easy to use and their support team is always responsive and helpful."

**Vince Rinner**
IT Director, Diamond Mattress

"Compared to Visio, SmartDraw is more affordable and easier to use for everyone in our organization. The SmartDraw team and support are very responsive and helpful!"

**Heather Malecha**
Application Services Analyst, City of Burnsville
