Why Creately Is a Better Alternative to Visio?

Get Started with No Learning Curve

Visio’s strengths lie in its diagramming capabilities but is also limited to that. You need to obtain a deeper understanding of Visio’s components to get the maximum benefit out of it.

Creately, however, needs no learning curve. You can simply sign in and get started as everything about Creately’s free form workspaces are easy to understand. What’s more, you can directly import all your data from Visio so that work can be resumed from where you left off.

Do Your Work. Your Way

Creately’s free form canvas enables you to work without bounds, meaning you can simply drag and drop anything into the canvas, import excel sheets and doc (with in-app previews) and visualize plans easily with Plus Create. This means you can visualize and execute workflows and actions plans - all on the same canvas.

Collaborate Seamlessly

While Visio’s collaboration capabilities end at common comment threads, Creately goes a step further, featuring real-time mouse tracking and video conferencing - in the same workspace itself.

Mouse tracking allows you to identify which team member is working on what part of the workspace and identify each other’s contributions. Connect remote teams easily with video conferencing and obtain instant feedback from team members.

Connect a Disjointed Set of Apps

Creately integrates all your favorite apps such as Google Drive, Slack and Confluence which makes it effortless to share diagrams, docs and workspaces across different platforms.

Gone are the days when you needed to manually update all apps related to your work. Creately’s two way syncing and integrations will make sure that changes you made to the central database are reflected across all connected documents.

So Much More Than a Diagramming Tool.
