Draw.io

What do you like best?

I really like that I can use Draw.IO in the same ways that Visio can be used and the files can be shared and used across teams. In addition to being used on the web or as a desktop application, it integrates very well with visual studio code. That is, in my opinion, the best way to use it on development teams. There is also the feature to use it to prototype an application and have it automatically jump to other sections when clicked. It is a very versatile application. I also like how easy it is to use all of the different objects and icons without having to download them.

What do you dislike?

There aren't many issues with the software. One of the problems that I have experienced would be that since it is built off of a progressive web application loading files from the browser has occasionally failed to load. This has been a very small and infrequent occurrence.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

I think that other using Draw.IO should be in for a treat. It allows for Visio like things but in a free open-source feeling way.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Draw.IO allows for many types of technical documentation and prototyping to be completed. Creating UML Diagrams, Flow charts, or a web application prototype are all things that can be accomplished with this tool.
