Creately is a fabulous tool that will help businesses to create highly useful flowcharts, mind maps, charts, database structures, kanban plans and more. When starting a trial you may get a little lost in the examples as if you click on any of the help tools it will automatically create it as an untitled workspace, which you then need to either start again or edit the help template. The system gives you a legend, helpful tools and quick pointers to understand what to do with this type of template. As you get the hang of the system these won’t be an issue. This is like a testing space to get a feel for the template so when you are ready you would want to start a new untitled workspace, or remove all the template content. One of the best features of Creately is the ease of which you can work out which shape to use. Every step helps you to understand what different shapes are used for, and often this is not clear so this was wonderful to see in a product that often new users to project development will not be familiar with. This alone makes Creately a stand out system. It was clever additions such as stickers, you can add post-it notes for notes over your workspace, and even add your own images, embed videos and add different tools into your workspace. These are available on paid plans. There is some performance lag, noted mostly in reviews, so be patient with larger visual builds. There are sharing options and a link generated to a workspace, and the sharing option can be adjusted to give people the ability to view or edit without having to create a Creately account, which is fantastic for collaboration with a team or even clients where you just want to work on a specific workspace. Sharing isn’t very user-friendly on a phone to just to note you would be mostly working on a tablet or computer with Creately. There is a really helpful shortcut guide for quick use of the system, so it’s well worth getting to know how to use those if you are developing a lot of flow charts or databases. There are over 20 supported languages so it is designed for a global market.
