Summary: Great Visio substitute
Comment: I am a patent agent and prepare my own figures for patent applications. I draw network diagrams, flow charts, GUIs, circuitry, and random computer parts. I recently made the switch to Mac. I tried running Visio through Parallels, but got tired of waiting for Parallels to boot up before I could edit or view a drawing. I decided I'd try to find a Mac-native application for drawings. When I did a search for Visio for Mac, I found out that it's not available, but that there's a product called ConceptDraw that sells a replacement package for $200. I found them when I Googled "Visio Mac" and was directed to visioformac.com. I guess I was somewhat displeased with a company trying to give me the impression that they are the official replacement for Visio in the Mac environment. With all fairness to ConceptDraw, I did not try their product out as a result, so I cannot provide any commentary on the quality of that product. I went to see what else was around. After hunting around, I found NeoOffice. While it's somewhat feature-rich, it had a lag issue, I assume because it's Java-based. My attention then was directed to OmniGraffle, which appeared to be ConceptDraw's only other strong commercial competitor. Omnigraffle was appealing because they had a regular version that cost $100. Then, I watched Omnigraffle's intro videos. They showed off Omnigraffle's great, clean UI and how easy it would be for me to do what I had been doing in Visio. Those videos pretty much sold me. When I looked at the webpage that provided a feature comparison between the regular and pro version of Omnigraffle, I discovered that I could import all my previous work from Visio. That alone saved me a ton of time. I purchased the Omnigraffle Professional 5 and have not regretted it for a second. The selection of stencils on graffletopia.com made getting started a breeze. I quickly imported my Visio stencils without issue and imported various drawings I had prepared in Visio with no hiccups. My only gripe is that I wish that Omnigraffle had a PC version that I could tell Windows users to use because, in my opinion, this software is better than Visio for my purpose.

Summary: Excellent Solution for Site-maps and more...
Comment: I have used their products in the past and have always been pleased with the functionality and ability to quickly get site-maps in motion. As a web / multimedia developer I highly recommend this app! Using Adobe Illustrator just isn't as practical and efficient. The number of free Stencils you can download makes this a very handy tool in your library. If you aren't sure about it, go to the site and try the demo, you will be pleasantly surprised!
