Have used it since the early 2000s and can't imagine working without it. The outputs are slick and exact.
Pros:
Omnigraffle has been around for decades and is the go to tool for user journey mapping and user flow capture.

Very easy to use. Drag and drop elements, very fast and integrates with other platforms well. Industry standard app.

"OmniGraffle is the obvious choice for diagraming on Apple's Mac hardware!"

4 April 2025
5.0 Show more details
OmniGraffle has been a great tool for the IT work toolbelt while using MacOS. Visio has and is the go-to diagramming tool for most of the IT field WHILE USING WINDOWS OS but, for those of us who prefer MacOS, OmniGraffle is the obvious choice!
Pros:
OmniGraffle allows me to use my native MacOS hardware to create diagrams.
Cons:
The cost of OmniGraffle is up there, at well over $100.

"A flawed masterpiece"

27 May 2023
5.0 Show more details
My overall experience with OmniGraffle has been excellent. It is incredibly easy to create beautiful diagrams with the app, and much easier than traditional vector drawing apps. It bridges the gap between vector drawing apps and desktop publishing software, making it a great choice for those who need to create diagrams for a variety of purposes. Diagramming is a primary use for me, so it's worth spending money on a tool that I can depend upon. I do not regret my decision to choose OmniGraffle, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful and easy to use diagramming tool.
Pros:
OmniGraffle is an amazing tool for creating great looking diagrams with ease. It has great control over typography, and object-oriented diagramming is incredibly powerful for creating different versions of the same diagram for different situations. It also has good import and export options, and is great for working across Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Plus, the support from OmniGroup is top notch.
Cons:
OmniGraffle is a powerful diagramming tool, but it has some notable shortcomings for advanced workflows. It does not support live data sources, and its charting capabilities are quite weak. Additionally, it lacks the ability to import and export hierarchical or relational data structures, which can be a major limitation for sophisticated information work.

"Easy To Use After Learning Curve"

2 April 2020
3.0 Show more details
Pros:
I use OmniGraffle Pro on my Mac desktop for engineering design documentation. The tool is generally easy to use after learning a few key combinations for editing. It is easy to center and line up objects using the very smart alignment tools. The default shapes are nice and clean and objects with curves render smoothly. There is a lot of functionality that might not be immediately obvious until you start using the tool.
Cons:
I have difficulty manipulating the connection lines. The key combinations to edit a line position are not immediately obvious and I had to use outside resources to figure it out.
