I’ve been looking for a simple to use (and inexpensive) application for some time to handle my flow charts, use cases, and UML and I happened across Gliffy. Better yet, it’s a Flex application.
Gliffy handles everything I need to do and more. I have been pleased with the simplicity and functionality of the program. You can tell that the program has been well thought through. I especially like the feature which allows collaboration of your diagrams with others. In addition you can create a URL that will display your creation.
I was hard pressed to find a negative with the program. There are a few minor glitches here and there, but nothing that couldn’t be overlooked or worked around.
Getting started with Gliffy is also nice. With a free account you can get going with practically full usability and store up to 5 diagrams at a time. This was of course ample to explore the features and really see if it was up to snuff. Needless to say I’ve signed up and have multiple diagrams and charts that we use for various projects and reasons.
Gliffy is up there on my recommendation list. Check it out.http://gliffy.com
