Product Description:

When you need a clear understanding of how tasks, activities, and processes are carried out, OmniGraffle can help you produce amazing-looking diagrams that communicate information far better than words - and if you're just looking to make a poster for your Sunday garage sale, it's perfect for that too. Diagrams are basic to the way people think, and we create them all the time without even realizing it. Whatever your profession or interests, chances are you've occasionally sketched out some ideas on a piece of graph paper or the back of a napkin. OmniGraffle is the tool to help you organize your thoughts visually, document them beautifully, and communicate them to the world. More than just a silly name, OmniGraffle is a powerful, yet easy to use diagramming and drawing tool. OmniGraffle can help you make amazing graphic documents quickly by keeping lines connected to shapes even when they're moved, providing stencils full of common symbols for you to drag and drop, and magically organizing diagrams with just one click. Create flow charts, org charts, network diagrams, family trees, project processes, office layouts - or anything else that can be represented by symbols and lines.

OmniGraffle Pro ReviewOmniGraffle is worth the price - Version: 5.0.1 beta 3, 6/6/2008 09:56AM PST

Let's face it, quality software is not easy to find (or to build), and you get what you pay for. All things considered, OmniGraffle's price (as well as OmniFocus' price, for that matter) may not be a bargain, but it's certainly fair and reasonable. I upgraded immediately and haven't regretted it!

Besides, as others have mentioned, OmniGraffle is simply an awesome app and very well designed. It's easily worth the price. Quality is more important than price, in my mind.

OmniGraffle Pro ReviewStill good value IMHO - Version: 5.0, 5/10/2008 01:07AM PST

It's sad that so many people consider Omnigraffle Pro expensive - personally I still consider it excellent value (take a look at Visio's pricing for comparison) - and there's always the standard version of the product, which is significantly cheaper. Certainly when I originally upgraded to the 'Pro' version when it first appeared, my immediate feeling was that it was ridiculously cheap by comparison with Visio, SmartDraw and similar applications.

Personally, upgrading to v5 was a no-brainer, as Omnigraffle Pro is one of my most used apps, and has been for years (I've been using it pretty much since the beginning).

I use it almost daily for a massive range of work projects: network diagrams, flow charts, organisational charts, planning of web sites, signs for our noticeboard (it's quick than using InDesign for small internal projects), I even used it to produce a very complex map recently.

It's one of those software tools that I really don't know how anyone can manage without - and is, for me, one of the real Mac 'Killer applications'

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - Omnigraffle gets my vote for being the best-designed application on the platform.
