EdrawMax is a great data flow diagram maker because of its simple layout, great aesthetics, and excellent import and export options. We use data flow diagrams in almost every software project we handle in our software development company. Our non-technical clients easily understand the process and respond very appropriately.

I am here to give a 5/5 EdrawMax review. As a student, I couldn't afford the top-notch programs but was a technology enthusiast. I couldn't simply go with hand-drawn drawings. EdrawMax is now my holy grail software for all my diagrams and illustrations.

It is software that is easy to use, intuitive and intelligent. The EdrawMax team has done well in the templates department with a great array of samples for almost all diagrams. Though, their customer service can show some improvement.
