Task 2:Basic Reasons to Choose SmartDraw Over Visio®

SmartDraw Is Better for Everyday Business Users

Although Visio is a powerful product, it is best suited to technical experts. It can be overwhelming to the average user who just wants to draw presentation-quality diagrams without having to learn a complex program. SmartDraw provides ample drawing power while remaining easy enough for anyone to use.

SmartDraw Is More Versatile than Visio

SmartDraw includes more than 20,000 ready-made symbols and 2,400 templates that cover a much broader array of diagram types than Visio®. SmartDraw also lets you import or create your own symbol libraries, allowing you to easily customize the solution for your business.

SmartDraw Creates Better Presentation-Quality Graphics

Most of Visio's built-in symbols are simple line drawings and stick figures. SmartDraw includes tens of thousands of rich, colorful built-in symbols to help you look like an artist even if you can't draw a straight line.
SmartDraw also offers robust, ready-made color themes (with shadows, glows, and gradients) that will give your entire drawing a professional finish with a few mouse-clicks, whereas Visio offers some simplistic, ready-made color schemes that don't really compare.

And if it's clip art you want, SmartDraw gives you more than 7,000 built-in clip art graphics, whereas Visio gives you less than 500.
