### "Logiciel gratuit pour créer des logigrammes" — 4.0/5

> **Aymeric** | *16 November 2023* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Des icônes prédéfinies, très paramétrable. J'utilise surtout le BPMN pour des descriptions de processus. Cela ne permet pas d'aller jusqu'à l'automatisation comme certains logiciels concurrents mais ce n'est pas mon usage. yEd permet de prendre des libertés pour avoir des représentations graphiques facilement compréhensibles de tous. Je m'en sers principalement pour décrire des flux et des processus.&#10;La version en ligne découverte il y a peu est excellente, bien plus riche. Je conseille de favoriser son utilisation à celle du logiciel de bureau.
> 
> **Cons**: Pas si simple à prendre en main : certaines éditions ne sont pas intuitives par exemple. Une utilisation de toutes les fonctionnalités nécessite surement plus de temps de formation que je m'en suis accordé.&#10;Quel dommage que la version installable soit si inférieure à la version en ligne \!

### "Once you dig in, you find the real value\!" — 4.0/5

> **Rick** | *15 February 2019* | Defense & Space | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I like the most about yED is that it has absolutely any feature that you can think that a diagramming and graphing editor should have. It most useful, powerful feature is that it rearranges your flow diagrams for you based on criteria that you set. Using this feature allows you to go wild and add branches everywhere on your diagrams which yED will then rearrange neatly for you when the time comes.
> 
> **Cons**: What I liked the least about yED was the initial learning curve it took to get everything right. There are a lot functions that do not work seamlessly, and you need to click around a bit to figure out how to get the program to respond the way you expect it to. I also think it is outdated that you have to manually resize blocks when text overflows it; this is a bit of a downer for me.
> 
> yED is a feature rich experience that offers everything I need to present diagrams and flow charts to clients. I am able to format the charts professionally and change details on the fly, all the while making sure that the information stays correct.

### "yEd - solution for companies and students" — 5.0/5

> **Bruno** | *26 July 2021* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I started using this software as a management student and keep using it daily on the company. The software has amazing features, is very easy to create flows and diagrams and is even easier to import and export.
> 
> **Cons**: Most probably the biggest improvement is the customer service that is not bad but sometimes takes some time to understand and reply to the real question.
> 
> My overall experience is very good. The price of the software is nice, the features are amazing\!

### "yEd usability" — 3.0/5

> **Robert** | *21 March 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: yEd is a good tool to use for diagrams like BPMN, UML, business or similar kid of schema.&#10;In summary you can install a simple SW , where the library already give you a set of shapes ready to use for your activity, you can use it to create all the process schema requires in your documentation for example.&#10;This Sw is java based so, you can ran it on Windows, Mac or Linux, as you like, create your diagram, exporting it as image and include in your presentation or documents.  Moreover you can have a web interface, interesting if you can't install this sw in the PC that you are using
> 
> **Cons**: Tool is good, you don't need to install so much SW in your PC/Mac to use it like other tools, however the usability is not so friendly, for example when you have to connect 2 shapes in a complex diagram is bit tricky adapt the arrows to avoid to overlap other shapes, using the local installation you cannot drag easily an existing shape in your diagram , you have to select first and drag it  as second action, after that adapt again the arrows used for the connect
> 
> I was looking for a tool easy, with light installation, available in multiple Operating Systems, with a ready to use library to create diagrams like BPMN, Network, UML and so on, this tool helped me multiple time to be honest, the only thing is to make more easy the usability
