In daily work, colleagues occasionally need to make an architectural diagram, the frequency is not high, time is uncertain. However, the Visio trial period is only 30 days, after which you need to buy a license to be available. How to do it?
And our colleagues are in the case of different office networks, so it is cumbersome to authorize the installation of the application. How to solve it?
So I will share with you two relatively simple free online applications that can replace Visio for emergency.
As for the difference between them, you will find it by the wisdom of you!
PS: I got feedback from my colleagues that it’s very easy to use
ProcessOn
ProcessOn is an aggregation platform for online mapping tools. It can draw flowcharts, mind maps, UI prototypes, UML, network topology diagrams, organization charts, etc.
No need to worry about downloading and updating, whether it’s Mac or Windows, a browser can be creative and planning work anytime, anywhere.

Draw.io
Draw.io is very convenient for drawing normal flowcharts as well as processon. If you have a lightweight flowchart to create, draw.io allows you to stop thinking about drawing lines and frames.
For the support of complex flowcharts, the support of draw.io is obviously more human. Rocket Jun tried to make a swim lane map. draw.io can identify which flow chart elements are in each lane, and can also adjust the size of each lane separately.
