Hello Scott!

This is a highly talked about subject in both our forum as well as the Technology and Open Forums.? ?Here is a link to one particular post in the open Forum in which I tried to tie as many of the replies together for everyone.? Personally, I have found the search function at the top of the site to be helpful in looking up topics like this.? Because it is talked about so often, I like the search function as you can narrow your search by Discussions / Forums and year to find the most recent posts.? However, here is one of the more recent posts which may be helpful to you: Diagramming Software Recommendations – Open Forum

And below is my reply to that post.? I hope it helps!? Please reach out with any questions you may have.??

Over the course I time, I have used?MeetingMatrix?and?Social Tables.? I really liked the options and available items I could place on the diagram quickly and easily with Meeting Matrix, but they were not keeping up with some of the wants I had.? I did not like that Meeting Matrix was PC based and needed to be installed on my machine.? Social Tables was quite new when we moved to that system, I loved that the system is Web Based and we could have multiple users creating diagrams all in one location.? It was very helpful in working with my staff.? The ability to share diagrams with event planners and both be looking and editing the diagram together from two locations is fantastic.? My one gripe is that the price of subscription has sky rocketed since we started with Social Tables.? I too have been looking for an alternative, but am having a hard time finding other web based solutions.??

Your question is one that comes up often in both the Facilities & Operations and the Technology communities.? Here are some links to related posts over the past couple of years.

I realize I put in many links, but it shows just how popular this topic is for many people.? From what I can see in most of the posts, many people have either gone to Visio or are with Social Tables.? Some of us with Social Tables are not necessarily happy with the service or support of the product after it was purchased by Cvent. I know I feel a bit stuck with my history of diagrams there, but am truly unhappy about the price.?

I am sure there are more, but here is a listing of the options I can remember seeing in all of the various posts.

Subject: Floor Plan Diagram Software

Our student union is looking at replacing their version of meeting matrix to design room set up diagrams to scale.  I’m looking for any software recommendations.  We use EMS Enterprise as our scheduling software and will be attaching diagrams to the reservations. 

Thanks in Advance,
Scott
