Hi Samantha,
Thank you for the review of Intuitect. I have installed their trial version and I like their approach a lot. Unfortunately, after two days of struggling with it, I have decided to move on and am considering Axure. The reason is that Intuitect is fraught with bugs, things break making me start from scratch, patterns get off-center and cannot be fixed, flowmaps break easily thus having connectors hanging out that cannot be deleted, etc. In the end, I couldn’t really finish a decent flow. They don’t even integrate tables yet. It’s a very good approach, yet the product is not mature and stable YET for real production work. I wish them luck and hope they get it right.

I’ve also reviewed iRise (fabulous yet even their new $10K/year program is still a bit expensive and learning curve is steep), simunicator (very very interesting approach, yet too much programming for what I need), Axure (easiest and most effective for my needs so far), stpBA (not bad, but ugly output), etc. Axure may win out for now.
