Amazing, simple and easy to use

Super easy to use, fast and reliable. I´ve been using it for years.

Pros

Easy to use
Free
Powerful
Lots of templates

Cons

Recurrence plans
Despite being a bargain for what it offers, the recurrence model ends up accumulating with other services. In the end, the monthly bill gets too high. I'd rather pay a single price per license.

Simple, Functional, Accessible & Flexible

Pros

Cacoo can be used for a wide variety of things - As a product owner, I typically use Cacoo for workflow design, user-story mapping, and architectural design/diagramming.

Our team is able to collaborate around the work within the application - and the outputs can embed straight into our Confluence pages (Atlassian software) using the Cacoo plugin.

It's incredibly easy to use and I'm able to access my work across all of my devices.

Cons

Cacoo previously had a user-driven marketplace for additional stencils, which has now been removed.

Whilst they significantly upgraded the standard libraries when they removed it - I liked to be able to browse and add additional stencils for the creative community it had.

Excellent Web Application

I use this platform principally to create presentation and diagrams that support me in my work.
I'm working as Project Manager in a Gambling company.

Pros

There are more motivation to advise this software to my collegues.
Principally the platform is very simply to use, the interface is very intuitive.
I use this platform because there are a lot of templates that I can choose, there are icons and functions that support me to create diagram and presentation in a short while.

Cons

There aren't functionality that I like least about this software.
I think that this Web Application is perfect.

Very visual and easier to use than other similar platforms or applications, especially for mapping. diagrams and flowcharts

Pros

Easy to create a variety of diagrams and project mapping. Easy to sort and find. Very visual application

It's another tool in our tool box. Various clients and designers prefer this to other applications because it's more visual.

Quick and Easy to Understand Diagramming

So easy I don't give it much thought. Just go to it and do the job.

Pros

When I need a quick diagram, even a complex one, Cacoo gets results fast, and it's so clear, the target audience ask what tool I use.

Cons

Hmmm??? Cacoo can't read my mind and do it for me?

A lifesaver for the diagrammatic expert and process-flow-impaired

After using Visio at work for process flows for several years, I signed up for a free version of Cacoo specifically to mock up some wireframes. I've since started using it for all of my business needs, from diagramming swim lanes for documenting process flows, and I can't imagine life with out it. It's incredibly simple to use, and the free version is full-featured enough to really get a sense of what the tool capable of. The one time I had to ask support for help on a sharing feature they were responsive and knowledgeable. I've hooked a few other coworkers after just by sharing the awesome visual representations I was able to create and we're trying to get it adopted as the standard at our company. Such a time saver and it's improved the quality of my documentation and presentations immensely!

Pros

Ease of use, ease of sharing and exporting

Cons

Different keyboard shortcuts for quick actions (e.g. ctrl + c doesn't always work to copy, so I try to remember to use ctrl + d instead to duplicate, but it throws me off for a second each time)Lo

Best webbased Mockup- and Flowchart tool

I really like to work with Cacoo as I don't have similar Tools like Visio. It is a good platform to be creative. For Example I have used it to create a Gaming Board as a base for an upcoming Board Game.

Pros

This Software is really easy to use and is based on the most popular processes for building strong Flowcharts, Diagrams and Mockups. There are very many Icons and graphics to use

Cons

As it is a webbased Software in some circumstances it is a little slow. and of course you only can use it on big Screens. It should have better performance on Tablets like iPad.

Very Nice Wireframing Tool

We've been users for several years. Over time Cacoo has provided great updates that have been helpful. The newer HTML5 editor is fantastic.

Pros

Cacoo is easy to use and saves time making diagrams that can easily be shared with team members

Cons

Google Fonts don't display when you save as a PDF. It replaces with default system fonts. I think this might be more of an Adobe limitation than Cacoo. I have to save as a PNG file, and it works fine as PNG.

Easy to use and features packed.

Very easy to use and allows to deliver quick diagrams and maps to use in presentations.

Pros

Ease of use and versality are the two main advantages. It's so quick to be mastered that it makes it the "go to" application for drawing/mapping.

Cons

I dislike the fact that you can't access the work one did during the trial period once it expires. For the rest, I dont have much cons to talk about really.

A wonderful diagramming tool

Pros

Templates, Templates, Templates. Cacoo has so many templates that I find it hard not to find one that meets a particular need. And once a template is chosen you just input your information particulars and there, you are done! Cacoo offers a great way to visualize your work and also is very organized. I like that it has a history feature to easily undo actions, and provides version control to track major changes.

Cons

The paid version might be on the pricier side when compared to other diagram development tools. Also, I have no problems in this regard, but a novice may take some time to get use to it.
