### "Best software to manage a company's inflows and outflows "

March 25, 2023

5.0

I am solving problems of ease to make reports at the end of each week of business cash flows. This is due to the available features as flowcharts

Pros

Cacoo is one of the easiest software I can recommend companies to use to manage their businesses in terms of finances. Cacoo is very affordable as to the good services it offers.

Cons

I find the software fine. Its easy to use therefore the more you learn the easier it becomes to use

Switched from

[Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/)

I was recommended to use it as it's one of the best software to manage business cash flows

### "Cacoo is very easy to learn and easy to use, with commendable customer support."

November 23, 2017

5.0

Pros

Updates in real-time with collaboration features (chat, etc.). Provides local history to easily undo actions, and version control to track major changes. Basic objects are highly customizable via Inspector tab. Efficient for working by yourself or with a large group/team.

Cons

Currently unable to add new connection points to shapes. Would be helpful if compatibility with similar tools (eg. Visio) is available.

### "Easy to use for simple diagrams"

November 6, 2018

4.0

Software system architecture and design diagrams. Collaborating with teams across the globe.

Pros

The ease of use. It is simple and might not include all the fancy features of desktop apps like Visio and Omnigraffle but the fact that it is online and collaborative makes it perfect for sharing and collaborating across global teams.

Cons

Nothing specific comes to mind. More features are always nice but nothing specific I am missing.

I've been trying to switch everyone I know to this software since I found it.

The best part about Cacoo and what makes it stand out above the rest is the real-time collaboration feature.

There's not really much guidance on certain minor features when it comes to operation of Cacoo.

Pros

My favorite software is the Shapes, I can easy to find the match shape and using on my graph in the min time.

### "Good tool"

October 23, 2018

5.0

Very good experience.

Pros

\- Multiple users can edit one diagram at the same time. - Functionality to "play" diagrams like a presentation. - Nice export options (pdf, png) - easy to share with other users

Cons

In the past, Cacoo was using Flash but they've already migrated to HTML so, no Cons for me.

### "Review"

October 23, 2018

4.0

Pretty good. I am still here and there are a lot of options out there. I think your price point is the main reason.

Pros

I can make a quick diagram for my dev team. Easy to use and understand.

Cons

I wish the icons like the AWS icons displayed the name of the icon. I think it is a waste of time to have to enter AWS Cognito. Need way better mobile wireframe icons. You need to group your icons based on devices, frameworks, or operating systems.

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

April 23, 2017

5.0

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

### "An online diagram Maker."

December 30, 2019

4.0

A web-based application that can be accessed from anywhere in a very convenient way to work. I just bring my atom computer and that's it, I can build any mind map immediately with cacoo.

Pros

A mind map or diagram is very important in my business. The standardized icons and workflow are really very helpful. When getting from photoshop it is really a relief that all icons are really familiar. For a basic diagram, it really does a great job. Online sharing job eliminates needs to upload again to cloud. Sharing embedded with Iframe is very handy when sharing on a WordPress blog. Not uploading to the server means less bandwidth consumption and resource. The browser-based application makes my work simple.

Cons

I need to use a bit powerful computer to use it cacoo, my atom processor does the job terribly. Using a good computer needed for flawless performance.

### "Best webbased Mockup- and Flowchart tool"

March 18, 2019

5.0

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.

### "Quick and Easy to Understand Diagramming"

July 8, 2023

5.0

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?

### "Excellent Diagram Tool for a team"

November 5, 2020

5.0

Our network diagrams are maintained to a much higher level than with previous tools. The speed with which we can build out diagrams allows us to provide visual aids to prospective customers very quickly and easily.

Pros

Very pleased with how simple it is to add custom object and integrate them into our workflow. Edits are intuitive and straightforward. Easy to train and onboard new users.

Cons

Biggest gripe about the software is the handling of transparency when adding objects. There's some level of frustration with trying to 'connect' objects with lines in our diagrams with the aforementioned (poor) transparency handling.

I notice that make changes in the diagrams are very easy and quick, so, it's helpful when a mistake must be corrected immediately.

Pros

You don't need to pay to try it out. It's very easy to use and covers a lot of things to make elegant diagrams

Cons

It's not completely responsive on some mobile devices.

April 15, 2019

5.0

With the free version you can save your map to an image. This tool is useful to help students organize their ideas when they are working on a project collaboratively.

Pros

Cacoo allows me to organize my ideas in an easy way. It is very user friendly. The features that I like the most are the templates and the diversity of icons that I can insert in my mind-map.

Cons

Unfortunately you have to pay to print your mind map or to save it to a PDF file.

February 18, 2019

5.0

Pros

Of all of the different spatial mapping options I tried, Cacoo offered the cleanest and most flexible creative experience. It easily handled both representing my qualitative research analysis and the gymnastics group routines I designed.

Cons

A few more features would be helpful, such as some auto alignment and spacing features.

### "One of the best wireframing tools out there!"

February 11, 2019

5.0

I have been using Cacoo for creating charts, diagrams, site maps, site architecture and to create images to use in presentations to take people through really complex concepts in a very user friendly and clear way

Pros

I've been using Cacoo for over 7 years now and I still love it and prefer to most other online tools I've tried. It's good value in terms of price but provides an impeccable service and it's completely based online so it's very handy both for collaboration, back ups and can be used pretty much from anywhere.

Cons

the only thing I'd like for them to improve is the image manipulation tool

### "Amazing, simple and easy to use"

November 26, 2019

5.0

I use it mainly to make mindmaps, some wireframes and to design the fluxogram of apps.

Pros

It´s very intuitive, its interface is getting better every day with UX improvements. It just does what it´s supposed to do.

Cons

I don´t have any complaints. The one improvement that I wish is a keyboard shortcut for zooming in an out.
