Cacoo vs. Xmind

The support around a bug in the tool which prevented the correct printing of diagrams. Support came back after a few days, and there was no workaround. Eventually, the bug was fixed in a future release. The company does not pay much attention to user forums. With better support and plugin mechanism for user contributions, the product would be more convincing.

Cacoo is web-based and OS independent. OmniGraffle is a local install and mac only. Microsoft Visio is a desktop app also and Windows only. Two strikes for me, as I use between 2-4 different computers daily where I expect my applications to be always up-to-date and files synchronized.

This is the first tool of its kind that I have used, however it's simple UI and low learning curve make it very beginner friendly

• Easier to diagram and create workflows without having to engage a designer's assistance. That means staff at lower billable hourly rates, reducing overall admin or billable hours cost.
• Less time involved in creating support documents for less robust product options. Again, reducing overall admin or billable hours cost.
• Most of our staff use the free version so no added cost until they are familiar and really embrace it = a reduction in upfront cost.

Incentivized

• Increased productivity of employees.
• Provided structure and clear thought processes.
• Reusable content.
