Competent, with specific use cases. UI needs some work.
We've used it to diagram the user journey and basic wireframing of an app-based project. Also used it to diagram out the back-end data-base as a first iteration to sort out our RDBMS or non-RDBMS implementation; and system architecture. We're only two people but both of us have contributed. Helps to solve problems of conceptualization.
- Some specific software integration
- Some unique UI features compared to other similar software
- Clean presentation
- Collaboration
- UI navigation
- Connector flexibility
- Improved table object
- Collaboration
- Clean presentation
- Flexibility
- Allowed us to diagram out our user needs, saving us many hours of collaboration
- Allowed us to diagram out our system architecture, saving us many hours of rework
- Sufficient to wireframe a UI as a guiding post to the design while prototyping. Lowers overhead of additional software adoption at early stages.
Mostly for collaborative features and a reasonable price point with our early prototyping. Lucidchart is probably best-in-class for a collaborative flowchart with a great UI but might lack some specific features that Cacoo brings. draw.io is sufficient but not as polisehd. Miro appears to be more suited for design over flowcharting. Visio is more robust but seems less suitable for collaboration.

Cacoo is for you if one OS is too few
I use Cacoo for Marketing process flow charts, mind mapping, and decision trees.
- Flow charts with standard icons or custom visuals
- Conceptual visualizations for presentations.
- Drag and drop Gantt charts
- Org charts
- Wireframes for web development
- Keyboard only functionality is just ok. There are some shortcuts but momentum can be killed if I have to constantly go back to a mouse
- Import/export support for Visio
- Import/export support for OmniGraffle and Sketch
- I was able to easily collaborate on flow charts with Windows and Mac users.
- I was able to co-author flowcharts in real-time during a conference call.
- I was able to send a share link to the interactive chart as well as to an image without having to copy/save it some other cloud storage system.
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.

I know I use it in marketing but I don't believe we've settled on a standard as a company.

Cacoo is easy to use and gives professional visual results
We use Cacoo for mapping, diagrams, whiteboarding online, organizational charts and similar visual support options. Many of our creative team prefer it to other similar options in the market.
- Creative resource for various visual support items
- The free version is robust and nice to staff who have not used it before to get to know the product
- Support has been helpful when needed
- The paid version is more than other products in the market for some needs.
- Some on our team noticed that some of the templates and stencils disappeared in an upgrade last year ( but has not impacted me).
- It's one of many in the market and our agency doesn't mandate the use of any one platform (including this).
- 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.
We have found the free version to be more user-friendly and easier to train on than others. The full version is preferred by many of our creative team and designers as they have familiarity. It has more options and looks "prettier' and more professional when shared with a client.
