A great option for flow chart creation with one caveat
Pros
- The flexibility of use when it comes to design.
- Option for collaboration with users who do not have paid accounts.
Cons
- The transition Creately made this year to their new non-Flash platform seems to almost function like a beta release in some instances.
- Customer support sometimes takes a while to return and the responses are not always the best or most helpful. Follow up isn't great, either.
Return on Investment
- Org chart management has been moved away from MS products which tend to be very rigid when it comes to creating/updating flowcharts.
