Overall Satisfaction with Cacoo

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.

Do you think Cacoo delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Cacoo's feature set?

Yes

Did Cacoo live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Cacoo go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Cacoo again?

Yes

Probably not best-in-class UX but it depends mostly on what integrations you need. The UX navigation does not feel as intuitive as some competitors but that might be a localization/experience preference from past software. Optimal for flow-charting type diagramming.
