Cacoo

Cacoo has a number of excellent features that most people will find adequate. This includes several premade templates alongside shape libraries. They are useful for making: Flowcharts Organizational charts Floor plans Mind maps Network maps Wireframes Infographics Other useful diagrams for presentations The collaborative aspect of Cacoo is where it excels the most. Having multiple team members work on and edit flow charts will be useful for a number of offices. Graphics can be imported from outside of the program and there are a number of options for changing the color scheme. The user interface is highly intuitive and additional shapes and symbols can be added to the diagram simply by dragging and dropping them there. One downside here is that once a shape has been locked onto a diagram, it cannot be altered or changed. It has to be deleted and then added again. That makes it a touch clunky for some. In addition, shapes won’t resize themselves to fit around text that has been added to the shape. Neither does Cacoo contain a spell-check feature. One last feature that most professional flowchart programs have that Cacoo does not is the ability to import or automatically generate diagrams from CSV files. Cacoo contains a large number of features and most folks will find that it offers an excellent environment and meets the vast majority of their needs. Others will find that the excess of features or the lack of advanced options don’t suit their needs entirely or are too cumbersome to work with. That being said, it’s easy to recommend a software like Cacoo because it is feature-rich, easy to work with, and will satisfy the majority of folks who use it. It’s definitely worth a look.
