About Cacoo

Cacoo is an online diagram and collaboration tool for businesses to create sitemaps, flowcharts, mind maps, wireframes, mockups, and more. By utilizing and customizing a wide range of in-built templates, or building from scratch, users can create diagrams individually or as a team for brainstorming, workflow management, and project planning.

Using Cacoo’s multi-user workspace, teams of employees can collaborate in real time with features including synchronous editing, version tracking and feedback commenting. Multiple versions of diagrams can be saved by team members in order to retain and track a history of changes, and comments can be added directly to diagrams for actionable feedback or recommendations.

In order to assist users with diagram creation, Cacoo offers a wide range of templates and shapes for a variety of purposes including business process flowcharts, iOS wireframes, brainstorm mind maps, timeline Gantt charts, sales funnels, sitemaps, floor plans, and more. Once created, diagrams can be shared with teammates, management, or clients by sending an entire folder or individual diagram in either read-only or editable format. Diagrams can also be shared via social media, email, or links, and can be exported or embedded into web pages.

    The convenience of having multiple people working on a project at the same time and communicating with them within the tool.

    Pros

    We are an agency and I like that I can set up client projects into folders and EVERYONE on our team has access to project flows, site maps, and wireframes whenever and where ever they are.

    Cons

    The back and forth of going between NuLabs and Cacoo when I have to add another human to the account and or administer the account. Used to now, but it is confusing for anyone coming in new.

    Simple, Functional, Accessible & Flexible

    Pros

    Cacoo can be used for a wide variety of things - As a product owner, I typically use Cacoo for workflow design, user-story mapping, and architectural design/diagramming.

    Our team is able to collaborate around the work within the application - and the outputs can embed straight into our Confluence pages (Atlassian software) using the Cacoo plugin.

    It's incredibly easy to use and I'm able to access my work across all of my devices.

    Cons

    Cacoo previously had a user-driven marketplace for additional stencils, which has now been removed.

    Whilst they significantly upgraded the standard libraries when they removed it - I liked to be able to browse and add additional stencils for the creative community it had.

    Pretty good. I am still here and there are a lot of options out there. I think your price point is the main reason.

    Pros

    I can make a quick diagram for my dev team. Easy to use and understand.

    Cons

    I wish the icons like the AWS icons displayed the name of the icon. I think it is a waste of time to have to enter AWS Cognito. Need way better mobile wireframe icons. You need to group your icons based on devices, frameworks, or operating systems.

    Pros

    The ease of use. It is simple and might not include all the fancy features of desktop apps like Visio and Omnigraffle but the fact that it is online and collaborative makes it perfect for sharing and collaborating across global teams.

    Cons

    Nothing specific comes to mind. More features are always nice but nothing specific I am missing.

    Cacoo is very easy to learn and easy to use, with commendable customer support.

    Reviewed on 23/11/2017

    Pros

    Updates in real-time with collaboration features (chat, etc.). Provides local history to easily undo actions, and version control to track major changes. Basic objects are highly customizable via Inspector tab. Efficient for working by yourself or with a large group/team.

    Cons

    Currently unable to add new connection points to shapes. Would be helpful if compatibility with similar tools (eg. Visio) is available.
