Cacoo Review

PROS: This is a terrific platform with great features such as user-friendly interface, easy illustration sharing, as well as great preciseness for different tasks. It also sports a useful collaboration feature for illustrations.

CONS: The tool cannot upgrade diagrams that are produced using old flash applications. It takes a significant time when copying as well. So far, these are the biggest problems I’ve noticed.

PROS: This is a suitable app for creating analytical maps since it greatly helps me come up with graphs and other visuals. It features multiple templates, formats, letters, and topics among other options, and it allows you to put texts directly from your device too. It always helps me a lot; thus, I always keep it ready especially when I need to churn out some visuals immediately.

CONS: The free version of this tool has some problems. Although, these are resolved when I bought a license. When you share a project, you can’t make any changes, and you’d end up with limited actions. You also need to connect to the web for sharing files with others.

PROS: This platform lets me easily shape a graph and its details through automated features. It also allows me to easily put different elements together into one flow chart, then I can export output files into different needed formats. However, I hope for a feature that exports files directly into MS Office compatible formats.

CONS: First, the search feature for its options is quite disorganized, and it is very difficult to find a certain needed option. It doesn’t come with ML architectures as well, let alone templates related to such features, which is a big downside right in its marketing campaign. Also, it doesn’t efficiently work with other helpful platforms such as LATEX and Monday, which are great for different science-related fields. Computer engineers, data scientists, and analysts want a platform that seamlessly assembles a design for a convenient presentation.

PROS: A largely helpful platform that is so convenient to use. It also receives updates and improvements frequently, which makes it work even better.

CONS: I hope this can save Google Fonts into PDF files. The platform automatically changes the fonts into default since it won’t copy what Google has. This forces me to save files in PNG formats, or grab URLs that I can send to others. There’s no other disadvantage I’ve found.

PROS: This powerful designing software is incredibly easy to use. Also, it allows the use of Unified Modeling Language artifacts into different diagrams. This is a tremendous help for presentations or for marketing and sales processes.

CONS: It is hard to choose elements then move them in the interface, and such a task comes with inaccuracy problems too. Arrows that automatically show on images are quite annoying since they make it harder to make images look fabulous and ready for showing.

PROS: It helps me create maps and diagrams on the web without hassles, which is great for coming up with designs that accurately depict products. Say, I can create a website wireframe through Cacoo, then deliver it to the developer for coding. Moreover, it comes with cool guides on how to create presentations and diagrams online, as well as a trusty messaging platform. Most of all, it is very easy to use, and it comes with a free version deal.

CONS: Yes, you can share designs and diagrams through the free version of Cacoo, but it has big restrictions. You and the others cannot edit a design, you cannot move any element, and you need to connect online to share anything.

PROS: I've used a lot of design solutions in the past years, and Cacoo is, by far, the best one that I've used. If I want to create a design from scratch, I can easily do so. I can dictate the branding and the entire look of it, depending on my preferences. If I'm a little short on time, I can also tap into the well of templates that it already has. This way, I can just input my data and voila--I have a diagram! Adding pages/sheets to my existing works is not a problem too. Cacoo probably has the best support when it comes to editing designs. To top it all off, the autosave function has saved me a couple of times as well.

CONS: Cacoo can be quite picky with the image resolution that it accepts in its system. They can't save previously uploaded digital media files too. It would be nice if I can use these files in another output. On the economic side, I wish that they would extend the free trial period. 14 days somehow is not enough for me.

PROS: Cacoo boasts a complete set of features you can use for making designs. It is easy to use, and it has helped me with personal use and for my job.

CONS: I encounter some difficulties when trying to find some items in the app. I feel it needs improvements when used for professional purposes too. When you illustrate a design plan, for instance, it lacks some gauges for proportion to yield accurate results.

PROS: Easy and convenient software that works similarly to a digital and online A3 paper for our team. This is a big help when I’m on an online team, and members are located miles apart. It has made our new project easier since we can easily share a file, then make real-time edits when necessary. Say, I’m on an online meeting with a client and an element is missing from the design he wants. My co-workers can add such items instantly while the meeting is going on.

CONS: This platform is largely helpful for various designing tasks. However, its mobile version has significant issues. I’m hoping for some great improvements.

PROS: It comes with dozens of useful templates that are very great for coming up with the best diagram. These templates come in various designs; meaning, you’d surely find the perfect one you need. And this is how it helps in making our teamwork more competently.

CONS: This software is difficult to learn, especially that it has a quite confusing interface. However, it becomes amazingly easy when you’re already used to its features. You can generate tons of diagrams through it in a shorter time.

PROS: Cacoo has been a big help in our sales endeavors. How? Because it lets us design diagrams so that we can convince our clients of the merits of our company. It also allows us to save these outputs in a variety of formats.

CONS: It's not the most responsive when it comes to keyboard shortcuts. This is a shame because I rely on these shortcuts to save time and be more efficient. Toggling from one task to another is almost as close to impossible too.

PROS: Cacoo is a great program because I can perform pretty much anything here. I can tap into it if I need to create diagrams such as mind maps, graphs, organizational maps, etc. It's a very versatile tool with a lot of features under its belt. Another thing that I love about it is that it allows users to do a test run before committing to it. We did the 14-day trial to see if it is the right fit for us, and it was! There is a myriad of templates here that I can just build from.

CONS: Cacoo is one of the best tools in our toolbox at work. It has everything that I need in a product of its kind. However, I do think that the price can be a little steep. If they were to lower the monthly rate a bit, I could probably wax poetry for it.

PROS: I have been a Cacoo user for almost half a decade now and, to this day, it remains to be my top choice. It's a very polished and well-designed too--no button is out of place and everything is where it should be. I'm sold with Cacoo with just from the interface alone.

CONS: I don't use it as often enough to justify a whopping 5USD per month. I wish that they would give us the option to simply pay on a per piece (aka per graph or diagram) basis. This way, we can truly get the most out of our buck.

PROS: Cacoo has been my go-to tool for creating and editing graphs and diagrams. It is easy to learn and even easier to create content with. I also think that it's great that they allow users to produce content in various formats. It can read and even download just about any formatting type--from .jpg, png, etc. On top of all of this, it also encourages an environment of collaboration. Because it is web-based, our team members can access it even while they are on the go. Here, they exchange opinions and brainstorm projects together. You won't be intimidated in making changes too because you rest assured that the system has kept a record of the previous version. If you mess it up, you can always backtrack.

CONS: They recently rolled out a new version that is more difficult to learn than the previous one. However, I'm giving this a few more weeks before I give my final verdict.
