What do you dislike about Cacoo?

Although Cacoo is a solid tool, it has some limitations. The free version has basic functions, and to access advanced features, it is necessary to subscribe. Additionally, the loading speed can be slow on weaker connections, affecting the user experience in environments with limited bandwidth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for organisational and business charts"

5/5

What do you like best about Cacoo?

I have been using a variety of programs to create our business flowcharts and organisational charts for a number of years, but Cacoo is by far the sleekest, easiest and creates the most professional charts of the lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cacoo?

There is only one minor drawback that I have come across so far, that some of the line options are a little finicky, and it would be useful to be able to connect one line end to another line start, so that a longer with more placeable shoulders could be created easily.

"Must-have tool for software architect"

5/5

What do you like best about Cacoo?

You can draw both architecture diagram and er diagram with one tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cacoo?

Everytime you generate er diagram from table definition, each table locates different places on screen and it takes some time for you to find tables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cacoo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before I found Cacoo, I used diagram.io and google slides. You can draw architecture diagram with them. But I wanted a tool to generate an ER diagram from existing table definition of PostgreSQL and Cacoo can do it. So it was a big plus for me. In addition to that, Cacoo has built-in Azure Icons and that was really helpful when drawing architecture diagram. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cheryl Qian of Cacoo

Hi Shunsuke,

We're thrilled to hear that Cacoo has been a valuable tool for your architecture and ER diagram needs. Your feedback about the table placement in the ER diagram is noted, and we will work on enhancing this aspect for a better user experience.

Cacoo is Miro, Mural, and Whimsical without the higher price tag. Easy to use, easy to share and teach clients how to add comments, easy for non-technical staff members to figure out, and the best part...FRACTION of the price of the others that do the same thing...it is a no brainer: go with Cacoo!!
