Limited Advanced Features: While Cacoo is great for basic diagramming, it lacks some of the advanced features and customization options found in more robust tools like Lucidchart or Visio, which can be limiting for power users.

Performance with Complex Diagrams: When working on large or highly detailed diagrams, Cacoo can sometimes lag or slow down, especially in browsers with many open tabs or lower system resources. This can hinder productivity during intense collaborative sessions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I also like the template variety — it's a quick way to get going without starting from scratch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Onboarding feels a bit fragmented — helpful elements like Cacoo Academy or demo calls are not easily discoverable.

It's a useful tool for mapping with a blank canvas feature - I find it particularly useful for site mapping as the charts allow easy movement and to add branches. It's pretty straightforward and intuitive. I really like the fact that views can be shared. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The limited number of diagrams for the free version isn't ideal (though I do understand why). While it's great for larger /complex site maps it can be a bit fiddly (/take some getting used to) for something smaller which could fit easily within word/powerpoint.
