Considered Both Products	Cacoo Verified User Anonymous Chose Cacoo Mostly for collaborative features and a reasonable price point with our early prototyping. Lucidchart is probably best-in-class for a collaborative flowchart with a great UI but might lack some specific features that Cacoo brings. Draw.io is sufficient but not as polisehd.

Frank Digital Asset Management and Art Buyer Chose Cacoo We have found the free version to be more user-friendly and easier to train on than others.

Likelihood to Recommend	It's a great alternative to taking photos of whiteboards to save for later reference, you can just create them here. It's also the best option I've found for creating workflows and organization charts, especially complex ones. If you have just a simple workflow or chart, it's probably too robust or complicated for those needs. Save it for the trickier or messier ones! Incentivized Ann M. Frank Digital Asset Management and Art Buyer Read full review	Creately is a commonly used tool to create infographic elements for your workflows. It is effortless to use and has excellent and underrated features such as rules & database creation. While using Creately, one can not create hierarchical structures such as folders inside folders and so on for organizing diagrams.

Return on Investment	Allowed us to diagram out our user needs, saving us many hours of collaboration Allowed us to diagram out our system architecture, saving us many hours of rework Sufficient to wireframe a UI as a guiding post to the design while prototyping. Lowers overhead of additional software adoption at early stages.
