About Creately

Creately is a work management platform that runs on a smart visual canvas. Teams use it to brainstorm, plan, manage projects, and capture knowledge in a single space.

Creately combines visual collaboration and diagramming, workflow & project management, wiki and note taking together to provide a no-code environment where users can build and model their own operating system for work.
Creately is trusted by over 8 million users and is used by leading organizations including Netflix, Amazon, NASA, Disney, and PayPal.

Easy to Use Org Chart Software

I tried quite a few software options for org charts and this was the easiest to use and quickest to deploy.

Pros

Creately has some decent templates to begin an org chart or mind map, although some more work could be put into the template selection. From the template, the edits are really easy and intuitive.

Cons

If you want to start from scratch (e.g. no template), the software is a little tricky for a novice to make something that looks professional. The template selection could be augmented to help provide more bases to start from.
