At ProcessOn everyone is able to create teams for the company or group work, you can choose to be public or private, all the diagrams and update in the private teams are kept in high confidential. The team management is unlimited in numbers.

What do you dislike?
1.Limitations of the language:
At present they only support English and Chinese,so it sucks when you can't understand English. If you change your language set,you can see that there are many diagrams and discussions in Chinese.But for ones who are interested in Chinese,this is a good place to go as there are kinds of Chinese sources,business professionals in different field.
2.Lack of plugins for other platforms:
As it's web-based, for most users it' not a big problem. But if you are using other platforms such as JIRA or Confluence,the plugins makes sense.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Common sense I use ProcessOn to create professional flowcharts, diagrams, and many other network diagrams, it is free, web based. It includes all types of business process diagrams, flowcharts, organizational charts, value chain, and many other diagrams that can be shared. The social network is very helpful, gathers business professionals and experts. Using this innovative platform, I also create advertising strategies also. Moreover, it allows me to create advertising campaigns.
