There's also an online service Concept BOOKS allowing sharing and collaborating of documents designed using ConceptDraw DIAGRAM and ConceptSraw PROJECT Server which does the same for collaborating online with ConceptDraw PROJECT.
The apps themselves are self-explanatory i.e. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is for producing diagrams, MINDMAP fir mind mapping, brainstorming etc and PROJECT is like Visio from Microsoft and is for project managing things.
However the real power of ConceptDraw is the solutions that are available, some free and some paid for and there are a great many of them in-fact 158 free and 47 premium covering a vast array of topics.

Some of the paid solution allow for dynamic infographics to be produced i.e. the information will change depending on data from various sources.
It's now possible to make animated gifs with Diagram in presentation mode align topics with a Mindmap and colour task completion in Project.
