For my own use, I use pen and paper (for program design/brainstorming) and Inkscape if I need to have a diagram in a document (occasionally I use emacs' artist mode and ditaa for fun, too). At work, we use (org-wide) LucidCharts, which is decent enough at what it does (online diagramming tool with good collaboration abilities, can be embedded easily)

Here are few tools I found -

Creately - creately.com

RealtimeBoard - realtimeboard.com

LucidChart - lucidchart.com

Bubbl - bubbl.us

Textografo - textografo.com

Smartdraw - smartdraw.com

Microsoft Visio

I've not used all of them. Looking for suggestions (preferably free tool).

I also use pen and paper a lot. Found Pencil (https://github.com/evolus/pencil) which is similar to Inkscape (UI/UX is little better).

Will check LucidCharts for teams.
