Org Chart Software

Question

I'm looking for software to display our companies employee organization structure. That is, a tree like structure where the CEO would be at the top of the tree and then all other employees would branch off from there. Don't really have a cost limit, just want to see what's out there.

A few features I'm looking for:

• Windows compatible! Web-Apps are fine, too.

• Ability to add pictures for each node in the chart

• The ability to search for names & keywords that would filter results in the chart

• SQL Server connection

• We have a database containing all employees and their employee ID, as well as their supervisor's employee ID, so ideally the software would be able to auto-populate the structure of the chart using our current data or by using a slightly modified version of our data

Answer 1

If a programmatic solution is acceptable Essential Diagram for JavaScript/Angular supports creating any kind of diagram including Org Charts. Here is an example.

There is an equivalent solution available for WPF if you prefer to build a Windows solution.

• Platform: Web, Windows (both are available)
• Ability to add pictures for each node in the chart: Yes. Example
• The ability to search for names & keywords: Yes. Can be implemented as the Diagram can display a subset of the nodes
• SQL Server connection: Yes
• Use existing data: Yes. The controls support data binding and can be bound to your data.

The whole product is available for free through the community license if you qualify (less than 1 million USD in revenue).

Note: I work for Syncfusion.
