What do you dislike about the product?
File revision management on Lucidchart is poor.Sharing functionality can be more effective than it is at present.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lucidchart is the primary software used in my company for flowcharts, visualization diagramming etc .It is used by multiple departments in my organization and fantastic for collaboration.
Easy to grasp collaboration software
What do you like best about the product?
I like the live editing feature as it allows me to collaborate with my team in real-time during a meeting. I also like the sticky notes that give it a whiteboard-like feel.
For wireframing, I like using the different flowchart related shapes that are easily accessible through a left panel. Also, I like how Lucidchart can handle more than 50 users at a time as seen during our meetings.

What do you dislike about the product?
I feel the scroll and zoom is not as smooth as it could be. I have trouble moving around on the board. Also, I feel the UI to be rudimentary and not aesthetically pleasing. The editor has a clunky and old school interaction with dull grey colours used. I also think it takes more time to load than the usual collaboration software. I am unsure if its because of the size of the file or the number of users collaborating or general experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We give consolidated feedback for projects with Lucidchart in realtime. It really helps to have everyone's comments together in the same place.
I also create flowcharts to help my team understand the flow of applications. I also work in conversation design and use Lucidchart to create dialog flows for chatbots. Using this software has helped me bridge the gap of brainstorming when working virtually. I am able to collaborate with my team and have whiteboarding sessions on Lucidchart without having to meet in person. It is definitely a useful tool from a distributed team collaboration standpoint.

Simple, professional charts and diagrams
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use and built-in components make the tool remarkable simple to onboard with and produce elegant, professional diagrams.
What do you dislike about the product?
User management and sharing among the team can be complicated. More than once we've needed to contact customer support to get access to documents "owned" by a departing colleague.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a way to produce solid visualizations of complex data pipelines and application relationships for less technical stakeholders. Lucidchart has made this incredibly simple. The cloud storage means we never lose anything and can collaborate across the team to flesh things out!
Critical to building complex charts for my team

There are several things I like about this product:
- Ease of use
- Ability to expand the chart without sacrificing space

What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more icons we could use in order to illustrate different points on the charts. For example, I wish there were specific Salesforce icons for when I am doing a chart or diagram related to the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before, my team was using Powerpoint in order to build charts. It was frustrating because you had limited space in which to build the chart and make it readable. Now that we use Lucidchart, it's cleaner, better design and we're not limited by the constraints of a product that isn't intended to create these charts and flows.
The best option for creating and sharing flowcharts
What do you like best about the product?
Has all the diagrams and figures needed to make complete and meaningful charts
The sharing options are excellent and make it easy to have multiple people working on charts at the same time

What do you dislike about the product?
The saving option for off line viewing sometimes doesn't represent what you're seeing on the screen
Needs either a mobile app that works or support for mobile browsers to view charts away from your computer

Creating charts for all of the processes we have in our organization

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Simply the best option, just make sure that you have at least written down all the tasks and processes that you are going to chart, makes sense to have an organizational meeting to define the format and level of detail for the charts, so all business units give the same amount of detail when making charts
The most complete in the market.
What do you like best about the product?
It has a lot more options to use than any other similar website and most of them are free.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe the User Interface doesn't have the latest design nor it's as simple and intuitive as others.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has helped me a lot to improve the quality in my homeworks and my school projects.

Simply the best
Easy and intuitive to use
What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful thing is how easy and simple it is to pick up out of the box and use without a big learning curve. I also love the different templates for different business processes and use cases. The shortcuts are a huge plus. Overall, it makes diagrams look super professional. I enjoy the integrations between lucid chart and different software like Confluence.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the file and folder structure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use lucid chart for process diagramming.
Great product
What do you like best about the product?
Designing Mind maps on Lucidchart is easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Accuracy of picking up items and moving them. I think Text boxes should automatically shrink to size.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I like looking at diagrams to solve problems.
Saves Time for Little Money
What do you like best about the product?
Lucid gives me instant access to tons of visualization products that each would take days to build one by one. The integrations with my other systems allow me to track data, build team collaboration, and create incredible products for my business. The ease of use and tutorial videos are world-class. Lucid gives everyone on my teams an opportunity to be creative, as they don't have to worry about learning new systems.
I know many people get frustrated with having to make visualizations of great ideas, but they are truly the best way to sell products, understand product flow, or create greater efficiencies. This system takes the pressure off to create and puts power in the hands of those with knowledge to leverage their abilities for maximum gain.

What do you dislike about the product?
Microsoft integration takes a little time to learn, but it's not difficult. I'm not sure how much it costs to host them on their site, but I would prefer to have the instructional videos within the templates, rather than on YouTube. There is incredible material out there, but going back and forth between sites is just an extra step (a minor inconvenience, but still).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We currently use many different flowcharts and process diagrams. Lucid lets us track progress and visually depict that progress in ways we didn't think possible before. I personally use the system to foster mind mapping and brain storming. I've even found their SaaS materials perfect for enhancing training.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You won't find anything easier to use, IMO. This simply does the work you need it to do so you can focus on your specialty.
Gets our workflow going and keeps everything on track
What do you like best about the product?
The look of the drawing tools and chart objects are generally crisp and clear, which makes them easy to use and understand. There is a diverse range of projects and uses available for Lucidchart. We can draw on existing templates that help to give us a good starting point for our charts. I like that we can add many users and the pricing per month is relatively low.
What do you dislike about the product?
Once charts get lots of nodes and boxes, it can start to get hard to understand how to program and edit further data. It's mostly been beneficial for most of our project and product design planning activities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Lucidchart to easily create charts in a digital cloud-based space that lets several users contribute or plan together wherever they are. We don't have to actually be online at the same time to more the chart creation and editing forward. We can always come back to the charts at different times to add more information.
