Fantastic Business Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like the versatility of the tool --- I can brainstorm, conduct workshops and draw full diagrams for process flows and system architecture.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are features that Miro offers today that make it more collaborative for workshops. I would love to see Lucid add this to their arsenal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping me get things on "paper." I like the freedom to shift and go another direction. I like the versatility of the product. It helps get things out of my head to a shareable space.
Lucid is Great for Agile work and some ERD work.
What do you like best about the product?
Lucid has some great capabilities for Agile flows especially in sprint retrospectives. Firstly, it has great jira integration. Lucid can import Jira tickets and convert items to Jira it is a nice addition to the Agile work flow. Secondly, it makes it really easy to prioritize tasks as a team by using Visual Activities. For instance if you want to get feedback from the team of which items they think is most important you can have each team member rank order the items in terms of priority. Visual activities will then collect the results from all team members and then do a group ranking. This can allow you to get very quick feedback on what the team thinks is the most important task to work on or the most important improvement. Due to the Agile support we are now using the tool regulalry for our sprint retrospectives.
Lucid also has some capabilities for supporting ERD diagrams which is very helpful if you work with data. Currently I have been using it to create Entities with their Keys, Names and types. We are connecting the entities using the crow foot connections to indicate the relationships between the various entities. We have been using it normalize the data that we have splitting entities into more entities to be reviewed as a team. The benefit of Lucid is that we can collaborate as a team and also share a link to review the work. When we are done we will be able to generate the SQL for the database to use.

What do you dislike about the product?
The main shortcoming I found with Lucid in the ERD was when trying to import raw SQL into an ERD diagram. Currently lucid supports PostGres, MySQL, MS SQL and Oracle. Since we use Redshift there is not a straight forward way to easily import the SQL. Better yet it would be good if you could simply copy your CREATE TABLE statement and have Lucid convert it into an ERD. However, if you are creating an ERD from scratch then these issues may not be as important. I hope Lucid considers adding this feature as it would make it easier to update existing SQL that are in an existing database.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Lucid to solve 2 problems. The first is to improve our sprint retrospectives. It allows for quick voting on issues as a team allowing us to easily prioritize items that should be improved. Also due to the nice jira integration we can both import jira issues and export items in lucid back as Jira issues. Also we are using it to do some ERD modelling. Lucid allows us to more easily collaborate when we are doing ERD diagrams, creating the various entities and connecting them together. Also it allows us to export those entities into SQL which saves us time.
Quick templates for quick results
What do you like best about the product?
Its intuitive interface allows a new user to quickly start on a project regardless of knowledge of the software
What do you dislike about the product?
So far no dislikes. I would only recommend more templates to be added as the software progresses
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mapping workflows and procedures between multiple groups and stakeholders.
Collaboration Diagraming Tools
What do you like best about the product?
Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite allows user to create various diagrams with no limit to creativity. The best thing is that different users can collaboratively add, delete and modify the diagrams on the same whiteboard concurrently which greatly improves on productivity when during discussion.
What do you dislike about the product?
The number of shapes are limited. Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite can consider using more diagraming shapes in different categories, just like how Microsoft Visio does.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to pen down our ideas on a particular proposal that needs a lot of creativity thoughts. By gathering ideas from the team, located at different part of the world, at the same time, we were able to collaboratively conclude a suitable solution for our business proposal.
Very useful & versatile
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use is very high and the ease of implementation is also good for creating AWS architecture diagrams. I use Lucid every time I or a team member creates a diagram, so I use Lucid a lot.
What do you dislike about the product?
Customer support button is not intuitive to find. I wish it would be easier to integrate Lucid chart with websites like github or bitbucket.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lucid is helping us with diagramming, mind mapping, and collaborative whiteboard. They make it really easy for us to do those 3 things and make diagramming less of a chore.
Great tool for creating flow charts
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to make edits. We work on some complicated flow charts that usually have to go through a lot of revisions. It's great to be able to move boxes around, change descriptions, and add new elements while meeting about these changes. We use these flow charts in presentations, official documents, and in brainstorming meetings.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the only downside is if I'm working with somebody without access. My team usually has to do the driving on a shared screen in those situations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a much faster and efficient method of creating the diagrams that we use than any other method I've used. Other methods I've used are very difficult to edit where small edits can sometimes throw of the formatting for the entire chart. Lucid is really easy to update on the fly.
Easy visualization
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use and the UI and ease of sharing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Crows feet diagrams might feel cluttered.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is making it very easy to create organisation charts and data models for the organisation, leading to process enhancement.
Better tha draw.io - I liked it
What do you like best about the product?
Quit interactive and provide various ways for visual collaboration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing. It is perfect. Keep up the good work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite is a complete platform for teams who want to collaborate visually, no matter where they are or how they work. Virtual whiteboarding, intelligent diagramming, and cloud visualization empower organizations to take plans from initial ideas to successful delivery.
Slick and Fast, better than visio.
What do you like best about the product?
I can import 3rd party images and icons.
What do you dislike about the product?
Still looking for that "dislike" function.
