A large quantity of useful templates but still falls into the same UX pitfalls as similar software
What do you like best about the product?
There are lots of templates and icons to choose from which can save time making assets or tracking them down on the internet.
Generally works as well as any other diagramming software you can buy.
Generally works as well as any other diagramming software you can buy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lucidchart sufferers from the issues that all diagramming software has. It is design and layout first and the relationships between items are an afterthought. Honestly it's not that much better than just using photoshop or google drawing. I really wish there was a program that cared about the underlaying relationships of the data that is being presented.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lucidchart is a good enough solution for making flow charts and other diagrams. It helps save some time but I wouldn't say it is pleasant to use.
Cool & easy to use

Easy to work together with team members!
What do you dislike about the product?
We've had some problems users doing multiple changes at once that they are causing conflicts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team collaboration
Was given the software instead of Visio for creating flow charts
What do you like best about the product?
I like that many people can share a project. Sharing a program that all can use and change as needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a slighter bigger leap in training that I was expecting. I did sit through the 2 hour training session, but until you are using it, it's difficult to retain all of the uses and the ease of the use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are mapping out the process for NEPA and how all of the federal agencies work together and what is required by each to create a flow chart.
Lucid for Workflows
What do you like best about the product?
I personally love the variety of options for shapes, colors, and more! I also like being able to edit the document in real time with my colleagues. It is easy to use. I picked it up in 1-2 hours and it has improved my team's quality of work dramatically.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be difficult to find unique shapes, however once found I can always copy and paste between boards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can illustrate workflows for our clients so that they are able to work more efficiently. It is benefitting us because we are able to deliver high quality workflows, with a simple and collaborative tool.
Easy to use, not lacking in features
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to work simultaneously with another developer
What do you dislike about the product?

Modeling the human interaction and decision trees of a scenario.
Solid Diagraming/Process Visualization Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility, templates, and overal customization
What do you dislike about the product?
Steeper learning curve for more advanced features
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Outlining processes and designing user journeys
It is a pretty solid product
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to work collaboratively with the team to be able to put designs together. It is also nice to be able to make pre-defined presets for easy design of repeated tasks. Makes it easy to implement the design that is collaboratively worked on. Easy to check in on frequently to make sure the design is still what is agreed upon.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that there were specific design preset likes for a server where you could just add items in certain rack positions. It would also be nice to alter the background grid to fit with bespoke item aspect ratios.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is allowing right now for a large team to collaborative and iteratively work through the design process of how to set up server racks in the most optimal capacity possible.
Okay experience
What do you like best about the product?
It's pretty intuitive to learn and has a simple UI, so there's no annoying learning curve -- easy to learn and implement! There are a variety of features, which is nice. I use it frequently for school projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's kind of tedious to use, but I haven't found a better product. It's also a bit laggy when using collaboratively.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Even though this isn't a main function, I've found it really useful for making seating maps and event layout charts for large events that my organization puts on! And it looks much more professional than drawing it.
Lucid Review from Corporate User
What do you like best about the product?
My main use for the Lucid platform was to draft up multiple floor plans. The platform was easy to understand and use, I appreciated that the layout was simple and similar to other visual platforms I've used before (Powerpoint/ Canva)
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the tools were difficult to understand at first and still took a while to understand. In my case, I disliked how some of the walls were stuck to the corner of a previous wall I connected it to, having to move it around was difficult as I just wanted to move the singular wall.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to use, pre set floor plan tools
Easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use and set up. Sharing documents is straightforward. I use it for its AWS integration.
What do you dislike about the product?
II haven't had a chance to thoroughly explore it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it to create technical architecture diagrams
