Powerful, flexible, collaborative Visio-butt kicker
What do you like best about the product?
I especially love the collaborative features of Lucidchart! The ability for me to work together with others in the cloud without passing diagrams around is huge.
I also love the ability to search for different icons and graphics across the internet.
I also love the ability to search for different icons and graphics across the internet.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do a lot of Azure cloud architecture diagrams and it surprises me when I find standard Azure services not having an icon already available in Lucid. It would be great if there was a tighter integration with Microsoft to make sure that there is always an icon available for all the Azure services.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Besides data platform architecture diagrams, Lucidchart also is helping me build out multi-stream process workflow diagrams. Lucidchart makes it super easy to quickly create new swimlanes.
Easy to use and versatile for different scenarios
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to get started by dragging and dropping the shapes and connectors you want to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a bit daunting to find the right settings to customize your shapes after getting started.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is what I use to draw flowcharts and show user journeys.
Great tool!
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of getting started. The template shapes and icons.
What do you dislike about the product?
Stickies are not reshapeable. I'd like to use them as a rectangle to put my chart titles in. Sometimes the grab is too sensitive.

Mapping intricate ETL processes
Lucidchart is as good as any charting solution I've used, high recommended
What do you like best about the product?
I remember early versions of charting software were pretty poor at connecting shapes and arranging them as you wanted. Initially, when using Lucidchart, I was surprised at how well it all worked for being a web-based tool. I spent most of my time with charting applications before Lucid chart using Visio. While it's a solid product, I'm always happy to start a new job and see that I have Lucid available to me. The software does everything we need to document our company's enterprise software.
What do you dislike about the product?
There seem to be many features baked into the product that I feel like I could be using, but I end up mainly just using the basic functionality. It seems like many diagrams exist at my company that could be useful, but for whatever reason, I don't have access to them. Perhaps increased discoverability of charts within a company would be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Lucidchart to document the bounded contexts of our enterprise software. We have a microservices architecture and use Lucid to show the dependencies and dataflow between the services that make up our solutions.
Great for mock ups
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart is great for mocking up workflows, website pages, and so much more.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lucidchart has so many great features it's easy to use and figure out, I have no complaints
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use lucidchart for workflows and application wireframes
A Visual Is Worth 1000 Words
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart is helpful to put thoughts into a visual to assist in articulating thoughts that can sound abstract. I love the number of templates that exist and the ease of use in creating new images and editing existing images.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a slight learning curve when you first begin to use Lucidchart, like any other new tool. There are also a lot of templates to choose from so you may feel overwhelmed at all of the options, initially.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mapping out workflows across multiple teams, and drilling into specific workflows of a single team. It also helps visualize all of the different data sets that exist within an organization so you can zoom out and potentially make sense of how different data sets connect to ultimately alleviate silos.
LucidChart is an awesome mapping software for people who do it collaboratively!
What do you like best about the product?
I like LucidChart's ability to collaborate and add notes per shape feature. It's very easy to use and the output looks professional. We tried using whimsical at first but we were not getting as much depth as we would like.
What do you dislike about the product?
LucidCharts ability to talk with their other products like LucidSpark feels so clunky. I just hope that they add the ability for live updating for the Chart to Spark integration soon.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LucidChart helps you visualize processes which is what we need before we start our consulting sessions with our customers. They get to see bottlenecks and areas for improvement and everyone gets to talk about their scope of work, what they wish they are accountable on, and which ones they wish get delegated to someone else.
Best Cloud Diagraming Software Available
What do you like best about the product?
I use Lucidcharts to document processes, data flows, architecture, and more. It's intuitive and has the right amount of auto-formatting, allowing you to create organized/clear diagrams quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
It used to take a few clicks to export diagrams, but that process has recently gotten faster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lucid helps me take complicated business or technical processes and simplify them. A picture says 1000 words, and I can now diagram faster than I can type. This type of documentation is even more valuable as teams have shifted to a more remote/hybrid environment.
Best Collaborative Flow Charting Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to look at a flow with a team remotely and make changes quickly is a life-saver. It takes a little time to learn, and isn't so intuitive that you can pass the role off easily if someone is new to Lucid, but overall is a great tool once you get used to it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not very intuitive. Takes some time to learn. Which means that if only one person in a meeting is good with the tool, they have to be there, you can't pass off ownership to anyone, like when taking meeting notes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Charting out processes in real time with people that don't always thing in a process-oriented way. Nice to switch between a system and process view pretty easily.
The simplest yet creative tool available for all process diagramming.
What do you like best about the product?
I create swim lanes and diagrams portraying the systems that connect within each various system in our company. It's easy to use and creative with different shapes, forms and colors.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike so far. I have been a lucid user for 3+ years, and I love everything about it. That there is nothing that I dislike at all. The tool itself is easy to use and very self-taught.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping me solve Various complex diagrams that go through our company from one department to another. It allows me to create a picture of our current process vs. our future state and to simplify breaking down the technicality of a circle and streamline it for simple non-tech savvy stakeholders or end users
