Critical collaboration software
What do you like best about the product?
LC creates a shared space to express ideas in a distributed team environment that can either immediately translate to business documentation or requirements to align teams across the company
What do you dislike about the product?
Not a lot - it's a tool I use in both my personal and professional life. If anything, I think the recent changes to the default shape color schema are a little off-putting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work on a distributed team across the world on highly complex issues that cross-cut many product lines. I need a way to communicate these ideas simply - I use Lucid chart for that
Picture worth a thousand word
What do you like best about the product?
Easy sharing with collaborators. Use for both high-level and low-level technical diagrams.
What do you dislike about the product?
honestly, pretty solid tool... no real complaints...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Technical Diagrams...
One of the most useful tools I use
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart is very flexible and great for communicating visually. The number of built-in icons and templates make it very easy to use. I switched from Viso years ago and have never looked back.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much to dislike about Lucidchart. If pressed I suppose I would have to say that it would be nice to have the ideation capabilities from Lucidspark (a sister product) built in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I do a lot of process mapping and analysis (like bowtie risk analysis). I also use it for creating workflows for our software development team. It helps improve communication and save time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I can't recommend it enough. Try it and you will see.
Great Charting Tool!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the Arrange features especially. Making things look pretty is key for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think it would be nice to have more standard shapes included.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We brainstorm architectural designs, data flow, as well as data schemas.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out.

The most important tool in my toolbox
What do you like best about the product?
I used Lucidchart for a wide variety of tasks – from planning the renovation of my basement to creating algorithm flow charts and mind-mapping. This tool is extremely versatile and I am sure it has more uses than what I discovered.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some minor UI glitches, but overall for the value I get from this tool it's easy to ignore any minor problems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A wide variety of problems. Primarily I use it for algorithm flow charts, mind-mapping, data structure planning, and work breakdown structures, but I also used it to create a floor plan for my basement.
Diagraming and flow chart standard for everyone!
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy how easy it is to adjust and tweak diagrams that you have created. When doing a whiteboarding session with others it is very easy to just draw some shapes initially to keep the conversation moving along, then as others are talking you can just grab the shapes and lines and tweak them to clean up what you have created. Making it sexy is easy!
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like it if the custom shapes that I choose to use would carry over across multiple Lucidchart projects, or if the groupings would be part of the standard set of shapes, I tend to group things together for clarity often and find myself repeating the same actions to find and choose those.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Large-scale solution designs. Data flow diagramming. Swimlane diagrams for showing how a solution will operate across multiple platforms or services.
Using Lucid has allowed me to showcase my designs to a broad audience and let me communicate effectively with many people who are not as technical as I am. Bridging the gap between tech and non-tech people is what Lucidchart excels at!

Recommendations to others considering the product:
For the cost, Lucidchart is far superior to others. There are some free applications that people say are similar, but none are as easy to use and as reliable as Lucid is.
I have even used Lucidchart to do some planning around the house when we were moving furniture around, they have some great floorplan diagrams for planning.

Love LucidChart
What do you like best about the product?
We are a consulting company and we create a lot of workflows, process maps and process architecture for our clients. We have tried lots of different tools and LucidChart is the only one that has met all of our requirements.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly there is no feature of LucidChart that I don't like. The commenting feature has been very valuable for our team since we often collaborate on our deliverables.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving process inefficiencies, documenting processes and workflows, and doing database architecture. Our clients love seeing the visual representation of their processes in LucidChart.
Great for Many Purposes
What do you like best about the product?
Lucid Chart is a great way to create consistent, clear diagrams and flowcharts that can be shared and edited by multiple users. Its interface is simple and familiar, but more robust than, say, trying to make a diagram directly in Google Slides or Docs. The import and export features make it simple to pull in data and export a clean deliverable.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd say the only downside of using Lucid Chart is that, when sharing documents (even just to view), your collaborators need to create an account. It would be great if there was a way to share documents in progress with only viewing permissions (so the document can remain live/be updated, but also publicly accessible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lucid Chart helps me when I need space to create a sprawling document - using the infinite canvas option, I can wireframe out an entire website on one sheet and take as many notes as I want in one place before organizing them or exporting them as deliverables.
Super Easy
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of how you can build workflow and move items around and have multiple worksheets
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to be able to view the workflows I build on an app for reference.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am building work flows for my entire business. The ease of being able to show others how a process works is priceless.
