Seamless Presentations with Lucid's Robust Features
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate how Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite offers an intuitive and user-friendly interface for creating presentations and diagrams. The transition to using Lucid was straightforward because its GUI-based platform didn't require complex setups—everything was conveniently available in browser mode. I later downloaded the application for a complete experience. I find it particularly valuable that the suite provides online cloud availability, which ensures I can work from anywhere without the dependency on separate licensed tools like Microsoft Visio. This convenience reflects well on Lucid’s core offerings, such as its basic flow diagrams and the ability to craft network diagrams and architectures efficiently. The tools available simplify constructing organizational structure charts and proper view charts, making them incredibly easy and helpful to use for my work purposes. Additionally, the fact that it saves me time by automatically generating necessary diagrams after inputting data allows me to focus more on the 'actual stuff' rather than getting caught up in diagram creation. Furthermore, I'm impressed by the availability of many features on the basic license, essentially offering more upfront without the need for a separate license.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that not all features are available under a single license, which means having to purchase different licenses for different features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite to create presentations and diagrams effortlessly, replacing the need for tools like Microsoft Visio. It saves me time by auto-generating necessary diagrams, enhancing my productivity with its online accessibility and ease of use.

Versatile, But Complex Than Competitors
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how the Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite enhances our communication with nontechnical team members through its diagrammatic capabilities. It's valuable for explaining complex technical concepts, timelines, and structures effortlessly to those unfamiliar with the technical side, which is indispensable for our team. The platform's versatility in offering a variety of interchangeable tools suits the dynamic needs of our fintech company, where we constantly navigate rules and legislation. The level of capability it provides is notable; despite not excelling in specific areas compared to other tools, it performs well across the board and is cost-effective. It supports my team effectively, especially when working with a large group of 50 or more, which is crucial for our current requirements. I find that using it for creating technical logic and roadmaps alongside compliance reviews consistently works well for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the initial setup of the Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite slightly harder compared to its competitors, which could be smoother for newcomers. Although it remains manageable, the setup could be more streamlined in line with other tools. Additionally, while I appreciate its capabilities, I feel there are better tools available for specific use cases, such as Excel Draw for simplicity and Draw.io for being open source. Moreover, I wish the software had better integration with technical aspects, such as hooking into a codebase to understand differences between code versions and help create technical insights. This improvement in technical support would enhance its utility significantly.
