What do you dislike about the product?
- Exporting files and then accessing them via other software messes up the flow diagram; it is a problem if you plan to send your file across to users of other software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Lucid chart to create work-related flow diagrams. Since it is an online solution, I can access it from anywhere worldwide and don't have to depend on my laptop.
Does everything I require
What do you like best about the product?
I have been able to use this system without needing any training at all, and there has been a real "pick up and play" feel to this. And I have still been able to achieve what I needed for the company.
What do you dislike about the product?
As yet I have not come across anything that I feel could have been done better. But from what I have used so far, these would only be minor changes from I could imagine anyway.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is an inexpensive way for us to be able to produce high-quality flow and process charts and diagrams that we are able to use both internally and with customer-facing aspects that we can be proud of.
This was the perfect software to create Org Charts
What do you like best about the product?
The software was very user-friendly for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
When exporting to different software, it didn't come over correctly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating an org chart in other software is very time-consuming and challenging. With Lucidchart it helped align and size everything without having to put a lot of effort or time into it.
Long time free tier user, now an Enterprise user
What do you like best about the product?
I stumbled on Lucidchart many years ago when I was trying to create a quick visio diagram on a new machine that didn't have Visio installed. Instead of going through a lengthy software request and installation process. I decided to give Lucidchart a try. The signup process for a free-tier was straightforward, and I was creating diagram within minutes after signed up. I felt no need for Visio anymore, and I've been using Lucidchart ever since. I like the interface is very intuitive. The diagrams are modern and slick. It has a plethora of templates to get you started on anything you want to do. The diagrams assets are saved in the cloud and readily accessible from anywhere. The compatibility and accessibility are on top of my list in term of a product's usability and Lucidchart really nailed it.
I am not a poweruser, I create diagrams on occasion and Lucid free-tier offered everything that I need. I really didn't think it would get any better for me until I got the enterprise access and it brought the product to another level.
For one, it has even more templates and the templates provided easy tutorials for you to upload your own data. The second big quality of life change is the collaboration and integrations layer. Working and sharing diagrams with other parties couldn't be easier and it really was a joy to work with.
If you are looking to do 1 off diagram on occassion, the free-tier should be enough. If you need to collaborate with others, then I would suggest so with the paid tier.

What do you dislike about the product?
While the GUI was intuitive for the most part, occasionally, I found myself digging around trying to enable/disable specific controls. For example, when I was working on an Org chart diagram, I couldn't drag the individual shape to a location that I wanted. It might be the limitation of the Org-chart widget but I'm not sure.
There are still some minor bugs here and there. For example, if you have portrait image links in your org chart widget, it displays fine in edit mode. However, when you try to publish or export the diagram, it won't export the images.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A picture is worth a thousand words. I used mostly to communicate a concept with my team.
Great platform to easily build beautiful diagrams and charts
What do you like best about the product?
The graphics are very nice looking and the platform is easy to use, making anyone capable of looking like a great designer with no training
What do you dislike about the product?
The sharing of files and knowing what's in your library can be challenging. Also, the way objects and layers need to be selected/de-selected is not intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating visually pleasing Gantt charts and process flows for business presentations. The benefits have been how well our creations have been received by our customers.
Great All-Around Collaborative Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like the breadth of professional looking and easy-to-use templates available. This is what drew me to lucidspark initially. A colleague at another company uses this and when we had to collaborate, I couldn't believe I wasn't using it!
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how tedious and difficult it is to move around each canvas. It is not intuitive to use the minimap function at the bottom of the screen. I keep trying to use arrows or click-and-drag and get frustrated that they don't work. Having to use the minimap is incredibly frustrating when working on larger canvases or when sharing my screen in a meeting and inevitably having to zoom in. Others in meetings have also commented how awkward the movement seems. I also dislike only having such a short trial period - I thiknk the trial period should be longer and there should be better options for pricing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With lucidspark, I've facilitated the visioning and brainstorming for our team's strategic goals. I then used several different templates to map the strategies and to show the allocation of specific resources. It works great to have several different, very useable pieces on the same platform. I have also used the flowchart with colleagues at different companies to map process for which we're all integrated at different places.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at the quantity and quality of templates available. Also, making flowcharts is incredibly quick and easy. Give it a try, even if only for a single project or piece of a project.
Easy Diagramming
What do you like best about the product?
Templates for different categories are really helpful
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes time to copy and paste the pictures from internet
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Create Architectural Diagrams
A very interactive diagramming tool
What do you like best about the product?
LucidChart is so dynamic and flexible as a diagramming software. I can make small adjustments without half the page being ruined (looking at you, Visio)
What do you dislike about the product?
While I know the subscription model is probably profitable, I would always prefer a one-time payment to have the software for life.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lucis chart helped me tremendously with hierarchy charting of our 100+ person business and visualizing programming logic of some of the programs we create.
Excellent Diagramming
What do you like best about the product?
Lucid chart is easy to use and I was able to get started with no training. There is a minimal learning curve.
What do you dislike about the product?
The limited availability of shapes. It'd be helpful to have a wider array available.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving the problems of unorganized strategy and project priorities. It's helpful to see them in a flow chart or map.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Yes, I would recommend Lucidchart.
