Visual planning has improved migration mapping but now needs broader cloud icon support
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Lucidchart these days is for working on a plan where I am migrating from my current version of our software to the latest version. I need to compile everything that is interacting with my application, so I have to bring up all my skills to factor in every application, every call that is done using our application to ensure when we move to the new OS and software, nothing is broken, and everything is in place.
How has it helped my organization?
Lucidchart has positively impacted my organization, as we have been using it for a while. The same people are comfortable using the tool, which makes planning process flows easier than trying to work in a Word document or a similar tool that does not offer as much as Lucidchart.
A specific example of how Lucidchart made a process easier for my team is that the diagrams we created could be exported as PDF or SVG files, which we shared without losing any quality. The collaboration with the rest of the team, where we have access to only what we are supposed to, also helped us work faster rather than everyone starting from scratch.
What is most valuable?
In my opinion, the best features Lucidchart offers include the toolkits they provide, such as the icons for AWS. These features allow us to use proper service icons rather than simple plain boxes for everything, helping us effectively map out the actual services instead of getting confused.
The AWS icons and toolkits make my diagramming process easier and more effective because it is easy to explain and show to my customers which service is being used for a particular component. For instance, when using Amazon S3 for object storage or Amazon RDS for SQL, I can clearly indicate those services. If I need to show containers, I can pick those specific icons to demonstrate that, making it easier than reading it within a box.
Lucidchart also offers other specific UML diagrams that I could use, including class diagrams, before I get into the code-level details.
What needs improvement?
One way Lucidchart can be improved is by adding more toolkits like the AWS charts. Icons would be something we could look for because it is not just AWS; other cloud providers are also using the same.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Lucidchart for over five years now, and in my role, I play a solution architect role where I have to think about the different architecture flow before I go ahead and start recommending it to my team.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I find Lucidchart stable when I am using it.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Regarding Lucidchart's scalability, I believe many within our enterprise are using it.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I did not really use a different solution before Lucidchart.
What was our ROI?
In terms of return on investment with Lucidchart, I would say I have saved time. Instead of spending a couple of hours drawing a process flow in a Word document, I can use Lucidchart to do it in minutes.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing Lucidchart, I evaluated PlantUML, which I used in the past, but it only focused on UML diagrams at the time when I used it.
What other advice do I have?
My advice to others looking into using Lucidchart is to explore all the options available and not fixate on drawing flowcharts using Lucidchart. I would rate this product a 6.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Private Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
