A great tool for organizations
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use is great, and since it's web based, sharing ideas couldn't be easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
No real complaints, though I would like it to be a little bit easier to customize the look of a chart. I recall that being easier in previous iterations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mapping class layouts for software, mapping the flow of a program. We've been able to map out our embedded devices navigation, as well as create hypothetical flows and analyze those, allowing us to improve our designs before ever starting to write code.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great tool. It's very useful for organizing thoughts, and the various shape libraries make it flexible enough to fulfill many different needs. Being a web based platform allows charts to be shared between members of the organization easily.
Easy to use, Users love it.
What do you like best about the product?
Easier to use, better features compared to Visio. Web based. No install needed. Cloud storage of documents created. Free access for single users, perfect for home/student use.
What do you dislike about the product?
No issues with the product. Haven't used support because its so easy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wider group of users are able to use it without having to install a program. Monthly cost vs large single time cost. SSO login. Integrated with Jira/Atlassian and Okta. Easy to include a Chart in a story or bug to illustrate and document.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the trial, you will get a good feeling for how easy it is.
Flexible and convenient network diagrams and data flows
What do you like best about the product?
LucidChart provides an incredibly convenient and intuitive interface for diagram development. If you have any experience with Visio or similar tools, you will be very comfortable with LucidChart. In fact, LucidChart will be easier and quicker to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have no significant complaints. The auto-save process took a little time to get accustomed to, but it has on more than one occasion saved me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This product has provided a quick path for solving customer problems, specifically in the area of data flow diagramming for business processes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take advantage of the free trial and import some existing Visio content.
Good Diagraming Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Full featured, good templates available, cloud based storage and sharing is easy
What do you dislike about the product?
Could use a bit more templates, however, "out of the box" there are quite a few supported and more are added over time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it to diagram workflows, ERD's and work through programming logic.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its a good tool, easy to use without a steep learning curve. I would recommend it for diagramming needs from simple to complex.
Easy to understand and use
What do you like best about the product?
I've tried using half a dozen other products to help me map my processes but nothing has been as simple, intuitive, or easy to learn as Lucidchart.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lucidchart is very simple and basic. It lacks aesthetic design which makes it less appealing to others whom i've shared my charts with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Work flow, process mapping, and procedural organization to minimize wasted time and effort.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a trial and see how easy and functional it is.
The most versatile and effective drawing software
What do you like best about the product?
I could draw ER diagrams, or research models, or process and variance models or pretty much anything easily on LucidChart.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is my most preferred software, nothing much to dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use lucidchart for two major reasons. First is for my research papers for which I draw my models. Second, is for my teaching where I make my students use lucidchart to draw database entity relationship diagrams and functional dependency diagrams.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
While the diagrams on lucidchart look good, they seamlessly print well in word and pdf documents as well.
The ease and accessibility is uncanny.
What do you like best about the product?
The upsides of using lucid chart are mainly how user-friendly it is and how easy it is to create useful diagrams of important things.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are not many, if any, downsides in my opinion. The learning curve maybe at first but it is not bad.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lucidchart has allowed me to have a better grasp of the tech stack we use by diagramming it out and visualizing How our technologies interact.
Easy, simple and impeccable
What do you like best about the product?
I like the way the workflows can be diagramed in an easy way so you can deliver your tasks really fast.

I had a service interuption about a year ago. Thank God I had no meeting with my clients.

If you have the mindset for processes, Lucidchart is the best tool to deliver value in no time.
Best Visual Design Application Ever
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, integrations, collaborative capabilities and most important the consistent update of tools available.
What do you dislike about the product?
Table design can be a bit iffy at times (not as intuitive as microsoft word). Also, should be easier to delete shared documents
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Use for visual modelling in teaching to allow for better illustration of theoretical frameworks specifically in the area of enterprise risk management. Also for ideation and problem solving on new technology innovation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just get it...best software out there
Useful for all industries I've worked in
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Lucidchart is the simplicity and the fact that they tell you what each of the flowchart shapes mean, which makes it easy for people like me who never had any formal training on creating flowcharts
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that the program had more standard web icons across industries for free use, but it's not a dealbreaker
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have worked for small and large companies, and each time I've used Lucidchart to ensure all stakeholders are on the same page for how processes work
