Digital whiteboard to simplify the collaboration.
What do you like best about the product?
I love collaborating on charts. It's to be reviewed usually by many individuals when developing operations therefore folks truly notice your procedure chart, comment on it as well as recommend changes, actually make adjustments within Lucidspark. It's additionally exciting that a lot of functionalities and integrations are currently offered to me but which I can preserve them.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd love to see whether community users are able to make suggestions about what they really want to find out on the guides based on the type of theirs of industry. I am aware of guides ought to be big so that they are able to be of wider use, but I also believe that individuals are able to make use of them a lot more for most Lucidspark's products in case you are able to filter by industry. It should not be very extensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The previous templates are fantastic for producing suggestions on how Lucidspark is further implemented into the different processes of ours, and also for our person education. It was a fantastic tool to explain procedures on the staff.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Plan the chart of yours in advance so that you do not have way too many changes to make. I find it requires a very long time in case I'm very distant from the process of mine and have significant changes to generate to rearrange the styles into the correct order.
Great organization tool with many uses!
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart is super intuitive and easy to learn. There are a ton of templates that give you an idea of where to start, but there's also a ton of flexibility to create as you see fit.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing isn't very flexible, and licenses have to be purchased in sets of 3 or 5. We also found ourselves having to merge two accounts and this was not possible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Lucidchart to visualize our organization's structure and processes. Lucidchart has great tools for visualizing hierarchies, and we use that feature a lot. Most of our other uses have to do with flow diagrams that detail our processes.
It's a Great Product
What do you like best about the product?
The upside is the ease of use and the ability to manipulate parameters flexibly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can be overwhelming to evaluate everything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lucidspark helps us understand what everyone is working on by placing all of our work on a common whiteboard.
Excellent as free starter tool for students and new business analysts
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart has a large bank of industry-standard diagram templates, many of them available in the free version. The interface is very easy to learn, and it is easy for me as a teacher and trainer to show students how to create specific diagrams. After a quick demonstration, they are able to continue working independently.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more than three diagrams supported in the free version, to allow potential users to explore the tool's capabilities before making a decision.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Teaching students and coaching my clients. Many of them only start learning about business or data analysis and are not ready to invest in an expensive diagramming tool yet.
Make easier the construction of my thesis architectures images
What do you like best about the product?
That I don't need to install anything on my computer, work even on the smartphone.
What do you dislike about the product?
The limit imposed on the student account.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Create architectures images and UML charts. It is easier than other tools.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a safe bet when creating images to use in any research field.
Great way to diagram out complex processes
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to work collaboratively on complex diagrams and use version control to track changes
What do you dislike about the product?
Trying to be like Mural might not be the best move for Lucidchart. I see the two softwares having different use cases
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving how to document processes that few in our company understood from end-to-end
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure that everyone on your team is interested in using the product. Some may prefer PowerPoint and will be unwilling to learn another new software
Great cloud based diagramming tool with good collaboration but missing some basic capabilities
What do you like best about the product?
It is relatively easy to use, and has great performance for a fully cloud based software. It also makes easy to collaborate. When the diagrams that need to be developed can be done with the shapes available, it makes it pretty much a piece of cake to draw it. It also have a great visual appeal, with a good range of options to visually modify the look and feel of the drawings created.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some basic capabilities are missing - for example:
- there is no option to create a custom shape (the "custom shapes" we can add to custom libraries are only combination of existing shapes, not completely new shapes we can build). Let's say I want to create a new shape where I can add a title within a rectangle, and I want to add characteristics as indented child rectangles. I can't have a shape for that - instead I have manually build one.
- there is no option to add points to an existing shape. The only option is to use the Flex Polygon, which makes you have to draw a whole new shape by dragging each point. Very painful to use.
Also - some other capabilities could make LucidChart even better, such as
- ability to create an inventory of shapes in the chart, extracting the attributes of shapes;
- ability to import files to create drawings based on instructions (e.g. create a UMLsequence diagram from a JSON file);
- add some kind of scripting/macro/automation

Brilliant Collaboration Tool

It's very user-friendly and enables effective teamwork. I also like the ability to use sticky notes and be able to modify them, unlike actual notes that need to be redone and therefore are wasted.

I don't have any real complaints so far. The only downside is trying to get the word out and convince others to use it as well.
