Simple and Quick Diagrams and Mockups
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart is very easy to use and makes it simple to quickly create detailed charts, wireframes, and mockups. They offer multiple ways to export whatever I create which makes it easier to send to other departments and employees in my organization. Sharing among other users is also very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't found anything I dislike. Creating is simple and there are multiple options for exporting what you create as well. No downside!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lucidchart makes it easier to communicate with different departments. Whether it is creating a process flow diagram to better visually represent workflows, or creating mockups and wireframes using their UI elements, Lucidchart helps create the visual aspects to communication that make it easier.
Useful for teams, far better than file shares.
What do you like best about the product?
We can collaboratively work with teams to build out diagrams, even in real time. This is helpful for training new network engineers on how we approach diagraming. We have the ability to organize and store our diagrams according to functional work areas. We also utilize the Google Drive backups to help us with maintaining diagrams in secured repositories.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is very little to dislike. I would like to see multi-factor authentication implemented.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've had no issues. The biggest benefit is how easily our teams collaborate on diagrams in realtime.
User Friendly Experience
What do you like best about the product?
I have enjoyed getting more familiar with this program. It doesn't take a lot of time to learn the basics. Quickly I can create and share professional looking charts and diagrams. It has great collaborative features as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's awesome that arrows are so accessible through the little dots on each image. Too often, I accidentally add arrows!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lucidchart has allowed us to make really helpful and easy to follow flowcharts that allow our team to be on the same page for tricky protocols.
Wonderful Product
What do you like best about the product?
It's flexible, intuitive and very useful for communicating complex architectures and ideas. The online tutorials/videos are also a wonderful resource.
Furthermore, I really love how easy it is to export and share your ideas with others: you can save PDFs, PNGs, create shareable links and more.
I'm sure there are other features that I would love, but I am learning on an 'as-needed' basis... :)

What do you dislike about the product?
It would be useful if we could have a larger UML library. I would also love to see (in the future) some prompts and or syntax validation for some of the various schemes (e.g. UML). Think of a "spell or grammar" checker for the diagrams -- wouldn't that be amazing!?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Documentation of software architectures (of varying levels of detail), flow charts, lower level DBs dependencies and so forth.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Never hurts to give it a try! You can use the free version, give it a test drive and impress your co-workers with what you have done.
Organized but not so fluid, nor intuitive
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to export diagrams.
I like how I can organize the folders.
I saw an improve when exporting the diagrams to PDF, a couple of months the diagram didn't fit right away.

What do you dislike about the product?
That the are not many forms, shapes that I can use I know I can export them, but I prefer a library already set.
Improve your UX/UI, I'm pretty familiarizing myself with the tool, but I would like a better structure for the menu and dashboards.
Sometimes I find it hard to drag and drop the shapes, the click slips, the shape gets loose.
I don't know how WordPress stuff can help me.
Sometimes the share feature doesn't work, my users have trouble accessing even though I've already shared the folder or diagram.
I'd like to shorten the URL that I share.
Sometimes the tool doesn't find the user I want to share the folder or diagram, I have to type their email account.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our development workflow before coding the solution.
Managing projects.
Overview of our projects.
We do wireframes to show to our clients so they can approve our development.
We got rid of using Workbench for the Databases.
The interns within our company are able to apply their skills regarding project management.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
To implement lucidchart as part of their process, that will help to get out the most of the tool.
Buy 1 license, and share that license with the team.

Awesome way to do Workflow
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Lucid is that you can adapt each story to fit into the Lucid process
What do you dislike about the product?
A downside which really isn't a downside is that some managers have no clue what it is and what it can be used for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are looking to create and demonstrate workflow management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
One thing that I have suggested while interviewing there and with meeting with managers is getting the word out there about Lucid's capability. I don't know if managers really are aware of what Lucid does.
Great tool
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is very intuitive and the tool very easy to use
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much - perhaps the inability to colour the swim-lane itself
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simply the ability to create easy to understand flow-charts and diagrams, allowing me to more easily explain processes to others
One Stop Shop
What do you like best about the product?
I can everything from creating a product roadmap to process flow & tracking the project.
What do you dislike about the product?
Responsiveness/ Slowness is experienced sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use primarily for Roadmapping & process flowS.
Very helpful visualization
What do you like best about the product?
All of the creature comforts you expect when making diagrams, charts, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
The "shape library" can be a bit confusing and overwhelming. To be fair I haven't sat down to learn it, but it isn't as intuitive as the rest of the platform
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working remotely, my team would be dead in the water without whiteboards. LucidChart allows us to doodle, model, and update our diagrams accordingly and share them wherever we need.
Convenient and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart makes creating flow charts easier than other tools I've used in the past. It's also nice to make them pretty! :)
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes dragging is a little wonky, but manageable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my office, we are using Lucidchart to create documentation on existing processes that have never been documented. It's helping us with creating tools for new hires down the line.
