Great Collaboration for Cross-Functional Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart is a great tool for a few things: building quick wireframes, concept sharing, and design critiques. The advantage of Lucidchart is that it allow everyone in your company to view the work you've produced whereas applications like Illustrator or Sketch requires your coworkers to purchase a license, and they don't have any online sharing capabilities. I've had project managers, VPs, developers, and designers chime in on design sessions to hear various feedbacks. They can also review the contents separately on their own time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Like Illustrator, Lucidchart is a heavy tool. Lucidchart isn't native. It's built to be accessible through the web so it's convenient and available on any device so long as you are comfortable with your viewing/working device. Because of this dependence on the web, Lucidchart requires your computer to continually process on RAM (I believe). It takes a toll and slows down your development. Use it wisely. Don't dive too far into detail with this tool. One other thing is that it takes a while to load your file. I've had moments where it took hours to load something and continuously fail to project anything. That's why I'm sometimes frustrated at the application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Like I mentioned above, it saves time and money because only a few license is necessary to enable collaboration & execution of design work. The sharing ability allows cross-functional teams to effectively communicate feedbacks & solutions with one another and a good rate of time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a pretty useful tool for charts, workflows, quick ideas and sharing but do not use it to create Hi-Fi wireframes. It will not be worth your time.

Easy to Use Process Mapping Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of use. Making flow charts is very simple
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish you could break a chart into two separate images for more easy insertion into a Word doc
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Process mapping is a huge deficiency where I'm at.

It's much easier to use than Visio and much more intuitive

What do you dislike about the product?
Have some minor issues when multiple persons are working on the same canvas
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I mainly use Lucid to draw software architecture, UML diagram and project/product roadmap
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have used both draw.io and Lucidchart. My company use draw.io because it's free and drawing diagram is not essential for our business process. If my colleague and I need to work on a diagram/flowchart together, I'll use draw.io. However, whenever I have chance, I will use Lucidchart (for example, when I need to do a sharing section presentation, I use Lucidchart to draw technical diagram).
I have the feeling that it takes far less click and steps to draw the same diagram using Lucidchart than draw.io. Lucidchart is easier to change existed diagram and the diagram it make is prettier.

Makes journey mapping fast & easy
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you're quickly able to access different shapes that represent the different actions. It's also very smart in that the decision processes automatically branch off into 'yes' and 'no's.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it was easier to copy and past sections.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps visualize email journeys and website processes.
Lucid Chart Review
What do you like best about the product?
Lucid chart is a simple way to create stunning charts, graphs, and workflows. Additionally, I use it to create presentations, posters, and flyers. It is simple to use, can be saved in a variety of formats, and is easy to make customizations.
What do you dislike about the product?
The free version only allows you to use so many icons and images in your work. Since I already have other software that does similar tasks, I personally would not have purchased the full product (however my employer provides unlimited access).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I mainly use the program to create quick graphics. If I want more control over the poster, workflow, or whatever item I am creating, I use other programs. However, this program is incredibly easy to use and saves a lot of time. Mainly, I encourage staff without Adobe Creative Suite skills to use this.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Buy the full version if you expect to use this program frequently.
Great charting software!
What do you like best about the product?
The different templates that you can start with.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of customization in each chart that you create.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Per use them for presentations.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

LucidChart, Great for quick visuals and collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
LucidChart is a great tool for the basic diagram needs. It has an easy to use interface and simple sharing and collaboration options. It's especially helpful when you need to get visual concepts across in an iterative manner where you don't need to rely on everyone having the right software to view and edit ... and let's not even talk about issues with version control.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is one of those tools that I use for specific cases, so there isn't much I dislike; I know where it fits for me and that's when I use it. There are basic things like granular control of positioning that could be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This helps when there are complex concepts or processes that I need to describe through visual language. Collaboration is also a very helpful feature.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For now I would say understand what you need to tool to do and make sure it's feature set aligns with those needs. I also wouldn't worry about 100% alignment; for me if it does 85% of what I need, that's usually good enough to pull the trigger.
