Great for brainstorming
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I can "see" my ideas with a colleague on line. It's like our virtual whiteboard
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that it's a bit hard to connect things. Lines sometimes appear where I don't want them!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lucid charts allows me to work virtually with a colleague
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to learn it. When I slow down to understand it, it works better for me.
My company uses Lucidchart to generate charts and create workflows/
What do you like best about the product?
What I like the most about Lucidchart is that I am able to show the process/steps for a job or task using a professional-looking flowchart.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think that sometimes Lucidchart is slow, and I think that it seriously detracts from the great aspects of the program. Lag in any system translates to user frustration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
What we realized was that simply listing steps is in no way as beneficial to most users as visualization!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to find a standard template that works for you or your company and stick to it!
Quick and beautiful charts.
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use of the interface, Quick and beautiful charts. Integration with google drive and google tools. Excellent mobile apps
What do you dislike about the product?
Limitations in the free version (limited number of files and shapes), and princing for unlimited
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Technical engineering diagrams
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very good tool for online diagram design and sharing. Might be worth the price if you company make and extensive use of diagrams. For my type of use, it has all the features required.
Solid Entry for Fast Diagramming and Flowcharts
What do you like best about the product?
This product is very simple to use; beginners are able to log in and create very clear and concise diagrams of even complex systems within minutes. It is simple to create a diagram, select from a very large variety of diagramming icon sets (enough to cater for nearly any type of diagram you need), have other users collaborate on the diagram if necessary, then export the result to a format that can be used externally.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are perhaps too many options for icon sets, some times it takes a long time to find the sets that you're looking for, perhaps some better meta data searching would vastly improve this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to write better system and data diagrams has helped our development team become more cohesive and enhanced our ability to fast track new members joining the team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Highly recommended, very fast return on investment, users get moving very quickly and are able to produce quality diagrams.
Bye Bye Visio
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidcharts is simple to use and is easy to ignore the less used features that are distracting in other process diagraming tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
The transition to Lucidcharts took a bit longer than I had anticipated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lower cost to entry for process flow tools.
A valid tool for charting
What do you like best about the product?
The templates are very useful to build up a complex chart in minutes
What do you dislike about the product?
If you switch to a free account (from a premium) you cannot even see the previous documents
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The chart have been very useful for the Software design process, and also they are great for documents that explain software architecture and flows.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I do not have much experience with other charting tools but Luchidchart was valid enough for me, I recommend it mostly for team usage.
Simple but efficient
What do you like best about the product?
I like that LucidChart is rather intuitive when it comes to building flowcharts. Items snap to the right angles, visually it provides very logical guidelines, and its just plain easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that the text options are somewhat limited. For example, there is no way for me to put a less than or equals sign that isn't "<=", which doesn't work for a professional chart going into a publication. I also wish there were more options for exporting, specifically eps format.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using this to build figures for a paper on hospital logistics that I will be submitting for review soon. Since I work with a wide array of professionals - physicians, engineers, computer scientists - LucidChart has been very handy as a web-based platform. No new programs to learn for everyone!
Great overall user experience. That's what really matters
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart provides our company an incredible and easy to use online user interface that allows us to manage, create and edit all of our technical diagrams. Within our company we did a comparison between multiple online and offline tools, Lucidchart topped our charts. For us, it offers best of both online and offline worlds: easy of use (shortcuts!), no individual installation/setup, centralised (user) management and compabitility with existing offline tools (MS Visio). In the end, what really matters is the overall experience that Lucidchart provides for everybody that is involved in our organisation: delivering an excellent user interface, basic and advanced chart-features, low cost of maintenance, ...
What do you dislike about the product?
The integration with some other (online) tools within our organisation could be improved. The Atlassian Confluence plugin does the job, however the installation and setup could be improved, as well as the feature set and quality of this integration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Above all we are trying to provide a solution to our employees that allows them to create diagrams more often. We are convinced that a tool that is easy to use, will result in the creation of more and better diagrams, which are incorporated within our Request For Proposals, Technical documentation, User manuals,...
Next to this, we are working on standardisation of the diagrams that we create within our organisation, building a set reusable stencils and diagrams. Lucidchart allows us to centralise all of our diagrams/stencils and in the end speed our internal processes and improve the quality documents we create.

I have used this to flowchart multiple processes in our business. It is quick and not clunky.
What do you like best about the product?
That I can quickly drop in pre-made shapes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes changing the curve of an arrow glitches and you have to close and reopen before you can change the curve of another arrow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this mainly to show understanding to those in development of the product but also those who are not in development of the product. So it is a great way to simplify the process so that anyone can understand what's happening.

Most of templates which are really useful Specially ER Diagrams, android templates, iOS templates
