Flexible and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
The drag-and-drop interface makes it easy to create and manipulate diagrams. The range of shape libraries provides good flexibility and allows for creating a variety of diagrams. It is easy to modify most of the diagram elements to customize a design.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sharing of documents is sometimes less than straightforward.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used Lucidchart for designing database schemas, diagramming workflows, sketching user interfaces, and creating general illustrations of geographic concepts. It is great to be able to do all of these things in one place and with a single, easy-to-use interface.
Easy and effective
What do you like best about the product?
I find Lucidchart easy to upload pictures to their existing database. Adding items, moving, editing and renaming all simple and offers everything we need to make diagrams.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have used the free version and the 5 chart limit is the only feature I don't like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are creating charts that service can use and customers understand. We have reduced mistakes on both ends.
Whatever you need mocking screens, documentation diagrams, you name it.. Simple and straightforward!
What do you like best about the product?
The wide range of examples to start from. It helps a lot to see how things looks like before even starting.
What do you dislike about the product?
The toolbar on top keeps opening when the mouse hovers on it. There's an arrow to pin the toolbar always open but I'd like to keep always closed and only open when I explicit want to use it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a software company we are always trying to communicate through diagrams our goals, how screens will look like, the architecture design and so on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try. Definitely worths the money and help you make money focusing on your own business.
Lucidchart is great!
What do you like best about the product?
I like that changes are propagated on all documents and wiki entries I make.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how slow it loads. I'd rather it show a generated image on my documents v.s. showing the actual document. That should make it faster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The original issue was due to us having outdated documentation graphs. This solves the issue since it propagates all changes to all documents.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a great product.
Easy alternative to Visio
What do you like best about the product?
Easier to use than Visio. No local software to install.
What do you dislike about the product?
Using the lines can be a bit odd. Sometimes, it is not easy to move items around that are already connected by lines.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Process flow mapping.
Decent Usage with issues regarding Google Drive
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that I can easily make charts for myself and others to edit.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've had a lot of issues with adding it to a team shared chrome drive. Anytime someone shares it within the drive I can never navigate to that particular document.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I haven't solved any business problem, but I have solved charts I needed to make for my classes.
Great substitute for Visio
What do you like best about the product?
I think the ease of use is LucidChart's best feature. I can create any process diagram or org chart in just minutes with templates and easy to use controls. The new presentation mode is a very interesting feature that I need to use more. I like the fact that the product consistently sees updates and improvements.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of customization and visual options. The limited design capabilities is difficult for someone who is specializes in graphic design. I get by in Lucidchart but there needs to be more formatting options and more options to customize process maps with pictures or other visual content. The photo uploader and cloud is also difficult, crashing sometimes and not uploading files.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In most cases, I use LucidChart to specifically design processes, before and after diagrams, and org charts. While most colleagues cannot show simple process diagrams, I can easily update or build a diagram that is both informative and tailored to the audience.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want a inexpensive option compared to Visio, this is an excellent program that is simple to use and easy to learn.
Flexible diagramming solution on any platform
What do you like best about the product?
Works in any browser on (almost) any computer. I work in a heterogeneous computing environment and I travel, a lot, so being able to access all of the diagrams on any computer is incredible valuable to me.
What do you dislike about the product?
A little clunky UI sometimes with lots of wasted space. If they could make better use of space it would be a tremendous benefit for those of us forced to use tablets, MS Surface, small form factor laptops.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used Lucidchart to clearly communicate the details of complex business problems. After meetings, it's easy for people to go away with different understandings of what was said. A single diagram of the discussed concepts makes the shared understanding of the group consistent and concrete.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You will leave behind some of the really intensely sophisticated features of products like Omnigraffle, but you'll find that speed and ease of use and deployment is worth it.
Great product!
What do you like best about the product?
I'm a graduate student and I've used Lucidchart for many class assignments. It's simple, elegant and intuitive to use, allowing me to easily create great looking flow chards and logic models. Highly recommended!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that it were easier to change the orientation of the flow (e.g. if I created a flowchart in landscape and want to switch it to portrait). Perhaps this functionality exists somewhere, but I find myself having to move a lot of things around to accomplish this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm learning about user experience design and research, and Lucidchart has given me the ability to better visualize the ways in which my user's experience will unfold.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for visualizing user experience processes.
Two Completly Different Types of Projects, One Application
What do you like best about the product?
I originally used this program to visualize databases for my programming needs and it worked great for that. But then finding out that you could use it for floor layouts, it became very handy when I was buying furniture for a room in the house and seeing how I could layout the rooms in multiple ways. I have only had it for a little bit but I'm sure Ill find other ways to the use this application for other problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
When using the ERD diagrams, I was hoping there would be another section for a navigation properties that I could visualy see better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
How to visualize Entity Related Databases. The amount of pre registered modules I could choose from.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at the different scenarios you could use this application for.
