What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration
Switched to Lucid after using Visio for over 20 years.
What do you like best about the product?
Cloud-based and all that entails. Allows me to use Mac and PC and easily access diagrams regardless of client/browser. Still learning the tool but I think there are probably other good features. I also like the ability to mass update shapes and save shape templates.
What do you dislike about the product?
The sharing of diagrams is problematic as users believe they need to log- in and pay to view the diagram. This is highly problematic when sharing with larger client groups and stakeholders.
I also find the alignment (snap to grid, etc.) is not very good. Maybe my own unfamiliarity with the tool and have tried multiple settings, but still find it a bit "loose".

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was happy with Visio, except that it was PC-only and not cloud-based, so that is the primary benefit of Lucid chart. I also use Lucid spark for whiteboarding virtually while facilitating workshops.
A smooth transition to lucidspark from Miro

What do you dislike about the product?
The first time I have loggined in I had to accept license terms even though my company has already been provided full access to Lucidchart. It makes every user confused - personally I thought that my company hasn't purchased the license afterall.
Once I started to create the diagram I had to search through some options thorough - knowledge of similar programs such as drawio helped me to access the program, nevertheless for a new timer it is recommended to schedule a tutoring session.
Also I was unable to simply create an arch with piping - I found this feature after hours of usage.
When it comes to changing the size of a wall icon it is impossible to change it by typing down the size from keyboard access. The user has to drag the wall in order to make the desireable size. To me this kind of feature is unacceptable and time consuming.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was able to create a simple diagram for my project needs in order to explain the scope for novice people, which makes my job easier (no need to explain the scope for hours, just picturing it).

Worth the learning curve
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart makes visualizing complex business processes a breeze. There is a learning curve, but once I was comfortable with the tools at my disposal, I found it quite intuitive and easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found a few of the automated options difficult to adjust to, but I did learn that many of these could be disabled (like automatically snapping lines to shapes, for example)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lucidchart has made identifying opportunities in customer purchasing paths much easier. Our company has never thought about the customer experience in this way, and Lucidchart made the process easy, seamless, and good-looking too.

Its very easy to connect two boxes with lines, so much options in lines section

Not Bad Visio killer
What do you like best about the product?
It does diagrams online where it can easily be shared with the team. Replaces Visio diagrams and other general tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of options for Data Modelling diagrams. Bachman notation. No place for column or table level descriptions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dont need to purchase data modelling software. Can share data model across teams without extra costs.
All in one platform for your visualisation needs
What do you like best about the product?
I liked the notaions that we can give between connecting lines mostly। The second thing which impressed me most is the different types of nodes, the accessibility to the features। I drawn a 3 month project flow in just 2 days, and believe me, my company appreciated my work
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't go too much deeper in the features, but one thing that i would like you to improve is that, in tables you can features where we can simply put details।
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's solving the business problems at larger scale where process flow is required। I am and data scientist, and i have to draw script flow charts, that were made too easy by lucidspark।
It is a good collaboration tool and helpful for brain storming activities
What do you like best about the product?
To be able to create cohorts easily, ability to like the cards, timer are very useful features for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not sure where I can check the new features, an emailing or new features section would be helpful
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
So far Lucidspark is used mainly for brainstorming activities during workshops, as a voting tool for prioritization or to determine weighting of criteria for a tool selection process, and as a tool for us to add comments during spring retrospective activities.
