Long time Visio user but companies are moving more to LC
What do you like best about the product?
I do like the templates and the actual visuals - they look and feel far more up to date than competitors
What do you dislike about the product?
Trying to make minor changes to position is *very* clunky. It would be nice to be able to use e.g. the arrow keys/shift arrow keys such as in Visio to do this - it gets *very* frustrating
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have to produce technical diagrams as part of my work so LC falls nicely into the set of tools I work with. I have used Visio for many years so I am comfortable with that but I do like the more updated look and feel of LC
Lucidchart for process/material flow tracking
What do you like best about the product?
Standard shapes, arrow diagrams, easy to move/pan around during presentations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Grouping/ungrouping is not the easiest, editing can be very difficult sometimes without ungrouping everything first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using it for material flow and process/quality tracking in smaller assembly lines (aerospace manufacturing)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy flow visualization tool, takes a little time to pick up because it's different from other common Microsoft Office tools like Visio/Powerpoint.
Great tool for marketing professionals
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart is a great way to communicate creative concepts to designers when you're definitely NOT a designer. I use it for wireframing and mapping out user flows all the time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because of its robust capabilities, the UI is a little cluttered. It's a complex tool, and I often find it difficult to get the full functionality out of it, because inevitably, there is still so much for me to learn with it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Lucid chart has enabled me to break down complex marketing plans into quick visual diagrams to easily translate how different concepts are connected. It's been great for working cross-functionally and communicating ideas visually, where less gets lost in translation. I'm able to execute on ideas faster, with less iteration.
Great for colaboration. features continue to evolve
What do you like best about the product?
Great for collaboration with team members. Great for documentation. it can convert other types of standards into Lucid. capable of role based authentication. covers most basic functionality needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest issue I find with this SaaS application is how slow it can be to download a document with heavy graphics or multiple pages. it is painfully slow to download a document.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
the problem lucidchart solves for my team is the collaboration gap usually created when a team member creates a document and is able to share it with other team members. it centralizes documentation and makes it easier to update it.
Pretty decent. Gets the job done.
What do you like best about the product?
Works great for creating the flows that we need for our company, to ensure everyone is on the same page. We primarily use lucid for flow mapping. Just wish it were a little bit more updated in look and feel.
What do you dislike about the product?
Just seems a little outdated in style, but it functions for everything we need. Also, the user administration piece of the tech seems pretty complicated and isn't easy to understand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cross department communication of company flows and procedures. Seems to work really well when we want to communicate what we're doing and why (flows) internally and with external organizations.
Comprehensive functions, could be easier to use
What do you like best about the product?
Good for entry-level product/designers and sharing functions is good. Even free users have access to very comprehensive functions.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is good number of choices in terms of shapes/flowcharts. However, as a junior product analyst, I do not know the real difference between them. Maybe add some tutorial?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I want to build a workflow for a consumer-faced App, and Lucidchard helped me well as I go through everything with devs and designers.
Lucid v Visio
What do you like best about the product?
The aesthetic appeal of the icons and the functional ease of use within Lucid give Lucid the edge.
What do you dislike about the product?
The import functionality from other products does not seem to reveal the exact details.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work on Network and Process high-level diagrams within the Technology Projects.
The benefits are weighted around a more visual output than Visio, which provides an easier visual understanding of the drawing.

Complete the tutorial when first using the product

Computer programmer new to formal diagramming with BPMN 2.0
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use! It provides a lot of templates to get started, integrates with other cloud-based systems like AWS and Azure, including shapes to represent each of the individual services, and has many shapes to represent both BPMN 2.0 processes and software processes. I like being able to collaborate in real-time with colleagues without having to use online meetings for screen share.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't an offline version to use when the internet is lagging. It would also be nice to have more software tool logos: it provides AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Cisco, Kubernetes, SalesForce vendor plus Android and iOS icons, but nothing for Github, Linux/Windows development environments or tools such as bash, Powershell, C#, etc. to show what tools are used for software solutions. There is a way to import shapes to custom libraries from images though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Documenting software processes both in production and proposed changes using conditional formatting makes it very easy to demonstrate the impact and scope to management.
great for collaborating!
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to share with teammates and inl I've time see edits everyone is making
What do you dislike about the product?
A little small the text and not much option to adjsut
