What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, I came from a major competitor, and I was very used to the local storage using paid stencils; I'm not able to find anything I dislike about Lucidchart.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly documentation, but also we use it heavily for presentations, diagramming, Database Designs.
I did Database course and for the ER diagram used Lucid Chart. Everything was simple to use.
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity. I loved how it was really easy to find everything here. Was able to finish all my ER diagrams really fast using Lucidchart.
What do you dislike about the product?
The limitation of using objects. I was hoping students would get the access to use more objects for free.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There might be other functionality regarding business. But for ER Diagrams this website is the best.

Herding Cats
What do you like best about the product?
- Other people’s cursor locations are visible, this was a surprise nice touch
- Allowing lines to snap to random edge locations, is sometimes helpful
- Having a legend created on startup and it’s easy to edit
- Using the Tab key to cycle through ERD box rows
- Reaching out to customers for additional feedback

What do you dislike about the product?
- When relocating interconnected blocks the connecting arrows should snap to the side of the box closest to its connected neighbor. Instead, arrows stay fixed to the side of the box the user originally connected to
- Routing for angular connecting lines is too finicky. I spend half my time shepherding the lines back into place after the slightest of changes.
- Snapping connecting lines to established nodes is also a bit difficult. Frequently lines will favor connecting to the edge of a block even though the cursor is directly over the connecting node.
- Rows inside a box should support a fill color. At best, we can only change the color of the text but this does not always give the best emphasis. Attempting to change the fill color of a row results in the entire box being filled with that color.
- Lines that leave a box and return to another part of the same box should automatically group to the box so when the box is moved then all aspects of the line follow the box. Currently, the user needs to manually group these lines to the box, then if the user wants to later modify the values displayed in the box or the lines, then they have to double-click into the group, then click-cycle into the row they want to edit. This is just a tedious workaround. Oh sure there is a "reset-lines" option but you still have to right-click the lines and select that option, then if you're using overlapping lines to simplify the layout then you have to go back and manually reset the positions of these lines.
- The size of the line end markers is static, ugh
- Box rows
o Adding rows to an existing box, sometimes the new row inherits properties and other times doesn’t. It’s unclear what behavior the insert option is following
o Deleting rows is buggy, and often results in the wrong row being deleted.
o New rows are automatically populated with values that have to be removed or changed. It would be better to leave these new rows empty.
o Moving rows inside a box around feels clunky and poorly implemented

The diagramming tool is being used to make sense of the Microsoft Graph API's complexity. I am someone who values the power of visual representation. However, please understand there is a bit of frustration when dealing with the user interface that impedes my workflow.
