Easy to Use Infographic Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart follows easy and clear logic, allowing for intuitive use and quick adoption. It's not the "prettiest" tool, which I actually appreciate because capabilities don't get lost behind UX 'magic'.
What do you dislike about the product?
You can spend a lot of time trying to format things to be aesthetically pleasing, so easier tooling to apply themes and designs would be nice to have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lucidchart helps us manage our org chart clearly and concisely. It's also a great, easy tool for us to use as we collaboratively map out customer journeys.
Easy to use and full featured
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to get started with Lucidchart, and make flow diagrams that are concise and readable. The functionality and template styles are very deep, allowing my team to use Lucidchart for workflows, process pipelines, and even brainstorming sessions.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's really hard to find something I don't like. My biggest issue with Lucidchart presentations isn't with the app at all - it's with users who don't know which kind of symbols to use, or who chose eye-watering color combinations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Lucidchart to diagram complex digital content creation and machine learning pipelines. It provides a single source of truth for our team to reference.
Robust tool for scheme-buildup, ideation and process visualization
What do you like best about the product?
I like Lucidchard for the variety of options and elements it offers: like block elements, dropdown menus, color schemes and templates. Also, I like available scheme templates thay can be easily transferred to something that we need at the moment. Very handy are lines that connect the elements: Lucidchart offers connection points and can help you make things to look symmetrical, which is also important in many instances.
What do you dislike about the product?
The limitations on the # of editable tabs (we use Education/University version), and limitations on the layout: sometimes we need to change the size of a working zone, and this affects al the elements of the diagram. Also, I could name poor integration with external graphics: sometimes importing the figs is not possible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a tool to build the process workflow diagrams, and Lucidchart was one of the most useful tools so far. It allows scheme buildup, modification and export - all at once. Plus, multiple people can collaborate, which is crucial in our case.
Great tool for database design and creating workflows.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and does all the basics you need. You can import SQL schemas and it's easy to share folders and charts, etc...
I haven't used many other tools like this, but seeing others work in things like Miro or Visio, I'm not sure it's unique. But it's what my employer has a subscription to, and I'm happy with it.

What do you dislike about the product?
Formatting can be a pain. When you import a schema all the boxes are crammed together, it would be nice if they defaulted to some sort of spacing between them because with large DBs it is labor intensive to make it coherent.
My biggest complaint is you can't add columns to an ERD element. I made an ERD for a proposed DB, then my boss requested adding the datatype to the table entities. Instead of just reformatting the elements to have a second column, I had to drag in all new table elements with the extra column and re-enter all the field information. You can easily add new rows to an element, so it would be nice if you could add a new column just as easily.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps with centralized documentation for projects. We make a folder for a project and keep all our ERDs, wireframes, flowcharts, etc... there which makes knowledge transfer much easier.
Best Diagramming Tool
What do you like best about the product?
The interactive and easy interface really made my work easier to perform. The import of files is also a breeze. It is easy to use across various Visual Collaboration Platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing big as of now. Page layout can be made better. Unpaid version can have more features. Lucidchart community is very small and is hard to find troubleshooting help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Lucidchart, multiple users can work together on the same document in real-time, making it easier to share and edit diagrams with team members. Lucidchart provides a visual representation of complex data and processes, making it easier for users to understand and communicate their ideas.
A great business tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love being able to easily have colleagues contribute to a chart and how easy it is to add/edit existing charts.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the arrows between flowcharts get tedious but overall not much I dislike!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a new company, we need to draw out a lot of processes on our end and Lucidchart makes it so easy
you name and all the digrams example and prototype are avaiaible in Lucid
What do you like best about the product?
very user-friendly and intuitive to use, even for someone who is new to UML diagrams.
One of the things I particularly liked about the Lucid was the variety of templates and examples available. There were plenty of pre-built templates to choose from, which saved me a lot of time and effort. I also appreciated the ability to customize the templates to fit my specific needs.

What do you dislike about the product?
When you export a file, sometimes the arrow for the diagram pointing is not in proper shape, or sometimes point to other direction.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
create UML digrams for the project
Must have tool for any business
What do you like best about the product?
The collaboration features. I find that sharing visual charts is much more successful than long documents full of words. Especially because I work with teams from around the globe who may not have English as a first language - pictures and diagrams build better understanding of ideas.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the ability to add links to the charts was a bit better. It's not able to pull preview images very well. Some of our charts get pretty large and complex and the ability to link to or highlight certain areas of the chart would be great. Perhaps a way to add links to video explainers of the charts too.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Improving communications across teams. Providing a space to visually diagram information for internal and client projects. Lucid is the go-to for our CEO when she's communicating ideas to the team/clients.
Great collaborating software for facilitating various discussions
What do you like best about the product?
ease of use, customizability, very intuitive. I enjoy the timer and sticky feature, and all of the colors
What do you dislike about the product?
sometimes I get lost in all of the various options. Also would be good to have some templates for common meetings such as retrospectives to make the meetings more fun
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
allows us to thrown down ideas on the board and facilitate discussion. timer is helpful to keep meetings on track
Lucid handles all the basics
What do you like best about the product?
Lucid does everything you need from a charting tool. Every simple feature you expect from UML to random clipart is supported.
I particularly love that you can import an entire DB schema from a query they propose.

What do you dislike about the product?
Advanced features are tricky to discover and learn about. It's not easy to discover all the powerful stuff you can really do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need lucidchart to generate technical documentation for end users of all types. Design reviews, for example.
We also use lucidspark for collaborative sessions - its a little behind the curve but I'm hoping it gets more intuitive soon!
