So far I am quite happy with Lucid Chart
What do you like best about the product?
Lucid chart allows me to get the thoughts out of my head in an easy way so that I can show others what I am trying to achieve. It has helped me be able to visualize our processes in my new role.
What do you dislike about the product?
It sometimes is hard to move things around in Lucid chart without it getting all mixed up - however I am new to lucid chart and so I might still just be learning how to do things properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping me be able to show that processes we are currently doing in the company and most importantly at a glance we are able to see what gaps there are. I am using it to brain storm ideas with the team on the gaps in our processes
Organized creativity with benefits other programs do not have
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciated the features that were added that other similar programs lack. I particularly enjoy the swim lane feature. This was something that the other software I was using didn't have. I made it easy to create a clear breakdown of processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like it if a feature allowed me to create a presentation from my work. I want to be able to have the ability to have a zoomed-in version of what I made and then be able to seamlessly present the process I am showing without having to scroll through the page. I would also like it if the new area that was created wasn't so big. I would like it to fit where I put further information or a toggle feature that could do one or the other.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Lucidchart to diagram company-wide processes of documentation and the stage gates (with checklists) of what needs to be done before the process can officially move to the next step.
Excelent Tool to draw any type of diagram!
What do you like best about the product?
What I like the most about LucidChart is the flexibility on types of diagrams you can do on just one platform. The easiness of navigation and diagram construction are indeed strong postive points from the tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly can't find many negative points on the tool. Maybe sometimes is difficult to convert the file intro a proper pdf format when wanting to download but it is not much of a problem. Page division one messed up and it took me time to properly set up the download.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an Engineer I usually have to draw a lot of process diagramas (PFDs) and architecture diagrams for networks. LucidChart is a proper tool to draw this diagrams smoothly and with high quality results to show to my audience.
Excellent tool for process mapping
What do you like best about the product?
I like how the user interface is so easy to use and identifies every component needed to build a process or workflow. I also love the fact that the service is cloud-based. Accessible anywhere. Finally, it is great to have all the export options.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not experienced using the platform enough to have noticed something I disliked about Lucidspark.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I recently had to create a new offboarding process for my company. This was a great tool to document the process and clearly identify stakeholders and stages needed.
Lucid chart
What do you like best about the product?
The pre-built flowcharts and shapes; easiness to use; flexibility of editing and downloading
What do you dislike about the product?
there could be a bit learning curve when using comments and text insert
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
to visualize complicated workflows of a new P2P system
One of the tech toys I can't do my job without.
What do you like best about the product?
I've used a few different diagramming programs but always come back to LucidChart. I love its easy-to-use interface: the accessible icon bar, easy text-fitting into icons, consistency of formatting/remembered formatting of icons and text, etc. You'd be surprised how uncommon these features are in other systems. When I need a beautiful (not just logical) workflow tool, LucidChart it is.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only downside is that you can only use a certain number of icons/items in a free test account, so if you're using a sandbox account to determine how robust the graphics or flow can be, it's a bit limiting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In our sales automation platform (to remain nameless), if you have to make a change to one part of the work flow/sequence, you have to delete that part and EVERY part that comes after it, so it's absolutely imperative that we get a detailed workflow approved by all team members before we start building. LucidChart has nearly every type of workflow component that we need to mock up full customer-journey automations outside our automation platform. That way, we can build ONLY after it's fully reviewed and approved. We could even implement a hard rule that we make no changes once launched for a full month.
Great software, very easy to use with plenty of features
What do you like best about the product?
I find it quite intuitive and easy to use. I was able to create complex architectural diagrams without having to do any training - just some quick google searches and clicking through the menus.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, the arrows can be a little finicky, and I find the text formatting to be a little unwieldy at times as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed to create complex architectural diagrams that were easy to understand at an executive level but also with enough detail to work from these diagrams to execute our strategy.
Exactly what i needed
What do you like best about the product?
Very simple to draw your ideas. No need for pre-knowledge, and it looks fantastic in the end.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing. Really!! It worked better than expected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was trying to share a design I made with some clients.
Collaboration made simple
What do you like best about the product?
Its so easy to create a visually pleasing diagram/flowchart/etc during meetings. Using sticky notes allows for all users to contribute easily to a workshop without much prior teaching.
What do you dislike about the product?
The application is so flexible to create a large board to capture many items. It would be extremely useful to allow users to follow BPMN symbols to capture processes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allowing collaboration from all parts of the business to define a new to-be process for the business to operate on. Using visio was difficult to distribute and Lucid allows all info to be kept online
Modern alternative to Visio
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to easily share access to charts created and to collaborate on the same chart/diagram. It's mostly easy to use and intuitive to create diagrams.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are way too many options for types of objects. I don't really miss the days of UML but there should be some standardization for technical architecture diagrams based on common practices.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly use it for technical architecture diagrams
