It is a great tool to do diagramming, super user friendly! And also can be convert to other format!
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart is a brand new tool to me, a professor from the college of businees introduced me. I use this for data management for decision-makers class. It is straightforward to use, even for someone who doesn't have any business backgroud. I use this to draw ERD; it is an excellent tool to edit the entities and relationships, and when you need to re-arrange the location of your entities, or you need to move the relationship, the other relationships move with it at the same time. Thus, it won't hurt the rest of your diagram.
What's more, I like how you can invite your team member to the lucid chat, and they can edit at the same time. Or you can send invitations to people just review but not edit.
Meanwhile, It saves every step you do immediately so that you won't lose any of your work. I like to draw a draft first; then, I use the template that Lucidchart has to make my diagram looks prettier and more professional. After I finish my work, I can export it into whatever format I like.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only con is there is no difference if other team members make changes to the diagram. If lucid chat can give each user a different color when they make changes, that will be great. Just like the team member's name on the right upper part, they have a different color for their name initial. Then we can quickly tell who made the change and who hasn't commented. Thus there should be a button to delete the color by pressing it to submit our final version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using the lucid chart for ERD editing, which has been beneficial for this product. It is productive and saves lots of time. And hopefully it can help us get a good score.
Intuitive chart creation for process flow
What do you like best about the product?
I found it very easy to pick up and use Lucid chart without any formal instructions or tutorials. Drop-in a shape, and connect away. I particularly like the hover-over text that tells the shape's general use-case/function.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is occasionally hard to get a process diagram to fit onto one page. I have had to shrink my diagrams down for printing. This hasn't been a huge issue, but having the ability to size all shapes down a notch would be an excellent addition to the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are creating a brand new process. I have found that the Lucidchart software is very versatile for revisions. I quickly re-vised the chart when the team combined a couple of process steps. I have enjoyed using the software.
Extremely pleased with Lucidchart!!!
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart has made my work life a million times easier. It is incredibly straightforward to use and has had a positive impact on the amount of work I can get done in a day.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'll be honest; I haven't found anything in Lucidchart that I dislike. Everything is easy to use, and it provides all the templates I need, as well as valuable training on how to use those templates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lucidchart has helped out tremendously with tracking the growth cycle of my company's plants. Lucidchart allows everyone in my company to understand what is going on daily.
Easy to use for all our charting needs
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to use with just a browser to create org charts & process flows
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing at this point. Most of my uses are fairly simple.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Documenting our business process & organization structure
Easy & Simple Flow Charts for All
What do you like best about the product?
Very simple and easy to use. It's not hard to jump in and start flow charting. If you have some experience with other tools, this is a piece of cake to learn.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that it's only on the web, and it's hard to find the chart elements you really want to use sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Showing the flow of leads through systems & programs. Helps with marketing program design and to visualize all of the steps. Also super helpful in sharing that information with stakeholders.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For the price, it's hard to beat.
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.
Diagramming looks fun
What do you like best about the product?
Very intuitive. Also, the collaborative way of working is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Don't have really anything to point out as a downside.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Lucidchart working collaboratively in design and planning business flows are a lot easier.
A good competitor to Visio
What do you like best about the product?
The massive amount of templates available: decreases time-to-delivery for new charts. As a developer, it's a lot like never having to deal w/ boilerplate code again.
What do you dislike about the product?
The amount of templates available can be thought of similar to low-code/no-code platforms, where your satisfaction is proportionate to how much of your use case is satisfied by out-of-box templates. To that end, using LucidChart for complex, non-templated diagramming is a bit tough.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Diagramming of biz processes; diagramming of software data and logic flow. We're saving time through using the aforementioned templates. It's also easy to pick up, so we save on onboarding time.
Product Manager
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy using Lucidchart to wireframe product design, features, and prototyping. I also use Lucidchart to illustrate data structure and server-side infrastructure.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Lucidchart could provide me with a better onboarding experience where I would have a more thorough guidance on setting up everything on my account and getting started.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a product manager, I mainly use Lucidchart to wireframe product design that reflects my vision and strategy for the feature. Lucidchart is a great intermediary tool that I use to wireframe my idea as part of the product requirement document that I submit for designers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend using Lucidchart's learning center better learn about all the tools available before getting started.
Lucid Chart is the first tool I think of.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of creating a diagram. My company had a lunch and learn focusing on lucid chart . It was fantastic to see all the AWS elements built-in since our company focuses on AWS. I like the ability to link documents to one another and creating a story or a hierarchical diagram that can walk us through a workflow, for example. its not complicated to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
getting lost around elements making sure you select the right element can be challenging if they are layered but not deal-breaker.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping me design a tech stack map showing all our integrations with our CRM. it will also help illustrate our workflows
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out; it hits a lot of marks, and should make your life easier to communicate complicated work flows
