Miro but quicker
What do you like best about the product?
The best way of describing what I like best is what Lucidcharts has over other similar software. I like how easy the snapping controls are, the preset flowchart elements, and reusable 'shapes in use.' This tool is perfect for quickly creating user flows (which is what I use it for) as it allows users like myself to do one bit of our job much quicker than other similar software.
What do you dislike about the product?
The graph creation UI feels similar to Microsoft Word, although depending on your userbase, that could be a good or bad thing?
It feels dated, only on the Interface design; the experience is brilliant.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a Product Designer, I use tools like this to map our software, quickly demonstrate to key stakeholders functionality etc. The massive benefit using software like this is how rapidly you can create and explain a solution to relevant people, even more so than wireframing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for a rapid tool to create charts and user diagrams, Lucidchart is top tier.
Lucidspark for brainstorms
What do you like best about the product?
I like the built-in brainstorming capabilities. I use it with my team to plan a new feature or when we do "retrospect" to our versions. I also like to export my work and show it in presentations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Importing data from CSV is slow. Also, I want to import JSON files and format them into one sticky note instead of having a sticky note for each "CELL" in the CSV.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Brainstorming - design for a new feature
Retrospect - lesson learned, keep everything organized for next version
Presentation - present our plan to higher management and get feedback

A much needed tool for Development
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of building and modifying diagrams.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not found anything I can say I dislike so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Diagramming software architecture and tasks
Very user friendly
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to use and they offer a lot of resources to new timers (e.g. templates, 101s, etc.). Plus, they are very responsive on their forum.
What do you dislike about the product?
As of now, I have not come across any features I don't like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am creating decision trees that will then be programmed onto our systems. It is easy to build using the premade shapes and format.
Great for Org Chart/Team Diagramming, Easy to use Product
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart has a gamut of templates that are very easy to use and adapt to your own needs. I like how customizable the charts are; for instance, when creating an org chart, you can add a name, title, and photo, with more categories possible and omitting ones that you don't find necessary.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much I dislike about the product- however, it would be helpful to know what is part of the free product and what is part of the paid/licensed product, in terms of templates available/features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem I solved with Lucidchart was displaying a visually appealing, easy-to-read organization chart. The organization is not flat and has many layers to it. With other software, it was impossible/challenging to create a chart by dragging shapes and lines without the diagram moving cohesively.
Diagramming n00b
What do you like best about the product?
Very straightforward. Easy to use navigation and customizations. Measurement tools when drag and dropping to make sure everything was aligned.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes when adding arrows from one box to another, the arrows wouldn't line up to the circles in the middle of each box.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Needed to create workflow charts. Lucidchart made it quick, easy and straight forward for a diagramming n00b like myself.
Highly recommended.
What do you like best about the product?
The software interface is clean, functional, easy to use, and even fun. It gets out of the user's way so you can be creative and informative in your diagrams. I especially like the collaboration tools, which you can use to easily share to other team members, via email link, etc. If you can use Visio or Omnigraffle this software is very intuitive to learn, as the tools are similar. Highly recommended!
What do you dislike about the product?
Have no complaints so far. Do I wish it was a free service? They have a free plan which allows limited use and try out before buying a subscription, so even that I cannot complain about.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The diagramming tools allow me to share high level financial plans and flow charts regarding money flows with our CEO, who greatly appreciates seeing these ideas in graphic form. I strongly believe that our goals will be easier to delineate, review and achieve when they are moved from the abstract to clear representation.
Effective charting
What do you like best about the product?
Like the concept of sharing the documents.
What do you dislike about the product?
Did not come across any till now. Maybe some templates for Oracle package documentation
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am documenting existing process. This will give a reference for any developers.
good
What do you like best about the product?
it is easy to draft and create diffrent types of charts
What do you dislike about the product?
in charts it is not possible to create people in the middle of two reports (i.e. the executive assistant of a CEO) or levels (i.e. a Manager might have coordinators and analyst reporting them directly, these are direct reports but it should be able to put them at different levelts in the org chart
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
org charts
Very Adaptive
What do you like best about the product?
I like how the templates help make my work very fast and that it allows for content creation even with templates. You can rework and create your ideas with the templates. It is so convenient. I absolutely love it. Also, there are a lot more shapes and flexibility with the tool... it's just so lucid
What do you dislike about the product?
The colors are not enough, but I am learning I can create my own colors. That's absolutely fabulous, but more work I could avoid. Other than that, I see nothing to take away.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am working on a project right now, and I use lucid to create all of the diagrams necessary for my task. The major benefit I have realized is pitching my ideas with awesome diagrams... it's like showing my project supervisors my ideas just the way it appears in my mind
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's absolutely fabulous. Use it
