Great Tool for Flowcharts & Process Maps
What do you like best about the product?
The extreme ease of use. It took us a while to get used to building the flowcharts, but we use it for all our departments. I love that my team can collaborate on documents and make changes - especially that we can make changes live on one system, and see the changes on another while looking at the same document.
What do you dislike about the product?
The things I dislike are probably things that there are solutions for, but I haven't yet discovered. I would like it if there was a way to show a grid, and limit items within that grid to my specifications. I know that the alignment is there, I just haven't figured out how best to use it to my advantage. I guess because it's so vast, the dislike is the learning curve to really master the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability for my team to create flowcharts, diagrams, processes, etc., and to share them with our clients. For my team, this involves network maps as well as long term business improvement maps.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take time to learn it before jumping in. Even just playing around and creating some test charts to learn how to use the different tools was a huge time saver for us when it came to implementation. Learning by DOING is really the most valuable method in an IT environment like ours.
Powerful and versatile online tool to make quality diagrams
What do you like best about the product?
The diagrams have personalization possibilities to make them visually attractive, it is very easy to use since its editor is quite comfortable, it integrates very well with google docs favoring teamwork, also from the application itself you can share documents and assign permissions to team members to modify or see the diagrams, you can make many types of diagrams, but if you do not have a specific diagram you can import your own shapes and do it in the application, the diagrams can be exported in the most used formats such as pdf , jpg, png, vsx or cvs; You can also import diagrams made with other applications such as visio, omnigraffle, gliffy and draw.io
What do you dislike about the product?
If you are using a free account you can only use a maximum of 60 objects per document and you can only have 3 documents stored, plus the revision history is only available as a premium feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it allows me to make diagrams of many types, mainly diagrams of entity relationship and diagrams uml without need of facilities or complicated records, since you can enter with your google account or with social networks like facebook or g +, also allows to share the work with my students and organize work teams for the diagrams of the software development methodologies that we use.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need to make many diagrams and that these have more than 60 objects it is convenient to subscribe at least to the basic plan since the price is relatively low.

Too many options for doing the same thing

Excellent useful application that includes tools for the realization of diagrams and templates.

Good application very useful good user experience Easy to learn. It includes good collaboration tools. It works with many other applications. It is based on the cloud, which makes it very useful and portable. and it is safe since the work already done will not be lost. It reduces the time of work and allows to edit templates totally according to the need. It is online which allows editing in real time. The graphic elements available for UML and mental maps in general are simply perfect for a software development environment. I like the templates available for flowcharts and flowcharts.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really do not dislike anything, it seems to be very useful software, which is also easy to use. The best part is that it was free. It gives the opportunity to keep the work very organized. Every day I have to talk to several clients and keep track of what they want, change the orders I already have, and so on, and I can do it in a few seconds thanks to my Lucid Chart software. The administration of loaded user images is slow and little useful, you need a better interface so that all the files work as personalized images. I do not like that most of the features are "premium".

Decrease working time provides information and guidance on how to make the various diagrams which is very useful for the organization of work.

I recommend that you use Lucidchart is a very useful application for making diagrams with predesigned templates that reduce working time.
Editable Only Here
What do you like best about the product?
Fluidity--I mean that's the main reason why many users like LucidChart. Drag, drop, link shapes easily with arrows, make adjustments. Bam. Chart made. Simple, easy, intuitive, practical.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only gripe is that there are no good export formats that make LucidChart creations editable with other programs, such as Adobe InDesign or Word
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We previously used SmartArt in Word/PowerPoint a ton, but the charts were bland. Now we can make nice looking charts without having to use software like Adobe Illustrator
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely give it a try!
Easy Workflows!
What do you like best about the product?
Intuitive interface, great starter templates, lots of flexibility
What do you dislike about the product?
It can take a while to get the hang of certain shortcuts, rearranging diagrams could be made easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Lucidchart to map out current processes. It helps my team find gaps in processes, as well as areas for improvement.
Great for Wireframing
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can generate my own diagrams and save them for future uses. Templates, such as the UI/UX ones, are great for putting together an idea quickly. Collaboration is smooth - I can easily share my document with a coworker and he or she can quickly add comments, make adjustments, or add items without needing me to touch it.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times, my wireframe may be larger than the canvas provided. I would then adjust the canvas to be larger. However, when I expand the canvas, my wireframe moves along with frame which results it spanning over two different canvases. When I try to adjust to be only part of one, Lucidchart will jump to the bottom of the canvas.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using Lucidchart to generate wireframes for different content needs for a website. This includes wireframing new pages on the site, PPC landing pages, email drip campaigns, new modules, and more. Every content strategist and marketing managers have access to the software using our business email which makes collaboration much quicker.
