Love the it for collaboration and feedback
What do you like best about the product?
Lucid Charts is great for diagraming things like site maps, user flows, and site architecture. I love that it's easy to collaborate with co-workers and send to client and get comments.
What do you dislike about the product?
Have had some issues with bugginess, when they roll out new features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Saving time, and easily communicate ideas.
Great but expensive
What do you like best about the product?
I love how simple flow charts are to make in Lucidchart.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish they would reduce the cost of the advanced subscription.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lucidcart cuts down on the time needed to make a chart.
Useful tool for company flow charts.
What do you like best about the product?
This product is much easier to use for company workflow charts than Excel. We can design good organization charts on the fly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Moving or changing information can get bogged down. I have had to start over when connecting lines become tangled.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Lucidchart to document our company organization charts for auditors. The process lets me update the charts when changes are made. The charts are stored and archived by date, so I can access a chart for review.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This product is easy to use and learn. You can produce a good chart on your first try with the product.
Good Cloud Based Diagramming App
What do you like best about the product?
I like the built in diagramming features and shapes. It made it really easy to diagram intuitively without having to use learn a new set of icons. The drag and drop editing was really straight forward and easy to use as well, and the ability to share with other and edit simultaneously was a huge bonus. The direct integration with Google Drive was also a bonus as this is my cloud storage solution of choice.
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not like the limited functionality of the free version. As I started using the software more and more, I got less and less function over time. This could have been remedied by switching to a paid account, but I found another solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was diagramming workflow processes that had never been diagrammed before. We were able to use this tool to begin diagramming all of the steps in our processes with decision points, and their complexity, and then begin streamlining and eliminating steps.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great cloud diagramming tool. I prefer it to others like Vizio for this reason. Real time collaboration is a huge benefit especially when looking at processes that involve many people and/or departments. I also used the project in college for programming and database projects. In the end I ended up going permanently with Google Draw, since I'm a part of a G Suite company, and this software is included with our G Suite platform. I do miss the ease of use of Lucid Charts since it is designed specifically for diagramming / wire framing and not an open ended set of uses.
Lucidchart makes process mapping fun!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to create google slides for presentations. This feature allows me to show certain aspects of a process to a specific audience in full screen rather than the entire map.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't found a way to resize multiple shapes after adding or deleting a shape.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visually representing operations across our enterprise allow us to ensure regulatory compliance and improve efficiency and consistency.
Useful, timely tool
What do you like best about the product?
Quick and easy to form design thinking diagrams!
What do you dislike about the product?
The graphic appeal of this is less than ideal - best for users that do not know how to use other products like Adobe InDesign Suite.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This was used during my academic experience to map out design thinking and strategies for approaching challenges. No real benefits have been realized.
Fantastiv Alternative to Visio
What do you like best about the product?
Real time collaboration and simple shape libraries.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have no complaints or dislikes as of yet, nothing comes to mind.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Need to easily work on team projects in real time and as a small business I have a limited budget.
Solid Diagramming and Drawing App
What do you like best about the product?
Our firm has transitioned to the cloud, and continues to look for applications that can integrate with other cloud-based apps. We found LucidChart a few years ago, and have gradually shifted away from desktop apps to this product. It is a handy tool for production engineers that need a quick way to diagram a process or go beyond the crude drawing tools offered within documents apps.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are no big gaps for us. It is less full-featured that some more advanced drawing tools (Adobe Illustrator), however, it is sufficient for a large number of our users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The integration within the cloud and our ability to share / collaborate on drawings is a key value.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely worth a try, especially for those that are moving or thinking about moving to cloud-based product development.
Lucid Chart review
What do you like best about the product?
Various image assets. I also like that this syncs w/Google images and photos automatically upload.
What do you dislike about the product?
The basic interface is not appealing. If we could update the color scheme of the login screen or customize it that would be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating flow charts for escalations. I also enjoy the presentation view.
Sturdy product experience
What do you like best about the product?
1. Consistent UI
2. Uses the browser (esp. Chrome very well) - including offline use
3. Some of the best integration features including Google, Hipster etc
4. Very cool import feature allowing me to import symbols from other tools like Visio

What do you dislike about the product?
1. Did not work for over a month and so the occasional glitches tend to put us off.
But to their credit the customer response was fantastic and I am already quite impressed

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly design of architecture diagrams, operational models etc
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would urge you to make the switch without considering anything else. While this review is a little subjective like all reviews, as a long time user, I would advise you to consider using Lucidchart for its active role in the community, its customer focus and use of bleeding edge tools to bring about a great user experience.
