Lucidspark: Joining Method to Madness
What do you like best about the product?
I'm a whiteboard kind-o-guy. The unlimited whiteboard space let's me visualize my thoughts and build upon them without borders... and the markers always have ink!
What do you dislike about the product?
Unable to set default sizes for post-its. I'd love to set default sizes for notes or shapes for the current project. I'm either constantly copy/pasting and deleting the text or resizing shapes to match the others within the project...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing thoughts and visualizing what's in my head. Most recently, I organized employee-level strategic plan development work sessions, then used the same project to record the activities and organize their feedback.
Funny, I showed it to my collegue and she said, "I'm glad you finally found something to give a method to your madness in your head."

Very Useful Flowchart Diagramming Tool
What do you like best about the product?
LucidChart is a very useful too for diagramming flowcharts. It has lots of useful diagramming functionality, and produces very visually intuitive and aesthetically pleasing charts. It also has lots of templates that allow the user to import ready made, easy to use, structured diagrams to accomplish their goals. The templates have been one of the more useful things, not only because they tend to be similar to what I want to display, but also because sometimes they help me structure how I am thinking about a process and provide a framework for me to better understand the process.
What do you dislike about the product?
LucidChart does not have a lot of functionality that is easy to customize. For example, being able to create Gantt charts would be great, but because of the way LucidChart sets things up it is very hard to produce that same functionality. I often find myself using manual workarounds such as hiding text boxes behind other boxes to produce the chart or diagram that I am envisioning in my mind. The product would be much better if it allowed me to customize more of these things myself and build them exactly how I want to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The initial purpose of using Lucidchart was to build diagrams and flowcharts that were intuitive and easy to follow. It allows us to collaborate across different teams to share different processes and flows that are relevant to our entire business. It also allows us to embed those charts in decks and slides that we can then share more widely.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you use LucidChart, highly recommend you spend some time getting familiar with the different templates and how to use the software.
Very good diagram creating software, but overpriced!
What do you like best about the product?
For any beginner, lucidchart is very helpful as they have many nice templates available for different process/flowchart, and it is straightforward to use.
I also like the feature that it is possible to integrate with MS Teams and share the diagram with teammates to collaborate.
Users can import/export the diagram with data in csv format. This feature makes it very easy to build large diagrams with many tasks in much lesser time.
This is available on cloud and applicable for windows and iOS both.
There are a range of other features which are useful like offline mode, creating slides from the diagrams, able to manage status of each design etc.

Sometimes editing an entire object can be a bit difficult.

Lucidchart We can create a more organized structure.

our experience has been satisfactory, without problems, but at first it was a bit overwhelming to have so many tools and functions that we did not know how to implement. As time went by, now if we can take advantage of all those virtues that the platform provides us. If they improve a little this could guarantee from the beginning a better performance to the user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

LucidChart was great... until it wasn't
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of drawing charts, ability to share those documents across the team and collaborative editing. It's great to have a document open and simultaneously edit with your teammates.
What do you dislike about the product?
The movement of objects and the drawing of arrows is awkward and error prone. When trying to move an object, you nearly always inadvertently draw an unintended arrow. Arrow manipulation is also sub-par in its ability.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Diagramming process flows and org charts. The biggest benefit is the mutual development with others, but several changes LucidChart has made recently is mitigating any benefits we've received thus far and increasing the likelihood we'll move off this platform as soon as we can.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have a look at what they've taken out of the product recently. They are making dramatic shifts AWAY from ease-of-use and increased functionality. They also shift minor functionality into their higher-end Enterprise licenses that are not really enterprise in nature, but intended solely to extract higher money from customers. They are extremely confused about the meaning of the word "teams" because they'll tell you that you can put things in a "Team Folder", but you really can't, because you can only have "Team Folders" in Enterprise version. What they really mean is that you can put things in a folder and invite your team to that folder, which is quite a bit different.
They recently have removed several capabilities from even their professional license (e.g. removing toolbars, forcing users to hunt through menus to find what they need). Overall, their product managers are making questionable decisions that are impacting overall User Experience (UX). Then, when customers complain, their support team uses the excuse that it was to "better align to their roadmap", which is a lousy answer in general. They can't actually justify a user-based reason for the changes, and that means they're not focused on the users in general. Making changes that reduce user benefit without being able to explain it to the users is a red flag to new customers. Heed that warning carefully.
