So easy to build out a sophisticated drawing
What do you like best about the product?
So straightforward to link and group. Fairly responsive and can import Visio diagrams.
What do you dislike about the product?
That would be awfully picky and nothing springs to mind.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Network and Process diagrams.
Lucid chart is a wonderful tool, especially if you are a MAC user!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that you can search for items including google and just drag in pictures, if needed! I love that you can upload existing visio or omnigraffle designs! I have been using this for work for the past few months. I liked it so much during my trial that I just went and bought the professional subscription for one year. I even posted to my company that we should get this for all our Engineers and SAs. As a MAC user I had to open up visio in my Windows VM which was about the only reason I used Windows anymore. I tried omnigraffle but just didn't like it, too hard to use, cumbersome. Lucid chart is so easy, I already have another two coworkers converted. over to the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, nothing! I will say that this is cloud based, and as with anything cloud based you cannot work offline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a Solutions Architect and have been using Lucidchart to draft network diagrams for clients. So much quicker and easier to use than visio! It saves me time, easy to upload existing Cisco stencils, and it has AWS and Azure stencils, as well as most general stencils (including Cisco) already built in.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do the trial and chose for yourself.
Great tool to build and communicate process and project assets
What do you like best about the product?
The copy and past of blocks between Online Documents themselves and with Desktop Documents, I also love the ability to add User files (e.g. JPEG, PNG, ...) to the diagrams
What do you dislike about the product?
The limited options and tools for free Subscribers. It would also be great if access is given for Free for Non For Profit Organisations (something like Podio model)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Create Clear and engaging Processes
Create Business Assets and Training Material for my company
I have not used the collaboration function with my team members as they don't feel confident enough to use the tool

Best flowcharting tool I have used (compared to Visio and Micrografix)
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to use. Symbols are easy to find.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't share flowcharts with non-Lucid users. I would like to share with them as view only, rather than always having to save as a PDF.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Understanding processes, systems and people to identify process improvement opportunities, control gaps, etc.
Love Lucidchart for Complex Health Care Algorithms!
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, range of features and ability to download is several different forms.
What do you dislike about the product?
Minor annoyance is sometimes the program will freeze up or move really slow. Restarting the browser usually works.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm in healthcare marketing - we use Lucidchart to make the complex treatment decision algorithms that doctors like so much more user friendly for our nursing staff on the units.
Adaptable and portable for good price
What do you like best about the product?
It has many settings and shapes, most of the similar services don't have this many features even a simple thing such as subscript character. Also importing from Visio is a great feature and making the transition from Visio to Lucidchart seamless.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I was not able to put a shape exactly where I wanted. It works on a grid where the smallest cell is set, so I cannot pinpoint the exact location.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am creating shapes for academic papers. I tend to work on different computers. Being able to access and edit my files any computer is great.
Solid visio alternative
What do you like best about the product?
Light weight, faster to use than Visio for creating diagrams
What do you dislike about the product?
Visio imported files aren't always as editable as I'd like
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Documenting process flows
Excellent visualization tool for methodolgy tracking
What do you like best about the product?
Consistent visualization tool for tracking methods and processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Hard to integrate with others without lucidchart access
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to illustrate to others processes and work through concepts without going through endless iterations on paper
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great tool to track thought process. Recommend trying at least
Two papers published/ accepted using Lucidchart flowchart as main figures.
What do you like best about the product?
I used Lucidchart for two of my scientific papers, and they are either published or accepted for publishing. It is very convenient, drag and drop and using arrows, you can get any flowchart you want.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am just wondering if you can get more colors for filling to any objects as default? Yesterday I was using it for a flowchart. I find it only has several default colors thus not very convenient for me and I need to look into a color scale and self-chose the colors manually. I will appreciate if you can set more default colors and thus will be much easier for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am working on flowcharts to describe my workflow in my papers. And they are very easy to use and to download, making workflows so much easier to make.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Pretty good experience for academic users. I am an academic user, and used this tool for two papers published as main figures! My group members are also using it after I recommend this tool to them. And my supervisor is pleased with this tool.
