Great software, very easy to use with plenty of features
What do you like best about the product?
I find it quite intuitive and easy to use. I was able to create complex architectural diagrams without having to do any training - just some quick google searches and clicking through the menus.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, the arrows can be a little finicky, and I find the text formatting to be a little unwieldy at times as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed to create complex architectural diagrams that were easy to understand at an executive level but also with enough detail to work from these diagrams to execute our strategy.
Modern alternative to Visio
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to easily share access to charts created and to collaborate on the same chart/diagram. It's mostly easy to use and intuitive to create diagrams.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are way too many options for types of objects. I don't really miss the days of UML but there should be some standardization for technical architecture diagrams based on common practices.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly use it for technical architecture diagrams
Creating sales strategies during brainstorming and planning sessions.
What do you like best about the product?
One of the most useful features is the real-time collaboration, which allows us to work together on mind maps, sales strategies, and brainstorming sessions with ease. The infinite canvas is perfect for organizing ideas and visualizing sales pipelines, giving us the flexibility to expand as needed. Additionally, the template library saves time by providing a foundation for common sales tasks like SWOT analysis and customer profiling. The integration with Salesforce and Slack streamlines our workflow, ensuring that information is easily accessible and updates are seamlessly synced. Also, Lucidspark's voting and commenting features facilitate effective communication among team members, allowing us to prioritize tasks and make collective decisions quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile app experience is limited, making it challenging to work on-the-go with the same functionality as the desktop version. Also, learning the app's functions took me three weeks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our sales team members actively use it to create and update our individual pipelines and for collaborative planning sessions. The ease of sharing boards with external stakeholders, such as clients or partners, has improved our communication and transparency.
A brainstorming tool for meetings both internally and externally
What do you like best about the product?
One of the best features of Lucidspark is that it can be customized to your needs and tastes. You can change text, lines, shapes, icons and even choose your own color palette! Charts are easy to make in LucidSpark; just export a report that gives you insight into who reports to whom in your organization. Even more interesting features include combining shapes from external sources or document sections, as well as creating enhanced designs using pre-made layouts available on the market. The platform also features Excel spreadsheets that can be linked with other documents on the platform, making it easier for users to access accurate data across all documents.
What do you dislike about the product?
The dashboard must be zoomed in and out frequently, and the customization options are limited in Lucidspark. However, I currently only use the free plan, which may have fewer features than the premium version. It is also sometimes problematic to link arrows to nodes. For now, these are my main concerns as I learn more about the program.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lucidspark helps us get the most out of our online meetings by enabling us to brainstorm more effectively. With Lucidspark, we can easily create and share ideas in a way that is truly engaging.
Representing complex financial processes with charts.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the customizable flowcharts and diagrams that allow us to represent complex financial processes and workflows visually. The real-time collaboration feature has significantly enhanced communication among our finance team, ensuring everyone is up-to-date with the latest changes. The platform's extensive template library has saved us countless hours by providing a starting point for creating financial models, forecasts, and budgeting scenarios. The data linking feature, which enables seamless integration with spreadsheets and other data sources, has greatly simplified our financial analysis and reporting process.
What do you dislike about the product?
However, there are a few areas where Lucidchart could be improved. The user interface can be overwhelming for first-time users, especially when searching for specific features or tools. A more streamlined interface or an improved onboarding process would be beneficial. Additionally, the availability of more advanced financial diagramming options, such as native support for Gantt charts and better integration with popular financial software, would make Lucidchart even more powerful for finance professionals.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Lucidchart to create visual representations of financial data, making it easier for everyone to understand the complex relationships between financial metrics. By enabling real-time collaboration, Lucidchart has also facilitated faster decision-making, as our team can easily discuss and refine diagrams together.
Lucidchart: diagramming made easy, for everyone
What do you like best about the product?
Usability, tools, intuitive interface, easy learning curve, real-time collaboration, revision and document sharing options, supported formats, import and export formats, no need to install or deploy for big organizations. Data encryption. Way better than VISIO.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the more advanced options are not that easily to get into. Data linking and SQL import and export can be better implemented. The free version can be limited for some use case scenarios.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We work with and share lots of diagrams and charts, mockups, project maps, etc. Lucidchart makes it all easy, allowing real-time cooperative work and document sharing and review.
Also, the multiuser license mode, where you can "lease" licenses to users that are only temporarily working on charts, makes an impact on the IT budget.

It does the trick
What do you like best about the product?
I was able to figure out how to use it without extensive training quickly. It is relatively user-friendly and creates a professional-looking org chart. I am sure there are many more features that I could have taken advantage of if I wanted to invest more time.
What do you dislike about the product?
It was annoying trying to add dotted line positions. I couldn't figure out how to move a box over so that it created a more balanced-looking org chart. I wasn't able to figure out how to load the staff names by position so that the org chart would automatically build itself; it seemed like an option. I don't think it's a good value for the cost. I plan to cancel since I was charged despite extending my trial period to see if it was worth it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted a professional-looking org chart that showed how two sub-organizations would exist under a single umbrella company. It was required for a business plan that had to be submitted to a parent organization.
Excellent Package
What do you like best about the product?
The variety of the templates on offer across business planning and strategy.
What do you dislike about the product?
The price - a cheaper package would be nice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Clear representation of strategy plans means that they are more professional.
