Simplifies Visual Collaboration with Ease
What do you like best about the product?
I use Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite to break down and map ideas visually for meetings, and it reduces the time I spend building visual decks. I love how it allows easy maneuvering around the platform, like dragging 'sticky notes' without impacting the formatting. The ability to collaborate with others through built-in 'anonymous' sessions and timers is particularly useful. The initial setup was very easy, and I appreciate that it's simple to use, which I love.

You don't know what you don't know - it would be good to get some insights of your most useful features outlined per industry.

Effective for Education but Needs Refinement
What do you like best about the product?
I like the way it allows my students to collaborate on projects. And I also love the way it lets me check in on other teachers. I found some really useful mind maps on topics that I've been teaching. Seeing what other educators are doing, especially if they're making mind maps so interesting and so detailed yet accessible, has been really useful for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I feel like it's a little bit clunky, and when it messes up on my map or a graphic organizer, it really messes it up badly. I feel like the intuitive part of the AI, in terms of organizing the information in clear and logical ways, is not quite there yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite to create engaging visuals for my history classes, organizing complex content into mind maps and graphic organizers. It helps my students collaborate on projects and lets me see useful resources from other educators.
User-Friendly Design

It's extremely user-friendly. This is the kind of program you can use once or twice, set aside for months, and then return to without experiencing any difficulties as a returning user.
What do you dislike about the product?
I had some difficulties when layering different items and/or crossing items with arrows since sometimes the program will automatically link items.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This tool enabled us to map out a complex process, which made it easier to identify potential solutions related to timelines.

Innovative Visuals, But Steep Learning Curve
What do you like best about the product?
I like the visuals and the feature that it can be a living document. We can work on the same document as a team, and it’s not static, so we can always improve it as we go. Plus, it’s accessible to all employees and new hires. The initial setup was also very easy.

My review
What do you like best about the product?
You can use AI to generate diagrams pretty easily
What do you dislike about the product?
You are limited to a certain number of things on a blank canvas before you need to pay to upgrade. It’s generous for a free trial but as a student i cant afford to upgrade
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I dont have to hand draw diagrams, instead i can use the software. It is a bit overwhelming to try to use it myself as there are a lot of options but the AI is easy
Collaborative design has improved feature planning but still needs a dark mode option
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The best features Lucidchart offers include real-time collaboration.
What stands out to me about the real-time collaboration in Lucidchart is the fact that multiple people can be in there at the same time.
Lucidchart has positively impacted our organization by improving our collaboration across the company.
Collaboration has improved in our organization, as decisions are made faster and there are fewer miscommunications with specific outcomes we've noticed.
What needs improvement?
I wish Lucidchart would add dark mode to improve the user experience.
For how long have I used the solution?
We've been using Lucidchart for about two years for collaboration amongst the team for future development. All of us are in there at the same time working out how the feature should work or how the flow should look, and then we'll write tasks.
What other advice do I have?
My advice for others looking into using Lucidchart is to collaborate. I would rate this product a 7.
