Easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
It's simple to use and easy to create charts and diagrams. Its collaborative feature is also one of the best reasons to use lucidchart.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's overly simplified for designers like myself, but it does do the job.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Translating stakeholder requirements into a logical flow so that we can find alignment amongst the team. The lucid chart will to help to identify gaps and opportunities.
Just the tool I needed
What do you like best about the product?
I was looking for a tool to make my own flowchart and didn't think it existed... Lucidchart is easy to use and perfect for making a customized flowchart that can expand and grow in any way you please.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that I find a little frustrating with lucidchart is that typing directly into the bubbles can be hard to format correctly. I typically will copy and paste from Google docs. Not the worst problem, but could be fixed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Lucid hart to build a talking track for sales calls. I found a doc was too linear and hard to navigate quickly on a call. Now I can easily move around my flowchart to find all the information I'm looking for.
Lucidchart review!
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to link external docs and websites from flows. Link sub flow to sub flow.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be challenging to align direction arrows to center of boxes, snap to fit and alignment
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Documenting existing process flows, enhancement projects, future state process flows, org charts
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely worth the try if using other tools. Super easy to use
There is a learning curve but once you get the hang of it, the possibilities are endless.
What do you like best about the product?
I love how user-friendly the platform is. I can drag and drop everything very easily. So much of the formatting is done automatically too which helps me save a lot of time.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I use Lucidchart, I almost always am using arrows. The arrows are such a great and important feature but I've grown very frustrated with them sometimes. They don't always listen to me and sometimes they pop up when I don't need them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm working on a project where I have to blueprint everything before actually entering them into Salesforce Marketing Cloud. We don't have all the data, so we can't mock these automations and journeys in Marketing Cloud, thus Lucidchart has been very helpful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take some time to learn the platform!

documentation
Recommendations to others considering the product:

Not enough features to map the process in detail. Sluggish.

Humphrey's review
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart helps my team visualize what's normally hard to communicate verbally or in words.The UI is pretty simple to use and there's not a steep learning curve.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the connectors don't bend / flex the way that I'd like them to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're diagraming code flow and architectural design. It's very easy to depict how a system will look like and what conditions / branches are in play. We're able to look at things from a higher level.
The only player left in the game
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart has a great selection of templates to get you started and a great selection of shapes as well as the ability to add your own shapes. It's much easier to use than the alternatives and it's built from the ground up to an easy-to-use collaborative too.
What do you dislike about the product?
More granular permissions would be great and the ability to get notifications when files you shared are reshared. The ability to directly export drawings into other tools would really add to the ease of use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's not just about creating diagrams and flows, it's about the ability to create a picture that tells the story when you aren't there to do so. LucidChart has allowed us to build detailed architectural diagrams and data flow diagrams of complex systems and make them available in an easy way that lets everyone participate.
Review
What do you like best about the product?
I like the visual it creates to explain a workflow, who does what and when etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Directing some of the arrows to link one item to another is confusing and a bit frustrating
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Again, the visual display clarifies the work for employees we're training. Being able to share among teammates is a plus, too.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'm not aware of similar products that can do as much.
