Great platform to easily build beautiful diagrams and charts
What do you like best about the product?
The graphics are very nice looking and the platform is easy to use, making anyone capable of looking like a great designer with no training
What do you dislike about the product?
The sharing of files and knowing what's in your library can be challenging. Also, the way objects and layers need to be selected/de-selected is not intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating visually pleasing Gantt charts and process flows for business presentations. The benefits have been how well our creations have been received by our customers.
Great All-Around Collaborative Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like the breadth of professional looking and easy-to-use templates available. This is what drew me to lucidspark initially. A colleague at another company uses this and when we had to collaborate, I couldn't believe I wasn't using it!
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how tedious and difficult it is to move around each canvas. It is not intuitive to use the minimap function at the bottom of the screen. I keep trying to use arrows or click-and-drag and get frustrated that they don't work. Having to use the minimap is incredibly frustrating when working on larger canvases or when sharing my screen in a meeting and inevitably having to zoom in. Others in meetings have also commented how awkward the movement seems. I also dislike only having such a short trial period - I thiknk the trial period should be longer and there should be better options for pricing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With lucidspark, I've facilitated the visioning and brainstorming for our team's strategic goals. I then used several different templates to map the strategies and to show the allocation of specific resources. It works great to have several different, very useable pieces on the same platform. I have also used the flowchart with colleagues at different companies to map process for which we're all integrated at different places.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at the quantity and quality of templates available. Also, making flowcharts is incredibly quick and easy. Give it a try, even if only for a single project or piece of a project.
Easy Diagramming
What do you like best about the product?
Templates for different categories are really helpful
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes time to copy and paste the pictures from internet
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Create Architectural Diagrams
A very interactive diagramming tool
What do you like best about the product?
LucidChart is so dynamic and flexible as a diagramming software. I can make small adjustments without half the page being ruined (looking at you, Visio)
What do you dislike about the product?
While I know the subscription model is probably profitable, I would always prefer a one-time payment to have the software for life.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lucis chart helped me tremendously with hierarchy charting of our 100+ person business and visualizing programming logic of some of the programs we create.
Excellent Diagramming
What do you like best about the product?
Lucid chart is easy to use and I was able to get started with no training. There is a minimal learning curve.
What do you dislike about the product?
The limited availability of shapes. It'd be helpful to have a wider array available.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving the problems of unorganized strategy and project priorities. It's helpful to see them in a flow chart or map.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Yes, I would recommend Lucidchart.
very user friendly and have good tools
What do you like best about the product?
I like the flow chart that lucid provides. Our company uses those to explain the business logic among the developers. Also, data linking is a nice feature, because our company uses multi-language feature, so for translations it's very useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
It will be great if loading time can be reduced. Sometimes it takes a longer time to load the document. Also history view and restoring history also a little bit hassle sometimes. It will be nice if we can have more user friendly history comparison.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using to lucid to expain the business logics for backend and front ends. We use flow charts for that where our product team creates the flow diagram to explain the business logics.

Learn the lucid shortcuts it will makes your life easier.
Lucidchart: simple, yet impactful
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the mapping that I am able to do on our day to day processes for each department, outlining each step is crucial in order to achieve the bigger picture.
What do you dislike about the product?
At the moment, there is nothing that I dislike so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The day to day redundancies that can be eliminated to maximize efficiency within our organization, the goal is to streamline each department's processes.
Building workflows was never easier.
What do you like best about the product?
As a BA, my main usages are Basic Flowcharts and UI Mockups, and both are easy to use and the 'Layers' makes it easy to build something interactive.
What do you dislike about the product?
The workflow theme when applied gets applied across all work tabs, if it can be configured at each work tab/worksheet level that could help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visualization of workflows and helping developers understand process flows in a simple manner
Comprehensive, reasonably priced and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Comprehensive shapes and notations, easy and intuitive to use, helpful templates and a range of additional features such as org charts which are often lacking in equivalent applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
The functionality of swimlanes / pools is not as strong or flexible to use as other applications, and there is no ability to set certain groups of commonly used shapes to appear in each diagram. A minor point, but gateway and decision shapes do not contain their text, and instead appear beneath the shape, which often cuts off connector labels or the next shape.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being an online tool, Lucidchart removes the need for software installation and allows easy sharing of flows with stakeholders, in a range of formats, and in a clean and modern appearance.
The best diagramming tool in the space
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart has been my go-to for diagramming for a couple of years now. It's web-based, easy to use, and there's good integration with other tools like Confluence. It also makes it easy to collaborate with others.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are times that it will stop updating the view correctly in Firefox; it would be nice to see a bit better QA in other browsers. However, just reloading the page fixes it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've used Lucidchart extensively for architecture diagrams and process diagrams, and it's helped me easily communicate ideas with my coworkers. It has made it easier to quickly iterate on designs when working with others.
