Great cloud based diagramming tool with good collaboration but missing some basic capabilities
What do you like best about the product?
It is relatively easy to use, and has great performance for a fully cloud based software. It also makes easy to collaborate. When the diagrams that need to be developed can be done with the shapes available, it makes it pretty much a piece of cake to draw it. It also have a great visual appeal, with a good range of options to visually modify the look and feel of the drawings created.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some basic capabilities are missing - for example:
- there is no option to create a custom shape (the "custom shapes" we can add to custom libraries are only combination of existing shapes, not completely new shapes we can build). Let's say I want to create a new shape where I can add a title within a rectangle, and I want to add characteristics as indented child rectangles. I can't have a shape for that - instead I have manually build one.
- there is no option to add points to an existing shape. The only option is to use the Flex Polygon, which makes you have to draw a whole new shape by dragging each point. Very painful to use.
Also - some other capabilities could make LucidChart even better, such as
- ability to create an inventory of shapes in the chart, extracting the attributes of shapes;
- ability to import files to create drawings based on instructions (e.g. create a UMLsequence diagram from a JSON file);
- add some kind of scripting/macro/automation
