Brilliant Tool for team brainstorming and remote collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to share ideas creatively, build thought flows on a collaborative canvas
What do you dislike about the product?
No iPad app, that makes it challenging when you want to sketch or write
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaborative brainstorming for our new startup, this app helped us plan better, we have used other simpler boards like Jamboard or the default board that comes with Zoom, but the outcome of the sprints was not achieved, this changed with Lucid Spark
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A great tool to get started for collaboration, use cases could be
+ Design sprints
+ Product planning

(you could get really creative)

A must have tool to express ideas whether technical or business related.
What do you like best about the product?
I mostly do technical diagrams like flow charts and ERDs. Lucidchart provides so many different diagrams and even in that so many templates to choose from.
Using Lucidchart also educates you in a way, where you get to understand which diagram is the best to use for the requirment in question.
Add to that the UX is slick. You don't have to spend hours to make that connector connect cleanly to that box!

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing.
That said, you can borrow an idea or two from websequencediagrams. They provide a pretty easy way to type and created sequence diagrams.

On a day to day basis, i do all my technical diagrams like data modelling and flow charting using lucidchart.
The ease of use and the ample templates is what attracts me the most.

In the beginning, there was chaos. Then, Lucidchart stepped into my life.
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart is stupid simple. Some power users would probably laugh at how simple my Lucidchart implementations are — 90% of the time it's "open up one of my templates with the 6 different colored shapes I use, then start typing stuff in those shapes and dragging arrows between them".
The charts end up looking great. I actually use LucidChart to make the charts when I'm filming videos teaching Zoho CRM concepts, because they're so visually appealing and simple.
Also — the cloud architecture is wonderful and as simple and easy to share and collaborate as Google Docs (which I consider the gold standard for simple cloud collaboration).
Also, they may hate me for this, but it's super cost-effective — we have a team of 5 CRM consultants and we use one personal $120/year Lucidchart license that we share between us 😅

What do you dislike about the product?
This may sound silly, but I sometimes wish I could toggle on a "Simple Version" that hides all the crazy complex settings and shapes and just gives me EXACTLY what I want. That's one thing I always liked about Adobe CS is that I could control the UX to only focus on the tools that I actually want.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A tool like Lucidchart is 100% mandatory for CRM consulting (we use Zoho, very similar to Salesforce or Hubspot). We map out a client's business processes on big long pretty Lucidcharts and then build the system based off the flowchart.
We've gone from having super long docs to pretty, simple-to-read visual flowcharts.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get a single beautiful template and use that sucker over and over and over and over.
Game-changing and versatile program that's easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
LucidChart is an innovative and instrumental tool to visually map out processes and communication flows, as well as collaborate virtually through idea boards. I love that it's easy to use and adaptable to so many purposes. Whether I'm mapping out complicated communication flows or collaborating with large groups, LucidChart has become my go-to tool. And every time introduce LucidChart to others, they're instantly interested in adapting the program for their projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
As I learn how to use LucidChart, I find some of the drawing tools to be a little clunky — but, on the whole, find most of the program very easy to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're currently using LucidChart for several projects including: designing new communication flows as part of our work onboarding a CRM; designing a parent communication strategy; mapping out a channel strategy and redesigning our approach to online learning web content.
Using LucidChart for our projects has enabled me to showcase project progress in a way that visually interesting and also easy to understand. I have several LucidChart documents I reference almost daily as it's become an key part of how I work.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend you give LucidChart a try, particularly if you're looking for a multi-functional tool to meet your organization's needs. As a communicator, I strongly encourage other communication leaders to consider using this tool for ideation and idea refinement, strategic design and mapping communication flows.
Easy to use, amazing features
What do you like best about the product?
I like the simplicity to create and modify documents, insert items, modify shapes & colors, connect arrows, add images, find any sort of free to use icons/logos etc...and a huge amount of templates that gives you ideas of what can be done.
It really allows you to exploit your creativity and create really cool documents!

It would be super cool if timelines would update automatically with a calendar! :-)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since we are not an high digitalize company we do a lot of stuff manually using whiteboards, paper notebooks, A3 charts etc...

- long term action plan (a sort fo GANT)
- med term activities ( we created a sort of Trello )
- sprint planning (time line + post its)
- organization design

One of the best tools out there for early stage companies
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart is highly flexible, robust and intuitive. I use it for a wide range of things from project planning, to mentoring.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some tasks are very repetitive. I'd like to be able to set more defaults which will save me time whenever I create a new document.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem I'm solving is planning workflows and projects. A secondary benefit is using the tool to explain concepts with visuals.
Simple, Neat and Easy to Use
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Lucidchart is that it's easy to use. The first timers can easily browse through its features without going through any tutorial videos and that has been my best experience. Having come from non-business background, I found it incredibly easy to look up the features and desired diagrams myself. Apart from that, Lucidchart has got amazing articles on the diagrams from where one can learn and grow!
What do you dislike about the product?
There should be more templates available for wireframe.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm an aspiring Business Analyst who is learning wireframing, UML and BPMN from Lucidchart. I find it incredibly easy to use. Besides that the diagrams look neat, tidy and readable.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend Lucidchart to everyone especially those who like me are exploring an easy effective tool to make wireframes and UML.
Simplicity itself
What do you like best about the product?
The package is simplicity itself whether you wish to create a business process or a simple concept map. There are hundreds of templates with almost every known symbol or icon. This gives the user complete control over the package. I have never worked with a package such as this giving you the user complete control almost as soon as you log in for the first time.
What do you dislike about the product?
As yet I cannot pinpoint anything that I dislike, maybe I just have not found it yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I started to use Lucid chart when I was in business. I moved away from Visio as I found it far too complicated for what I needed. I was working for Shell Exploration and Production in many places around the world. I would create Business Process documentation for the various Operating companies around the world. My library was large and every Opco would have something just a little different from the last. With Lucid Chart I was able to update or create new documents almost at the drop of the hat, fast and simple. Now I am in Education as a teacher and I provide my students with concept maps for English Language Learning, whether it be for Speaking, Listening, Reading or Writing.
Director of Enterprise Projects
What do you like best about the product?
Easiest product I have used in a long time. The drag and drop feature and ability to import previous charts and graphs makes it easier to "steal" from past projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Need a better way to "filter" charts and graphs I use most. I want the most commonly used items available at my fingertips.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visualization helps tells a story for a process.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would say, try it. It's reasonably priced and your ROI is instant.
Very good
What do you like best about the product?
ease of use of the tool, features advanced yet easy to use features
What do you dislike about the product?
I have nothing to declare, I liked the whole tool and its practicality, it could only be cheaper
