Best Charting/ Diagramming tool ever!
What do you like best about the product?
There are a lot of different diagrams that can be built with LucidChart and a good variety of shapes and connectors for each type. The ability to use actions (like macros and links) and layers allow you to easily show current state vs. future state of processes, architecture,etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only ask would be for automatic recognition of page breaks for swim lanes and process flows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a solution architect, I document business process, network architectures, org charts, database entity-relationship diagrams, UI wire frames and solution context diagrams on a regular basis. LucidChart allows me to create and collaborate on all of the documents needed to convey a solution to my business and technical clients for acceptance and to pass on to my developers to build. My job would be a lot more difficult without LucidChart.
Great transition from Visio
What do you like best about the product?
Cloud collaboration, no more emailing Visio's around and trying to figure out which one is the latest.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see more industrial buildings and structures rather than just business offices. I do infrastructure design for some large industrial facilities and I may have to move this work to Bluebeam.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration is so much simpler with this tool. Much quicker designs are realized when all team members can work off of the same drawing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are using Visio, ditch it and switch to Lucid charts, your life will be much simpler.
Great functionality and ease of use
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to share and collaborate, and I really appreciate all of the available templates that show how lucid chart can be leveraged to create content.
What do you dislike about the product?
At first the user interface seems a little intimidating, so there is a small learning curve on getting familiar with the different tools as a whole. Not bad, but I think the user interface could be a little more user friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Haven't had any issues, but have used Lucidchart to build out multiple new processes which have been very beneficial. I mostly use Lucid chart for flowcharts, but am excited to continue to leverage all of the existing tools that are available.
Perfect tool for architectural diagrams
What do you like best about the product?
I like the convenience of the tool and its integration with AWS CSP.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing comes to my mind. Everything is great and convenient
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating architectural schemes, data flow diagrams.
Invaluable tool for communicating our development information to key clients
What do you like best about the product?
I love the clean intuitive interface. Everything is where you need it. The learning curve is short. I love that I can send diagrams to coworkers and clients for collaborative feedback directly on the diagrams rather than having them send email comments. It is also easy to organize files and use standard templates for different types of designs.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far the only thing I don't like is that I haven't been able to keep a standard set of shapes so that I don't have to open what I need each time I create a new file. I also don't like that some of the shape libraries require an upgraded license. I think it should be a single license level with all features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use LucidCharts to diagram out software application workflows, entity diagrams, state diagrams, as well as our network diagrams for our managed service clients. These are critical in our application design process. So LucidCharts gives us the ability to do our design work collaboratively with ease and include our clients in the design process. So far our clients love the ability to see and comment directly on our designs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Lucidchart is definitely worth evaluating. We tried it out as a replacement for draw.io and found that some of our team love it and some just don't want to change to a new tool. So far no specific limitations have been found so we are happy to continue our license and usage.
Easiest way to visualize
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart allows me to in minutes, draft and share and collaborate designs of AWS architecture, process flow charts and timelines for roadmaps easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
More shapes. If we could get more shapes that can be used in a narration of conversations for example that would be helpful as well as better augmentation of callout shape.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
How to create and review proposed application and service changes. It is great for sharing and publishing also being able to show it from my mobile device is very helpful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a great tool for schools and tech companies alike. Integrate it wherever possible.
Best Diagramming Software
What do you like best about the product?
Customizable icons are key. Working inside a large organization, having the ability to create a shared visual vocabulary accelerates understanding and development.
It’s also easy to learn the basics and so simple to collaborate and share.

What do you dislike about the product?
Issues with line snapping are common. Typically is is during the connection of objects spread across a diagram and the line snapping over other icons.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a developer and project manager, Lucidchart helps me quickly share the logic and get feedback for multilayer logic flow. It’s made management of expectations as easy as sharing the diagram
Lucidchart make easy my work
What do you like best about the product?
With lucidchart all my work it is easy, simple to complex diagrams, web based, easy to share an collaborate around the world and smart app.
What do you dislike about the product?
We need a way to work off-line and chance to use Visio stencils or add more stencils
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaborate around the world, easy understanding with my clients, chance to review simultaneously with other clients in real time
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Add more broadcast stencils
Best flowcharting tool I have used
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart is my go to prototyping tool when designing funnels and flows with clients.
It's sharing and pdf download functionality is incredible

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the way my boards all show up when I open the software
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to use and easy to show others how things work
Comprehensive product with wide variety of pre-made widget libraries
What do you like best about the product?
Love the number of widget libraries from well-known services and domains (e.g., AWS, Mobile App Design).
Love the interoperability with Visio. This is essential for engaging with highly regulated customers that must use on-prem/local tools.

What do you dislike about the product?
Can be a bit sluggish, but likely more of an issue with the MacBook Air I was trying to run it on, versus the service itself. Kinda expected given its running over the web.
The way my docs are filed could be improved. In order to put a LucidChart file into a specific Google Drive folder I have to find it in Drive and move it... versus some kind of "Organize" button within Lucidchart

The Mobile UI Mockup seemed to be protected by a full subscription, unless I'm missing something.
