Useful and intuitive
What do you like best about the product?
There's a very short learning curve for Lucidchart. The simple drag and drop capability was straightforward and organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found sometimes aligning shapes was a little difficult. Also, building the connections between blocks was frustrating at times – it's a difficult problem to solve, but when connecting a lot of different elements the diagrams sometimes became overcrowded.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was building a visual diagram to help a large marketing team get organized around a campaign release, including timing, the prospect's journey, and the role each sub-team would play in the campaign.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you know what you're going to use it for, just do the free trial.
LucidChart Review
What do you like best about the product?
LucidChart easily allows for diagramming flexibility, which makes drawing diagrams quite easy. I predominately use LucidChart when I documenting a new Customer lifecycle or mapping out a workflow between systems. It's also da great collaboration tool - you can share your diagram with other users and they can add to the chart as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Resizing shapes! It can be frustrating to format shapes as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Process outline. Workflows.
Great tool!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how you are easy to create flow charts and organize thoughts through this tool
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe adding a screenshot feature into the application would be better?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since our business requires creating progressions in tasks, we use lucid chart to create flowcharts.
I use LucidChart daily. Love that it's cloud based. Wish it were a little cleaner, like Visio
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that LucidChart is cloud based and saves in real time.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not as clean as Visio is. For instance, I create a lot of business process diagrams with swim lanes. In Visio, the swim lanes are very clean, it's easy to add additional lanes, and modify existing ones. I feel like Lucid hasn't implemented swim lanes as well. I also wish that it had the line functionality so it's easier to line elements up on the screen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LucidChart for business process diagrams. I like that it's cloud based and easy to share diagrams with others
Easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
I was completely new to lucidchart two months ago and it was very easy to pick up and use immediately.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the controls can be a little finicky. It can be hard to select exactly the line or box that you want sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are mapping process flows to easily share with others at our company.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is very easy to pick up and use with little to no training.
Great for making flowcharts and diagrams
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easily you can choose shapes and arrows to rapidly make charts. It takes no time at all.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don’t like how you can’t make arrows that originate or sync with existing arrows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Flowcharting for user flows and annotating app views
User-friendly and clean
What do you like best about the product?
As someone who used Visio for a while, I like that it is web-based and auto-saves your work. It is easy to use and has all of the basic Visio tools in an easier-to-use format. You can easily share you work as view only or for others to edit. They also use web fonts- so they have our brand fonts!
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much that I dislike about Lucidchart, but I think they should have templates that are a little more visually appealing and presentable for use outside of our organization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Lucidchart to visualize both internal and external workflows. For our customers, we try to map out their workflows before they start using our software and then use the flow chart to digitize the same workflow, with improvements, within our software. We also use it internally to manage handoffs between different teams to ensure that no work is lost and that our processes are efficient.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for a free, easy to use application I would recommend Lucidchart. It's easy to share and collaborate with. The only thing I don't know much about is the advanced features and how they compare to Visio.
FOR VISUAL LEARNERS
What do you like best about the product?
I am a very visual learner and this product helps me easily integrate that information in new ways. The product is also very cheap compared to its competitors.
What do you dislike about the product?
Formatting can be difficult and sometimes I wish the autoformatting worked better, but overall I am very satisfied. It can just be time consuming at times. Formatting is really my biggest concern, especially with larger blocks of text.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Lucidchart for class notes and helping to review for exams. I think it helpful o copy over the information into a new format and also to have a different way to look at it. Sometimes I will realize new connections in my mind.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use for smaller groups of information without a ton of text.

Great program for diagramming
What do you like best about the product?
It's really user-friendly and it was pretty simple for me to pick it up and start using it. Honestly, I never really spent a lot of time with Visio, but I use LucidChart on a nearly daily basis. I think that overall, it's a really great tool for us to be able to explain the way that our product works. It's also nice that we can save it as a PDF and send it to the clients as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes rearranging the lines doesn't react as I would expect - I try to simply drag it from one box to another and it'll make weird unexpected loops. I usually end up just deleting the line and starting back over. Another issue is that when you try to zoom in and out, there's not a gradient scroll - it only works in set steps (e.g. 50%, 75%, 100%). This makes it more difficult when trying to display all of some larger diagrams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's a really easy diagramming program that allows collaboration with its cloud-based technology. Before this, we had another diagramming tool, but LucidChart makes it so that any member of our team can pick up where the other left off. It's easy to share the diagrams that we make among our team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think it's well worth the money, and overall is really easy to use. There's a couple of quirks, but overall I think it's a really solid product.
