A valid tool for charting
What do you like best about the product?
The templates are very useful to build up a complex chart in minutes
What do you dislike about the product?
If you switch to a free account (from a premium) you cannot even see the previous documents
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The chart have been very useful for the Software design process, and also they are great for documents that explain software architecture and flows.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I do not have much experience with other charting tools but Luchidchart was valid enough for me, I recommend it mostly for team usage.
Simple but efficient
What do you like best about the product?
I like that LucidChart is rather intuitive when it comes to building flowcharts. Items snap to the right angles, visually it provides very logical guidelines, and its just plain easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that the text options are somewhat limited. For example, there is no way for me to put a less than or equals sign that isn't "<=", which doesn't work for a professional chart going into a publication. I also wish there were more options for exporting, specifically eps format.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using this to build figures for a paper on hospital logistics that I will be submitting for review soon. Since I work with a wide array of professionals - physicians, engineers, computer scientists - LucidChart has been very handy as a web-based platform. No new programs to learn for everyone!
Great overall user experience. That's what really matters
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart provides our company an incredible and easy to use online user interface that allows us to manage, create and edit all of our technical diagrams. Within our company we did a comparison between multiple online and offline tools, Lucidchart topped our charts. For us, it offers best of both online and offline worlds: easy of use (shortcuts!), no individual installation/setup, centralised (user) management and compabitility with existing offline tools (MS Visio). In the end, what really matters is the overall experience that Lucidchart provides for everybody that is involved in our organisation: delivering an excellent user interface, basic and advanced chart-features, low cost of maintenance, ...
What do you dislike about the product?
The integration with some other (online) tools within our organisation could be improved. The Atlassian Confluence plugin does the job, however the installation and setup could be improved, as well as the feature set and quality of this integration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Above all we are trying to provide a solution to our employees that allows them to create diagrams more often. We are convinced that a tool that is easy to use, will result in the creation of more and better diagrams, which are incorporated within our Request For Proposals, Technical documentation, User manuals,...
Next to this, we are working on standardisation of the diagrams that we create within our organisation, building a set reusable stencils and diagrams. Lucidchart allows us to centralise all of our diagrams/stencils and in the end speed our internal processes and improve the quality documents we create.

I have used this to flowchart multiple processes in our business. It is quick and not clunky.
What do you like best about the product?
That I can quickly drop in pre-made shapes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes changing the curve of an arrow glitches and you have to close and reopen before you can change the curve of another arrow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this mainly to show understanding to those in development of the product but also those who are not in development of the product. So it is a great way to simplify the process so that anyone can understand what's happening.

Flexible and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
The drag-and-drop interface makes it easy to create and manipulate diagrams. The range of shape libraries provides good flexibility and allows for creating a variety of diagrams. It is easy to modify most of the diagram elements to customize a design.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sharing of documents is sometimes less than straightforward.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used Lucidchart for designing database schemas, diagramming workflows, sketching user interfaces, and creating general illustrations of geographic concepts. It is great to be able to do all of these things in one place and with a single, easy-to-use interface.
Easy and effective
What do you like best about the product?
I find Lucidchart easy to upload pictures to their existing database. Adding items, moving, editing and renaming all simple and offers everything we need to make diagrams.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have used the free version and the 5 chart limit is the only feature I don't like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are creating charts that service can use and customers understand. We have reduced mistakes on both ends.
Whatever you need mocking screens, documentation diagrams, you name it.. Simple and straightforward!
What do you like best about the product?
The wide range of examples to start from. It helps a lot to see how things looks like before even starting.
What do you dislike about the product?
The toolbar on top keeps opening when the mouse hovers on it. There's an arrow to pin the toolbar always open but I'd like to keep always closed and only open when I explicit want to use it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a software company we are always trying to communicate through diagrams our goals, how screens will look like, the architecture design and so on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try. Definitely worths the money and help you make money focusing on your own business.
Lucidchart is great!
What do you like best about the product?
I like that changes are propagated on all documents and wiki entries I make.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how slow it loads. I'd rather it show a generated image on my documents v.s. showing the actual document. That should make it faster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The original issue was due to us having outdated documentation graphs. This solves the issue since it propagates all changes to all documents.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a great product.
Easy alternative to Visio
What do you like best about the product?
Easier to use than Visio. No local software to install.
What do you dislike about the product?
Using the lines can be a bit odd. Sometimes, it is not easy to move items around that are already connected by lines.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Process flow mapping.
