Decent Usage with issues regarding Google Drive
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that I can easily make charts for myself and others to edit.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've had a lot of issues with adding it to a team shared chrome drive. Anytime someone shares it within the drive I can never navigate to that particular document.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I haven't solved any business problem, but I have solved charts I needed to make for my classes.
Great substitute for Visio
What do you like best about the product?
I think the ease of use is LucidChart's best feature. I can create any process diagram or org chart in just minutes with templates and easy to use controls. The new presentation mode is a very interesting feature that I need to use more. I like the fact that the product consistently sees updates and improvements.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of customization and visual options. The limited design capabilities is difficult for someone who is specializes in graphic design. I get by in Lucidchart but there needs to be more formatting options and more options to customize process maps with pictures or other visual content. The photo uploader and cloud is also difficult, crashing sometimes and not uploading files.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In most cases, I use LucidChart to specifically design processes, before and after diagrams, and org charts. While most colleagues cannot show simple process diagrams, I can easily update or build a diagram that is both informative and tailored to the audience.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want a inexpensive option compared to Visio, this is an excellent program that is simple to use and easy to learn.
Flexible diagramming solution on any platform
What do you like best about the product?
Works in any browser on (almost) any computer. I work in a heterogeneous computing environment and I travel, a lot, so being able to access all of the diagrams on any computer is incredible valuable to me.
What do you dislike about the product?
A little clunky UI sometimes with lots of wasted space. If they could make better use of space it would be a tremendous benefit for those of us forced to use tablets, MS Surface, small form factor laptops.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used Lucidchart to clearly communicate the details of complex business problems. After meetings, it's easy for people to go away with different understandings of what was said. A single diagram of the discussed concepts makes the shared understanding of the group consistent and concrete.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You will leave behind some of the really intensely sophisticated features of products like Omnigraffle, but you'll find that speed and ease of use and deployment is worth it.
Great product!
What do you like best about the product?
I'm a graduate student and I've used Lucidchart for many class assignments. It's simple, elegant and intuitive to use, allowing me to easily create great looking flow chards and logic models. Highly recommended!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that it were easier to change the orientation of the flow (e.g. if I created a flowchart in landscape and want to switch it to portrait). Perhaps this functionality exists somewhere, but I find myself having to move a lot of things around to accomplish this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm learning about user experience design and research, and Lucidchart has given me the ability to better visualize the ways in which my user's experience will unfold.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for visualizing user experience processes.
Two Completly Different Types of Projects, One Application
What do you like best about the product?
I originally used this program to visualize databases for my programming needs and it worked great for that. But then finding out that you could use it for floor layouts, it became very handy when I was buying furniture for a room in the house and seeing how I could layout the rooms in multiple ways. I have only had it for a little bit but I'm sure Ill find other ways to the use this application for other problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
When using the ERD diagrams, I was hoping there would be another section for a navigation properties that I could visualy see better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
How to visualize Entity Related Databases. The amount of pre registered modules I could choose from.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at the different scenarios you could use this application for.
Year and a half with Lucidchart
What do you like best about the product?
Essentially the combination of both UML, relational and UI mockups all in one place. I can use Lucidchart for all phases of development without need for other analytical tools.
And then I can both collaborate with others and present my stuff with Lucidchart.
Also recently the integration with google documents, its extremely easy just sketch something and paste it into documentation.

What do you dislike about the product?
Iam all happy. I would preffer to have "prettier" UI elements. Also instead of image object, some mock image would be perfect. Maybe even some basic styling to be added, so I can present not only structure, but also a basic view (but without a need to write any css or stat stuff).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Application development, mainly gaming, gambling and shopping. Analysis and then management of a team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Dont worry about the switch, once you are there you have everything always accessible and on one place.
Excellent tool for quick diagrams
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is intuitive and very powerful, and there are lots of good features that make drawing connected diagrams very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like the ability to add richer custom shapes, with connection points, text fields, alternative defaults for line style etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Lucid Chart for quickly sketching out system diagrams and database schematics. It is the quickest and most flexible tool I have come across.
Lucidchart in education process
What do you like best about the product?
The simple way how to make what I want. All time I need to express visually I am choosing the Lucidchart.
All works in easy way and brinks new possibilities. In my lessons I force students to learn Lucidchart as the ability to make diagrams and workflows are necessary skill.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes slow responses when working with Chrome. The working with images can be also improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly problems during education process. Working in GIScience where are high demands for workflows visualizations tools.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely the one of the best software for diagramming I ever met.
Easy to use and collaborative tool for your diagramming and flow needs
What do you like best about the product?
Its online and easy to use. I can use it on any machine that has browser and internet connection. Even if you have not used any diagramming softwares before, it is easy to learn within a couple of minutes and be in expert in just a few hours.
The best part it is collaborative, multiple people can work on it at the same time. Moreover it can be quickly shared within the organisation and outside the organization.

What do you dislike about the product?
When multiple people are working on it, the refreshing is not that smooth and get laggy at times. Line drawing auto-conencting to objects can be improved. When there is an existing line it draws line all over even under another object.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an IT team, we need easy access to system connectivity charts, process flow and workflow documentation which is easily accessible. Moreover keeping it updated has always been a challenge as we end up having multiple pdf version all over our document portal.
With Lucidchart, updating is just a few clicks away and just one version of the document.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are heavy Visio, you can import almost all charts but be prepared to do some cleanup.
One great thing about this product is presentation, you can select portions to be visible and then reveal more objects as you present them. Imagine drawing up a data highway kind of chart for your IT environment.

Lucidchart is awesome
What do you like best about the product?
There are many advantages of Lucidchart:
- a huge amount of shapes available, from "classic" standards like UML and BPMN to iOS and Android system elements;
- versatile and easy to use shapes connection tool: creation of arrows and lines between the elements feels really natural.

What do you dislike about the product?
I have to mention some drawbacks (that drive me nuts sometimes):
- "snap to grid" might be inaccurate and snap shapes a couple of pixels away from destination, that is why I usually turn it off.
- the price is nearly the same as of competitors, although I would love to see more discounts.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The product is really versatile, so we prepare a set of different documents using Lucidchart: from website taxonomy and page mockups to mobile apps user flow reports.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I've been working with this app for more than a year and have constantly seen improvements on all the sides. Previously I've tried Gliffy and Visio but they don't feel as natural as Lucidchart does. Don't hesitate to try it out, I believe you will love it.
