Lucid Chart
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to quickly create process maps and reconfigure on the fly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Saving of files and moving to folders can get cumbersome at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team works better seeing a nice visual flow chart, rather than a bulleted list. Lucid Chart allows me to quickly create these for presentations as well as team training.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you can afford going up from the trail, it is worth the price.
A Business Analyst Must Have Tool

Wireframes are a necessary for any developer to help them understand what the business is looking for. Lucidchart is my go to tool for wireframes.
Wonderful tool
What do you like best about the product?
I do process improvement for housing crisis response systems across the state of Texas; it is called Coordinated Entry in United States Department of Housing and Urban Development-speak. I love how easy it is to map out the before and after of various systems across the system. It truly is a wonderful tool - easy to learn and use. I have recommended it to my colleagues across the country that do the same job.
What do you dislike about the product?
I use the free version since I work for a non-profit. While I know that y'all want us to upgrade, it is a little frustrating how limited it is.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work with providers across the state of Texas to make their housing crisis response systems more client friendly and to make homelessness brief, rare, and non-recurring. Because Lucidchart helps show the before and after of systems, it helps people in the various communities I work in see what needs to be done to truly create systems change. Thank you for making my job easier, Lucidchart!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just try it. If you do a lot of system mapping, you'll find that this is the best and easiest tool to use.
Easy to Use, Easy to Share, Easy to Collaborate
What do you like best about the product?
Lucid Charts makes it easy to collaborate on diagrams. Our organization uses the integrations with Slack, Google Drive, and JIRA.
What do you dislike about the product?
After moving from free accounts to a paid account, it was too difficult to move existing data into the main account. I realize that import / export is a limitation of the free accounts but I would have liked to have had a one time import option when moving to a paid account.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Software Development, Business Requirements, Flow Charts, Documentation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Contact Lucid Charts excellent customer support to work with you on an evaluation product / period. Much better than starting with multiple free account and converting later.
Lucid is very intuitive.
What do you like best about the product?
I'm a Continuous Improvement trainer/coach. I love the way I can quickly create process maps and visual displays to tell a story.
What do you dislike about the product?
harder to make swim lanes for process maps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My current projects include increasing landfill diversion rate from 43% to 69% and increasing the effectiveness of online College courses.
Visio on the go +
What do you like best about the product?
When building network diagrams, I like how easy it is to create objects in the fly just y dropping them into the design.
In many ways, the look and fell is like visio, but minus the learning curve.

What do you dislike about the product?
Loading times for larger diagrams could be better, as well as exporting/importing visio diagrams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We always need network diagrams. This makes sharing and collaboration a breeze.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Play with it.
Flexibility
What do you like best about the product?
I use Lucidchart on my Mac, my iPad, and on my Windows 8 desktop machine. The ability to work on the same document seamlessly across devices is an absolute key selling point for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really. Some features are not available in all the clients - but then I simply don't use those features so it's not really an issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Network modeling is key. Having a consistent template for architecture designs has been very useful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a good replacement for Visio on the desktop for me - especially given that I'm a Mac user.
My favourite diagraming tool
What do you like best about the product?
The vast array of options! I work as a mobile product manager. I have never run into a situation with my needs (defining in-app flows, features, alternatives) when I would be forced to look for other system. Lucidchart set of tools and customization options alongside sharing, commenting, integration and exporting functionalities always 100% cover my requirements with ease. It has saved me a lot of times explaining my ideas with my colleagues.
What do you dislike about the product?
Minor stuff, occasional annoyance with UI, especially when options density causes Lucidchart to misunderstand what I wanted to do with a click. I acknowledge this is felt by your dev team and being optimized in every iteration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Defining mobile app functionality, brainstorming alternatives, quicker sharing complex ideas with visuals
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Totally give it a try, spend some time and collect the rewards.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Duplicating a shape requires many key strokes. Wish we had a shortcut to duplicate
- Mindmapping and laying out mindmaps is still primitive when you compare to products like Mindmapper Curio etc. I invariably end up using another product when i create mind-map
- The UI mockup tools are not as convenient as Balsamiq

My Go To
What do you like best about the product?
Lucid Chart is my go-to tool for creating process maps. It's easy to use, and easy to pass along to my clients once I have completed my project. The charts and functional, usable and provide so many benefits to my clients. I love the new functionality as well. Great job guys!
What do you dislike about the product?
If I could change one thing I would definitely add the ability to link documents other than google docs. For my clients that don't use Google this creates the need for a work around which I don't like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Process map, or as we call them 'freedom maps', are exactly that...the business owners map to freedom. Every process that runs through their business is documented allowing a visual view of what boxes an owner needs to get out of (outsource, hire, etc) in order to live their ideal lifestyle. Lucid chart is key for this.
