Lucid Chart for diagramming and modelling
What do you like best about the product?
LucidChart is a good product that can help us to create a diagram, chart, data visualization, etc. The user interface is very simple and clean so we won't find it hard when using the product.
What do you dislike about the product?
We need to pay the paid plan if we want to create more projects, other features, etc. I personally don't use it as a daily use so I have no intention to pay the paid plan.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Diagramming and Modelling issues, sometimes we want to create a diagram for our business but at the same time we need to create it fast and simple. Lucidchart provides it all, we can open our browser and start to create our diagram.
Effective visualisation and collaboration tool.
What do you like best about the product?
The variety of features it offers to communicate (e.g., can do by creating stickers or by giving emojis to stickers). It is also provides a great visualisation platform where complex structures with lots of interdependencies can be visualised well.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be great if it could interlink with JIRA more. At the moment there is very minimal support features. As such if using Lucid to create and visualise things that will go into JIRA, it is a manual task to go and copy the things into JIRA.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visualisation tool for JIRA. JIRA is very 1 dimensional - all the stories are in one lineup. This makes it hard to keep track of everything going on. Whereas Lucid provides a platform that is capable of visualising inter-dependencies and relating how the stories match up to the bigger picture.
Easy to use tool, quite effective for mapping up project steps and priorities
What do you like best about the product?
The panning and navigation system through the keyboard and mouse is quite efficient, as well as the minimap tool permits to quickly move around the entire chart without scrolling too much.
What do you dislike about the product?
The connection between blocks is quite clunky and not smart enough to avoid obstacles so the user has to manually fix the route of the arrows to circumnavigate every single "obstacle", plus the snapping is quite inefficient when boxes are too close to each other.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The tool is quite useful to map out projects and understand how the workflow is interconnected. Depending on how has been used, it permits to quickly understand what needs to be done and gives a sense of prioritization.
Good but required even more options.
What do you like best about the product?
There are lots of pen color options available. User friendly. Easy to write and clear the canvas. Overall it's a good pick. More options of shapes are very useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Eraser option required as undo will not help everytime. Writing is not soft as required. It would have been more effective.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping me in taking online classes as I'm a teacher it very helpful. I can share my entire screen to my students and write on the lucidspark white board. My online teaching became more effective.
Not bad but I prefer a local app
What do you like best about the product?
The collaberation features are nice. Lots of objects to choose from.
What do you dislike about the product?
No "Save As" option. You have to create a new document and paste existing content into it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having a place to produce and share documents is good.
Great tool with some annoying hurdles
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it was to organize thoughts, website maps, and wireframes. Particularly how intuitive the drag and drop system was. I've used a decent number of competitors, but this one actually stuck
What do you dislike about the product?
While it is very easy to move lines and objects so that it looks good, everything resets when a new element is added. I suspect it's a problem with how hierarchical objects are treated, but it was quite annoying to have to move everything around again because a new object forced the previous ones to move around.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lucidchart is solving the problem of how to effectively organize loose thoughts and relationships on paper. It is a way to clarify and expound upon plans and ideas without losing coherence from poor tools.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try. It will outperform every other diagramming application
Review
What do you like best about the product?
The visual display of information as its easier to read.
What do you dislike about the product?
In complex graphs, it can be hard to get accurate imputs. The snapping at times will snap to places that are further away from the mouse.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I solve displays of lots of text in a more organized way. It allows multiple people to edit at the same time to populate space.
I only have 2 issues....so far
What do you like best about the product?
I like how it is integrated with Salesforce
I LOVE how I can quickly update SF fields with minimal clicks

What do you dislike about the product?
Obstacle 1: When I create an Org chart and establishing relationship flow with arrows, it would be nice if the arrows were dynamic. Let me explain:
When I create a flow (from leadership to lower level), I may start my lucid chart by flowing to the RIGHT.
Halfway through my chart, I may decide that I can position everything better if it was to flow to the LEFT.
Based on the position I placed my arrows, I HAVE TO REDO EVERY SINGLE ARROW ON THE CHART. THIS IS TIME COSTLY
Obstacle 2: After correcting dozens of fields with LC, I leave my desk and find every change has been reverted with no warning.
I decide to go into SF to manually change these fields.
Turns out, I was using special characters that SF doesn't use.
IT WOULD BE NICE IF LC COULD WARN ME OF THIS

I have a great view of my plan.
Thanks to LC, I can really visualize the organizations in which I do business

Good, But Not Idiot Proof
What do you like best about the product?
LucidChart is a great tool for building Org charts. As an HR department of 1 with a rapidly changing workforce, it's nice to have one place to go to update my organizational charts. That said, I am not a graphic designer, nor do I have any particular skills when it comes to creating attractive layouts. Because of this, Lucidchart can be a bit frustrating when I need to represent something that isn't immediately apparent. For example, I cannont create a skip level employee, showing that they report to the CEO,but are not part of the senior leadership team.
What do you dislike about the product?
The tools are not intuitive for someone who has little experience with building charts. Yes, you can make something functional, but not beautiful. I am often stuck either having to try and freehand what I need or just sticking with boring charts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to create organizational charts, and solicit collaboration from team members inside of one platform. I really appreciate the fact that there is no software to download, so it's easy for everyone to collab, no matter the system they're using.
Friendly tools for drawing diagram
What do you like best about the product?
Color, drag and drop to build diagram. and it have built in AWS icon
What do you dislike about the product?
I was not informed I need to pay until I have built a lot of diagrams. and some diagrams have been built partially. so I need to pay to continue building
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
