Perfect for architecture diagrams and illustrating workflows
What do you like best about the product?
Super easy to use in building beautiful diagrams and workflows. As a Solution Engineer at a tech company, I can't think of another solution for building out these diagrams that showcase data architecture.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing. Given my role, my scope of the product is limited. I'm sure the product is capable of so much more than what I use it for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lucid makes it easy to illustrate concepts that are difficult to articulate - data architecture, data in transit, etc. Building out diagrams and workflows in Lucid has likely saved me hours of customer calls focused on explaining these concepts.
Simplified Team Alignment and Idea Visualization
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite simplifies brainstorming and the creation of flowcharts, which makes handling complex ideas more manageable and facilitates easy collaboration among team members. The software has also been instrumental in aligning team members on projects and organizing complex ideas visually.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found the initial setup of the Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite somewhat time-consuming and challenging to navigate at first. It took a little time to understand how to use the suite effectively. Although I was eventually able to navigate it with guidance and regular use, the initial learning curve was steep.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite to align team members on projects, organize complex ideas visually, brainstorm, create flowcharts, and develop project plans, making complex ideas easier to understand and process.
Great for Structuring and Visualizing Engineering Workflows
What do you like best about the product?
Lucid helps me map out complex engineering workflows in a way that makes them easier to explain to the team. I often use it to create system diagrams, workflow charts, and architecture visuals, which keeps discussions more structured. The templates are very handy, and real-time collaboration makes it easy to align with others quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes performance slows a bit when working with large, detailed diagrams. Export options could also be more flexible.The pricing plans are also bit expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Instead of having scattered notes or rough drawings, I can create a single visual that everyone understands. This reduces confusion, speeds up decision-making, and makes onboarding new engineers easier since they can quickly see how things fit together.
Lucidchart - A fast way to diagramming
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart has a lot of icons and symbols to create a connected diagram highlighting flows well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Managing team projects, version history, and user roles can be difficult
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating and sharing diagrams for better representation and collaboration
Lucid Chart has made making training material 10x easier, faster, easier to edit.
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy how easy it is to use. The program layout is very easy to follow.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that it doesn't give you a space to work with for a certain size paper. I sometimes make charts only to find they won't print well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it to make training materials for my job in HR. This program has made creating documents efficient and easy to do.
Sometimes Visuals Are Better For Understanding.
What do you like best about the product?
Its easy UI to make a DAG or any pipeline graphs easily. Alternatively, if you're going into a project that's been underway, it's easy to pick up or to modify and get a better understanding. As a visual learner, it helps to see what's where and what's doing what.
Formatting shapes and adjust minor details is A LOT easier than any microsoft or google apps. I really appreciate some hotkeys being transferred over from microsoft, such as make font bigger or smaller. It's very transferrable coming from a legacy system.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not a dislike but I find myself using the shapes tab quite often and I forget I can change the colours from the ribbons. I dislike having to input a "shape in use" and having to change the colours through the ribbon.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving the how complex data pipelines are made and are in use. It's far easier and more powerful to show rather than explain in words.
Easy and Intuitive Diagramming for Everyone
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to get started with Lucid Charts. The user interface is very intuitive, and I was able to create professional-looking flowcharts and diagrams without much of a learning curve. The drag-and-drop functionality and wide variety of templates make it simple to visualize complex processes and ideas. I also really appreciate the real-time collaboration features, which allow me to work on diagrams with my colleagues simultaneously.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, I find that the free version is a bit too limited, which makes it hard to fully explore all the features. While the templates are great, it can be a little difficult to customize them extensively without some extra effort. Also, for very large or complex diagrams, the software can occasionally lag, which can be a bit frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This benefits me by:
Improving Communication and Alignment: Instead of lengthy email chains or confusing meetings, I can create a diagram that clearly shows a process or a system. This helps me and my colleagues get on the same page quickly and reduces misunderstandings.
Streamlining Workflows: By visualizing our team's processes, we can easily identify bottlenecks and areas for improvement. This makes our work more efficient and helps us complete projects faster.
Enhancing Collaboration: The real-time collaboration features make it feel like we're all in the same room, even when we're working remotely. We can brainstorm on a shared canvas, add comments, and make changes together, which is much more effective than trying to describe things over a video call.

...wish I came across that tool a long time ago!
What do you like best about the product?
Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite is so easy to use and is such a collaboration enabler, even for someone like me, who is not the most technical guy around! I absolutely love the clean desktop interface, which makes my life easier when creating diagrams in a super efficient way. I am also impressed by the large amount of available Templates.
What do you dislike about the product?
The experience that I've had when trying to use this suite on mobile device could have bene much better (could be because of a "web-first design" approach somehow)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
“Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite helps our Professional Services Team to turn complex ideas into clear, shared visuals in real time. It also helps a lot to eliminate miscommunication, whilst keeping projects and ideas aligned—especially when working with individuals across various countries!”
A versatile and intuitive platform for seamless team collaboration.

Lucid for business use
What do you like best about the product?
It integrates a digital whiteboard, Lucidspark, for initial brainstorming with a diagramming tool, Lucidchart, for creating structured flowcharts and process maps. This allows teams to move concepts from a freeform environment to an organized format while collaborating in real-time.
Next, its code to diagram tool using AI is a time saver.
