Perfect tool for architectural diagrams
What do you like best about the product?
I like the convenience of the tool and its integration with AWS CSP.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing comes to my mind. Everything is great and convenient
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating architectural schemes, data flow diagrams.
Invaluable tool for communicating our development information to key clients
What do you like best about the product?
I love the clean intuitive interface. Everything is where you need it. The learning curve is short. I love that I can send diagrams to coworkers and clients for collaborative feedback directly on the diagrams rather than having them send email comments. It is also easy to organize files and use standard templates for different types of designs.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far the only thing I don't like is that I haven't been able to keep a standard set of shapes so that I don't have to open what I need each time I create a new file. I also don't like that some of the shape libraries require an upgraded license. I think it should be a single license level with all features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use LucidCharts to diagram out software application workflows, entity diagrams, state diagrams, as well as our network diagrams for our managed service clients. These are critical in our application design process. So LucidCharts gives us the ability to do our design work collaboratively with ease and include our clients in the design process. So far our clients love the ability to see and comment directly on our designs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Lucidchart is definitely worth evaluating. We tried it out as a replacement for draw.io and found that some of our team love it and some just don't want to change to a new tool. So far no specific limitations have been found so we are happy to continue our license and usage.
Highly Recommended
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart is an intuitive and easy to use way to communication information quickly. You can build out a base diagram in a few minutes and share it with others for quick collaboration.
What do you dislike about the product?
A few of the newer integrations are still a bit weak and could use some tweaking
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team uses Lucidchart to put concepts to paper and look at the interaction between cross-functional teams. In doing this we have pinpointed ares of overlap (wasted time) and gaps in the process where confusion grows. Mapping out these processes before we change anything allows us to share the concepts with the organization before any resources are impacted from the change.
Easiest way to visualize
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart allows me to in minutes, draft and share and collaborate designs of AWS architecture, process flow charts and timelines for roadmaps easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
More shapes. If we could get more shapes that can be used in a narration of conversations for example that would be helpful as well as better augmentation of callout shape.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
How to create and review proposed application and service changes. It is great for sharing and publishing also being able to show it from my mobile device is very helpful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a great tool for schools and tech companies alike. Integrate it wherever possible.
Best Diagramming Software
What do you like best about the product?
Customizable icons are key. Working inside a large organization, having the ability to create a shared visual vocabulary accelerates understanding and development.
It’s also easy to learn the basics and so simple to collaborate and share.

What do you dislike about the product?
Issues with line snapping are common. Typically is is during the connection of objects spread across a diagram and the line snapping over other icons.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a developer and project manager, Lucidchart helps me quickly share the logic and get feedback for multilayer logic flow. It’s made management of expectations as easy as sharing the diagram
Lucidchart make easy my work
What do you like best about the product?
With lucidchart all my work it is easy, simple to complex diagrams, web based, easy to share an collaborate around the world and smart app.
What do you dislike about the product?
We need a way to work off-line and chance to use Visio stencils or add more stencils
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaborate around the world, easy understanding with my clients, chance to review simultaneously with other clients in real time
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Add more broadcast stencils
Basic flow charts and smart charts
What do you like best about the product?
Mainly I use this software to create status reports for projects I manage
What do you dislike about the product?
A couple times I have experienced smart charts removing the applied rules or disappearing altogether. I've had to rebuild my reports a couple times or apply formatting via the toolbar rather than rules.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can easily create status reports that are readily accepted and understood by upper management
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely try it in several different ways. It does a good job of integrating with data on spreadsheets as a way of maintaining the information in some of the charting options.
Best flowcharting tool I have used
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart is my go to prototyping tool when designing funnels and flows with clients.
It's sharing and pdf download functionality is incredible

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the way my boards all show up when I open the software
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to use and easy to show others how things work
Comprehensive product with wide variety of pre-made widget libraries
What do you like best about the product?
Love the number of widget libraries from well-known services and domains (e.g., AWS, Mobile App Design).
Love the interoperability with Visio. This is essential for engaging with highly regulated customers that must use on-prem/local tools.

What do you dislike about the product?
Can be a bit sluggish, but likely more of an issue with the MacBook Air I was trying to run it on, versus the service itself. Kinda expected given its running over the web.
The way my docs are filed could be improved. In order to put a LucidChart file into a specific Google Drive folder I have to find it in Drive and move it... versus some kind of "Organize" button within Lucidchart

Creating system diagrams of our product to collaborate internally and with customers.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
The Mobile UI Mockup seemed to be protected by a full subscription, unless I'm missing something.
One of the most complete apps for flowcharts and everything
What do you like best about the product?
Using lucidchart is like buying a sophisticated bpm for paying much less for that. You have hundreds of graphs, tools, charts, flowcharts to use for your company or entrepreneurship that will look great.
What do you dislike about the product?
I was trying to integrate lucidchart with google drive but I couldn't. They didn't have the IDEF0 graphs for process workflows which is also useful sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helped me a lot with making the process flowchart for every division in the company that allow us to identify the key points that we have to improve. Also, I used the canvas business model graph to understand how do we operate. Some graphs as value stream mapping and organizational charts to illustrate the strategic changes in the company. I would recommend it for everyone who works for a continuous improvement division.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely really useful and cheap, there's plenty of priceless tutorials that will teach you how to use every tool that lucidchart offers.
