Awesome tool for flow mapping!
What do you like best about the product?
The gridlines on lucid chart and predefined flows are awesome. It's so simple to drag and drop and get things perfectly sized. It shows you mirrored measurements on the items you're charting so that you don't have to worry about certain items being larger, smaller, too close together, too far apart. I absolutely love the tool and use it every chance I get. It's also easy to copy and entire flow and paste it into a document as an image (instead of having to worry about formatting from source to target).
What do you dislike about the product?
I really like Lucidchart. It would be nice if the free version allowed for more flexibility. I used the free version for about two weeks and couldn't continue without buying the subscription. I think a free version that doesn't have advanced features, but also doesn't force you to upgrade would be super helpful and awesome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've worked on a lot of solution design documents and it's always nice to quickly throw together flows for a visual perspective. Lucidchart lets me do this quickly and easily. It's easy to get frustrated with other tools and spend a lot of time on formatting, but I can draw something out in a couple of minutes that's perfectly balanced and looks great.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great tool with a bunch of flexibility. I think it's absolutely worth the money if you're building flows out often enough.
Lucid Chart -easy to use diagram and chart creation.
What do you like best about the product?
I typically used microsoft visio when needing to create org charts and other work related digrams. One day I needed to do a chart and did not have access to the microsoft software. A quick search of the web brought me to lucid chart. With no previous use I was quickly able to create the chart I needed. The program is web based so i can access it from any internet connected machine and it is very easy to use. Minimal instruction was required for me to create what I needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be helpful if more templates were available, especially for wireframing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Org chart, wireframing, diagrams.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Built in collaboration makes this an appealing software.
Decent but not great charting
What do you like best about the product?
I like that its web-based and has some collaboration tools built within the system. It also has a decent amount of templates to get you started.
What do you dislike about the product?
It definitely doesnt have a UI to write home about and can be a little buggy sometimes. The spacing is really manual and even when it does snap into place, its often not the same distance between items (yes, I know that's nitpicky, but it drives me crazy). Also, while there are tools to share a chart, it seems like they could bump it up a notch in this area perhaps with version control or something.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a project manager, I have a pretty big need to be able to product charts and graphs to get my point across and get my team on the same page in regards to user stories, data flows, timelines, etc. The benefit has been that I can create most of the charts I need in my position. I also occasionally use it for wireframing when working with the design department on a new app.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its a decent charting software for a good price.
Easy chart and diagram tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like how you get unlimited pages so you can continue to build your chart as long as needed. I like how easy to read the whole layout is.
What do you dislike about the product?
The zoom in/out and side to side can be tricky because you have to click on the actual bars to move the page. Has simple basic shapes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Webpage flow.
Love the it for collaboration and feedback
What do you like best about the product?
Lucid Charts is great for diagraming things like site maps, user flows, and site architecture. I love that it's easy to collaborate with co-workers and send to client and get comments.
What do you dislike about the product?
Have had some issues with bugginess, when they roll out new features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Saving time, and easily communicate ideas.
Easy collaboration for process diagrams
What do you like best about the product?
Aside from being extremely intuitive and easy to use, being able to collaborate with colleagues on diagrams using a web-based diagrams application is extremely useful in a consulting environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
No integration with Salesforce CRM that I'm aware of. This would greatly benefit service and support teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Process diagrams and data modeling.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend this solution. There are integration capabilities that make collaboration seamless.
Great but expensive
What do you like best about the product?
I love how simple flow charts are to make in Lucidchart.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish they would reduce the cost of the advanced subscription.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lucidcart cuts down on the time needed to make a chart.
Great Collaboration for Cross-Functional Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart is a great tool for a few things: building quick wireframes, concept sharing, and design critiques. The advantage of Lucidchart is that it allow everyone in your company to view the work you've produced whereas applications like Illustrator or Sketch requires your coworkers to purchase a license, and they don't have any online sharing capabilities. I've had project managers, VPs, developers, and designers chime in on design sessions to hear various feedbacks. They can also review the contents separately on their own time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Like Illustrator, Lucidchart is a heavy tool. Lucidchart isn't native. It's built to be accessible through the web so it's convenient and available on any device so long as you are comfortable with your viewing/working device. Because of this dependence on the web, Lucidchart requires your computer to continually process on RAM (I believe). It takes a toll and slows down your development. Use it wisely. Don't dive too far into detail with this tool. One other thing is that it takes a while to load your file. I've had moments where it took hours to load something and continuously fail to project anything. That's why I'm sometimes frustrated at the application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Like I mentioned above, it saves time and money because only a few license is necessary to enable collaboration & execution of design work. The sharing ability allows cross-functional teams to effectively communicate feedbacks & solutions with one another and a good rate of time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a pretty useful tool for charts, workflows, quick ideas and sharing but do not use it to create Hi-Fi wireframes. It will not be worth your time.
Great for creating Org charts or work flows
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use when putting together charts. Using Microsoft Office products to do the same thing can be frustrating and difficult. Very easy to share projects with co-workers.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have yet to find something I dislike with this application. LucidChart has a narrow focus on what it would be useful for but what it does do it does very well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to update and create organizational charts. Great for diagramming business processes.
Useful tool for company flow charts.
What do you like best about the product?
This product is much easier to use for company workflow charts than Excel. We can design good organization charts on the fly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Moving or changing information can get bogged down. I have had to start over when connecting lines become tangled.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Lucidchart to document our company organization charts for auditors. The process lets me update the charts when changes are made. The charts are stored and archived by date, so I can access a chart for review.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This product is easy to use and learn. You can produce a good chart on your first try with the product.
