Great substitute for Visio

  • March 24, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I think the ease of use is LucidChart's best feature. I can create any process diagram or org chart in just minutes with templates and easy to use controls. The new presentation mode is a very interesting feature that I need to use more. I like the fact that the product consistently sees updates and improvements.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of customization and visual options. The limited design capabilities is difficult for someone who is specializes in graphic design. I get by in Lucidchart but there needs to be more formatting options and more options to customize process maps with pictures or other visual content. The photo uploader and cloud is also difficult, crashing sometimes and not uploading files.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In most cases, I use LucidChart to specifically design processes, before and after diagrams, and org charts. While most colleagues cannot show simple process diagrams, I can easily update or build a diagram that is both informative and tailored to the audience.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want a inexpensive option compared to Visio, this is an excellent program that is simple to use and easy to learn.

Amazing academic writing tool!

  • March 24, 2016

What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the flexibility this program has to offer.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could copy a figure and past it into a word document without having to first download it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I create figures, diagrams, and statistical model displays using this software. It is much quicker and more flexible than diagraming in PowerPoint. Have, and continue to recommend this to all my academic peers!

Lucidchart is a viable and preferable alternative to Visio for creating technical diagrams.

  • March 24, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart is a platform-neutral way to create appealing diagrams in both industry-standard and also ad-hoc styles. The user experience is remarkably responsive, published images are suitable for projected presentations and printed documents, the product is well-integrated with Google tools (for sign-on and saving) and the fidelity of diagrams is nicely preserved when exported for colleagues that prefer desktop tools, such as MS Visio, MS Word and Adobe Photoshop.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am a big fan of Lucidchart but would share two modest concerns: I have benefited from having changes saved automatically, as documents are updated but, unfortunately, the feature has prevented me from reverting to or revisiting previous versions; it can be helpful to number the shapes in a flowchart but, unfortunately, that is a manual and time consuming process in the most current version of Lucidchart.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I rely on Lucidchart flowcharts and sequence diagrams to illustrate that I have listened carefully and confirm that I have learned from my clients during requirements gathering sessions. In addition, I use LucidChart to draw site maps and data models which help to reinforce recommendations for improving business processes and architecting applications and databases.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Excellent alternative to MS Visio, particularly when working on teams that are distributed geographically and have not standardized on a single productivity suite or operating platform.

Lucid Chart

  • March 24, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

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.

Flexible diagramming solution on any platform

  • March 24, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Works in any browser on (almost) any computer. I work in a heterogeneous computing environment and I travel, a lot, so being able to access all of the diagrams on any computer is incredible valuable to me.
What do you dislike about the product?
A little clunky UI sometimes with lots of wasted space. If they could make better use of space it would be a tremendous benefit for those of us forced to use tablets, MS Surface, small form factor laptops.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used Lucidchart to clearly communicate the details of complex business problems. After meetings, it's easy for people to go away with different understandings of what was said. A single diagram of the discussed concepts makes the shared understanding of the group consistent and concrete.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You will leave behind some of the really intensely sophisticated features of products like Omnigraffle, but you'll find that speed and ease of use and deployment is worth it.

Great product!

  • March 24, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I'm a graduate student and I've used Lucidchart for many class assignments. It's simple, elegant and intuitive to use, allowing me to easily create great looking flow chards and logic models. Highly recommended!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that it were easier to change the orientation of the flow (e.g. if I created a flowchart in landscape and want to switch it to portrait). Perhaps this functionality exists somewhere, but I find myself having to move a lot of things around to accomplish this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm learning about user experience design and research, and Lucidchart has given me the ability to better visualize the ways in which my user's experience will unfold.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for visualizing user experience processes.

What do you dislike about the product?
I have never been disappointed when I use this application.

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.

Two Completly Different Types of Projects, One Application

  • March 24, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I originally used this program to visualize databases for my programming needs and it worked great for that. But then finding out that you could use it for floor layouts, it became very handy when I was buying furniture for a room in the house and seeing how I could layout the rooms in multiple ways. I have only had it for a little bit but I'm sure Ill find other ways to the use this application for other problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
When using the ERD diagrams, I was hoping there would be another section for a navigation properties that I could visualy see better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
How to visualize Entity Related Databases. The amount of pre registered modules I could choose from.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at the different scenarios you could use this application for.

Year and a half with Lucidchart

  • March 24, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Essentially the combination of both UML, relational and UI mockups all in one place. I can use Lucidchart for all phases of development without need for other analytical tools.

And then I can both collaborate with others and present my stuff with Lucidchart.

Also recently the integration with google documents, its extremely easy just sketch something and paste it into documentation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Iam all happy. I would preffer to have "prettier" UI elements. Also instead of image object, some mock image would be perfect. Maybe even some basic styling to be added, so I can present not only structure, but also a basic view (but without a need to write any css or stat stuff).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Application development, mainly gaming, gambling and shopping. Analysis and then management of a team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Dont worry about the switch, once you are there you have everything always accessible and on one place.

Wonderful tool

  • March 24, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

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.
