Features of Lucidchart
Reviews of Lucidchart

A dream compared to Visio
Comments: Lucid has been a pleasure to work with, they incorporate the latest features and are constantly improving the product. They also provide excellent support with great resources and excellent training for the products.
Pros:
I like the ease of building flows and drawings. All the tools are readily available and visible and intuitive to work. I especially love the templates and the breadth of areas they cover.
Cons:
It takes users a little bit of time to become proficient with the interface as most are coming from tools like Power Point and are not used to moving the canvas along with moving objects. Once this is overcome the tool is a breeze to use.
Alternatives Considered: Visio
Switched From: Visio
Reasons for Switching to Lucidchart: Visio provided more features at a similar or lower price point than licensing Visio Professional
Very useful chart creation tool
Comments: Overall very pleased, I only use it when for very specific purposes but when I do find a suitable task, Lucidchart is the way to go.
Pros:
The ability to create very visually interesting and useful charts to convey ideas and present decision trees. It is far easier for the specific goal of flow charts and decision trees, especially compared to powerpoint which I previously used. Also easy to export diagrams to PDF or as images
Cons:
The control isnt always very intuitive, like I wish there was a style method to make the entire chart or diagram in a consistent design. Or maybe enforcing a grid structure if desired. Sometimes rigidity could be good. This may have existed but I did not see it intuitively.
Lucidchart review
Pros:
It is available for free to use for students and it offers very creative ways to visualise and help mr as a researcher to organize my ideas in a meaningful way and identify gaps and bottlenecks
Cons:
one area that I think could be improved is the user interface because at some times it feels cluttered and overwhelming. Simplifying the layout and making key features more accessible could enhance the overall user experience. Also, i have noticed that the performance can slow down with larger or more complex diagrams, which can be a bit frustrating and impact productivity.
Lucidchart for the win!
Comments: Fantastic! I cannot recommend enough. I was introduced to it through LEAN training and man oh man has it changed the way I do things. When processes get bogged down, I go to Lucidchart and map them out. This allows me to track wasted effort make small improvements with my team -- and the process map is its own road map!
Pros:
Lucidchart is an incredibly valuable tool for productivity and efficiency -- without sacrificing the human element. We use process maps a TON in my org, and Lucidchart makes it so simple!
Cons:
There's a small (and I mean really small) learning curve to figure out how everything is supposed to work, but it's pretty straight forward and their tutorials are great.
Lucidchart your heart out!
Comments: Love it! I've gone back to this time and time again and this has never disappointed
Pros:
A fantastic website which allows you to use different functions to create various documents and diagrams. I have created multiple documents such as Strategy alignment chart and it didn't take long at all to do it.
Cons:
This does have a limit of 3 live documents per free user. Increasing will certainly bring more people to use this.
Build Processes the Lucid Way
Comments: Wonderful experience using this tool to build my process flows faster and easily with simplistic structures for my manufacturing processes and standardize them across orgs.
Pros:
The easy but advanced level of functionality compared to MSFT Excel which helps me create my process flows in a more enhancing manner which are easy to understand for my users.
Cons:
Some times the templates are too confusing and have a hard time formatting them in the manner I want.
Alternatives Considered: Visio
Reasons for Switching to Lucidchart: Lucidchart was a cheaper deal and within our budget range plus it provides a different user interface approach which is restricted in Visio, like the team editing function.
Perfect for projects
Comments: A useful tool that has helped create logic flow.
Pros:
The ability to create large scale flow charts in a single screen.
Cons:
Some of the user experience could be made easier.
Great Product
Pros:
i like you can upload an staff list into the system and it will create the org chart. I also love the drag& drop as it makes life easier when creating floor plans
Cons:
nothing really, I like the product it does everything we need at a fraction of the cost compared to visio.
Best Diagramming Tool
Comments: Best tool available in the market to Draw diagrams , great tool to draw diagrams for meetings , product demos .
Pros:
Best tool to create diagrams and flowcharts , Super easy UI , Ability to do draw multiple diagrams and charts.
Cons:
Basic versions have limited functionality , Some key figures are missing for Network diagrams
My go to tool for diagrams
Pros:
Very appealing UI, encouraging to explore the tool, easy to start using the tool
Cons:
the only downside is limitations around objects in one file with free plan, but it is still enough to explore the tool capabilities
With zero doubts, Lucidchart is the most intelligent product for diagramming.
Comments: Lucidchart allows us to use intelligent tools to create diagrams and charts which has been a key game changer. The experience working with Lucidchart has been very rewarding to us. It makes it easy for us to create all sorts of diagrams and charts that help us visualize our ideas and plans to keep our work streamlined.
Pros:
One of the things i like most about Lucidchart is how easy it makes it to create charts and diagrams through drag and drop instead of programming. I also love how Lucidchart had a multi-user workspace that makes it easy to collaborate and work together with others when diagramming. Lucidchart has also impressed me with the AI diagramming tools which makes ot easy to create even the most sophisticated charts. It also had readymade templates that gave us a big head start when onboarding.
Cons:
Lucidchart has impressed in all areas. We have been fortunate not to have anything that is not liked.

Mapping diagram ideas into reality with Lucidchart.
Comments: Lucidchart is giving us an easy time creating visualization diagrams which makes it easy to understand the data at hand. It has been a very successful experience with the Lucidchart AI diagramming tools that allows us to give our diagrams stunning look.
Pros:
Lucidchart has a collaboration workspace that allows our team to work together on creating visualization diagrams. The AI diagramming tools help create diagrams with stunning visuals. There is a dedicated customer support team who shows great concern and handle our requests professionally.
Cons:
No cons for Lucidchart. It has impressed us in every possible way.

Diagram planning
Comments: The artificial intelligence technology included in Lucidchart makes everything easier to do, eliminating hours of work and reducing long processes that sometimes became boring
Pros:
By importing data, it is easier to create a diagram with real information and have a well-understood visualization. I can create diagrams as a team in real time to organize the information with my colleagues and have maps or diagrams in record time. The pre-designed templates make everything easier to do and I can have a broader inspiration and with the help of artificial intelligence
Cons:
I can't say something that I dislike because I have never disliked anything

Diagrams with artificial intelligence
Comments: Creating diagrams through Lucidchart saves me time and the final work is well done with the import of data that is well captured and a better organization of ideas to show
Pros:
Personally, creating diagrams was a topic that I was lazy to do because I couldn't unite the ideas I wanted to demonstrate through diagrams, so when I discovered Lucidchart it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I've been using it for years, where it has given me the simplicity of creating any type of diagram in a very correct and simple way. Also, the option of creating diagrams in real time with other people is the best, since we can help each other.
Cons:
I don't dislike anything, on the contrary, I like everything and it has been wonderful for me

Lucidchart is great for generating visual representations
Comments: Each member of my team can contribute to data visualizations in real time thanks to Lucidchart's built-in collaboration features. As a team, we can create data visualizations like charts and graphs, and everyone can see each other's changes in real time. This facilitates group input, reviews and approvals, as well as detailed explanations.
Pros:
One of the software tools I use at work is Lucidchart. It helps me draw data systems diagrams, which in turn helps me describe, organize, and convey data engineering work to my colleagues.
Cons:
Despite Lucidchart's diagramming templates, I've always felt that they fall short when it comes to most of the charts and data process maps we've created with Lucidchart. And that's how it's always been: many data graphs are completely hand-drawn.
Good for most needs
Comments: It's an excellent tool for presenting documents and tracking project requirements with outside contributors.
Pros:
Over a year ago, I used only Lucidchart for wireframing, process flow diagramming, and creating site maps for new website projects. The process flow diagramming and site map features and templates work really well and meet my needs more than other tools I've tried.
Cons:
There are better wireframing tools than this one, and I switched to using a different online service in the last six months. I am trying to remember if it has templates to kickstart a project, but I found the implementation of creating unique wireframes/screens to be cumbersome enough to look elsewhere.
Lucid Visualizes
Comments: A must-have tool for any team looking to elevate their communication and collaboration.
Pros:
Lucidchart has converted the way we visualize and communicate complex ideas. Its insightful drag-and-drop interface makes it easy to create stunning diagrams, flowcharts, and mind maps. The teamwork features allow our team to work together in real-time, making feedback and revisions a value add. Plus, the enormous library of templates and shapes means we can start creating instantly.
Cons:
Not really a finder of dark side of things
Great tool for diagrams and documentation
Pros:
The ease of use. The many advance features with layers etc. Easy to collaborate on diagrams as well. Possibility of integrations with API.
Cons:
Default styling/design of diagrams could look better. It would be great with some templates/styles that looks modern out-of-the-box. That said they are still doing better in this area than many other similar tools.
Alternatives Considered: Visio
Reasons for Switching to Lucidchart: Works in a browser. More features and API.

Where function meets style almost perfect!
Comments: Stands out as a sophisticated tool for diagram creation, excelling in both functionality and design. With a few refinements to collaborative aspects, it could achieve an even more refined user experience. A solid 8/10, highly recommended for those seeking a visually appealing and functional diagramming solution.
Pros:
the app impresses with its seamless integration of functionality and design. The user experience is characterized by an intuitive interface that facilitates efficient diagram creation and collaboration.
Cons:
There's room for enhancement in terms of collaborative features. While the current setup is effective, expanding collaborative capabilities could further elevate the app's utility for teamwork.
One of the best web application for graphics as well as overall product.
Comments: Really when i design a architecture on that time with Azure i am able to paste the logo and that my product so efficient and productive.
Pros:
The Lucidchart comes with a free and it was available for everyone, when it comes for enterprise version , they provide several things like save multiple project with a single account and one admin should able to add the users and delete the users. The most likely part is the Smooth UI and able to identify Logo.
Cons:
Overall Cost which comes as main factor but the UI is really so amazing,

Lucidchart Positive Review
Comments: Great experience, its lightning years into the future compared with other diagraming tools.
Pros:
Lucidchart is a great tool for diagraming and processing visual conceptualization, its drag and drop capabilities make it extremely easy to use and understand.
Cons:
Lucidchart’s freemium plans could broaden the scope of users and user base currently using the platform, this to improve connectivity and shareability of docs created in the platform.
Capterra Lucidchart Review
Pros:
Everything - it's functionality, design, and variability in options!
Cons:
There isn't anything I can think of that makes Lucidchart a con.
Intuitive and Versatile
Pros:
Lucidchart is a powerful tool for creating diagrams and visual workflows. I love how intuitive and easy it is to map out complex ideas with its drag-and-drop interface and vast shape library.
Cons:
Some advanced features can feel a bit clunky, and collaboration tools could be more seamless. Overall, it's a great tool for visualizing processes efficiently.
Great free version
Comments: I use the free version due to it costing more than i will get use from, but this version gives enough features to do a good few charts before needing to purchase
Pros:
great templates to use. It made chart making quick and easy. The end designs looked professional
Cons:
The costs of the paid version/ It was not value for money for the amount of charts i was making

Lucidchart is with us
Comments: We use for software teams about describe with diagrams data structure, flowchart anche free schema. And we can work together with focus and speed
Pros:
Function of import is very very rich from picture and text to, SQL, scv, and other
Cons:
Sometimes you loose the way because so much feature
