Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Lucid Software, diagrams.net and others in Mind Mapping Software."Lucidchart's capabilities for visualizing and understanding process flows or workflows is excellent. The way that you put together the parts of charts and edit the chart are all very intuitive and easy to use."
"Documenting complicated workflows and technology integrations so that we can go back to it has also been a benefit. And without having to dig into a lot of technical, the codes, the documents, I can simply understand on a high level what's happening."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use, and just being able to drag and drop."
"In general, this product has improved our organization because it makes accessing up-to-date processes and planning a lot easier."
"Easy to work on."
"Lucidchart is a lovely tool for creating visual representations of any process or organization."
"We are using Lucidchart a lot for documenting things, such as processes, systems, new teams, etc. Its ability to document processes is great. Some of the major pluses are the sheer number of templates and the flexibility in the types of things that you can document. This is a benefit because we are able to structure it in whatever format we want. So, we can take a template that maybe was designed for something different and not have to create it from scratch. We just modify it for our purposes."
"I love the fact that you can just integrate a drawing into Google Slides. I build a lot of visuals in Lucidchart, and then, rather than sharing them directly from Lucidchart, I just build Google Slides decks for senior management, and I link the Lucidchart on the cloud version to a slide image. That makes it easy. This way, I can build in one tool and show in another."
"The solution is the best application for data modeling. It helps to architect business processes. Its best features are pricing and functionality."
"The solution is stable. It hasn't crashed, stopped or caused any issues in any way."
"Stable design software with multiple functions and features. It's simple to install and easy to use."
"The solution is very user-friendly. It's easy to just open it and start working."
"What I like best about Visual Paradigm is its simple GUI, especially since I'm a new user. In my two years of experience with this tool, I didn't find it complex because I was able to learn how to use it via YouTube videos. Visual Paradigm is enough for me. I also find the bridging feature in the tool valuable."
"The Visual Paradigm business process forms for designing we good. There was not a lot of configuration for the process diagram."
"It is easy and intuitive to use, not excessively rigid, and quite flexible."
"I find it very user-friendly for my purposes, which is creating business process models that I can publish as HTML pages. It has worked flawlessly for my project, and my clients are able to utilize it as an internal web portal for their process documentation and other needs."
"If it could be a little more visual, in terms of being able to make it stand out a little bit more, then that would be helpful."
"When you want to add text to a connector arrow, I have not figured out how to position the text vertically. It always wants the text to stay horizontal."
"There is a basic function that I struggle with, in the interface, which is having to switch between the editing and navigation modes. A lot of clicks are required when switching between edit and navigation modes and I think that many could potentially be avoided by handling the tasks at the same time."
"Lucid should create some proper documentation and video tutorials to demonstrate the capabilities of the product to new users. It should explain everything that it offers and everything that it can be used for."
"When I download a flowchart as a PDF file, it breaks it up. I would like to see the continuous display of flow charts, even if they are larger than one page."
"I'm not sure if this feature is already there, but it would be good if we can import a cloud database in the web version."
"I would like to have more text boxes to write more comments so I can write a small note below a picture. I would like some flexibility."
"Perhaps it already exists, but if there were software to install the solution on a Mac, that would be helpful. I see that it's not in the App Store, so that's something that could be improved."
"Visual Paradigm can improve by having better process mining tools and model integration."
"Takes up a lot of resources."
"I would like to see something for visualizing innovation work maps."
"It's still early for me to comment since I've only been using it for two months, but the responsiveness when diagramming needs to be improved."
"Visual Paradigm's initial deployment was difficult since we did it for the first time. It is challenging to learn to use the product."
"The solution could be more compatible with other products in the future."
"The user interface is not easy to navigate, so it should be made easier."
"The solution can be heavy on resource usage."
