Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Lucid Software, diagrams.net and others in Mind Mapping Software."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."
"One of the features that I really like is the collaboration aspect of it. During the pandemic, it's very important that we're able to collaborate virtually."
"It is important that Lucidchart accommodates both Mac and PC users because if you support Mac, that means you also support the mobile applications on the iPad... Some of the other employees have access to an iPad, but not all of them do. When we're trying to talk through a process with them on-the-fly, or at the point of occurrence, it's so much nicer if we can both have it up on the iPad. That's why I would say the Mac support is essential."
"The interface is easy for a layperson to use and adapt to."
"In general, the usability is great. You have a ton of customization options with different colors, different borders, different thicknesses of lines, different types of arrows, et cetera. There's so much variety. You can really make a chart with all sorts of color-coding, and color charts in different colors, link them together, for example, or use different types of arrows for different types of links between the chart elements. That variety, while not a specific feature, is really useful. If you want to make a chart, you can basically do anything."
"Creating flowcharts and documentation is easy to do and the results are very nice."
"Documenting things such as processes, systems, and new teams has been my primary use case. Lucidchart is really, really valuable for its ability to create a process chart from start to end. The web app makes it easy because everything is similar to other tools like Visio but Lucidchart feels a little bit more intuitive. It has been easy to use the web app. I definitely have learned a lot about how to bring in my own graphics or images in place of some of the shapes and I'm able to create and use the arrows within the processes, so it definitely has been useful for me."
"For documenting processes and systems, I would rate the solution a nine out of 10. I'm not aware of any other software that is as usable as this, because of the templates. They make documenting these things really easy."
"It helps clients find information when they need to know how to do their jobs effectively."
"It tends to get more engagement from people across the business."
"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."
"The main improvement I would like to see is for them to improve the help section on the flow charts or on the formatting."
"The layering is something that can be improved because sometimes, it is confusing for me when I'm trying to get to the layer that I want to edit."
"Although it comes with a lot of pre-existing tools, it would help if it had some more design templates. By now, they must know what kinds of things people are trying out, and that should help them create more templates. I would also like to see a little more automation."
"As far as I know, LucidChart can’t be automated with Visual Basic .Net like Visio."
"I would like an on-premises version of the software that I can just download and use. I think that it's easier that way."
"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."
"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."
"This product could probably do with less features rather than more. It is overly complicated. In recent releases, it has become harder to use."
