Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Lucidchart's capabilities for understanding workflows is high. I use a couple of different programs, like MindManager, and what I like about using Lucidchart is that it is all web-based. So, I can quickly go into a web browser, drag and drop a bunch of files, pictures, or notes, draw some flow lines, and rapidly be able to create a visual representation of what I am trying to do. As a product manager, I can quickly organize thoughts that way and show people what we are working on.""It is a very effective tool for documenting processes and using it has improved our efficiency significantly.""The best part of Lucidchart is its comfortableness when sharing it with my teammates. Lucidchart provides me a folder for my ERD. I can make a dozen lists of my chart, then share them with my teammates easily through the diagrams of Lucidchart. This is their main comfortableness, which is the reason why I choose Lucidchart rather than some other chart program.""Lucidchart's ability to create a visualization that people prefer to look at, over reading written documents, has definitely saved me a lot of time. Moreover, it has helped to make my code bug-free because I no longer have broken endpoints.""The ability to have more than one person editing at the same time is the most valuable feature. You can have one diagram and have multiple users on it at the same time. We haven't been able to do that on other software. So that's the main reason we moved to Lucidchart.""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.""I like the panel on the left of the screen that has all of the shapes that are available to use in the charts. It's easy to use because you can just drag and drop.""The interface is very user-friendly and it is not a hassle to use the site at all. They did a really good job in that regard."

"Integrations with so many other tools make this platform highly useful.""Online Collaboration made it easy to brainstorm."

Cons
"One downside is that you can only modify things online, but when you download work, you download it as an image. It would be useful to have an option to modify it locally.""In terms of improvement, there can be more templates. There are good templates but there could still be more.""Wireframing can be improved. For mock-ups and wireframing, only 10% of what is required is there. If they can develop this feature, it would be much better because it will then provide everything. Currently, we can design network diagrams, processes, etc., but we should also be able to do wireframing.""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.""It would be helpful if there were different options available for organizing the folders, such as having a high-level display with pictures.""One of the issues has been that, as far as I understand, even to view it, the other person needs a Lucidchart account unless you send them a PDF. That's been a bit of an issue because some people in our organization don't have Lucidchart accounts, only certain people have logins. If we just want to collect comments from people, that's been a bit complicated.""It might already exist and I haven't used it, but in terms of improvement, I would like a hot-key system for some of the diagrams to auto-generate things a bit quicker to be able to produce charts a lot faster, or have more standard templates that you can just go to if you're trying to generate something quickly."

More Lucidchart Cons →

"Maybe at some point, Miro should be able to use AI to provide analysis from the brainstorming sessions or files fed into it.""It should have a desktop version."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing comes in at about $100 for a year's subscription, which is very reasonable if this is a tool that you will use more than once."
  • "The pricing and licensing are fine, though I wish they didn't require you to buy the licenses in batches of five."
  • "The pricing and licensing are fine. It has a lot of features that I prefer over some of the other programs, which is good. Being that it is web-based, I feel that it is acceptable that it's on a monthly pay basis. However, I think I pay on an annual basis, which is fine with me."
  • "I'm happy with the pricing of Lucidchart but I can't say I'm completely happy with it. It could be cheaper for what it offers, about $5 cheaper, or Lucid could charge $5 more and add more features, like automation. Right now, it's $15 per user per month... On the other hand, they have made their billing super-easy for users, such as for people who have to do expense reports. It is probably the easiest platform I'm using when it comes to billing for software as a service."
  • "We chose Lucid based on the price comparison between it and draw.io... Lucidchart was about 15 percent cheaper per user... I was surprised to learn that it came with a separate subscription model and was not included in my existing Lucidchart subscription."
  • "The pricing is very reasonable, and they have a free trial available that you can play with."
  • "Pricing-wise, it is pretty fair. I don't really know what group pricing looks like, but right now, I pay $10 a month for my Lucid subscription. One thing I would say is that I do worry about my bosses being okay with paying $10 a month for every single employee because we would have around 20 people. It makes me a little nervous about whether they are going to pay $200 a month for people to be able to use this software. At the same time, from where I'm sitting, it's totally worth it. We save a thousand dollars from using this software. It's still a no-brainer."
  • "I have a subscription as an individual user for one year, and it is not expensive."

    Our online diagram application makes it easy to sketch and share professional flowchart diagrams.  From brainstorming to project management, we support all of your communication needs. That’s why millions of users choose Lucidchart.

    Miro is a collaborative online whiteboard platform that enables teams to work together remotely, brainstorm ideas, and visualize concepts. With its intuitive interface and extensive range of features, Miro has become a popular tool for remote teams, designers, and educators.

    One of the key features of Miro is its vast library of templates and widgets, which allows users to quickly create various types of visual content such as mind maps, flowcharts, wireframes, and user journey maps. These templates provide a starting point for collaboration and help teams to structure their ideas effectively.

    Miro also offers real-time collaboration, allowing team members to work together on the same board simultaneously. Users can leave comments, mention team members, and have discussions directly on the board, eliminating the need for lengthy email threads or separate communication tools.

    The platform also integrates with popular tools like Slack, Jira, and Google Drive, making it easy to import and export content from other applications. This seamless integration enhances productivity and ensures that teams can work with their preferred tools without any disruptions.

    Furthermore, Miro provides a range of interactive features that enhance collaboration and engagement. Users can add sticky notes, create voting sessions, and conduct remote workshops using Miro's built-in video conferencing capabilities. These features make it easy for teams to brainstorm ideas, gather feedback, and make decisions together, regardless of their physical location.

    In addition to its collaborative features, Miro also prioritizes security and privacy. The platform offers enterprise-grade security measures, including data encryption, access controls, and compliance with industry standards like GDPR and SOC 2. This ensures that sensitive information remains protected and confidential.
