I also use LucidSpark, which is another tool that helps with brainstorming. Particularly in my role as an infrastructure manager for the region, I need to work on strategies. There are always a number of challenges, particularly during the transformation stage. I'm required to bring in the right products and the right skills. When I am stuck and face a blank, LucidSpark helps me to move forward.

The functionality for documenting things like processes is excellent. The templates are already available and all you need to do is bring one in and use it. This saves a lot of time and effort in terms of documentation, and you can export it to any format you need. It allows us to give our reports a professional touch.

I have used LucidChart to create a database schema for one of my colleagues. It supports the notations that we use, such as one-to-many, many-to-many, and others. There is support for components such as private keys, foreign keys, and other such definitions. It is something that is easy to do.

In terms of integrations, we use Microsoft teams as our platform for communication and I was able to successfully integrate it with LucidChart. The one limitation with teams is that people have to be comfortable with viewing things on a web browser.

Using this product brings up the wow factor when I present my ideas. I don't have to rely on PowerPoint presentations, which is another skill. The graphical representation also makes it more open to peer contribution and focusing on a problem.

This product has improved our collaboration and we now do it in a much better way. However, we do not yet have several people collaborating on the same version of a document at the same time. For example, earlier today I was working on a project with infrastructure managers from several regions. We were all on a call and I presented my thought process and ideas. I was the only contributor and I shared my screen. Although I was getting opinions from people, I was doing all of the work on the board. Ideally, people would treat it like a working session and do things like putting sticky notes on the board. In the future, having this type of collaboration would be great.

The plan is to let people know that the option for this type of collaboration is available, and have people come forward to contribute. This way, we start thinking and doing transformation on a different scale.

I can see that using LucidChart is going to save us time in project development, collaboration, and brainstorming. I can't estimate exactly how much it will save us without first having a baseline, although I can say that without the tool, ideation would take me approximately five times longer. The time it takes to complete a project has been drastically reduced.

With respect to documenting processes, Lucidchart has been very helpful, especially for our team in a remote setting. We've tried other platforms and by far, Lucidchart has been the most beneficial to us, especially since it's been integrated into our organization. We're able to work cross-functionally on various projects, even outside of our team.

My impressions of Lucidchart's capabilities for visualizing and understanding process flows have been really good. It's pretty straightforward and Lucidchart does a really good job at simplifying the process flows for the end-user in a very digestible format. You don't need to have a project management background to understand the flows. It comes down to ease of use, and the fact that it can present things in a very digestible format has been very beneficial.

It is important to our organization that Lucidchart accommodates both Mac and PC Users because we have hybrid users who might prefer to use one over the other, or both. Due to the nature of our organization, we definitely have Mac users but for the most part, we use PCs. That said, having Mac users adds a little more credibility.

In our collaborative efforts, people simultaneously access and work on the same version of a document. In addition, we have other team members that are working on various process flows. The real-time updating allows us to drill into documents in real-time, and pick up where people leave off. The related security feature is also very beneficial, as you can prevent users from editing the document if you don't want them to, while at the same time, giving them visibility.

This ability has enhanced our project development process because it allows us to meet and work on the same document in real-time if needed. If there are any takeaways or any additional work that needs to be done on a particular document, the ease of use allows us to do that.

The real-time collaboration capability definitely saves us time. I would estimate that we save at least 15% of the time that it would take otherwise.

The ability for people to look at a diagram, rather than reading through written documents, is another way that we have saved time. It is difficult to estimate how much money this may have saved but we do work at a very visual organization where people prefer diagrams and visuals, rather than written or documented processes. As such, it's definitely saved us time, especially when it comes to explaining what the process is. The visuals definitely help.

Lucidchart helps us to realize efficiencies in the projects that we use it for. We're working on a Workday implementation, and one of the key reasons for using Lucidchart is to make the information that we're passing along to our end-users a little more digestible. By using Lucidchart, we can explain our process flows visually, and this has definitely saved us time.

I'm a consultant and a lot of the work that I do is around building the flows. Lucidchart provides the ease of use for building the flows, and then I am able to showcase them in other environments such as Google Slides.

The ability to produce a cool diagram that looks very pretty in a short period of time is the number one asset. I have built process flows. I have created a couple of diagrams for senior executives, and they have been received pretty well. Obviously, they are not very rich because I only started using it a few weeks ago.

It accommodates both Mac and PC users, but because I'm using it in Chrome, to me, it is seamless whether I'm on a Mac or a PC. It supports all the different shortcuts that I would normally expect.

The ability for people to look at a diagram rather than reading through written documents has saved time, and as a result, money, but it is hard to quantify. A picture tells a thousand words, and a lot of my success so far in promoting this is because I've been able to take very wordy slides and transform them into something that is visual. I am able to tell a better story to senior management with visuals rather than just a bunch of text. It helps to turn information that is very textual into a visual component. People are getting the information in a way that they can understand. The fact that you're able to tell a better story and people like it has immeasurable gains.

Lucidchart is really useful for mapping out processes, even if you're just trying to think about how to write them out or relay an idea to other people. Being able to draw it out is very helpful.

The organizational charts for visualizing and understanding hierarchies and relationships are very simple to draw out, then share and quickly make edits, according to feedback.

Lucid's capabilities for visualizing and understanding process flows are good, as you can use layering on top of your ideas. There are also so many templates that I can start with, I don't have to start from scratch when trying to visualize the concept. It's very easy and clean to use.

I collaborate with other team members for assessments of clients' customer success teams, playbooks, and education. The ability to do this absolutely makes our process faster, mainly because you can visualize what you're trying to say, so people understand it faster.

I'd say that it cuts the amount of time we spend in half because you don't have to write emails back and forth. You can see what they've changed, even in real-time.

Using this platform has helped me to realize efficiencies because I can visualize what I'm trying to tell the person. Instead of writing it out or taking a long time trying to figure out how to do it in PowerPoint, I can just drag and drop so many different images to convey what I want to say into one page, as opposed to taking multiple pages or wasting time trying to figure out which icon or how to draw something out when they already have templates in there.

It's filling a gap where we can better visualize our engineering processes and architectures within our Atlassian tools.

It provides real-time collaboration among users so that everyone is accessing and working on the same version of a document. Although we rarely use it in that way. Unlike sharing a spreadsheet that is being filled in by multiple people or something like that, usually editing diagrams isn't something we're doing at the same time.

It hasn't affected our project development process. For other tools, having simultaneous collaborative access is great, but for diagramming, it wasn't really a necessity for us. And I think that is mostly because we access Lucidcharts through a plugin, through Confluence, as opposed to logging into Lucid and then using that as a primary tool.

The ability for people to look at a diagram rather than reading through documents has saved time. They can look at a diagram to better understand something as opposed to reading words. That's kind of an abstract idea. I can't put up a price tag on it. There are probably tens of hours saved on managing the ERD diagrams and specifics since the automation is there for that.

It helped us to realize efficiencies in our projects.

It is excellent for documenting things such as processes, systems, etc. We have a guy who is a salaried commission salesperson who was doing very dry due diligence work on real estate deals. I took what he was doing and mapped it out so that a $12 an hour temp person can do it. It is very good for that. It is also good for mapping out things like marketing campaigns to explain to clients. I also run an agency on the side, so having here's what we're going to do and let me visualize it for you has been extremely useful as well.

It is important for us that Lucidchart accommodates both MAC and PC users. We have a mix at our current company, and I have guys who work from an iPad. We're currently in the process of transitioning everyone to MAC. It has been a headache because some of the software products that we can get on a Windows computer are not available for MAC. We're a construction company first and foremost, and a lot of construction software is designed around Windows. Lucid is a huge part of my day-to-day work. I use it almost every day. It is very helpful that it is web-based, and it accommodates both MAC and PC users. 

The ability for people to look at the diagram rather than reading through written documents has absolutely saved so much time, and as a result, money. For our due diligence process, I can't give a written manual to the kind of employee I have for this work and expect that employee to follow it. There's no way. Without Lucidchart, the whole project of having that employee do due diligence kind of dies because I don't have a way to show them that this is how to follow this workflow. If I'm paying somebody $12 an hour, I'm not going to expect them to be proficient at reading a technical manual. That would be a huge learning curve, but almost anyone can read a flow chart. I worked at fast food when I was 16, and I had flow charts on how to do stuff. You can give that to somebody who's very low-skilled and have them working above their skill level. It is a tool for employee growth in a way because you're able to give somebody a task that might be out of their pay grade and grow them into that role because you're able to explain it more simply.

It has definitely helped us in realizing efficiencies in our projects. Just yesterday, I was working on this due diligence project. We buy land, and when we get any land under contract, we have a period of time where we have to go and assess the land and decide if we want to buy it. It seems like you have to be an expert to do it, but it's really following a mental checklist. I got with my guy who does that, and I said, "I need you to tell me every question that you need to be answered in order to tell me if we can buy this land." He was like, "Well, this one, no." I was like, "No, you need to tell me every single question, and we'll get it on the chart." Doing that, I realized that sometimes, he's sending people out to look at stuff that he knows we can't build on. I was like, "They shouldn't be going out to look at that if you know that we can't build on it." That's an employee who is more highly paid than the person is who is going out to look at the land. That person is wasting two to three hours of their time to drive out and look at a lot that may not be buildable. That was just yesterday, and that's going to save us thousands of dollars. That's a huge time saving, which is time and money.

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.

I do more show and tell with it. We don't really collaborate too much. We are mostly just sending, "Here is where we are right now with this." We don't really collaborate on the same document, which I know could be a really powerful function. We just don't use it that way yet. 

This is a very professional tool to use for business.

Lucidchart's capabilities for visualizing and understanding process flows are very good. There are tools included that you can't find in other applications, such as Photoshop or Google Docs. These tools are very helpful when it comes to completing the task.

I have used the solution to modify existing data structures but I would only rate it as a six out of ten in its capabilities. One of the more technical people on my team said that he wasn't able to solve or achieve some of the things that he wanted to be able to do with respect to data structures.

We integrated Lucidchart with Photoshop and it meant that we were able to move files from one to the others. There was one file that we couldn't complete using Lucidchart, so we moved it to Photoshop and finished it there.

GitHub is another solution that we integrated with Lucidchart, and it was helpful because we were able to transfer files that were related to programming. We are building organization software that uses a chart flow, and it was designed using Lucidchart.

Generally speaking, Lucidchart made it easier to complete my workload. I had used Photoshop for certain things and I found it difficult to use, so I was looking for good software that was both straightforward to use and could handle my workload.

It makes it easy to get things done quickly. That was the only reason why we asked our management to get Lucidchart. With draw.io, it is impossible to get things done quickly. Lucidchart keeps your peace of mind. It is very annoying when you're trying to do simple things, and they don't happen easily. 

I have briefly used Lucidchart to collaborate with users in real-time so that everyone is accessing and working on the same version of a document. It saves time. The saved time is proportionate to the number of people collaborating. It isn't linear. draw.io also has a similar feature for collaboration, so it isn't a feature that makes Lucidchart stand out.

The ability for people to look at a diagram, rather than reading through written documents, saves time. Yesterday, I presented a diagram that I created to our president and co-founder. He complimented that it looked good. Creating a diagram saved me 1,000 words in explanation. I can show the diagram and give a two-sentence description, and then just answer the follow-up questions.

It has helped us in realizing efficiencies in our project. There is a big difference in the ease of use of Lucidchart as compared to draw.io, which is probably the only sophisticated drawing tool that I've used before. The ease of use of Lucidchart is just incomparable.

Lucidchart has been an outstanding visualization tool when words aren't enough. Ensuring you understand your business' fundamentals is essential.

When I got hired at my company a month ago, I immediately went to the accountability truck that they had created. They used an Excel spreadsheet and it was so confusing because they had so many different boxes and nothing was color-coordinated. From an outsider looking in with no background knowledge of the company, it took me literally four hours studying their Excel spreadsheet to understand who answers to who, what role, and what job responsibilities each job has. I had to scroll way down or way over to see everything. What I liked about Lucidchart was that from a top-down view, I could see the entire organization and who's involved in what roles on one page.

You can't print on Excel. Excel spreadsheets are not friendly when it comes to printing something like that. Lucidchart offered a better viewpoint. I'm going to put seven or eight hours into a chart and everybody else is going to glance at it one time. If it's confusing, it's going to make it even worse. The final product seemed a lot easier to understand from Lucidchart.

The ability for people to look at a diagram rather than reading through written documents saves time and as a result, money. Everybody's been asking for Slack, Lucidchart, and our information with our company to be all in one place. I think it's going to help with communication and future involvement.

So far Lucidchart has helped realize efficiencies in the projects we use it for. For the project I've used it for so far it's been easy to understand. I've shown it to a few people who have never used Lucidchart and have never really seen our organization's accountability chart put together in one spot. We had three different Excel spreadsheets that were doing the work of one Lucidchart. The few people I've shown it to have really liked what they've seen so far. If I can learn more about it, gain more knowledge, and even somehow get certified in something with Lucidchart, I think it's going to help the organization as a whole.

We're a smaller company and we're trying to establish some roots. We want to get the sales flow and other aspects of the company down before expanding and trying to get new hires. 

Lucidchart is really beneficial because we've been able to establish what the criteria is going to be for everyone going forward with our company. It's been an easy process to make sure that it's a universal thing, we can all decide on what it's going to look like, and make sure when a new hire does come, they can see that chart and know exactly what to expect and know exactly what to do.

Our team asked me to create a data diagram for our applications. We have different tables in our applications and needed to come up with a diagram depicting the complete data structure in our applications, e.g., what are the different tables that we are using, what are the relationships between them, and how can we improve them. So, Lucidchart should easily help me to complete my work.

There are three more members on our team. We are sharing our document with team members, which is pretty good. Multiple users can add to it and comment on parts, e.g., whatever they want to ask. They can comment on the table structure or diagram. It is very easy to use. This real-time collaboration has saved us time.

I'm able to create a mock-up and then share that with a person on the other side of the world for his or her review and commentary. We're then able to easily understand how the mock-up or flow should work, based on sharing and using Lucidchart and the commenting back and forth between people.

The real-time collaboration among users, so that everyone is accessing and working on the same version of a document, has made it more efficient for multiple users within our organization to review the same mock-up or wireframes simultaneously, and comment on them to enhance or improve them. The real-time collaboration has saved us hours of time per week.

We also use the solution’s ability to compare versions of documents. It's important to understand who, on the team, is responsible or has version control. In sharing wireframes or mock-ups, referring back to previous versions or iterations has been helpful to understand how things have progressed to the current state. This feature is important to understand how a document or flowchart has continued to improve.

The ability for people to look at a diagram, rather than reading through written documents, has saved time and money, but at this point it's hard to put a dollar figure on it. 

An example of the kind of efficiencies it provides in projects is that it has saved us time in reviewing a mock-up for a mobile app. Being able to share those mock-ups back and forth between our product and development teams ensured that the mock-up was meeting the desired end-state. It probably saved us a day, eight hour's worth of time, over the course of the last two or three months.

My company uses Lucidchart way more in the product, tech, and other departments that work directly on our product. Being in HR, we only use it for a few things, however, I know that they use it for all sorts of flows and processes in terms of tech development. They do have it integrated with Jira, and I'm sure that they make use of that integration as well.

Lucidchart enables me to put down on paper what I was visualizing in my head. It makes it more shareable than only using words.

The real-time collaboration within Lucidchart saves time. It keeps things centralized to the subject matter so I'm not having to go dig something out of email or to look for things in some other tool we utilize.

It is good for documenting things such as processes, systems, new teams, etc. It clearly explains the roles, actors, their responsibilities, and provides a high-level view of any architecture system. It makes it easy to explain, elaborate, and edit on the go. I would rate it an eight out of 10 in this aspect.

We can't draw everything from scratch all the time. Sometimes, we need to reuse something that is already present. We also have some legacy frameworks that we need to edit. Lucidchart helps in such cases by allowing us to import those legacy diagrams. From there, we can move to new inputs or new technology.

We are using Lucidchart to collaborate with others on a daily basis. It reduces the clashes that we have during the discussions through phone calls. When we share the screen and collaborate, everyone gets to know what the other person had on the mind, which is a good thing. It helps in comparing different things and eliminating what is not required.

Its real-time collaboration saves time. Now, we can complete our discussions within 15 minutes rather than an hour or an hour and a half.

The ability for people to look at the diagram created in Lucidchart rather than reading through written documents has saved time. It has saved one to two hours daily.

We use its integration with Slack. We have a lot of developer communities in Slack where they share pictures or diagrams. It has a plugin, and it is very easy to import or export to Slack instead of downloading on the system and uploading to Slack again.

I recently created a technology roadmap for our department, which is the finance department. We really needed a tool to be able to show what our current finance ecosystem looked like and what the future state would be. Lucidchart really allowed me to easily and independently create the before and after state so that our 10 person organization was able to visualize what our technology state is and actively collaborate on that. I was able to share the document as a PDF or as a web link. Being able to collaborate on that live was crucial for our 10 person organization.

The tool was able to let me do this particular project in half the time as Visio or half the time if I decided to do something old school in Excel. The tool is definitely empowering me to do my job more quickly and better.

Lucidchart provides real-time collaboration among users so that everyone is accessing and working on the same version of a document. 

It speeds up the product development process because everyone is able to access the document in real-time and there's no issue for version control because everyone is working on the latest and greatest version at all times.

It's saved about three hours in the past month because I don't have to flip back and forth on versions. I don't have to send versions. It really just allows everything to happen in real-time.

I don't use the integration with Slack but it's a great idea. I definitely could see myself integrating it with Slack. I think that's a great feature to take advantage of.

The ability for people to look at a diagram rather than reading through written documents saves time. To put a number on it, it has probably saved around two hours because someone doesn't have to pour through a written narrative or other loose documents. This definitely has saved a lot of time for us collaborating as a team.

It has definitely helped to realize efficiencies in the project that we use it for. It visually gives us an idea of how our technology should work. It gives us a great starting place from which to then project manage our development.

Lucidchart definitely helps us to realize efficiencies in the projects we use it for.

There is no alternative to Lucidchart if you want to describe a five-step process with bullet points. I believe every person who ever worked with PowerPoint on any type of documentation and then thought about which tool would actually help to describe what they're trying to do but without the words, would come up with Lucidchart.

I discovered Lucidchart by accident. Someone in my previous company had used it before. I requested access, found it useful, and tried to learn how the tool works. I knew from the beginning, once I learned how to use it, it would be the tool I would want to use forever. It helps every time I need to squeeze a huge amount of information into something short and simple. The flows and diagrams help with exactly that.

I have used Lucidchart to create database schemas and I think that it does the job pretty well. I've been doing that for a while now, and I don't have any issues with it. In this regard, it provides all of the functions that a business analysis or a developer might need, which is pretty good.

Creating process flows and workflows is one of my main use cases, and Lucidchart has everything that I need. This includes all of the different types of shapes, where every single one has a different meaning when I'm presenting a business process flow to a client. It covers this in all aspects. 

Lucidchart is integrated with the Atlassian suite of products. We will create different types of diagrams in Lucidchart and then embed them into Confluence when required. We also send out a link whenever we create a use case, which is then stored in Jira.

This integration is extremely important to us because we have the majority of our documentation in Confluence. Every solution that we design has a lot of technical documentation and at the end of the day, it is just words. However, with the help of the Lucidchart integration, we can properly visualize what is going on.

Lucidchart accommodates both Mac and PC users because you're using it out of a browser. I have used it on both of these platforms and ultimately, it really makes no difference which system you are using.

It is really helpful when you are able to visualize something rather than read documentation. It has certainly saved us a lot of time. I can't estimate how much money the company has saved but obviously, if it is saving time then it is saving money.

Lucidchart has helped to improve efficiency because we're able to pinpoint all of the moving pieces and components within a project. It shows where you can be more efficient because having it in a visual representation, points out which product and which solution can be broken down into simpler ones. It's really helped in designing a much more streamlined solution in software development.

Lucidchart is effective when it comes to reducing the time required to complete projects. It has reduced our efforts and time spent on decision-making, including time spent at both the requirements and presentation stages. I estimate that our efficiency has increased by at least 30% to 40%.

This is a good product for creating visualizations of process flow and workflows. I mostly use it to create process flows.

Many team members are able to work on the same version of the document at once, which is a feature that has helped to improve efficiency. It provides the ability to compare versions of documents but since all of us normally work on the same version, we do not leverage this feature often.

Presenting people with a diagram, rather than have them read through pages of written documents, has helped to save us time. It definitely saves us in terms of hours, but it is difficult to estimate how much it saves us in terms of cost.

Another way that Lucidchart has helped to improve our organization is that it has become a whiteboarding tool that we use in meetings. It has improved our communication and people can more easily understand how the different components of a system connect to each other. It has definitely enriched the experience of the client for which the solution is being developed. This is one of the value-adds that we get from using it.

We have a common place where we can collaborate and keep track of documentation. That has really been useful.

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.

The solution’s capabilities for visualizing and understanding process flows or workflows is pretty good. This is one of the primary functions that we use it for, and it has worked out really well. They have a lot of very intricate templates that fit different use cases, which definitely helps.

We don't necessarily do everything in real-time, but that clearly is important. The fact that we are all able to do it in real-time allows us to have a dynamic discussion around a topic, whatever we are discussing. That is the key. Otherwise, it would be, "Hey, review this document, and we'll hopefully talk about it later." The tool wouldn't be anywhere near as valuable if we didn't have this kind of core function, which has saved us a significant amount of time. Shuffling documents back and forth would have taken a lot longer.

I joined my new company at the beginning of May. I'm in HR, and it is called the People Performance and Culture (PPC) team. One of the things I was told to do was figure out the process flow for onboarding. Because it is APAC and we have some people in India, Japan, China, and Singapore, it was confusing to understand who comes under which part during onboarding. My manager wanted to make a process flow, so I decided to make a flow chart. I literally just searched for flow chart software or easy-to-use tools on the web, and I came across Lucidchart. I really enjoyed using it. I was quite quickly able to understand how to use it and get on with my process flow. This process flow has really helped all the regions in understanding how onboarding works across all the regions. In the future, we can easily see how the process works rather than thinking it is too complicated, and we don't want to get into it. It just makes things simpler. Now, more people use it, and obviously, I can add more features to it if I want to. I think we have used it for our org chart as well. We've just rolled out a new org chart. I wasn't part of that, but I can see that they've used Lucidchart for that.

It is very useful for documenting things such as processes, systems, new teams, etc. because it has everything. It is very easy to document, and it is very easy to see the date you created or gave access to something.

It provides real-time collaboration among users so that everyone is accessing and working on the same version of a document. This real-time collaboration has affected our project development process. I was able to get someone to look at the org chart while I was working on it. As opposed to making changes at the end, I could make changes as I was working on a document. Its real-time collaboration has saved us time. It has approximately saved an hour worth of work.

The ability for people to look at a diagram rather than reading through written documents has also saved time, and as a result, money. It has saved about an hour.

It has definitely helped us in realizing efficiencies in our projects. It has made everything more visual. Once things are more visual, it becomes easier for me to see whether there are glitches in the process, whether there is a better way of doing things, and whether we have too many steps for one thing. The visual aid has definitely helped us look at the processes in a different light.

We use Microsoft Teams in our company, and one of the reasons for using Lucidchart is that you can integrate it with Microsoft Teams. If I need to send somebody a document through Microsoft Teams, it is very easy. This integration is highly important for our operations because otherwise, we will have to use another solution or way to do the same thing. We are already using Microsoft Teams, so it is much easier to tag it on to Microsoft Teams.

The process mapping has improved my organization. It would have looked very messy to do it on Google Docs. We wouldn't have been able to cover such a range of things in our process mapping. We've managed to get in rows for different organizations and how they fit into the process mapping. We just wouldn't have been able to have space for that using Google Docs and it would have taken so long with the formatting.

It saves us about two hours. It only took us about an hour doing it on Lucidchart, so it probably would have taken about two and a half hours on Google Docs.

We use it to collaborate among users in real-time so that everyone is accessing and working on the same version of a document. It has been great for our project development process. In a way that's similar to Google. It's not that new for us, because we use G Suite throughout our whole organization. So we expect things to be able to do that because we do that a lot where we're all working on the same document at once. But in the same way that it does G Suite, it's really useful. It would be a real big drawback if we couldn't do that because you have to get the Word document, then you save your changes, then you send it back. It saves a lot of time being able to do it at the same time as someone else.

It's not necessarily saving time, but more saving the admin from sending it back and forth and trying to make sure that we're working on it at separate times. It probably would have taken us the same amount of time. It's more the ease of doing it.

It's hard to say whether it's saved money. It's definitely saved time. If you tried to put a process map in writing, I don't think anyone would read it. I don't know if it would save time and money, because no one would even look at it.

We're primarily using it for process mapping and it's much quicker than trying to do it in Excel. 

Doing things digitally means that if I'm on a Teams or a Zoom meeting, I can get input from people and they can see it as we go. I'm a pretty big user of whiteboards. I have two in my office and those are great. But what I hate sometimes is when it comes to, "All right, let's take this away. Let's run with it," I have to take a picture and send it out. Then, at nine o'clock at night, someone on the team will say, "Oh, I just thought of this step that we completely overlooked..." I can't do anything about it because it's on my whiteboard. But using Lucidchart, I've been able to say, "Okay, I've got my iPad, let me add that in really quickly." I like the convenience and the user interface.

It is so great for understanding process flows or workflows. With the prior training that I had, doing things on whiteboards and in Excel or Word to manually build stuff was clunky. Because it was clunky, it was slow. When it's slow and you have a meeting, you lose people's attention. Because this is fast and not clunky, people are able to say, "Oh, okay. This is the next step and the next step." I get better engagement and I get through mapping the processes quicker. Because it has the different shapes and the explanations of what things mean, I'm able to get more out of it. Visually it is the best application that I've used.

I'm also getting productive engagement and productive challenge from my teams. Someone will say, "Well, that step shouldn't really be represented by a diamond. It's more a case that somebody has to go and get things and that causes a delay, but it's not necessarily a decision because it's built into the process." 

Per week, I probably do two of these exercises, and each one would take three-plus hours to get through when dealing with some of our more complicated processes. Now, we can get them done in about an hour. That's a huge improvement because of the software itself, but it has also helped us to see, "Wow, we have a lot of excess steps and waste in our process." For example, we were working on it with a team over the last two days and we got two new maps up in the span of an hour and a half or two hours. We're getting much quicker at process mapping and understanding what we need to address.

Lucidchart has also helped with training and developing standard operating procedures. Before, we would just use a piece of paper, and maybe it would have a picture of what is going on. And on that piece of paper would be a list of sequential steps. We still have to do that for FDA regulations of having and maintaining SOPs. But having printed out flowcharts benefits us because you can just flip over the piece of paper and see, "All right, here are the four or five little steps I take before I get to a decision, and here are the two branches from that decision." That extra context helps us in building a development tool. And we can post the process flow map for, say, operating a hopper, right on the equipment. That way, people can see things. And if they need more context or deeper instruction, they can bring up the actual SOP with all the words. But a quick little chart that shows the flow: "This is what I do. This is what I do if this fails, et cetera," is something that we're getting a lot of immediate benefit from.

One way we benefit from it is that multiple different people can be working on a single document and they can also make comments from different points of the process. My manager will comment that something needs to change or be moved. Then I can edit that really easily, see exactly what they're referring to, and understand the changes. It's really collaborative as well.

For me, the biggest thing is that it has a really good visual representation of what's happening. It also easily exports to things like PDF and Microsoft Word so that you can send them easily. The collaborative element and how good the visuals are the best parts for me. I am referring to real-time collaboration among users and also comparing versions of documents.

Real-time collaboration has definitely saved us time. I haven't had to call people back and forth and make changes like that. Whereas we're both just editing in a single document. It saves around an hour or two a day.

The version comparison features are very important. I'll often analyze what the initial process is, and then how it's going to be in a new business situation. It's important to be able to see those changes because they need to be mapped in a different way for the original process. It's very useful.

Lucidchart has helped us to realize inefficiencies. You can see what seems like taking too long or what step in the process doesn't need to be there. It has definitely helped me to identify those and remove steps from a process, make recommendations to the client, and what doesn't need to be done or different areas that can be automated.

It makes collaboration easy. It makes presentation easy. The real-time collaboration is super-helpful.

It has saved me time on the order of 20 percent for project planning. Given that there are three people involved, a project manager and two project coordinators, that is significant because a project takes two to three months to plan.

Also, the ability for people to look at a diagram, rather than reading through written documents, has saved time.

Lucidchart is a free application and it is very helpful for documenting processes and workflows. It is very easy to use and it can assist in every possible way.

It's important that Lucidchart accommodates both Mac and PC users because due to today's technology, not every person is going to be situated on a Windows, or Linux, or iOS platform. Lucid's accessibility on any type of platform allows more users and therefore more downloads. With more users, it leads to more reviews. With the additional coverage and scrutiny, it means that the product will be expanded and better maintained. 

My classmates and I were using real-time collaboration and it had a positive impact on our development process. It made things very easy for everybody to understand and it was super helpful. 

The real-time collaboration saved me time, considering other projects took much longer. Lucidchart allowed me to enter information and shape my project very effectively, probably shaving off more than 20 minutes per chart.

I've used Lucidchart for a status report. I gave it a particular format and was able to set it up in minutes.

On my team, there are business and technical people who all are using Lucidchart. It gives us really clean, professional-looking diagrams that we have tried to make in PowerPoint. Also, if you can leverage their templates, then you aren't starting from a blank canvas.

We use it for a lot of things. It is the easiest way that we have found to document processes, and we have a lot of those. We do a lot of web architecture. It's also the easiest way to create those charts and work collaboratively, so multiple people can be in making edits. We use it a lot more than I thought we would.

We don't email documents around. Anybody can get in and make changes to the document that they need to. This is one of the key aspects of it, especially now we are all working remote and particularly when you're working on something like website architecture.

It has become a little simple and clearer to finalize things, like website architecture, by clearly sharing them with the client. So, they understand every page and where it fits into the site.

It is a faster way to do architecture. As far as having some project processes documented, you don't have to reinvent the wheel every time and ask a lot of questions about, "How do we do this?" That part of it is much more efficient.

Lucidchart has features for documenting things such as processes and the product is very nice in terms of creating the flowchart, but it appears to lack the ability to process handwritten or textual documentation. I'm not sure if this is possible, so I would rate the capabilities a seven out of ten.

This product has very good capabilities for visualizing and understanding process flows and workflows. I would rate it an eight out of ten in this regard because we can create very good process flowcharts.

Having people look at a diagram rather than read through written documents has absolutely saved us time and money. I estimate that it saves us two hours per week.

The look of the org charts and presentation of them to the management time is better and neater with Lucidchart. Things are more aligned; it's easier and quicker for me to create them. It used to take ages to make the boxes look the same and make the lines look the same.

This product has helped me to realize efficiency in the projects that I use it for, otherwise, I would not subscribe to it. I have explained to my HR department that it is easy to use and not very expensive.

I like Lucidchart's organizational charts for visualizing and understanding team hierarchies and relationships. I take instructions from the management team on how the charts should look, so I create them following their guidelines. In the past, this was a manual process. In Lucidchart, I don't copy the examples and use those, because I think every company has different ways of doing their org charts. However, I am able to create what I need.

In general, this product has improved our organization because it makes accessing up-to-date processes and planning a lot easier.

In terms of documenting things such as processes, systems, and new teams, it's easy to go in and share it with people as you're putting the process down. They can interact with it as well, and make changes at a later date. It stores all of these pages together under one folder and allows others to make changes, and it is also documented.

Lucidchart's capabilities for visualizing and understanding process flows and workflows are very good. There are lots of different shapes to use, they are easy to connect, easy to drag and drop, and the user interface is good. Changes and updates are also very good.

Overall, it's a very simple and very easy application to learn and also to use.

Lucidchart is integrated with Atlassian and it works fairly seamlessly. It's fairly important to our operation and the way it has been set up, I don't notice the integration.

Using Lucidchart for documenting processes is great. The elements are ready to use and it is quick to do. Sharing the chart with somebody else can also be very effective.

Using Lucidchart, I was able to save between two and three hours on my project. Using other software would have required some customization but Lucidchart has some ready-made functionality that made the design process very fast, as well as easy to use.

Having people look at a diagram, rather than reading through written documents, saves me between two and three hours for a small task that might take one or two days.

Before we had people on Visio and Lucidchart. Now we still have some people on Visio and we can seamlessly trade Visios between machines. I anticipate that we're all going to Lucidchart.

Lucidchart provides real-time collaboration among users so that everyone is accessing and working on the same version of a document. Most of what we do is document our platform and then change it to show what it would look like in the customer's world. We're a cloud company, and our customers want to know how they connect to our cloud. We changed those diagrams to show how things would fit into the customer environment, to go from access from the customer environment to ours, and we collaborate on that. We may have a voice architect, a data architect, and an end-user architect all on the same call, and we're chatting and changing things as we go, and sharing it through Zoom or doing it through version control. It really depends on what we're going to do.

The real-time collaboration has saved us time. I have collaborated on two diagrams so far and it made it easier.

The ability for people to look at a diagram, rather than reading through written documents saved time and as a result money. Nobody reads. People look at pictures. Imagine trying to read through a diagram that's typed out as an explanation versus looking at a picture. If you look at a picture you can just get it, but with a diagram, you just understand it right away because you can see where things connect. Trying to read that, the human brain doesn't work like that. We work looking at pictures and Lucidchart is a really effective tool to help illustrate those pictures, to explain very complex technical ideas to other technical people. We can do immediate sync and realize, "Oh, it connects like that. Okay. We're done. Next."

We're a cloud company, so we have to overcome technical objections to advance the opportunity and help the customer. If we make it right for the customer and we help them, the money comes. We don't need to focus on selling. We just explain, share, and solve, and then eventually money will come.

I was using Visio before because the benefits of graphic representation of data are obvious. The ability to import Visio diagrams is really helpful because a lot of customers that are on Windows are still on Visio. It's such a pain to install Visio on a machine. If it's a Mac there are requirements and it takes a lot of RAM and it bogs down a machine. This doesn't bog down anybody's machine. It's just to have this web.

Lucidchart helped us to realize efficiencies in the projects we use it for. I can show people pictures, and I can change things in a meeting and then email it by the end of the meeting. Because most places we go, especially now with everybody in-home office, I'm going to have great internet access, and that just makes it easier to be able to change things quickly while we're in a meeting and go, "Oh, you changed this. Oh, okay.", and then send it to them as a proof and send it as a PDF or send them a link. That works great. That saves time and accelerates a sale.

When we have target accounts, we really need to see and get a really clear overview of who's who, who does what, and who the champions are. Lucidchart has been in charge of that.

I have used Lucidchart's abilities to modify existing data structures. When I joined the company, they had existing account maps, and I was able to duplicate them and then tweak them to my needs. Lucidchart supports such processes very well. It is very user-friendly. It was easy for multiple users to collaborate on a single chart. Anyone can jump in and start adding and changing to an existing chart. All that activity is also trackable, which is helpful.

We have integrated it with Salesforce and G Suite. These integrations are important because when you make tweaks on Lucidchart, you want to make sure that those tweaks are also reflected on Salesforce and other solutions. You can update on one, and it gets updated automatically on the other and vice versa. These integrations are critical to what we do.

There is also integration with Slack, which is our main communication channel. It is definitely something we use more than email. Having this integration between Lucidchart and Slack really allows us to share documents for feedback. For example, I can share a Lucidchart via Slack with my boss, and then he would take a look at it and give me immediate feedback over Slack, which works in conjunction with the comments in Lucidchart. Basically, when I'm speaking with my manager, we communicate via Slack about the Lucidchart file, but when I'm speaking with my counterpart, who's working with me on the same account, then we would make the tweaks directly in Lucidchart. Slack just complements the collaboration that's within Lucidchart. It adds another layer for sharing with the wider organization.

Lucidchart provides real-time collaboration among users so that everyone is accessing and working on the same version of the document. This real-time collaboration is key because I would be on Zoom with one of my colleagues, and then we would jump into a Lucidchart file and start tweaking it as we go together.

It has definitely saved time. More efficiency gains are definitely there. It has cut our time. Previously, we used to create something in a PowerPoint or Keynote file, but they were just not as collaborative, dynamic, and adaptable as Lucidchart. In terms of numbers, it has saved us at least 20% of the time that would have been spent on other programs.

It has definitely helped us in realizing the efficiencies in the projects. It has made us more efficient as a team. The collaborative nature of it is something that's key to time-saving and being efficient in our workflows. Each of us manages multiple accounts, and it is just easier to keep track of things with Lucidchart.

The ability for people to look at a diagram rather than reading through written documents has saved time and, as a result, money, but I don't have specific metrics to show for that.

We are a very visual organization. We are an Agile team and we practice XP (extreme programming). When we were on the floor in the office, we used to use whiteboards to create and visualize flows. The whiteboard was always stuck in front of the team's table so that we would know where we were up to as a team and the decisions that had been taken on that flow. When we all started working from home, in March 2020, those meetings became extensive and intense. That resulted in a little bit of Zoom fatigue. Being on a call for so long ends up with people tuning out. That is when we started looking at products with infinite canvases, and Lucidchart came in handy. It enabled us, once again, to work as a team. We could sketch out ideas and brainstorm on things collaboratively and comment on things in real time. We could see where and how things are moving in real time. It almost emulates the in-person meetings. Of course, it cannot replace the feeling of being on the same board, writing with felt markers. But it's a good enough replacement. 

The team could not operate without it. We were actually collaborating on Google Slides, which sort of worked. You can obviously edit a Google document in real-time, but it did not give us the same feeling of an infinite canvas, where the team could contribute and people could express their opinions on every step. I wouldn't say it improved the processes that we already had in place, pre-lockdown, but once we started working from home, it certainly aided us in doing something that we used to do. 

The solution also helped us be more efficient because we were using Google Slides. It's efficient in the sense that the information is percolated to everyone better. Everybody is on the same page and that is the most important thing when you are in the development stage of a project. Having everybody rowing in the same direction is very important. With Lucidchart, there is a document that everybody is able to look at and contribute to at the same time. It maintains the document well and in a very lucid manner so that the decisions are very clearly chalked out. That improves efficiency. Every member spends less time figuring out in which document decisions were taken or where that email is where they can get a sense of what the outcome was of a certain meeting. Instead of that, they can just look at Lucidchart and get the answers.

It saves time and money, at the end of the day.

The ability for people to look at diagrams, rather than reading through written documents, saves time and money. It makes a presentation even easier to digest. It's faster.

It is good for documenting things such as processes, systems, etc. Typically, for each project, I'll start with a new file, and for each and every step, I create more sheets under the same file. It is similar to Excel where you have multiple sheets in the same file. It is an effective way for me. It is very convenient and easy to use.

It provides real-time collaboration among users so that everyone is accessing and working on the same version of a document. We typically organize a Zoom meeting at certain times, and I do screen sharing, and a few other people join in. We work together by using collaborative editing options. Not every person who has access to the collaborative option is very technical. Sometimes, they might unknowingly delete something. When more people are collaborating, they can mix things together. Such human errors will come up, but they happen because of the people who are collaborating and not because of the tool. 

The ability for people to look at a diagram rather than reading through written documents saves time. The clients get the reality of what we are doing, which we consider as important. We can show what we are really working on, and they understand. 

I do a lot of process flows and diagrams. It is very important for me, not only for process flows but also for network designing and other such things. It has been helpful for understanding process flows or workflows, and that's the main purpose for which I use it. I have to forward the software process or application process flow to my development team. For non-technical people, such as a client who doesn't know the technical terms, Lucidchart helps in more visualization. When I present it and explain the process, people can easily understand it. That's the main advantage of using this one. For technical people, I spent a few hours defining the process flow, and they can understand it in five minutes.

Lucidchart saved us around 90% time as compared to the other solution. When you use presentation slides, it takes so much time to create a proper design. You have to insert each and every shape, and you have to connect things properly. Moreover, the slide sizes are fixed, and you can't extend the slides, which makes the work harder, whereas, in Lucidchart, you can extend a particular sheet to whatever size you want. You can also put everything together, and it still works fine. I own a development app in which we have more than 10 modules. For all 10 modules, I'm just using a single sheet. I just extend its height, and I am able to use a single sheet for the overall process flow. So, I don't need to go slide by slide to explain what is happening. Previously, to share my slides with other people, I had to put the file in one place and then send the link. If they didn't know much about designing slides, they used to mess up everything. With Lucidchart, this doesn't happen.

Lucidchart is a lovely tool for creating visual representations of any process or organization. 

People always ask me what I build my charts in, as the graphical rendering in Lucidchart is superb. The tool is super user-friendly and intuitive and comes with hundreds of templates to get you started. The user interface for Lucidchart makes it easy to build visual diagrams very quickly.

The full tool kit included in the product has more features and functionality than I will ever need, including the ability to publish diagrams directly to a web page. 

I pay for a personal license, but being new to the organization, I am trying to push the use of Lucidchart, especially for Mac users in lieu of setting up a Virtual Machine with Windows, and in lieu of OmniGraffle.

It provides real-time collaboration so that everyone is accessing and working on the same version of a document and that has made the project development process faster. I've tried it with a few of my team members, and we've all worked on things simultaneously. The application provided good, real-time updates of the changes that were being made. It saved us almost a week getting the final product out.

The ability to look at a diagram, rather than reading through written documents, also saves time and money, absolutely. My manager wanted a visual representation of the process flow, and Lucidchart helped immensely. I was stuck for two to three months when trying to make a visual representation of the process flow and I wasn't able to get it done. Using Lucidchart, I did it in one day. I asked for a week, but I went back with the final process flow and diagram within a day, which was really surprising. They were expecting me to take a week to build it. It has increased efficiency.

Our company has a linking system where we can share hierarchies and general information with our teammates. I use Lucidchart to visualize the main system of our old game systems, like the DDD.

I make the domain-driven design, and through that I make the ERD. Then, through the ERD, I make the database schema. So, all the charts that I make or propose for new systems go through that process.

Lucidchart provides real-time collaboration among users so everyone is accessing and working on the same version of a document. First, I make the proposal or concept of the domain, then I review it with my teammates. If they accept the whole concept of the domain, I make it as a domain model through Lucidchart. So, that loop of feedback makes a better version of the DDD, ERD, or schema.

The concept of a product is something that can always change over time. So, it is good to have a diagram for visualization that makes changes easily. This is the essence of Lucidchart. I fully agree with the concept of Lucidchart because of this reason.

It's good for teamwork. If you need to collaborate on a certain drawing, whether a business process, or architecture, or anything else, having the team on the same platform is good. 

Also, the ability for people to look at a diagram rather than reading through written documents absolutely saves time and, as a result, money. An image is worth more than a book of words. It's impossible for me to quantify the savings.

Lucidchart helps realize efficiencies in the projects I use it for. For example, I will use Lucidchart for each of my customers to describe their business processes. For efficiency, it's really good in that sense. I would estimate it increases my efficiency by 30 percent.

Previously, I used to draw diagrams on my notebook, and sometimes I would make PowerPoint presentations. After getting to know Lucidchart, I have been better able to convey my ideas. I'm able to show what I'm thinking and how I'm thinking, including where I'm planning to put the instances, where I'm planning to use the database, and what I want to include in the database. I am clearly able to show these things to the rest of the team. It is super good.

As a result, it has saved me time, on the order of at least 50 to 60 percent, because of the ease of use. In the long term, if I save that kind of time, and the rest of my team members are able to contribute ideas on the diagrams, it's obviously good for efficiency. I can now focus on other things. I can really focus on the code, which it would have taken a lot more time to get into.

The real-time collaboration, where everyone is accessing and working on the same version of a document, is also good. It is easy to understand what other people have done, and it has saved us time. We used to do everything on whiteboards in the office or wherever we met. 

In addition, the ability for people to look at a diagram rather than reading through written documents is helpful. Who reads documents anyway? Rather than reading something and creating imagined diagrams in the mind, why not just get to a diagram directly? That saves a lot of time. If I was spending four hours on something like this previously, over the course of a couple of days, I am now spending two hours on it. That amounts to a significant amount of money saved.

Lucidchart was able to help me design the flow of my APIs. They are quite complicated with many conditional flows and many multiple-table interactions. It would have been difficult for me to jump to the code directly, without having the clarity given me by using Lucidchart.

The problem is that it can be difficult to think about exactly what needs to be done, which is why I started using Lucidchart. I thought that it would be better if I have a pictorial representation of the flow that I wanted to implement in my system. After I had this visual, I went on to start coding it.

I have definitely realized efficiencies in the projects that I have used Lucidchart for, and it has had a major impact. As I am designing the flow of data through an API, I sometimes forget to handle some of the base cases or some of the edge cases. More importantly, there could remain some endpoints that are unfinished, or there could be some endpoints that are broken. However, if I am using a pictorial representation, such as with Lucidchart, I always know that at each particular point, I have not missed an aspect of the design that would explain what happens when a particular condition occurs.

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. For example, the system that I am working on now is pseudo-transactional, which is the model for the flows. This means that I should have a rollback mechanism if some particular condition doesn't succeed.

It is easy to check for a particular condition using a standard If and Else combination in code, but there are some scenarios in which there are nested conditions. Solutions need to implement these as well, which is more difficult. However, this is where Lucidchart helps a lot. On every particular flow, it asks me to design a new system that includes an endpoint.

I have experienced a 40% reduction in development time because I don't have to search for the use cases during the coding phase. Specifically, I don't have to search for the edge cases or the base cases because they are designed in a pictorial representation that is easy to follow. I just have to look at the diagram and write the code.

I may write a best-case scenario when I get the data, but the nested decisions or the conditional statements remain unhandled sometimes. There is always a question of what will happen to the flow if something specific occurs, or in some cases, does not occur. For example, if something is missing from the database or one of the tables, it can be difficult to forecast what the consequence will be. In cases such as this, how you react is something that needs to be defined. You should know what will happen, even when conditions result in the worst case. This is why it is best to have a pictorial representation. It will allow you to easily design fallbacks for the system.

It is important to me that Lucidchart accommodates both Mac and PC users because sometimes when you switch companies, they use a different operating system. At this point, I'm using Linux and Lucidchart is compatible. At some point in time, I may change to another organization or even just change laptops, so I need the functionality to work properly on the other operating system.

Creating flowcharts and documentation is easy to do and the results are very nice.

I think that this solution is good in terms of its visualizations and it helps to understand process flows and workflows. The flowcharts and wireframes are very nice and easy to use.

The features for creating database schemas and modifying existing data structures are things that I have used a little bit. I find that this is a good tool when working with databases and it helps with strategy planning, ideation, and project planning. 

It is definitely important to use that Lucidchart accommodates both Mac and PC users. We have work that is done collaboratively in teams and we need to be able to share between team members. This is important regardless of platform.

Lucidchart allows for real-time collaboration, where multiple users can access the same version of a document. It has improved our project development process because we can discuss a journey map and a flowchart with developers in real-time. Using this tool, we are able to better interact with developers.

This ability to collaborate efficiently and in parallel has saved us time because it makes the job easier for our colleagues and teammates. I would estimate that it saves between three and four hours a day.

I have used this product several times to create or update an IA for whichever project I may be working on.

In terms of benefits, it's easy for me to communicate amongst technical and non-technical stakeholders to draw everything out so that we are all on the same page and discussions can be made. That's the most valuable part. 

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. 

This product allowed me to work closely with design team and merge the perspective of Quality Assurance and Product Design easily.
