Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite
Chose Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite
Lucidchart, draw.io, Miro all deliver the same core functionality of diagramming software. Lucidchart has integration ecosystem, with so many tools/apps (Asana, Google Sheets live connector, Saleforce, etc) that why enterprises and business choose Lucidchart. Compared to Miro, …
Chose Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite
SmartDraw's templates appeared to offer more selection and were slightly better. They offer desktop apps for Mac and Windows (if that's your thing). However, we feel that Lucidchart has better sharing and collaboration tools and we opted to go with this software over SmartDraw
Chose Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite
There is no comparison to LucidChart - it is EXACTLY what we need and love.
Chose Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite
Its a web-based tool and much easier to share and access.
Chose Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite
Lucidchart when compared to the competition is way ahead of them. It has a good number of features available in the free version and the other thing is that there is none to a little learning curve required to understand the product. It is fairly easy to use when we compare it …
Chose Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite
The closest I can come up with is Google Whiteboard in Meet, which is a far cry from LucidChart.
Chose Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite
Lucidspark's infinite canvas is proving incredibly useful for strategic planning and other long-lived activities where being able to navigate the history of complex pictures is valuable. I have found Google Slides and PowerPoint to be underpowered when it comes to …
Chose Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite
They're different tools but I prefer the look and collaboration element of Lucid vs the others. Although it doesn't offer a proper chat feature similar to Slack - I find this better as I still prefer old-fashioned talking to colleagues about projects and tasks so for me Lucid …
Chose Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite
Lucidchart is more user-friendly than draw.io
Chose Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite
I can't remember any cloud-based competitors i looked for when we set up Lucid Chart originally. Lucid Chart replaced powerpoint, microsoft word, and google draw that we were using for basic diagrams earlier. Lucid chart is much more satisfying to use - the charts actually can …
Chose Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite
I have not evaluated any other products in this space in the last seven years as there has simply been no need. When I was first looking for a cloud engineering tool back in 2012 I looked at Gliffy and Omnigraffle but once I discovered Lucidchart, I never looked again.
Chose Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite
As I mentioned before, we used Microsoft Visio for most of our workflow representation needs. But it was a heavy tool. [There were] a lot of unused features. Not so intuitive to use.

The usability of Asana is broad since it's available in a variety of platforms that are widely used nowadays. I think that it would be great for people who are constantly on the move and switching devices, since it has allowed me to work from my phone, too. I also think that Asana has proven itself to handle a large quantity of work

I personally think that Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite is the best visual collaboration software out there. I’ve used Canva, Apple Freeform, and Microsoft whiteboarding software, and none of them really measure up. If you want simple, easy, collaborative, and intuitive, then Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite is the best solution. At the same time, if you’re tight on budget, it’s probably not going to be a solution you can afford.

Pros
Asana
  • Through it, we were able to communicate and cooperate with the rest of the team to complete the work in the required manner and at the appropriate time.
  • Available for free on Android and iPhone.
  • Asana has a simple and easy user interface

Lucid Software
  • Large number of predefined charts, diagrams, flows
  • A great repository of various symbols and objects
  • The easiness of using and manipulating objects and shapes. There is a lot of auto-editing and adjusting which the software does for you which saves a lot of your time.
  • Easy way of duplicating shapes.
  • While working with the app everything feels organic and natural. You don't get the clunky/limited feeling which happens with some other similar apps.

Cons
Asana
  • Asana is not really a project management tool, it is good for simple projects only
  • UI has some glitches (doesn't save preferences, etc.)
  • Integration with other tools (Office 365, MS Project)
  • No reminders if the working period you entered is on holidays

  • I have used the templates before and those are nice! I would like to see more
  • The ONLY complaint I can come up with is that there has been several times that my screen will lock up and i have to fully refresh it, even when it is a fairly fresh load.

Usability
Asana
It is very user-friendly. Takes a new employee an hour to start figuring out how the system works. That's an important factor. You don't want to encounter the issue where employees need a week to understand how the system works. For example, JIRA, I tried using it for a week and I still don't understand the complicated layout. Asana has a simple interface. Once you see it, you get it type of program.

I haven't had to use their support so I can't rate it. The fact that I haven't needed them reflects the ease of use of the product. I would recommend that any new users schedule a complete demo of the product to ensure that they are using it to it's fullest (there's a lot of useful features).

I would rate the overall support for Lucidchart as a 9. The support provided is generally robust and responsive. Their help center, tutorials, and webinars offer extensive resources for users. The ticket-based support system is effective, providing timely resolutions to most issues. Moreover, they actively gather user feedback, demonstrating a commitment to continuous improvement

Alternatives Considered
Asana
Asana is a top-tier project management software that helps us organize and track projects from start to finish. It allows us to apply tasks/to-dos to multiple projects without duplication, divide complex projects into smaller tasks, and track project progress. It also helps us organize work on Kanban boards or linear lists. It stands out from the crowd in a big way compared to the competition.

Lucidchart is well beyond Microsoft Visio and is constantly improving. Visio is pretty much stagnant and hasn't been improved for several years, Lucid is constantly adding new functionality like AI powered functions and tools. We have no reason to pay for Visio licenses when Lucid can provide so much more for less.

Return on Investment
Asana
  • Productivity - Most of all, it allows me to be more productive and have a good sense of where I am with projects and deadlines.
  • Easy to use - I can make the most of my time to get up (and stay) up and running.
  • Project coordination - Allows me to assign tasks to my interns and communicate directly within the platform to keep the work train moving.

  • It sure has. It has saved me a lot of time. Think of all the time I could have wasted trying to learn a program that does the same thing, whereas Lucidchart just does it with ease, learn as you go, and be a boss at it.
  • Lucidchart has increased productivity. My diagrams have helped co-workers find connectivity and helped them troubleshoot devices. This has saved time and increased productivity.
