Freedcamp vs. Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite

I have used a number of different Project Management Tools and this is the one I always make the team come back to, it's easy to use, has great support, and can be used by people of various levels of technical ability. When planning a complicated network, that needs to be sold to a customer, all people within the company have needs that have to be addressed, from the obvious technical, but also legal, regulatory, finance, and ordering of equipment and all these have different milestones, that interconnect, this is where Freedcamp shines, it allows all of the company to work together to achieve the technical sale.

Lucid provides an easy to use and understand interface with a lot of templates to get you started with strong visual collaboration quickly. They provide excellent support and resources to help with adoption amongst users and they are constantly providing new and innovative features that wow users. At times it is difficult to keep up with all the functionality available to us through these tools.

• 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.

• 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.

I always come back to using Freedcamp, I've used others, but keep coming back.

I have people who struggle to use PC's using Freedcamp, so it's that easy to understand in the basic form. I've also had high-level CTOs using Freedcamp, so it covers all areas.

I would rate Lucidchart's overall usability as a 9. The platform's user-friendly interface and intuitive drag-and-drop functionality make it incredibly accessible for both beginners and experienced users. It minimizes the learning curve, allowing users to start creating diagrams immediately. The extensive library of templates and shapes further enhances usability, making it easy to find the right elements for any type of diagram. The only reason I don't give it a perfect 10 is that there's always room for minor improvements, and while Lucidchart is highly user-friendly, there's always the potential to refine features further for an even more seamless experience.

Especially a few years ago when Freedcamp was first starting, I needed support, sometimes, I'd find a bug as a heavy user, Igor and Angel are great people who are quick to reply and help you as well as the other great staff. Freedcamp's support is the best of any software product I use.

I've posted a couple questions on the forums. My questions were answered in a reasonable amount of time and the support I received answered my questions accurately and concisely. I wish there was a faster way to get support, and I wish there was more advanced training courses. I haven't contacted them via email or phone before.

Overall ease of use, ability to have different people of skills, mobile version, and access.

If it's solo work, I prefer Lucidchart over all its competitors. For larger group collaboration, Lucidspark or Miro is much much preferred than Lucidchart. Figma is ok for some basic use but can't handle complex stuffs. MURAL and Visio are just terrible products to use in general. So Lucidchart is one of my top three for sure

• It's quite low cost for a business so that's a no brainer.
• I also use it for a Non-Profit organization and we get a free version there, which is great.
• I remember that the people running company planning especially loved how this made complex activity open for viewing by all within the company (as required) so that there was no "mystery" within projects, we all had an advance understanding of what resources and activities would be needed.

• 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.
