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 …
Miro is good for workshops and project planning but Lucidchart is more useful for architectural diagrams but it does not have stickers and fancy colors like in Miro used in workshops
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
I like Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite more than both of those for the ease of use and collaboration. Miro is similar with collaboration but didn't find as easy to use and Visio is similar to use but a bit harder to collaborate with.
I have used Miro, but we use them for different things. There's not much I can compare as we use them only for what each one of them is strong, but if I had to compare, Miro doesn't have the power to deal with database diagrams like Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite Lucidchart …
Miro had an advantage with the unlimited canvas until Lucidchart recently added that feature. Lucidchart seems to be better designed for creating drawings, incredibly technical or software architectural diagrams. Miro appears to be more designed for non-technical folks as a …
I did not select Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite. That decision was taken by others in the organization. Given a choice, I am not sure I would have selected Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite. Miro was already established and, with a local client, was a better user experience in …
Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite has a more professional feel, an easier way of organizing and a simpler look. Miro, while very similar, has more aggressive color schemes and a more toy like UI that does not inspire as much confidence in our stakeholders.
Much better, it doesn't get the steps in lines even a tenth as much as Visio, can use custom shapes as actual shapes rather than images, and aligns much easier. Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite is easily the best and I have tried about 4-5 programs over the last 5 years.
draw.io is a free tool which has very limited functionality. Some of the advanced features like AI based generation and templates are not available in other applications. Also, I’ve used bot framework for different purposes. If customer wants to collaborate and they don’t have …
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 …
We started using LucidChart after switching from another visual collaboration tool. The import process worked surprisingly well - way better than anyone on our team was expecting. Lucidchart itself is simple to use, easy to collaborate with coworkers, has a ton of built-in …
I think Lucidchart is just better for diagramming complex engineer scenarios. For software engineers, it's really hard to beat. I do like these other tools I have listed, but my favorite is still Lucidchart because it has so many high-quality features that really matter for …
I think that among other diagramming tools, Lucidchart is one of the most complete and advanced. For its expertise in diagrams, it offers a wide range of options when it comes to making any kind of diagram because, unlike its competitors that have multiple uses, they do not …
Promapp is better for collaborating about processes and maintaing process ownership. Lucidchart is very versatile and allows us to do a lot more. I prefer Lucidspark to LucidChart for most applications, however. I wish there was a single license for the two, or at least a bundled …
Miro has all of the features of Mural, and more! We are very happy with our switch to Miro. I wasn't part of the selection process for our move from Mural to Miro.
Miro is easier to use and seem to have more features. Figma seems to be a better choice for Designers, but for collaboration there is no comparison. Lucid chart felt very limited and less fluid experience as a user. Overall would rather use Miro instead of the others, but if …
Miro offers a more seamless and more robust experience than either of these tools. It allows me to brainstorm, ideate, map a problem, design a solution, plan, and execute all in one board.
The collaboration features are excellent and varied enough that I still have several that …
I think Miro has two advantages over the other solutions. The first one is simplicity of usage. The interface is understandable without any documentation; you just know what to do. The second benefit is a rich catalog of templates, icons, elements, etc. In other tools like …
Figma might be easier for small scale projects, just because it responds quicker and has similar functionality. But it would be a nightmare to use Figma for our current project, just considering how large of a workspace is required.
Much better usability, more integrations, loads of templates. Export of data is easier, either segments of a board, or the whole board. Admins can change access rights and revers changes on boards to point in time. Miro is much more expensive though. The safety and data …
Considering the alternatives, Miro is the absolute best option for real time collaboration between people who may be separated by geography. It's easy to share content, and it's easy to collaborate with clients and partners, including when the client or partner does not have a …
I appreciate how Miro strikes the balance between speed and detail. The level of detail Miro seems to "want" you to make can be made really quickly and efficiently, allowing you to focus on the outcomes/purpose of your models...not the look of the models. Miro helps designers …
i didn’t select Miro, i just get to use it. it seems pretty comparable to the others. i can’t say that i have a great idea of the comparison of features. i also have very little interest in most of these features, which largely seem like gimmicks which take more effort to …
Lucid has a complicated process to its basic tasks. The UI UX is a bit tricky for a new user when it comes to lucid, whereas i feel Miro is way more user friendly than lucid for a first time user. Additionally, Miro is cheaper than lucid when it comes to the value it provides …

Chose Miro
Figma is for designers, it has very specific tools around wireframing, building layouts and finalizing UI, but the learning curve could be high for people with non design background. And all those design related feature become some kind of noise to the non designers if we are …
It is hard to think of ways in which Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite would not be best suited to provide an effective tool for any organization to find success in its use. Whether it is a visual display to map an organizational structure, a collaboration to find an answer of how to improve workflow, or even to display the upcoming budget needs, working in Lucid can seamlessly provide that!
It is excellent for digital collaboration with clients and colleagues. It can replace PowerPoint as an engagement and communication tool that can be used to drive interactive sessions, ongoing collaboration, and iteration. Using the integrated video tools to run participants through the board and/or provide instructions is fantastic. As is the ability to integrate with third-party applications like Jira. However, it is currently less suited to building toolsets that can be monetized, as there is no defined way to limit who can access custom boards.
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.
Visualization of concepts. Very easy to create diagrams, journey maps, cluster information together
Collaborative work. Sometimes I create activities where we do some individual work and then converge together as a group, the ability to do that all in one board and then have the information in one place is really valuable.
Planning. Super easy to create detailed plans, move things around, leave comments. Especially love the 'cards' where you can even put status progress and assign to specific person
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.
There is no other tool like Miro for process Mapping in particular. I've tried PowerPoint, Word, and other programs, but when collaborating virtually on how to improve a process, Miro has all of the tools and more to enable successful mapping. The colors, different types of shapes and text books, along with the ability to integrate different documents and other functionality, make it ideal for this purpose. In a virtual world, it's a must-have.
The interface is easy to use and understand and most features feel very familiar from the start. There are so many features and functions that users may not know it can be done without some instruction. Lucid's champion network is a great, fun resource to learn more about the product.
I would rate Miro's overall usability a 10 as well. The platform's intuitive design and user-friendly interface make it incredibly easy to navigate and use, even for those who are new to it. The drag-and-drop functionality, along with a wide range of templates and tools, allows for seamless collaboration and creativity. Additionally, the real-time collaboration features enable our team to work together efficiently, regardless of location. The integration with other tools we use daily further enhances our workflow, making Miro an indispensable part of our toolkit. Overall, Miro's usability has significantly improved our productivity and collaboration, making it a top choice for our team.
I only give a 9/10 because of the speed at which it loads. I have never experienced issues with Miro logging me out early, or some other technical issue causing the program to crash, or even it just loading in perpetuity without ever actually coming up (unlike other programs such as SFDC). It take a minute for all of my boards to come up after I click on it in my favorites, but besides that, it's all good.
I took the loading quickly to be related to availability which I commented on before, so ditto with those comment on load time here. Although to reemphasize, Miro doesn't crash or just refuse to load like some other programs. The weak point of Miro for me is integration of files like Word, Excel, or PowerPoint (especially the later two). When you embed these, it gets slow, and complicated to bring them up while you're in the application.
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
We have never reached out to or contacted support because Miro's platform has been incredibly intuitive and user-friendly. The comprehensive resources available, such as tutorials, documentation, and community forums, have provided all the guidance we needed. The seamless integration with our existing tools and the reliability of the platform have ensured that we rarely encounter issues that require external assistance. This self-sufficiency has allowed us to focus more on our projects and collaboration without interruptions. Overall, our experience with Miro has been smooth and efficient, eliminating the need for additional support
There was a series of webinars which Miro hosted with our organization that went over the basics, then progressively became more advanced with additional sections. The instructors were knowledgeable, and provided examples throughout the sessions, as well as answered peoples' questions. There was ample time and experience on the calls to cover a range of topics. The instructors were also very friendly and sociable, as well as honest. Of course Miro isn't a "God-tool" that does absolutely everything, but the instructors were aware and emphasized the strengths where Miro had them and sincerely accepted feedback.
So many ways to use Miro, it'd be good to have a basic training for users to do before starting. We're finding there's a vast split amongst our users, some use all the time, and some avoid it heavily. Finding ways to personalize the onboarding experience will be key. Maybe even just an "onboarding template" they can be walked through. It would be good to also have a central management of activity and notifications of when people log-in and work on things.
We started using LucidChart after switching from another visual collaboration tool. The import process worked surprisingly well - way better than anyone on our team was expecting. Lucidchart itself is simple to use, easy to collaborate with coworkers, has a ton of built-in diagram components, and has a supportive community around it complete with webinars from highly entertaining and engaging presenters.
Jamboard is slow, didn't always show changes in real time, doesn't support infinite canvas and is more limited in functionality and easy to use than Miro. It goes without saying, but Jamboard is being retired as a product this year. Miro on the other hand has constant updates and new features including AI capabilities.
Miro is great for scaling. In every department and subdivision across my entire organization, there is someone using it. From Sales to marketing, to manufacturing and operations; and even in legal and finance, there isn't a process or a department that is not using Miro, and if they aren't, they're missing out! Even at the highest to the lowest levels of the organization, it is essential for virtual collaboration.
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.
Ease of collaboration - This has saved me countless hours and stress. Old products such as Visio and Milanote lacked collaborative features. With more time and more mental capacity, I am able to accomplish more.
There has been a reduced project completion time. For example when designing websites. I am able to clip a snippet of a website we are designing, draw an arrow to exactly where we need to work, and apply a post-it with direction. This has saved us a ton of hours and back and forth via Whatsapp directing the team on what needs to be done.
There is a financial return for sure. I just don't have those hard numbers at the moment.
