Critical for getting and staying ahead
Our goal is to conduct level 1, 2 & 3 process maps for our organization. This has been identified as a huge gap as we try to navigate system updates. Having a detailed process map that visually shows how information is flowing through multiple systems and processes has allowed us to efficiently get the right levels of engagement from our leaders and demonstrate the sheer volume of interdependencies for our employees as they think through their processes.
- Clean and easy to navigate on a desktop
- Symbols and shapes are simple & easy to edit
- Group work features allows free thinking as well as focused collaboration
- The software is intuitive for new people while remaining powerful for more experienced folks
- As always with these kinds of software's, there is opportunity to allow for connections to other software's like excel or Smartsheet
- I would like to see some sort of earmarking for certain symbols to allow for pulling something like (in our case) all 'communications sent' from multiple boards into one view
- I think video/ written tutorials to help guide a user to a useful template along with how to use/facilitate a session with it would be helpful.

Best all-round free drawing diagram tool.
We use Lucid diagrams for our Solution Architecture Design documentation. This includes multiple views and some whiteboards (the unlimited canvas is very useful for this). We make use of the good selection of general shapes and enjoy having brand-specific shapes available as well (we use a lot of Azure shapes). The ability to share diagrams with others in the same team, manage access control, collaborate on the same diagram, and even present from the diagram has been very useful.
I built solutions designing and architecting to build artefacts and share it with customers or internal interests. We do implementations to customers to track how the tool is being used in their tech stack or how the data is flowing we build flow diagrams or architecture diagrams to have it documented
- Solutioning the custom solutions where we want to get clear understanding of how the tech stacks are being used
- Process flow diagrams
- Structure based designs and architecture
- Branded logos like AWS S3, SFTP etc.
- The AI generation is too basic. May be needs training with detailed data
- The chart when shared is sharing all the tabs. Can we limit to 1 tab

Jaxson Perry and Angie Castor have done a very good job showing another new user and myself how to utilize advanced feature of Lucidchart and Lucidspark. Angie captured several items that I suggested for integration and features improvements.
- Integration with external applications.
- Free form flexibility on the board.
- ability to import Jira user stories, recategorize them and make updates that feed back into the originating story on the Jira board.
- As mentioned earlier, expand integrations - with Rally, and PPM tools such as Clarity and Accolade.
We have been using LucidChart at INTERTEL for the last 4 years, and it is a really excellent chart and diagram solution. We are using it to map out all our processes across the whole company, from sales and marketing to operations and support. Even our programming department uses it for their internal processes, and they have been using SCRUM internally. Having all our processes mapped out really help us to understand if there are any roadblocks in our organization, and the correct flow of information from one department to the other. But the main use we have for it is that it allows us to assign responsibilities for each part of the process to the correct person/department, and in our industry having this information is key. Also, it is a plus that the cost of the license is not that expensive compared to other similar solutions, and even the free version has enough features and options to help out everyone. We recommend LucidChart to everyone that asks us about it.
- Mapping out processes and workflows
- Allowing the whole enterprise to see how each process interacts with the other departments
- Pointing out areas of opportunity between each process
- Eliminating unneeded steps in each process
- Helping the new hires to understand the process and areas that they are going to help with
- Printing each chart out and having them in every department helps when trying to change or update a process
- The free version offers a lot of functionality but you cannot print the complete chart
- Translate between languages, our company is in Mexico but we have a lot of people coming from the USA
- Add the option to import or make our own shapes and chart types

Great Tool For Building And Sharing Flowcharts
A quick and easy way to align business stakeholders and engineering on current business processes and the desired algorithm behavior.
I use Lucidchart to document and understand existing business processes with my business stakeholders. I also use it to give high-level outlines of the solutions we're doing to implement in a way that is digestible to both our business stakeholders and the engineering team that needs to implement it.
Two features beyond basic flowcharting every team should consider leveraging are:
I use Lucidchart to document and understand existing business processes with my business stakeholders. I also use it to give high-level outlines of the solutions we're doing to implement in a way that is digestible to both our business stakeholders and the engineering team that needs to implement it.
Two features beyond basic flowcharting every team should consider leveraging are:
- Shared folders to make permission management and discovery of historical artifacts easy.
- Commenting to allow for easy coloration and feedback.
- Making Flow Chart Easy
- Sharing Flowcharts With Teammates
- Collaborating on Flow Charts with multiple people
- Sharing is very convoluted and confusing when I'm trying to share a single document. It would be beneficial if there was a request access feature similar to google docs if you don't have access to a specific chart but have the link
- Handling of nested flowcharts to abstract complex but drill down when needed. Simulink has a decent strategy for this and would like to see something similar in Lucidchart
- Link related charts together so I can easily tie different versions of a process together over time
Lucidchart has many usecases due to its flexible nature. I've been using it mostly for workflow graphs, organisational charts, process presentations and timeline charts. Thanks to dozens of templates you can use it for both project-oriented work, as well as more managerial tasks, team or time-management jobs, reporting, even technical charts, HR overviews, trainings, and many others.
- Very high customisability, ability to change the layout and content quickly.
- Very intuitive UI with minimum learning threshold for most basic use cases.
- Accessibility across platforms and devices.
- More intuitive export to other tools/formats.
- More/better incentives to upgrade from free version.

best diagram software
develop complex arch diagram for AWS / SAP / on premise apps. As a solution archiect, I need to create a variety of logical, technical and integration diagrams for new application architecture. Lucid provides all the native tools/icons that represent each vendor and this allow me to showcase executive level diagrams.
- icons for vendor packages
- collaboration
- sharing
- templates
- conversion to PDF
- convesion to powerpoint

Lucidchart is a great flowchart product
I used Lucidchart to create flowchart and collaborate with others in the company. It is extremely helpful when I need to brainstorm concepts and turn ideas into tangible artifact. Often, I create the first draft and then invite others to give their inputs. Most of my diagram will be stickies, boxes and arrows.
- Create flowchart
- Analytics taxonomy
- Mind mapping
- Timeline
- Gantt chart
- License management

Lucidchart Review
I tried to test the Lucidchart BambooHR integration at my company. They promised in their interface and in the following calls that they have a connection with our HR tool, BambooHR. However, it is my belief that was not true. They had us manually include all the changes in the org chart, but then we could not use the tool. That was 20 hours of work for, in my opinion, nothing. Additionally, they promised that we have seven days of free use of the tool, but then they changed for a whole month, almost 100 euros. It is my personal beliefl they did this to get small usage fees.
- Templates
- Transparency

Lovin' every ounce of the flow!
We utilize LucidChart across our entire organization. We are software developers, so we utilize it heavily to diagram our client processes/architecture out before any kind of project work begins. We all strive to learn from our clients, so being able to visualize and communicate their company vs. how we perceive their company is absolutely critical, and Lucidchart does an amazing job for us!
- Visualization of Business Processes.
- Collaboration internally and externally.
- Versioning and iterations.
- Further collaboration methods for shared edits/comments/tags.
- Pasting images / text complexities.

Lucidchart Really Helps
I use Lucidchart for a variety of business needs. I make user-flow diagrams and product roadmaps, conduct card sorting and other mapping activities, and build out wireframes with Lucid. It's such an intuitive interface that I can jump in and quickly make whatever I need without any fuss or software preparation. The export feature is excellent - it can automatically size your page to fit specific content without having to make a copy, and it exports cleanly to image or PDF. It's basically my notebook, meeting facilitation tool, and the starting point for all my web projects. It's great!
- User journey flowcharts
- Wireframes
- Card sorting and content mapping
- I wish I could share in-progress documents without collaborators needing an account
- A tracked changes option for group work
- Animated flowcharts

A cut above the rest
I currently use Lucidchart for planning and development purposes, mostly for Process mapping, Process interaction diagrams, Wire frame designs and strategic planning. It is also a useful and a collaborative tool for brainstorming and facilitating productive meetings. My team members enjoy this tool as they feel included and their ideas can easily be sorted and categorized.
- Swim lane diagrams
- Wire frame designs
- Brainstorming
- Process interaction
- Flow charts
- Fish bone technique
- None observed so far

Lucidchart has been so useful during the pandemic
My organization has very many different business processes and each process is somewhat complex. With all of these complex processes, it's very easy to use Lucidchart to diagram out all of these processes and connect them by creating a flowchart. Also since our organization is global, being able to collaborate on Lucidchart helps us visualize processes together without worrying about miscommunication.
- Providing free templates for users
- Connecting shapes to other shapes and being able to align them with an onscreen ruler
- I think the homepage when you log into Lucidchart is not very intuitive. I recommend that it has the same format as SharePoint where you can list all files out and group them into folders.

Lucidchart is a great tool
I use it to draw diagrams and graph org charts. It is used by several people in a department but not the whole organization. It helps create great diagrams and visualize processes. We are able to build dynamic org charts for our current clients and prospective clients. This allows us to identify key stakeholders and decision-makers. Separately, we have several data flow diagrams. We are easily able to map out flow from one platform to the next in a digestible, concise manner.
- Org Charts
- Data Flows
- Process diagrams
- Ease of use
- Tutorials
- More templates
- Customization of colors

Using Lucidspark for Classroom Teaching
Score 8 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
I use Lucidspark as a teacher to create educational models and diagrams and then share them online with my students. I do not use it for collaboration (though there is potential to allow students to collaborate on diagrams as part of a homework assignment). I was looking for a visual aid that was flexible, allowed for long-form text, and could be shared by a link. I am trying Lucidspark for this year to see how well it works for my needs.
- Provides a more free-flowing design than mind mapping software
- Allows for long-form text to illustrate points in the diagram
- Allows for sharing of diagrams through a shared link
- Offers templates and examples for great-looking diagrams
- Allows for different kinds of informational structures (timelines, progressions, lists, etc)
- Some of the features (such as grouping objects) are not as intuitive as they could be
- There should be pricing options for individual usage with sharing but not collaboration
- Lucid seems focused on the business market. It would be great to have something tailored toward education

The convenient collaborative tool!
Lucidspark is very collaborative and friendly in the firm and is used for various brainstorming sessions, curation of ideas, and market research. The platform is used across different departments of design expertise and helps in sorting out creative blocks, client needs, and user research synthesis. Templates and different tools provided in the same are being utilised for user-friendly client presentations as well.
- Sorting of category wise ideations.
- Colour coding notes and information.
- User friendly collaboration with teammates across boards.
- Dots in background are large enough to distract the user while zooming on boards.
- File size limit can be extended for free version for the user to test it to understand its potential.
- Lack of user friendly desktop application.

Useful, versatile, and easy to use software for all industries planning and diagramming
I have recently utilized Lucidchart as a tool to convey the message of equipment layout related to the creation of reliability program development, monitoring, or current state. This helps clients to understand the close relationship between electromechanical equipment, electrical equipment, and the necessity of monitoring or maintaining such equipment in a manufacturing environment. These efforts benefit clients in determining how to safely and efficiently provide the corresponding program to maintain their vital equipment along with establishing programs that oversee the effective deployment of their maintenance program and budget. Lucidchart is being utilized by our department to fully relay our message pertaining to reporting our findings on equipment layout and the planning of program delivery. In addition to being able to produce equipment layout and diagramming, the software allows saving the work on multiple platforms like Visio. Lucidhart is able to address the easy and detailed convey of diagramming of any environment (office or manufacturing) to facilitate the planning of services.
- Diagram blocks.
- Variety of layouts.
- Extensive environment options.
- Save files in multiple platforms.
- Expand manufacturing blocks.
- Improve the free software version.
- Add interactive blocks.

The best way to make Flowcharts
Lucidchart makes it very easy to make professional flow charts quickly; it has a great library of templates that always comes in handy, and it has all the tools available to make a pro flow chart. Lucidchart helps us design any production flows, wireframing, and organisational flow charts; it's easy to use, and new people adapt to it quickly; it has made the work of making flow charts very easy, and it's also really easy to collaborate with the team on the project. Lucidchart is being used by multiple departments in the organisation when it comes to making any kind of charts at all, it has that ease of use that everyone adapts to quickly.
- Wireframing
- Flowcharts
- Process Charts
- The pricing can be reduced.
- The overall user experience can be improved.
- Free version has very limited features.

Keep it simple, keep it clear, Lucidchart is here.
We are using it within our Revenue Operations Department to help enable and show, live on our calls the current mapping and potential or desired mapping of our clients as well as internal processes. Using Lucidchart really helps in giving a visual representation of the work required and the work to be done for our projects.
- Flow mapping for processes.
- Differentiating between object types.
- Allowing for comments on certain sections.
- The basics are really intuitive, but I am not aware of how to better utilise newer or more advanced features.
- Anytime a paid user makes a premium object in a shared chart, free users are unable to edit.
- I would like for some feature to better align my objects, maybe to a set distance on the board.

Lucidchart is easy to use, efficient and to the point even after having loads of features
Lucidchart is being used across the whole organization for diagrammatic purposes for creating various logic, flowcharts, architecture diagrams, and designs according to the business requirements of our clients. It is also used by my team for UI mockups and outputting and proposed diagrams for our projects.
- Lucidchart has a selection of various flowchart boxes, iOS and Android device UIs, ER diagram schemas readily available for our use.
- Easy to select the arrows, lines, colors, fonts and sizes as per our requirements.
- Easy to export our diagrams into numerous formats like PNG, PDF, Visio, etc.
- Easy to share an editable version of our diagrams with other members in our organization by simply entering their email and sending them an invite to the chart.
- Auto complete and spell check are the areas that could be added.

Better than Powerpoint, but not perfect.
I use Lucidchart as a substitute for Visio, Impress, Powerpoint, or even Dia predominantly for embedded graphics. It is a means to an end, not without issues.
- Scales elements when required.
- Provides a range of export options.
- Runs in a browser.
- Seemingly infinite undo functionality.
- Cannot trust cropping when exporting, needs to be verified and manually forced.
- Have not been able to animate my charts yet.
- Needs deeper library of shapes for technical charts.
- Needs to update shape libraries when required, should be within 6 months of terms or shapes changing.
- Does not snap lines so that they are perfectly superimposed.
- Cannot save projects for sharing.
- It would be nice where shape libraries are versioned, to be able to update en-masse as if the shapes were referenced or linked.
- Find and replace fo shapes, not just text.

Easy to use and simple to read
I have really enjoyed using Lucidchart to plot out project workflows. I have found it very easy to use, and very clear to simply display the processes of the company.
- Simple to use
- Great templates
- Clear layouts
- Easier to locate walk-throughs
- More features to be used for free
- Click to use icons, rather than dragging

Helpful for network engineers
We leverage Lucidchart to formulate the network and AWS topology designs and architectures. It enables us to share and control the access of charts to users with a defined level of access. The options and shapes available are very helpful from a network perspective and allow us to represent our network HLD and LLDs effectively.
- Network Diagrams
- Flow charts
- Topologies
- I cannot select and move multiple objects at once.
- The object limit on free samples is not good I feel.
- There should be more documentation to allow new users to get used to Lucidchart.
