Lucidchart - Intuitive and Recommended
I utilize Lucidchart for Network diagrams and share the diagrams both internally with my peers and externally with clients. I utilize Lucidchart to enable collaboration with the ability to control the access rights on shared copies and the ability to see each others cursors on the diagram, enabling a two way conversation in todays "remote" environment.
- Document Sharing
- Intuitive Interface
- Platform Independent
- Automatic 3rd party Stencel Availability

Painless.
As a ScrumMaster/Business Analyst/Technical Strategist Consultant, I use Lucidchart on a daily basis both internally within my firm and frequently as the recommended tool of choice at our client's companies as well.
- Flowchart
- Sequence Diagrams
- Org Charts
- Integration to source code for self documentation.

Lucidchart helped me share my ideas and thoughts Lucidly
I use it primarily to consult with different clients to advise on next steps for implementing a specific system or in the actual implementation ; To fulfill this need , I need to organize information in various formats ; The titles for various artefacts that I generate are as under

Designers's friend.
My role requires me to design the technical architecture for a new feature/product for the company. The lucid chart has a tremendous shapes library that helps me quickly design and lay out the systems neatly and how they would interact with one another. Lucidchart helps the team to visualize the mechanics of any module. For my scope of work, a Lucidchart helps me put forward the picture of exactly what I have in mind as a Technical Architect.
- Vast shapes library.
- Drag and drop shapes.
- Auto save diagram.
- It's hard to select a single pointer when two of them overlap.

Simple and easy to get started.
I most frequently use LucidChart to create process flows, and structural diagrams. I've found that Lucidchart provides a wide variety of templates so that, when I begin a diagram, I have a good start that reduces the amount of time it takes me to begin my work. The status field is helpful, but I feel it would be more helpful if it provided more customizability.
- Start diagram from a template
- Categorize charts by status
- Collaborate with coworkers
- More customizable statuses
- More icons are always better
- More templates is always better

The review.
I create roadmaps, flowchart and other types of diagrams to support our software development efforts
- Diagrams (obviously)
- Flowcharts
- Timelines
- I really miss an option to share the diagram with users that do not have an account
- Also anonymous access would be good to have (where someone can just enter his name which is optional) and start diagramming
- Proper desktop app to work without internet access is also needed

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

Draw intelligently with Lucidchart
Lucidchart has been very useful for us for multiple use-cases. We use it to learn and document various flows in the fintech services. It is easy to use, and the team can share and collaborate on projects effortlessly. My favorite Lucidchart feature is connecting two boxes, it connects the center of boxes with ease.
- Flowcharts
- Intelligent diagramming
- Beautiful mockups
- Shorter sharing links

Easy to use
Designing financial processes for planning, reporting, and analysis. Using the application to map org charts to process steps, visually define system interfaces, and outline a data model of a new ERP system implementation.
- Org charts
- Process diagrams
- Systems map and interfaces
- Embedding into MS Powerpoint
- More flexibility to link multiple boxes in a process diagram to show dual accountability of a process step.
- Mix and match ability to visually showcase systems interfaces to process steps.
Lucidchart is used by engineering departments to create flow charts of the product and ease automation needs, as well as create testing workflows for the company. Lucidchart was initially used to create automated pipeline diagrams and helped to achieve alignment between all engineering departments and teams. Great product that was discovered by accident through a mobile app and is now used by all engineering departments.
- Ease of navigation within the working chart.
- Working in a team and collaborating.
- Easy export of finished charts and sharing them.
- Have more templates for product flowcharts.
- Selecting elements on working flowchart and not including connecting lines.
- Increasing elements border line (bold border lines).
Currently, our organization uses Lucidchart for business process management as well as organizational chart diagramming. The collaboration capability for BPMs is very helpful! We can easily Slack a BPM to our peers or grab a link to share externally. Further, once the BPM is mapped out, it streamlines process improvements.
- Business process management.
- Collaboration
- Diagram creation.
- Intuitive drag and drop.

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.

Functional and moderately easy to use
It is being used by executive management for a number of applications, chiefly keeping track of organizational structure and project teams. We have a number of independent and associated contractors, as well as employees, and keeping track of teams and projects is always a challenge. Lucidchart helps us see, at a glance, who is working on what.
- Creates easy to understand flow charts
- Diagrams processes
- Creates trees for chain of command
- Cannot copy and paste from another chart
- Making screens overall larger in tutorials
- Navigation is challenging

Flexible and diverse feature set to easily create charts
Lucidchart is a great tool to create UX deliverables, such as personas and journey maps. It's important to communicate processes, research, and user stories as clearly as possible to stakeholders, and Lucidchart makes it easy to put together high quality and professional looking deliverables. In addition, the many available integrations make it easy to share with your team members.
- Flow charts
- Templates
- Diagrams
- Pay-to-use templates should be more clearly marked

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
September 29, 2022
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 works well on Mac and Windows
We are using Lucidchart in Operations, Finance, and HR to diagram as-is processes as well as identifying opportunities to improve for the future. We switched over from VIsio to increase the accessibility of our diagramming tools for users who are on non-MS operating systems. We were able to import files from Visio into Lucidchart seamlessly, so none of our previous work was lost. Lucidchart has been easy to learn and so far we've been able to get a lot done with it in a relatively short period of time.
- Import and edit Visio files
- Provides good guidance and help to get you started
- Easy to collaborate with other users
- Easy to duplicate pages
- Make swimlane titles lockable (so that they appear as you scroll across the screen)
- Give the option to "hold" a copy/paste shape (repeatedly)
- make it easier to zoom into specific sections/shapes

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

Lucid - A great improvement.
Our whole organization uses Lucidchart. I use it for all sorts of purposes, from diagraming team hierarchical structures to data flow, process maps, etc. It helps us to identify opportunities to restructure our teams for improved communication, improve our workflows for greater efficiency or reorganize our software for increased simplification.
- Process Mapping - specifically adjustment to the map after you've already created it. Those can be the most painful because you have to reorganize everything, but much of it is easy with Lucidchart.
- Easily customize standard formatting for shapes or other visual tools.
- It is very flexible and will easily adapt to whatever type of chart you're trying to build.
- So far, I'm getting used to the different functionality, and I'm impressed that I've been able to find everything I want, even if it is a little different than what I am used to.
- In a world of "just-in-time" learning, with an extensive library of shapes, it would be awesome to have a link for each shape type that takes you to a page with education around what the best practices are for the use of that variety of shapes.
- I like that templates are pre-populated as it helps see how they've been used, but it would be nice to have a blank template option, so you don't have to go to the trouble of erasing all the text and/or shapes that you don't need.
Lucidchart's intelligent workflow technology makes it easy for us to create process flows for our customer care team's standard operating procedures, which are both easy to understand and visually appealing for our new hires, as well as existing employees. This saves time and gives us the ability to create procedures quickly, while still ensuring they are clear.
- Easy to customize shapes for diagrams to match the user's brand strategy.
- Download process flows in various formats based on user's needs.
- Work with your projects anytime, anywhere - no need to worry about having to download bulky applications.
- Bandwidth - when working with complex workflows spanning multiple shapes and layers, the page tends to slow down and sometimes crash.
- Zooming in & out - when a workflow is spread out over multiple pages, the view can become small even with a large screen.
- Pricing - newly introduced monthly/annual pricing schemes are not as good as previous quarterly payment models.

- Drawing diagrams.
- Sharing and collaborating across the organization.
- Organizing the work to be done.

Lucid Chart for ADRs.
We’re using the software to map out strategic accounts' organizational structure and create some continuity between ADRs, AEs, and CSMs.
- Simple diagram tools.
- Adding key contacts to maps.
- Integrates with SalesForce.
- More ‘keys’.
- Links to opportunities or contracts direct from people on maps.
It really helps me to visualize workflows and decision-making diagrams.
I used to do these things in Word and it would cost me twice as much time as it does right now, Plus the options and opportunities are endless in Lucidchart.

- Templates
- Training new users
- It just works when you need it!
- Easy for me to share with external users and super simple for them to view my work.
- Make it even more simple/easy to use standard templates.
- As with most software/programs I feel that I'm only using 10% of its functions and capabilities, I'm challenging you guys to open up the entire space and get me engaged with your product!

Lucidcharts review
Using Lucidcharts for network topology designs. It is very easy and accessible to use. Downloading new shapes and an extensive shape library, the task completes seamlessly. It is a crucial tool for my team as each site contains a different network topology and designs. However, sometimes it feels a little uncomfortable as dots and pointers are very sensitive to movement.
