Overall Satisfaction with Lucidchart

The program is fairly easy to use, but does have some restrictions on the templates and tools that make it more difficult to learn. The program does, however, provide a large number of videos and informational clips to provide all the information that is needed. It is intuitive, but I did have to read and watch more videos than I might normally have to for some programs to learn how to use it. However, it is quite easy to learn for how complex the program actually is.
Lucidchart is being used in multiple areas of the college in various ways. We use it for organizational charting, project charting, programming work, mind mapping, and other work. This program is extremely flexible and provides an effective and efficient way for the college to perform a wide range of tasks that would take much longer using other tools. Updating charts is easier as well, because once the structure is built, we need to just update the sheet feeding the chart, and then refresh the chart and the information is up to date. Plus, we can publish the information in a variety of ways to share with stakeholders at varying levels. Lucidchart is an exceptional diagramming application!
  • Quick updates to existing charts
  • Publishing options
  • Project Management work breakdown structures
  • Organizational charts
  • More colorization options
  • More templates for project management
  • Easier way to link cells to blocks
  • More flexibility in modifying templates
  • Clear organizational structure understanding which helped with accreditation.
  • Ability to easily breakdown the work on projects to assist with building out well detailed project plans.
  • Assists with multiple mind mapping exercises for accreditation, project work, and other meetings.
I have utilized Google sheets with Lucidchart regularly to feed information from the sheet into a chart. Our programming team integrated GitHub and Lucidchart as well.
I have rarely needed support, but when I have, the support has been prompt and effective.
