Overall Satisfaction with Lucidchart

Lucidchart is used across the organization for groups that want to display certain processes, flows, or org charts. I work at an asset management company that has many different moving parts and asset classes with operations around the world, so all our groups create process maps to show how each of the business units interacts with one another and how processes work throughout each business group. It also helps us compile org charts and show how our legal entities tie into one another. All of this is especially helpful to show new hires to catch them up to speed and have for auditing purposes to show that we have all our operational processes mapped.
  • organizational charts
  • process mapping
  • personalization/customization
  • organization
  • price is high if you're a small business/individual
  • Can be slow/take a while to load
  • There is a bit of a learning curve with formatting and navigating the program
  • limited functionality if you choose to use the free version
  • Ease of auditing
  • Improve project efficiency
  • Ease of onboarding new hires and catching them up to speed
If you want to get your firm organized and document processes, workflow, org charts, or map out an idea, this software is great. It can be used whether it's on a company-wide scale, for personal, or educational use. There is a free version but it is limited in terms of functionality so depending on what you need it for you may have to upgrade. I recommend the paid version for a large company. If you're an individual I recommend the free version if it suits your needs.

Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite Feature Ratings

Using Lucidchart

The software is incredibly easy to use and can be used on both a personal and business scale. It really can help you map out processes in a business or help you begin to formulate ideas for personal or educational use. Having the free version is great since you can test out some limited functionality before committing to purchasing the full version.
