Overall Satisfaction with Lucidchart

The drag and drop option was clear and easy to use. Understanding libraries of shapes was tough at first, which is the reason for the 9/10. I think it's simply because as a first-time user, I expected the different libraries to function like clip art and ended up searching for common shapes that weren't industry-specific.
Lucidchart has been an excellent tool for visualizing complicated concepts. We've used Lucidchart's flowchart tool with toggled layers to create dynamic troubleshooting documents that let users follow steps in a logical way, rather than simply reading off of a checklist.
  • Easy to use
  • Integrates with Confluence well
  • Looks great
  • Getting in and out of layers is somewhat clunky
  • We've improved productivity with the runbooks we pair with Lucidchart.
We use Lucidchart with Atlassian to supplement our runbooks, which is the biggest strength when educating our CS department.
I haven't had a need to reach out, but I was impressed by the account manager who sought out some time with me to educate me on the platform.
