Overall Satisfaction with Lucidchart
It is used to document as-is and to-be business processes (using swim lane diagrams), as well as the data flow between systems. In my case, these diagrams are used to document processes for maintaining data privacy standards compliance.
- Creating swim lane diagrams.
- Creating data flow diagrams.
- Sharing diagrams with stakeholders and getting their feedback.
- The rubber band selection of drawing elements (to support moving them on the drawing) doesn't work well.
- I'd like to be able to import template libraries from Visio.
- When I re-size a swim lane (in a swim lane diagram) the drawing elements in the other swim lanes should stay in the swim lane where they are drawn. Today, when I resize a swim lane I must move all the other drawing elements.
- I don't have hard numbers. But, I can say that the effort required to collaborate with users is improved over using Visio.

I greatly prefer Lucidchart over Whimsical. Lucidchart is a solid alternative to Visio. From a cost and usability standpoint, Lucidchart is a much better value than Microsoft Visio.
