Overall Satisfaction with Lucidchart

Intuitive is the word. If you've ever used anything graphic like Adobe, all the functionality is immediately... intuitive. When I first opened it, I was shocked at how high up the learning curve I began, just based on how well they've adopted industry practice. The only thing that took some getting used to was dragging shapes onto the page rather than drawing them from scratch.
I use LucidChart every day for every project. It's gotten to the point that if I'm in a meeting, I've included in the invite a link to the LucidChart we'll be looking at and working within as a team during the meeting. It has largely replaced meeting agendas, meeting notes, and follow-ups. Being able to work visually has been a tremendous help in every corner of our company. The simplicity, auto-operations, and flexibility truly thread the needle between being too simple that it would be frustratingly limiting, and too complex that it would be frustratingly opaque. It's a perfect sweet spot, right down the middle.
  • Team Integration
  • Tool availability
  • Automation of formatting
  • Clean layout and design
  • LucidSpark and LucidChart should be one product
  • More prompts to try features *inside* a document rather than on the home page. I'm not going to click to watch a video on my home page, but a little unobtrusive "Clippy" in the corner saying "do you want to tag a teammate in a comment?" That would get more engagement.
  • Project communication has never been more clear
  • Cohesion within the teams
  • Graphic representation has been superior to the written word
I haven't actually used any of this personally, but I know our company uses the integration with Salesforce constantly. Every client has a flowchart and every flowchart is synced between LucidChart and Salesforce, so it's been a huge value add.
I haven't had to ask questions, but certainly, they've been communicative.

Asana, Adobe Illustrator CC, Todoist: To-Do List & Task Manager
Ahead of a project initiating process, we'll send an Asana form to our key stakeholders on a project, collect information, use that information to draft a LucidChart, and show up to our initial exploratory meetings with a LucidChart we can all "meet" in. It's replaced a boardroom in our virtual world. Team members can drop post it's of whatever color anywhere on the chart as needed and we are all on the same page. Great stuff!
