    Quick, easy to start with, good templates to begin modifying, integration with OneDrive, free! So far, it's everything I'd expect from a paid-for app like Visio.

    It's NOT free. Lucidchart allows users to create up to 3 mind maps for free.

    andrewbailey

    Visual Paradigm is a real modeling tool while Lucidchart is only a drawing tool. Visual Paradigm supports modeling by allowing the reusability of model elements in different diagrams. It also supports the transitioning and maintaining the traceability among models (e.g. as-is BPD to to-be BPD). Visual Paradigm supports the integration with IDEs like Eclipse, Visual Studio, NetBeans and IntelliJ IDEA.
