Comment summary: Lucidchart is praised for its intuitive interface and extensive shape library, making it easy to use for creating diagrams and flowcharts. Users find it beneficial for team collaboration and appreciate its cloud-based versatility. While it is celebrated for its compatibility with various operating systems and import features, some critique its limitations for free users and the web-based model's reliance on an internet connection. Overall, it's seen as a cost-effective alternative to Visio with a few noted drawbacks.

Was looking for something quick, easy and cheap to do flowcharts. I trialled a couple of programs both offline and online and Lucidchart was the best one I found (must admit I stopped looking after using Lucidchart). I found it very easy to use without needing any instructions, the couple of issues I couldn't figure out for myself was able to figure out quickly with their online community help. I'd highly recommend Lucidchart.

I don't like the idea of the software being web-based. By assuming every person making a flowchart is working with a global network of colleagues in a world where Internet is accessible everywhere, the simple use of a flowchart software is omitted.

You can give Creately a try. They do offer a desktop software which cost 75$, which is lot cheaper than MS Visio. However If you are only trying to draw a simple flowchart then something like MS Word or Paint is also fine.

I don't like the subscription model. I want to buy software, use it offline where and when I choose to do so. .vss import is a nice plus. I'm sticking with Droiddia for now, because of the freedom it offers.

Lucidchart is a great tool for creating diagrams, flowcharts, and visual representations of ideas. Its intuitive interface and extensive library of shapes make it easy to simplify complex processes. The tool can be used for varierty of purposes and allows for real time collaboration which are helpful to either build a process together or use as demonstration.

There is so much to Lucidchart to love. All of it, in fact! The usability is great yet somehow still advancing daily, while the functionality is key to deliver successfully in all aspects of my work life.

Definitely one of the best diagramming software out there and it is very beginner-friendly.

Great amount of features, but if it's worth depends on how often you use diagramming tools. It has a steep learning curve, but has some pretty useful features/shortcuts once you adjust to it.

What is Lucidchart?

Lucidchart is a cloud-based platform that combines diagramming, collaboration, and data visualization tools. It allows real-time visual collaboration for activities like brainstorming, creating flowcharts, and building UML diagrams. Serving over 20 million users in 180 countries, its clients include 99% of the Fortune 500 companies. Founded in Utah in 2010, Lucidchart provides regular updates for continuous user experience improvement. It supports Visio import and export, and allows diagrams to be exported as PDFs or images. The platform includes standard features like flowcharts, swimlanes, ERD, wireframes, and mind mapping, with the option to create custom libraries. Lucidchart, often compared to Microsoft Visio, sets itself apart by enabling simultaneous collaboration on the same document, accessible via any modern browser.
