Pros

I mostly use Lucidchart for ERD's and love the fact you can have the SQL script generated off the ERD that you create. It makes life a whole lot easier.

Cons

I wish that you could have the SQL script create the foreign key constraints on the newly created tables & columns.

Pros

The biggest plus is the ability to use other products (such as supporting Visio files). I also appreciate the option to export or use the web interface.

Cons

It took me a while to discover which type of visualization worked best for my projects (flowchart vs. wireframe, etc.).

Pros

For anyone who needs to create flow charts or process flows, but finds that PowerPoint doesn't give you enough choice (but you don't want the complex tools like Visio), LucidChart is the perfect fit.

Cons

While it is beneficial to have the multiple levels/folders for storing documents created in LucidChart, I do find that it can be complex to search and find for things you have created.

Pros

I had never used this before or anything like this. It works really well to have multiple tabs showing multiple workflows. You can design anything from Org Charts to customer workflows and the flow of everything is really easy to follow.

Cons

The charts themselves look great but it can be a bit difficult to learn how to do everything. Once you get the hang of it, it's really functional but there are so many options so if you're not used to it, it takes a bit.
