Such a pleasure to use! No hard learning curve. Sleek and simple and robust.
I must be honest: I have not used it extensively, but I have used similar software extensively, and compared to others, I am totally in love with Lucidchart. It is sleek and the creators seem to have thought of everything. I am on the free version, and it is robust.
Perhaps I have not used it long enough, but right now, I can't think of anything yet.

Very good
How easy it is to draw and manipulate lines, connect them to other shapes, etc. Large selection of shapes too, and it's nice to have icons like Amazon be easily importable.
The shape in which you can choose the number of sides and then manipulate it should be titled or have a tooltip explaining what it is. (it's a very useful tool and I didn't know about it for too long)

It does perform some amount of drawing and editing.
It is difficult to cancel. Don't forget to cancel before the billing cycle renews, if you are done using it.

Overall, great experience with Lucidchart. In fact, I may look for more opportunities to create charts just to use the application more.
The chart maker of Lucidchart has many great features that make for better charts than I could make with other similar tools.
The price is a bit constrictive. I would need a larger use-case for diagrams before committing to a long-term use of Lucidchart.

LucidCharts is pretty easy to use! I've been using the intermittently over the course of a few months, and I've not had to have anybody show me how to use the app formally.

We had a difficult project to understand and helped us a lot!
Do not have cons, we knew the program before and when we needed this solution, we used it.

This software was useful for helping me chart out a mid-sized but complex workflow for my workers.
This software makes it easy to make flow charts and then rapidly modify them based on team feedback. Great dynamic tool.
While I was able to make my exact flow chart, I came right up to the limit on the free version of the software. For folks with multiple projects or larger charts, the full version would probably be needed.

When it comes to wireframing, lucidchart has it. I love I can do my wireframes easily. I love I could diagram and do my flowchart. I love the drag and drop editor feature. I really make my project work easier.
Lucidchart has all it's features on point, there's always room for improvement. I haven't seen any feature I don't like yet.

That is really easy to present a diagram or flowchart for a presentation or representing a product.
For mu current usage, it is fine for now.

It helps a lot to create BPMN diagrams that are so important in our work. Creating it in web browser is very convenient and it not lacks any functionality.
Possibility to quickly create valuable BMPN diagrams that help us develop our company and processes.
Swim Line management seems more complicated to use than in other apps

My overall experience was wonderful. I would definitely continue to use.
Absolutely loved using Lucid for a project I didn't know where to start at. After research I cam across Lucid Chart and was able to make a process flow chart to show processes in out department.
I had no issues at all navigating the software. It was definitely the easiest software I came across

One of the things that I like most about this product is that you don't have to install anything, and everything is online. Since I am running a dual system of Linux and Windows 10, this cross-platform feature is very appealing to me. However, the input method could be better, such as including more fonts, and also put a panel to input the geek symbols. Overall this is a very good product. Thank you for your work!
cross-platform, no need to install.
It's not as convenient as Visio, especially in typing the geek symbols.

I like how easy it was to make a flow chart on it, I used it to make a complex workflow process, and I really enjoyed all the features it had. There were different ways to customize it, and it was so easy to download and share.
Honestly, I found it easy to use; maybe it can have an in-depth tutorial for someone new.

Again, a great tool to use when building out a sales funnel and communicating your vision with others
I like to use this tool, as a digital marketer, to plan out my sales funnel. Visualizing the funnel in this way makes it not only easier to plan out, but simpler to communicate with other team members.
Not any problems, just takes a little bit of time to get to learn and understand.

The software is incredibly flexible and easy to use. The software to great because it helps me visualize all the various software programs I need to implement within the company.
One thing I don’t like about the software is that it occasionally can be difficult to learn. I think it would be very helpful if the software provided a short tutorial for beginners.

It is a web-based platform which means you will get all the updates immediately. It has real-time collaboration which makes it easy to be used as a whiteboard as well.
Because it has not got a desktop app, opening several browser tabs could slow down your PC. But overall it is a great diagramming software

Oveall I have not found a cheaper and freerer alternative to lucidchart so far
I have a free lucidchart account to make flowcharts. They are very easy to make and there are a host of options to decorate them
I do not like the grid in lucidchart as it does not allow very precise positioning of objects. Please reduce the least count of grids

This is a great online charting tool. It has all the feature anyone would need to create various charts and diagrams. Very easy to use, and the UI is intuitive
Not having a desktop version. Although I'm able to create everything I need online, being a bit old school, a desktop app would make the whole experience a lot more personal and easier to manage
