The Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite empowers teams to ideate, plan, design, build, and launch game-changing solutions from a shared infinite canvas.
Both of them are pretty good on the same level, but draw.io felt more fluid to use than Lucidchart. Lucid had a clunky interface for our taste, and Draw.io has a better user experience with respect to usability. It's a pretty compelling reason for us to switch to Draw.io from …
Draw.io is a free online diagram drawing application for workflow, BPM, org charts, UML, ER, network diagrams. No login or registration are required and features include the ability to save locally (including svg), a range of stencils, .vsdx, Lucidchart and Gliffy import and …
I find Draw.io to be a happy medium between the options available. It doesn't quite offer the flexibility and power of Xmind or Visio, but it lives in the cloud and doesn't require software installations or similar hassles. The main contenders in my mind ended up being Lucidchar…
Lucidchart has a better UI and better organized Icons than draw.io. It is also a little more intuitive to use. The only feature I like more in draw.io is the fact that it lets you select the size of the "snap to" grid, the arrows are more intuitive to use to connect icons …
Figma has a learning curve so only the designers use it and it's fine and good. There is a huge library of templates, plugins, and practically you can make anything and everything you want to. However, the other people like engineers in my team don't know how to use it and also …
draw.io is also a good tool, but compared to Lucidchart, which doesn't have many components. For the collaborative approach, Lucidchart is far better than others.
There are nice features in Miro and Figma for designers but I honestly find working on their canvas to be disorienting and the documents/artifacts created are not useful to how I need to communicate things. draw.io as a tool seems similar to Lucidchart but the functionality is …
A very big difference for me was how you store your document: Lucidchart stores it with your account, while in the draw.io you have to store the file on your own. Also, there is a difference in how you work with icons and shapes: I had to resize them very often to align with …
Lucidchart, draw.io, Miro all deliver the same core functionality of diagramming software. Lucidchart has integration ecosystem, with so many tools/apps (Asana, Google Sheets live connector, Saleforce, etc) that why enterprises and business choose Lucidchart. Compared to Miro, …
We used both solutions before deciding to use LucidChart. Creately works really great and is an excellent option, but their pricing was so outside of our requirements that it did not make sense to continue with our demo. Also, their salespeople did not follow up with us, they …
draw.io is a free tool which has very limited functionality. Some of the advanced features like AI based generation and templates are not available in other applications. Also, I’ve used bot framework for different purposes. If customer wants to collaborate and they don’t have …
There has never been another tool that has came close for me. None of these tools had the options, ease of use, and performance that Lucidchart has continuously had for me. I have found the other tools to be clunky, unresponsive, and lacking the variety and options that …
Lucidchart is a better experience but I'm not an architect or classic engineer. I'm a software engineer and I appreciate Lucidchart more for the ease of use and themes/colors it brings to the user experience.
I have also had experience in the above-mentioned tools. Each and every product of this is getting help from this. I really recommend users go deep into each product, and they can see the magic with the desired output. Thanks to Lucidchart and its product.
The variety, quantity, and quality of templates help you initiate activities. I have loved how Lucidchart has made it possible to put our planning into images that are easily translated and understood. Plus the ability to collaborate all together or on our own on the same board …
The grouping/ungrouping and locking help preserve and organize the chart components once they've solidified based on team feedback. The "create arrow" tool helps create a quick flow based on cards already built.
I have previously [used] some other chart tools, but what makes Lucidchart the proffered one is the simplicity and the efficiency of using it. The existing templates were really helpful, first of all because I understood better what type of diagram suits better our needs, and …
Lucidchart in my books is the superior application to the ones I have listed for the specific needs my team used it for. It provided a much easier setup process and the working space is much more clear to newcomers and people who have not used such an application before.
It's very easy to collaborate on the same file with team members and create simple concepts and flowcharts that you can use in the development process. It is also very handy for creating graphs and tables for presentations. Since this is a web application, we can use it anywhere, anytime and on any device; which provides great flexibility and accessibility. It also offers the functionality to save your work as you develop it, which is very helpful.
It is hard to think of ways in which Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite would not be best suited to provide an effective tool for any organization to find success in its use. Whether it is a visual display to map an organizational structure, a collaboration to find an answer of how to improve workflow, or even to display the upcoming budget needs, working in Lucid can seamlessly provide that!
Draw.io offers a lot of shapes and customizability of how the diagrams are laid out. We've been able to create a lot of different things with it, and have barely scratched the surface of the sorts of things that we could do.
Draw.io is fairly intuitive in the way that you draw shapes and connect shapes together, I was able to figure it out without a tutorial.
Draw.io is fast and performant for me compared with some of the alternatives.
Large number of predefined charts, diagrams, flows
A great repository of various symbols and objects
The easiness of using and manipulating objects and shapes. There is a lot of auto-editing and adjusting which the software does for you which saves a lot of your time.
Easy way of duplicating shapes.
While working with the app everything feels organic and natural. You don't get the clunky/limited feeling which happens with some other similar apps.
One element that was hard to use was converting pre-existing drawings and workflows from Gliffy to Draw.io once our company made the change. While we were able to complete the migration, when going back we noticed, oftentimes, some formatting and dependencies did not make it or were not compatible.
While the template repository is vast, it has a heavy focus on network style maps. It would be ideal for added diversity in the templates with a focus on workflows just as much.
While the integrations are strong, the cloud collaborative environment could still use some work. While you can save and edit in the cloud. Group editing and live dynamic sharing/editing similar to Microsoft office are still missing.
Draw.io could add some version control functionality for ease of rollback, auditing, & comparison.
I have used the templates before and those are nice! I would like to see more
The ONLY complaint I can come up with is that there has been several times that my screen will lock up and i have to fully refresh it, even when it is a fairly fresh load.
The interface is easy to use and understand and most features feel very familiar from the start. There are so many features and functions that users may not know it can be done without some instruction. Lucid's champion network is a great, fun resource to learn more about the product.
The support for draw.io is pretty decent, considering it is a free website. I had a question one time when I was trying to do something, so I sent an email to their support email and got a response fairly quickly with an answer to my question. They also have some excellent support tools on their support website for helping you get more familiar with their program, and I found that very helpful.
I would rate the overall support for Lucidchart as a 9. The support provided is generally robust and responsive. Their help center, tutorials, and webinars offer extensive resources for users. The ticket-based support system is effective, providing timely resolutions to most issues. Moreover, they actively gather user feedback, demonstrating a commitment to continuous improvement
Draw.io is totally free and it has most of the features a commercial product like Visio would have, so I think it is a go-to. It has good integration with Google Drive and it can export to a variety of files. You are not constrained by some commercial proprietary file format. It can be used in a browser on any device or downloaded as a desktop app.
We started using LucidChart after switching from another visual collaboration tool. The import process worked surprisingly well - way better than anyone on our team was expecting. Lucidchart itself is simple to use, easy to collaborate with coworkers, has a ton of built-in diagram components, and has a supportive community around it complete with webinars from highly entertaining and engaging presenters.
It sure has. It has saved me a lot of time. Think of all the time I could have wasted trying to learn a program that does the same thing, whereas Lucidchart just does it with ease, learn as you go, and be a boss at it.
Lucidchart has increased productivity. My diagrams have helped co-workers find connectivity and helped them troubleshoot devices. This has saved time and increased productivity.
