Intuitive, integrates well, and is a great way to change text into visual ideas
I'm not a super user, and there might be a way of doing it that I haven't explored, but I was looking for some specific icons that are just standard icons, and I found the icon library to be very focused on architecture icons. It didn't have as many standard or generic icons. Another thing that somewhat irritated me is the fact that there is a paste function in the menu, but when you right-click and select paste, it tells you that you can't use paste. You must press Command-V or Apple-V to paste. They give you a menu option to paste, but every time you use that, they say, "We don't accept it." On top of that, normally, you'd have an option for paste or paste values, but when you use the paste function, you don't have that capability. So, to copy text from one place, I have to use Command-V to paste it, but if I don't like the format, I've got to go back and do copy style and then paste style on top of that. It is a small detail, but when you're doing diagrams, it is annoying that they don't support paste values. It is a small irk. I'm not penalizing it, and I still think it is a five-star product. In terms of other bigger things, I don't really have any comments or criticism so far.

A desktop-based application, allowing the creation of multiple flows, but should provide a mobile version
It is a versatile tool suitable for various tasks, including process modeling. It is flexible when saving multiple formats, not just XML. It provides this offering, unlike other platforms like Cloud.io or SIP Chart. Additionally, it is a desktop-based application, allowing for the creation of multiple flows that can be easily accessed and edited. In contrast, other platforms like Product.io may have limitations, such as the inability to reopen previously built flows once logged off, necessitating a rebuild each time.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The interface is easy for a layperson to use and adapt to."
"Creating flowcharts and documentation is easy to do and the results are very nice."
"It is important that Lucidchart accommodates both Mac and PC users because if you support Mac, that means you also support the mobile applications on the iPad... Some of the other employees have access to an iPad, but not all of them do. When we're trying to talk through a process with them on-the-fly, or at the point of occurrence, it's so much nicer if we can both have it up on the iPad. That's why I would say the Mac support is essential."
"When it comes to documenting things like processes, systems, and new teams, I'd give it an eight or nine out of ten. It's very high because it's fairly intuitive, there's a low learning curve, and it's easy to get immediate output. You can get results very quickly without a lot of direct effort. You don't usually take a week-long series of training. You don't need to go through a lot of hoops to make it work."
"The wireframe and mock-up features have been the most useful so far. It's easy to create the mock-ups and then communicate to our development team what they need to look like. Lucidchart's capabilities for visualizing and understanding process flows or workflows is very good as well. I'm able to easily use any style of box that I need to create on a flowchart, to effectively communicate to our development team."
"In general, this product has improved our organization because it makes accessing up-to-date processes and planning a lot easier."
"Its ease of use is most valuable. As compared to draw.io, connecting the lines and doing things like that are much easier in Lucidchart. It has been great for some of the process flow diagrams and data flow diagrams. I can export these diagrams as PDFs and share them with team members."
"I like how all the contacts in my chart are linked to LinkedIn. That's what makes it really easy for outreach and for making sure we have all the contacts right there in front of us when we need to."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple and straightforward."
"Integrations with so many other tools make this platform highly useful."
"The solution's UI is very user-friendly, and it is not that hard to define the shapes you are looking for or to import them."
"Miro's flexibility is a main feature. It provides boards where I can put whatever is needed without limits."
"As a consultant managing multiple projects, I find Miro's collaboration features highly beneficial."
"Miro significantly enhances brainstorming sessions."
"Online Collaboration made it easy to brainstorm."
"It is a versatile tool suitable for various tasks, including process modeling."
 

Cons

"This might already be a feature, but I remember sometimes when we're just all viewing, if you accidentally click, then there's an arrow that pops up, and you have to go back and delete it. A lot of times there are accidental arrows being drawn when really we're just trying to present to each other."
"It would be nice to be able to import not just contacts from Salesforce but also leads. In the beginning, when I was still learning the ropes and my way around it, I couldn't find such an option. There might be an option, but I just don't know about it."
"I am not quite sure what different functionalities it provides as well as the difficulties other people are facing. When I have a better understanding of the solution, I will increase my rating of it. No solution is perfect, so I am sure that I will be facing some problems in the future."
"It would be helpful if there were different options available for organizing the folders, such as having a high-level display with pictures."
"The main improvement I would like to see is for them to improve the help section on the flow charts or on the formatting."
"If it could be a little more visual, in terms of being able to make it stand out a little bit more, then that would be helpful."
"When you want to add text to a connector arrow, I have not figured out how to position the text vertically. It always wants the text to stay horizontal."
"The UML diagram that it gave me initially was a huge flow with a bunch of UML tables, and I wasn't going to need that many. If it was a more simple linkage between the tables then it would be easier to finish projects, instead of having to select unnecessary tables and delete them."
"I would like to see enhancements in Miro, especially when working with tables like Excel."
"The product subscription is very expensive. The pricing could be better."
"The solution could be available on mobile."
"It should have a desktop version."
"When I imported an image to Miro, my friend saw it differently from what I saw when I changed the size of it."
"The text customization inside objects needs some enhancement, especially for the text written in rectangle shapes."
"I don't see the need to have updates in the product every other month or every other day."
"Maybe at some point, Miro should be able to use AI to provide analysis from the brainstorming sessions or files fed into it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Lucidchart's pricing model is not excessive, as compared to similar products. It is pretty much in line with everyone else."
"I was using the free version of Lucidchart, which was very helpful."
"There is a nominal charge for the paid version of the product. They have a free version available and from what I could see, there was not much difference between it and the pro version."
"Pricing-wise, it is pretty fair. I don't really know what group pricing looks like, but right now, I pay $10 a month for my Lucid subscription. One thing I would say is that I do worry about my bosses being okay with paying $10 a month for every single employee because we would have around 20 people. It makes me a little nervous about whether they are going to pay $200 a month for people to be able to use this software. At the same time, from where I'm sitting, it's totally worth it. We save a thousand dollars from using this software. It's still a no-brainer."
"At €167 per user per year, the pricing is slightly higher than Visio, but it's worth it."
"I pay $95 a year for it. It seems like a reasonable price."
"I have a subscription as an individual user for one year, and it is not expensive."
"The price of this product is a little bit high. It is probably 20% higher than what I expected to pay for such a solution."
"The initial cost of Miro was a bit high for me as a small company. However, considering its many benefits and the number of projects I have, it's reasonable and worth the investment."
"The product's price is low. Monthly and yearly subscriptions are available when it comes to the licensing part of the product."
"The product costs approximately $300 per user."
