Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite vs. Projecturf

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!

If you are looking to manage a project, and have multiple people contribute to that project then this is the tool to use.

• Serverless. You don't need to install another program to create diagrams, you just open a new tab and there you are, ready to go.
• Collaboration. You don't need to update your colleague diagram by creating a new file and creating a new file version, you both are in the same diagram and you and all the team are free to update it at any time, at the same time, you are seeing the same thing. That is really helpful and time-saving.
• Shapes. It has any shape that you can think of and Lucidchart is always updating them, I can create an Azure solution architecture, an AWS one, an old on-premise solution. Or just put standard shapes to describe a business process. Providing so many specific shapes help the diagram to express specific information, and for specific teams, that's less text and more visual information, you don't need to put a text below a standard database shape (this is an Azure SQL database), you just put the azure shape and done. That....is beautifully helpful.

• Bandwidth - when working with complex workflows spanning multiple shapes and layers, the page tends to slow down and sometimes crash.
• Zooming in & out - when a workflow is spread out over multiple pages, the view can become small even with a large screen.
• Pricing - newly introduced monthly/annual pricing schemes are not as good as previous quarterly payment models.

• Not a time entry system for budget and reporting

I am not in the position to choose our project management software, and my current company has already used our current software for a number of years. But if I were to ever use project management software for personal projects with remote team members then I think Projecturf would be a great contender for the job.

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.

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

Based on my personal experience, Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite is head and shoulders above any other competitor. Canva is good, but not intuitive at all. Miro is good as well, but not nearly as appealing and still lacks some of the logical functions that LucidSpark has. I’ve also used Apple FreeForm quite a bit, which is a free software with Apple. Once again you can accomplish the same things in any of these software, but Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite is so much better to the point that it is 3-4 times faster to use Lucid than Free Form or Canva.

After doing research on other platforms, Projecturf is the best platform for our needs

• Though I can't necessarily provide hard numbers, I can confidently say that Lucidchart has saved countless hours for myself and my teams as we don't need to try to develop some type of complex diagram using markup or any kind of code.
• I have previously been able to build a complete ERD using Lucidchart in a past position, which the company never had before. It ended up being used by countless teams in the company and ultimately in a large-scale data stack migration effort.

• Very positive, allows us to track progress and see ROI.
