    Chose Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite
    Xmind is just a mind mapping application. It was created with that specific purpose, which makes it not so useful for general diagram creation or to strutucte a workflow process. However, there seems to be no application for Android phones, which is something they should work …

    Chose Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite
    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 …

    Chose Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite
    Lucidchart when compared to the competition is way ahead of them. It has a good number of features available in the free version and the other thing is that there is none to a little learning curve required to understand the product. It is fairly easy to use when we compare it …

    Chose Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite
    I wasn't engaged in decision making process of choosing diagramming tool. However from what I know main reasons were:
    • eays to access and use
    • fully cross-platform web-based solution

    Chose Xmind
    As Xmind draws a specific focus on mindmaps its functionality is very clear and easy to use. Other mindmap systems make you connect the topics and arrows yourself which can be very frustrating and finnicky. Its presentation is very clear and displayed cleanly.

    I personally think that Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite is the best visual collaboration software out there. I’ve used Canva, Apple Freeform, and Microsoft whiteboarding software, and none of them really measure up. If you want simple, easy, collaborative, and intuitive, then Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite is the best solution. At the same time, if you’re tight on budget, it’s probably not going to be a solution you can afford.

    Pros
    Lucid Software
    • 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.

    Cons
    Lucid Software
    • 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.

    • A few steps are needed to mark a label for each customized branch.
    • Branch customization, such as line width and style, could be improved.
    • Customization, such as a different shape of nodes, would be good.

    Lucid Software
    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

    The support around a bug in the tool which prevented the correct printing of diagrams. Support came back after a few days, and there was no workaround. Eventually, the bug was fixed in a future release. The company does not pay much attention to user forums. With better support and plugin mechanism for user contributions, the product would be more convincing.

    Lucidchart is well beyond Microsoft Visio and is constantly improving. Visio is pretty much stagnant and hasn't been improved for several years, Lucid is constantly adding new functionality like AI powered functions and tools. We have no reason to pay for Visio licenses when Lucid can provide so much more for less.

    Return on Investment
    Lucid Software
    • 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.
