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 …

Chose draw.io
I found the DRAW.IO to be more efficient and easy to use. It allows me to make quick edits and diagrams as my job requires. Competitor software is good too, however, for me, it was more complicated. Its a diagram, there is no need for it to be too complicated.

Chose draw.io
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…

It is positioned very well against its competitors, but what really makes it better is that it is very fast and is available all the time, you only use a browser and good internet speed.

Chose Microsoft Visio
Visio does a great job with flowchart work. If you already have a subscription to Office 365, then its not much more to add to your current license. draw.io is a free service that you can use online, but it requires you to be online in order to use it at all.

Other paid services have rather better aesthetics and template/graphic support compared to Visio. However, Visio is a clear winner being a part of the Microsoft family and the positives it brings along such as collaboration, service, etc.

It is a very complete tool, although it is not compatible with multiple devices. You can export your diagrams and share with different media or document management systems.

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.

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.

Overall, I feel that Microsoft's support is weak. They are now such a behemoth that their model of putting documentation online for their users to sift through is totally outgrown. Given the amount of money you pay for these licenses, Microsoft should provide easy one-on-one support for their products via email or chat. The idea of paying their rates for support incidents is ridiculous. If you have an enormous amount of time on your hands, use their support websites and you will eventually find a solution most of the time.

Even though it’s a more expensive solution, Vizio is built for the enterprise. Therefore, it integrates perfectly with our existing Microsoft stack, and quite frankly, because it’s such a more mature product, it provides exactly the functionality we need and expect.

Visio diagrams have help us streamline processes that reduce costs and improve efficiencies.
It is a very complete program, it allows you to make industrial and civil works diagrams. It also allows you to design 3D graphics. It is a very reliable program.
Its ability to work with vectors is a big plus. It can easily import SVG graphics, edit their individual lines and then being able to export the edited SVG again.
