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.

Helps streamline thought processes of users
There was no need for me to use the tool's integration capabilities. From a ground level, I use the tool to prepare a mind map based on my own thoughts, so I don't see any value in the product. The tangible benefits I have experienced from the implementation of the product stem from the fact that a lot of thought processes are involved, and it also streamlines thought processes. The template helped me to define a lot of functionalities, and understand the functionalities of each vertical. Everything is easy in the product. I have experience with the free version of the solution, so I am not sure about the pricing. Even if the pricing part is considered for the solution, I feel it is really cheap and affordable. When I used to use the product in the past, GenAI was not a part of the tool. AI is not required everywhere. Just because AI is available, it doesn't mean that it has to be everywhere and it is not the right approach. AI probably provides some suggestions to help users. The mobile version looks easier for me. The product offers desktop and mobile versions. The value derived from the use of the product around the fact that the thought process gets streamlined, and you will feel well-organized using the product. I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Lucidchart enables me to put down on paper what I was visualizing in my head. It makes it more shareable than only using words."
"The organizational charts for visualizing and understanding team hierarchies and relationships are the reason why we purchased the package that would allow me to do more with it. I tried to find all the cheap ways to do things but the ease of access and the already preset structure that Lucidchart had in place made it easier. Out of all the choices that I saw come across my desk, Lucidchart was the best and easiest choice."
"In general, this product has improved our organization because it makes accessing up-to-date processes and planning a lot easier."
"The usability is very nice in terms of flowchart components that are available."
"The interface is really good and it is very easy to use."
"I love the fact that you can just integrate a drawing into Google Slides. I build a lot of visuals in Lucidchart, and then, rather than sharing them directly from Lucidchart, I just build Google Slides decks for senior management, and I link the Lucidchart on the cloud version to a slide image. That makes it easy. This way, I can build in one tool and show in another."
"Lucidchart's ability to create a visualization that people prefer to look at, over reading written documents, has definitely saved me a lot of time. Moreover, it has helped to make my code bug-free because I no longer have broken endpoints."
"As a consultant managing multiple projects, I find Miro's collaboration features highly beneficial."
"Integrations with so many other tools make this platform highly useful."
"It is a versatile tool suitable for various tasks, including process modeling."
"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 significantly enhances brainstorming sessions."
"Miro's flexibility is a main feature. It provides boards where I can put whatever is needed without limits."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple and straightforward."
"Online Collaboration made it easy to brainstorm."
 

Cons

"One downside is that you can only modify things online, but when you download work, you download it as an image. It would be useful to have an option to modify it locally."
"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."
"Lucid should create some proper documentation and video tutorials to demonstrate the capabilities of the product to new users. It should explain everything that it offers and everything that it can be used for."
"I don't know if I will be able to add some animations if I want to. I believe the problem may be the program's process flows but if I want to transfer it into a PPP or any other document, I can only do image transfer."
"A couple of times when I tried to move a line, connecting two shapes on an organizational chart, occasionally the line doesn't move as intuitively as I think it should. I have to fiddle around with it a few times to get it to do what I want it to do."
"There is a basic function that I struggle with, in the interface, which is having to switch between the editing and navigation modes. A lot of clicks are required when switching between edit and navigation modes and I think that many could potentially be avoided by handling the tasks at the same time."
"It would be nice to have more features that help me visually present information. Since I use it as a canvas, my use case for it is probably very specific. I use it as a way to present information to people visually on a large mind map. So, it would be nice to be able to have more graphical things to clean it up, like a header, banners, or something to help draw attention to certain areas. I would also like more infographic-like features, because I am kind of limited to float chart shapes. This makes the solution a little cumbersome."
"In terms of improvement, there can be more templates. There are good templates but there could still be more."
"The product subscription is very expensive. The pricing could be better."
"The solution could be available on mobile."
"I don't see the need to have updates in the product every other month or every other day."
"The text customization inside objects needs some enhancement, especially for the text written in rectangle shapes."
"Maybe at some point, Miro should be able to use AI to provide analysis from the brainstorming sessions or files fed into it."
"I would like to see enhancements in Miro, especially when working with tables like Excel."
"When I imported an image to Miro, my friend saw it differently from what I saw when I changed the size of it."
"It should have a desktop version."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its pricing is very affordable and reasonable for the features that it provides. I am using its basic plan, and for my usage, it is perfectly reasonable. It suits perfectly."
"I'm happy with the pricing of Lucidchart but I can't say I'm completely happy with it. It could be cheaper for what it offers, about $5 cheaper, or Lucid could charge $5 more and add more features, like automation. Right now, it's $15 per user per month... On the other hand, they have made their billing super-easy for users, such as for people who have to do expense reports. It is probably the easiest platform I'm using when it comes to billing for software as a service."
"We signed up for the month-to-month and it charged us all at once for the whole year. I believe we signed up for the $7.99 one. I think that was the price."
"The pricing is very reasonable, and they have a free trial available that you can play with."
"Lucidchart's pricing model is not excessive, as compared to similar products. It is pretty much in line with everyone else."
"The pricing and licensing are fine. It has a lot of features that I prefer over some of the other programs, which is good. Being that it is web-based, I feel that it is acceptable that it's on a monthly pay basis. However, I think I pay on an annual basis, which is fine with me."
"The licensing is pretty cost-effective but I haven't considered it on an enterprise level."
"The price was low enough to make me think that it was fine, I'll go for it. I think it's $80 or so. It's not too expensive."
"The product costs approximately $300 per user."
"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."
