Lucidchart vs Visual Paradigm comparison

"It's very easy to use. I didn't go through any tutorials or any documentation. It was very easy for me to start. It is intuitive. Right after logging in, I was able to quickly just drag and drop and do the things I wanted to do, without any prior knowledge of the solution."

"For documenting processes and systems, I would rate the solution a nine out of 10. I'm not aware of any other software that is as usable as this, because of the templates. They make documenting these things really easy."

"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 swimlanes feature is one that I use a lot. I have used swimlane diagrams to create business process flows and I think that it does the job pretty well."

"I've been using Lucidchart for quite simple things, but it's definitely much easier making process maps using Lucidchart than it is using Google Docs for basically everything. It's much simpler in terms of how easy it is to use Lucidchart. The way that you can get the arrows on the flow charts, based on the process mapping, you can drag the arrows from one box to another and it automatically shows you where you can put it. It makes decisions for you in terms of if you have a decision diamond, then the line is automatically a yes or no. This just makes it so much easier."

"It gives information about the roles and responsibilities of any architecture system and the exact system flow, business flow, or process flow. It also gives information about how the development team should take it forward. It shows the gap analysis in the flow charts and makes it easy to define the actor and his roles and responsibilities in the organization."

"The most valuable feature is the ease of use, and just being able to drag and drop."

"The interface is very user-friendly and it is not a hassle to use the site at all. They did a really good job in that regard."

"Visual Paradigm allowed me to create UML diagrams efficiently."

"Visual Paradigm is simple and easy to use."

"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup was straightforward."

"The Visual Paradigm business process forms for designing we good. There was not a lot of configuration for the process diagram."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"The initial setup is extremely straightforward."

"The solution is very user-friendly. It's easy to just open it and start working."

"The solution is the best application for data modeling. It helps to architect business processes. Its best features are pricing and functionality."

"When you log in the first time, they ask you a lot of questions, such as what are you going to use it for. Half of the things weren't applicable to me. I couldn't see the skip button, so I picked random things because none of the given options was applicable to me. It is a tech startup, and I am in a consultant role. I use it for a variety of things, but the questions were tailored for HR professionals who are creating org structures or IT professionals who are doing data flow diagrams. What if I do both of them depending on the project I'm working on? I just felt that I am wasting time with those questions and just wanted them to stop asking me these questions and get into charting."

"I would like to have more text boxes to write more comments so I can write a small note below a picture. I would like some flexibility."

"They could provide more documentation or tutorials of ERDs or DDD on the Lucidchart site. That could be better."

"When I download a flowchart as a PDF file, it breaks it up. I would like to see the continuous display of flow charts, even if they are larger than one page."

"The layering is something that can be improved because sometimes, it is confusing for me when I'm trying to get to the layer that I want to edit."

"It would be really helpful if we could create a process flow based on a Word Document or a PPT file."

"Although it comes with a lot of pre-existing tools, it would help if it had some more design templates. By now, they must know what kinds of things people are trying out, and that should help them create more templates. I would also like to see a little more automation."

"In terms of improvement, there can be more templates. There are good templates but there could still be more."

"From time to time, we experience some troubles when we work as teams."

"It's still early for me to comment since I've only been using it for two months, but the responsiveness when diagramming needs to be improved."

"The user interface is not easy to navigate, so it should be made easier."

"There is room for improvement in the licensing model. I would suggest implementing country-specific pricing, as many other products in India do. This would make Visual Paradigm more affordable and accessible."

"The solution can improve by updating the user interface, and graphics."

"Visual Paradigm is heavier and has more complexity than one of its competitors, e.g. Lucidchart. It could have been better if it was more simplified."

"More flexibility when choosing the type of diagram would be nice."

"The solution is not user-friendly. It uses a lot of memory and CPU. You have to have a good computer to use it."

"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."

"I have a subscription as an individual user for one year, and it is not expensive."

"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."

"At €167 per user per year, the pricing is slightly higher than Visio, but it's worth it."

"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 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 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."

"I had a quick glimpse of it. It was about 100 Canadian Dollars a year for just me. I don't know if there are any additional costs."

"The pricing of Visual Paradigm is very appropriate and affordable. There are no hidden costs involved."

"Visual Paradigm costs $99 per license. I chose the cheapest option from the pricing list."

"Over the years I've seen an increase in price, and it makes it difficult for a single person company, like me, to decide whether to extend the license."

"Visual Paradigm's pricing is not expensive."

"You can move between the tiers from month to month so you are not restricted to one pricing model."

"Pricing for Visual Paradigm is a four out of five for me. I'm happy with its pricing."

"I rate the pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"This product is fairly cheap, but if you want more complex features, e.g. integration with other products, it does require an additional cost."
