Lucidchart vs Visual Paradigm comparison

"Documenting things such as processes, systems, and new teams has been my primary use case. Lucidchart is really, really valuable for its ability to create a process chart from start to end. The web app makes it easy because everything is similar to other tools like Visio but Lucidchart feels a little bit more intuitive. It has been easy to use the web app. I definitely have learned a lot about how to bring in my own graphics or images in place of some of the shapes and I'm able to create and use the arrows within the processes, so it definitely has been useful for me."

"The interface is very good and easy to use. We don't need documentation on how to use it. It is self-explanatory, which is very convenient for a new user."

"Lucidchart is a 10 out of 10 when it comes to documenting things such as processes, systems, and new teams. It's just so user-friendly. The fact that even if you've never used Lucidchart, if you take a template and adapt it, you'll inevitably find something to fit your needs, but it's also perfect for building from scratch. It's the ease of use, clarity, and the different functionalities that make it incredibly useful."

"In general, this product has improved our organization because it makes accessing up-to-date processes and planning a lot easier."

"I really like the drag and drop feature because it makes the work easier. It is very easy to use. All the pieces are very good. All the icons and all the fields are available in the left panel. So, I just click, drag, and then edit a piece. When I showed it to my managing director, he was very inspired, and he also got a premium account for himself."

"I like the panel on the left of the screen that has all of the shapes that are available to use in the charts. It's easy to use because you can just drag and drop."

"When it comes to documenting things like processes, systems, and new teams, I'd give it an eight or nine out of ten. It's very high because it's fairly intuitive, there's a low learning curve, and it's easy to get immediate output. You can get results very quickly without a lot of direct effort. You don't usually take a week-long series of training. You don't need to go through a lot of hoops to make it work."

"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."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

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

"The solution is stable. It hasn't crashed, stopped or caused any issues in any way."

"The most valuable feature of Visual Paradigm is the ability to design form flows, add libraries, create organizational charts, and connect them all together."

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

"It is easy-to-use and it helps understand its data modeling structure through the intuitive user interface."

"I love Visual Paradigm because it has many different types of diagrams. For any field of engineering, we can find a diagram."

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

"The communication with sales has been pretty poor. They have been spotty in terms of response. So far, that has been our problem with it. We were in contact with one of their representatives, but he just kind of disappeared one day and we couldn't find him anymore. He has not been responsive to email."

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

"Lucidchart subset their older components or something like that had happened. I don't entirely know the totality of it, but we were forced to upgrade to a different integration with Lucid than what we had. I've had a lot of frustrations with that because I've lost a lot of diagrams. I can't get them back and I'm getting pop-ups that are showing me that our data will be loading and I can't run four or five years of my engineering diagrams"

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

"Perhaps it already exists, but if there were software to install the solution on a Mac, that would be helpful. I see that it's not in the App Store, so that's something that could be improved."

"As far as I know, LucidChart can’t be automated with Visual Basic .Net like Visio."

"It would be helpful if there were different options available for organizing the folders, such as having a high-level display with pictures."

"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 was looking to generate code from the diagrams, but it was not totally clear how to do it."

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

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

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

"I would like to see the ability to easily export to groupware, such as Atlassian Confluence."

"Visual Paradigm can improve by having better process mining tools and model integration."

"There is a certain inherent complexity when creating UML diagrams."

"The solution's technical support can be improved and accessible for our company location since Visual Paradigm follows a remote support model with some challenges."

"One of the reasons we were able to get approval within two hours from our management was that it was cheap enough. We have a 3% or 10% collaboration package, which comes out to be 70 bucks a year. It was very cheap, and we had no issues actually getting the full version. It was very affordable for a business."

"I was using the paid version, but at $12 USD per month, I canceled the plan because it was a little bit too expensive for me."

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

"Lucidchart's pricing model is not excessive, as compared to similar products. It is pretty much in line with everyone else."

"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."

"I have only used the trial version and have not yet paid for it, or explored the pricing options."

"The price and licensing are good."

"We chose Lucid based on the price comparison between it and draw.io... Lucidchart was about 15 percent cheaper per user... I was surprised to learn that it came with a separate subscription model and was not included in my existing Lucidchart subscription."

"In terms of pricing, I find Visual Paradigm's subscription services reasonable, especially for the modern and standard editions. However, the premium products can be a bit pricey, especially considering our location in the Middle East. Currently, paying around a hundred dollars per user translates to almost six hundred Egyptian pounds, which can add up. For enterprise licensing, I think the perpetual license option could be more affordable. If it were cheaper, say around five hundred dollars, I would have invested in multiple perpetual licenses long ago. Sometimes, to manage costs, we share accounts among team members or switch access on and off for certain members who aren't actively working on projects. As for additional costs, there are charges for cloud services, which I'm considering because I've already exceeded the free capacity."

"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."

"You can use Paradigm on a subscription basis and you can choose from different tiers of subscription."

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

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

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

"This is an open-sourced solution, it is free to use."
