Lucidchart vs Visual Paradigm comparison

"It is a very effective tool for documenting processes and using it has improved our efficiency significantly."

"The architecture and brainstorming features worked exceptionally well for me; no one in the organization had used it for brainstorming, and my implementation really helped with the visuals and capturing people's opinions and divergent thought processes."

"Creating flowcharts and documentation is easy to do and the results are very nice."

"In general, the usability is great. You have a ton of customization options with different colors, different borders, different thicknesses of lines, different types of arrows, et cetera. There's so much variety. You can really make a chart with all sorts of color-coding, and color charts in different colors, link them together, for example, or use different types of arrows for different types of links between the chart elements. That variety, while not a specific feature, is really useful. If you want to make a chart, you can basically do anything."

"One of the features that I really like is the collaboration aspect of it. During the pandemic, it's very important that we're able to collaborate virtually."

"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."

"The usability is very nice in terms of flowchart components that are available."

"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."

"It is a scalable solution since it can be used at an individual level as well as for enterprise-sized businesses."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"I like the fact that this solution is complete."

"What I like best about Visual Paradigm is its simple GUI, especially since I'm a new user. In my two years of experience with this tool, I didn't find it complex because I was able to learn how to use it via YouTube videos. Visual Paradigm is enough for me. I also find the bridging feature in the tool valuable."

"Visual Paradigm is simple and easy to use."

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

"The application is easy to use and provides informative diagrams."

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

"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."

"It can have more colors or graphics. Currently, it is a little boring. It can have a little bit more fun factor."

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

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

"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."

"Wireframing can be improved. For mock-ups and wireframing, only 10% of what is required is there. If they can develop this feature, it would be much better because it will then provide everything. Currently, we can design network diagrams, processes, etc., but we should also be able to do wireframing."

"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."

"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."

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

"The product can always get better as the industry changes."

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

"For me, what needs improvement in Visual Paradigm is the limited features included in the $99 license, which is the cheapest option. If more features could be included in the cheapest licensing package, Visual Paradigm would be better, especially for businesses that have a limited budget for buying software."

"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."

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

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

"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."

"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 price of this product is a little bit high. It is probably 20% higher than what I expected to pay for such a solution."

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

"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."

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

"I pay $95 a year for it. It seems like a reasonable price."

"The pricing is very reasonable, and they have a free trial available that you can play with."

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

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

"Compared to other solutions such as IBM Rational which is expensive, This solution is priced low."

"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 has two models available. One of them is the educational edition, and another is the business edition. For my personal usage, I use the educational version mostly. In a project, my customers have to purchase a 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."

"I rate Visual Paradigm's pricing a five out of ten."
