Lucidchart vs Visual Paradigm comparison

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

"The interface is really good and it is very easy to use."

"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."

"Lucidchart's capabilities for visualizing and understanding process flows or workflows is excellent. The way that you put together the parts of charts and edit the chart are all very intuitive and easy to use."

"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."

"I love the simplicity and how clean all the different boxes, arrows, and charts can be. Especially with something complicated like our sales flow, it could be really easy to be all cluttered and everything like that, but my favorite feature is how clean it is, how straightforward it makes our flow look, and how easy it is to understand. Lucidchart accommodates both Mac and PC users which is important to us because at my company right now, our sales floor and then every other computer we have as a company is a Mac, but a lot of our employees actually have PCs and Android as well. So it's really beneficial because if we're ever on the go or we need to make a change, it's versatile and is open for both Mac and PC."

"Lucidchart is very visual in nature, and it is something that we do use extensively for stakeholder mapping, for example. If you want to build graphs for things like who the decision-makers are in a particular organization, Lucidchart can be used for that."

"The flow chart is most valuable. It is a very user-friendly and simple-to-use product. Quite quickly, I was able to understand how to use it and just get on with my process flow."

"Visual Paradigm is simple and easy to use."

"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 and intuitive to use, not excessively rigid, and quite flexible."

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

"What I found most valuable in Visual Paradigm is diagramming. I had a great user experience as diagramming in the tool is easy and convenient, even for complex diagrams or models. Visual Paradigm is the perfect tool for me, and I prefer it over Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect. Visual Paradigm is better for collaboration if you consider, for example, versioning, so this is another valuable tool feature that's simple and embedded in the solution. In Visual Paradigm, it's also easy to set up the project with team members and collaborate, and it's also a pro of the tool."

"I find it very user-friendly for my purposes, which is creating business process models that I can publish as HTML pages. It has worked flawlessly for my project, and my clients are able to utilize it as an internal web portal for their process documentation and other needs."

"The initial setup is extremely straightforward."

"Visual Paradigm is simple and easy to use."

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

"When my colleague initially tried to edit the file that I shared with him, he had some trouble. This is something that should be improved."

"One of the major drawbacks is that we have to extract the work in Lucidchart as an image when we want to create a presentation."

"There is a premium for the use of certain elements in Lucidchart... It becomes very annoying, especially if you are a first-time user of Lucidchart and you don't have a premium plan. It feels a little too restrictive, in terms of using very basic shapes and icons. It asks you to sign-up for the premium account, which I think shouldn't be the case."

"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."

"The flowcharting feature would be improved if it had some kind of prediction capability that helped to create the diagrams, such as the ability to automatically join components with my database."

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

"One of the issues has been that, as far as I understand, even to view it, the other person needs a Lucidchart account unless you send them a PDF. That's been a bit of an issue because some people in our organization don't have Lucidchart accounts, only certain people have logins. If we just want to collect comments from people, that's been a bit complicated."

"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."

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

"Takes up a lot of resources."

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

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

"I would like to see something for visualizing innovation work maps."

"The solution can be heavy on resource usage."

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

"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."

"Pricing-wise, it is pretty fair. I don't really know what group pricing looks like, but right now, I pay $10 a month for my Lucid subscription. One thing I would say is that I do worry about my bosses being okay with paying $10 a month for every single employee because we would have around 20 people. It makes me a little nervous about whether they are going to pay $200 a month for people to be able to use this software. At the same time, from where I'm sitting, it's totally worth it. We save a thousand dollars from using this software. It's still a no-brainer."

"I was using the free version of Lucidchart, which was very helpful."

"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."

"The licensing is pretty cost-effective but I haven't considered it on an enterprise level."

"Pricing comes in at about $100 for a year's subscription, which is very reasonable if this is a tool that you will use more than once."

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

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

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

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

"Visual Paradigm's pricing is not expensive."

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

"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."
