What did you like?

Wir nutzen Lucidspark hauptsächlich um intern in unserer Agentur zu brainstormen. Das machen wir hauptsächlich zu unterschiedlichen Prozessen die intern ablaufen. Mit Lucidspark können all unsere Mitarbeiter, egal ob im Homeoffice oder von irgendwo anders unterwegs aus an ein und demselben Board live zusammen mitarbeiten und ihre Ideen einbringen. Am besten gefällt mir, dass dies wirklich live geschieht und ich sehen kann, was meine Kollegen just in time in dem Tool eintragen. Zudem ist das Tool sehr übersichtlich und es erfordert keinerlei Einarbeitung.

What did you not like?

Was mir an dem Tool nicht gefällt ist der Fakt, dass es bei zu vielen Nutzern die in derselben Zeit am selben Board arbeiten einfach sehr unübersichtlich wird. Ungefähr ab 15 bis 20 Nutzern die in einem Board arbeiten sieht man nur noch ein Gewimmel an Cursorn und alle Leute verschieben gefühlt die digitalen Notizzettel und schreiben Dinge auf das Board. Das kann sehr schnell zu Verwirrung führen und einfach unübersichtlich sein. Ich würde empfehlen, dass Tool etwas übersichtlicher zu gestalten und vielleicht die Cursoranzahl auf maximal 10 Cursor zu reduzieren.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

Wie erwähnt nutzen wir Lucidspark hauptsächlich um gemeinsam an internen Prozessen zu feilen und zu brainstormen. Allerdings haben wir Lucidspark auch schon häufiger bei Kundenmeetings eingesetzt, um an neuen Kampagnen oder Ideen für neue Produkte mit den Kunden zusammen zu brainstormen. Bei den Kunden kam der Einsatz des Tools immer sehr gut an und alle haben gerne miteinander indem in dem Tool gearbeitet. Es entsteht auch eine große Wertschätzung, wenn man den Kunden aktiv mitarbeiten lässt.

What did you like?

Lucidchart has many features for diagrams including flow charts. The fonts are different from the regular ones and are professional. Even without the premium membership, one can access more features when compared to other tools out there. Would totally recommend Lucidchart to someone looking for easy drag and drop options with existing templates.

Considering the fact that I don't have premium membership, I haven't come across something that I did not like so far.

What did you like?

Die intuitive Benutzeroberfläche macht es selbst Anfängern leicht, professionell aussehende Diagramme zu erstellen, ohne sich durch komplizierte Menüs kämpfen zu müssen. Die umfangreiche Bibliothek von vorgefertigten Shapes und Vorlagen für verschiedene Diagrammtypen spart enorm viel Zeit und inspiriert zu neuen Ideen. Die Echtzeit-Zusammenarbeitsfunktion ermöglicht es Teams, gleichzeitig an einem Projekt zu arbeiten, was die Produktivität erheblich steigert und die Kommunikation verbessert.

What did you not like?

Die Preisstruktur kann für Einzelnutzer oder kleine Teams recht kostspielig sein, besonders wenn man nur gelegentlich Diagramme erstellt - ein flexibleres Preismodell wäre wünschenswert. Obwohl die Grundfunktionen leicht zu erlernen sind, kann es eine steile Lernkurve geben, wenn man fortgeschrittene Funktionen nutzen möchte, hier wären mehr integrierte Tutorials hilfreich. Die Offline-Funktionalität ist begrenzt, was problematisch sein kann, wenn man unterwegs oder in Gebieten mit schlechter Internetverbindung arbeiten möchte - eine robustere Offline-Version würde die Nutzbarkeit erheblich verbessern.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

Komplexe Ideen und Prozesse visualisieren: Lucidchart ermöglicht es mir, schwierige Konzepte oder Arbeitsabläufe in leicht verständliche visuelle Darstellungen umzuwandeln. Dies ist besonders nützlich für Präsentationen oder um Team-Mitgliedern komplizierte Sachverhalte zu erklären. Effiziente Zusammenarbeit: Die Echtzeit-Kollaborationsfunktion löst das Problem der asynchronen Kommunikation. Teammitglieder können gleichzeitig an einem Diagramm arbeiten, Änderungen diskutieren und Feedback geben, was die Projektentwicklung beschleunigt. Konsistente Dokumentation: Mit den standardisierten Vorlagen und Formen kann ich einheitliche Dokumentationen für verschiedene Projekte erstellen. Dies verbessert die Professionalität und erleichtert das Verständnis über verschiedene Abteilungen hinweg. Zeitersparnis: Die umfangreiche Bibliothek von vorgefertigten Elementen und die intuitive Drag-and-Drop-Funktionalität sparen mir viel Zeit bei der Erstellung von Diagrammen im Vergleich zu traditionellen Zeichenprogrammen. Flexibilität und Zugänglichkeit: Als cloudbasierte Lösung kann ich von überall und jedem Gerät aus auf meine Diagramme zugreifen und sie bearbeiten. Dies erhöht meine Produktivität und ermöglicht flexibles Arbeiten.

What did you like?

Auch wenn es etwas Zeit braucht, um sich daran zu gewöhnen, ist Lucidspark das beste digitale Whiteboard für die Zusammenarbeit, weil es einfach zu bedienen ist und viele Funktionen hat, die andere digitale Whiteboards nicht haben. So kannst du zum Beispiel neue Inhalte hinzufügen, Feedback erhalten und Anpassungen am Board vornehmen. Und wenn du in einem Team arbeitest, kannst du die Pläne und Ideen anderer Teammitglieder importieren. Lucid verfügt auch über eine Rechtschreibprüfung die sehr hilfreich ist und es ist einfach Arbeitsbereiche zu unterteilen, damit jeder weiß, wofür er zuständig ist.

What did you not like?

Manchmal kann die Textbearbeitung unübersichtlich sein, vor allem wenn man versucht verschiedene Schriftarten, Untertitel und Formen zu ändern. Die Suche nach Vorlagen könnte noch besser gestaltet werden. Ein schneller Zugriff auf Vorlagen oder eine Funktion, um die Art der von verschiedenen Nutzern verwendeten Vorlagen zu speichern, wäre toll.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

Mit Lucidspark kann ich meinen Kolleginnen und Kollegen verschiedene Kampagnenoptionen einfach und übersichtlich präsentieren, so dass sie zeitnah Entscheidungen treffen können. Die Möglichkeit, Entscheidungen schnell zu treffen und umzusetzen ist ein großer Wettbewerbsvorteil in der Marketingbranche. Dazu macht es halt einfach Spaß einen Kommentar, ein Emoji und GIFs hinzuzufügen. Es ist ein leistungsfähiges und praktisches Tool für die Organisation von Meetings und die Zusammenarbeit an Projekten

What did you like?

Meine zwei liebsten Dinge an Lucidspark: 1.) Es ist super einfach, den Einstieg zu finden und einfach zu bedienen. Es gibt Tutorials für alles, wenn man sie braucht, aber es ist sehr intuitiv und ich musste keine Tutorials lesen um das Tool effektiv nutzen zu können. 2.) Lucidspark funktionierte sofort mit meinem digitalen Eingabestift. Ich hatte einige Probleme mit der Integration von anderen digitalen Whiteboard-Tools. Aber Lucidspark war im Wesentlichen "Plug & Play", was großartig ist.

What did you not like?

Mehr Schriftartenoptionen wären wünschenswert, die Standardoptionen gefallen mir nicht so. Ich wünsche mir auch eine größere Auswahl an Symbolen, Stilen und Designs für die Verwendung auf dem Whiteboard. Der Anmeldeprozess ist sehr langsam und manchmal auch sehr mühsam.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

Die Teamzusammenarbeit in Lucidspark ist extrem nahtlos. Dieses Tool ist ein Muss für Unternehmen und Teams, die eine Zusammenarbeit mit anderen Mitgliedern benötigen. Durch die Möglichkeit, das Tool über den Browser zu bedienen, ist es für neue Teammitglieder sehr einfach und intuitiv zu erlernen. Lucidspark bietet auch viele vordefinierte Vorlagen, die die Arbeit für Personen die an verschiedenen Dokumenten arbeiten erleichtern. Wir sind sehr zufrieden mit dem Tool.

What did you like?

Lucidspark ist ein einfaches Whiteboard, in dem man sich schnell zurecht findet und ohne viel Einarbeitung darin arbeiten kann. Gerne genutzt wird es von mir für Brainstormings in Kundenterminen, bei denen man neue Ansätze für Projekte entwickeln möchte. Da es ein Onlinetool ist, kann jeder von zu Hause aus live daran mitarbeiten.

What did you not like?

Es gibt leider einige Dinge, die mir an dem Tool nicht so gut gefallen. Als erstes wird es meiner Meinung nach ab einer bestimmten Projektgröße bzw. Boardgröße irgendwann unübersichtlich. Man muss ranzoomen, rauszoomen und Dinge verschieben, was keinen Spaß mehr macht, wenn es zu groß ist. Zudem kann es schnell mal ins Ruckeln kommen, wenn einfach zu viele Nutzer zu viele Dinge gleichzeitig in dem Board bearbeiten.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

Ich nutze Lucidspark wie erwähnt hauptsächlich zur Ideenfindung in Kundenmeetings. Grade in der jetzigen Zeit wo viele Personen im Homeoffice sind, kann man dennoch zusammen in einem Meeting an einem Board arbeiten und seine Ideen gemeinsam aufschreiben und zusammen bringen. Dahingehend finde ich Lucidspark sehr gut und sinnvoll.

What did you like?

Mir gefällt an Lucidchart, dass sich Workflows und Prozesse so einfach und schnell darstellen lassen. Selbst Anfänger kommen super mit dem Tool zurecht und benötigen nahezu keine Einarbeitung. Durch die verschiedenen Farben und Darstellungsmöglichkeiten wirken selbst komplexe Prozesse immer noch verständlich und übersichtlich. Zudem lassen sich saubere und schnelle PDF-Exporte erstellen, egal wie groß die Leinwand letztendlich ist.

What did you not like?

Die Anpassungsmöglichkeiten sind begrenzt, zum Beispiel gibt es bislang keine Gantt-Diagramme, die wir aber sehr häufig nutzen. Auch wird das Tool irgendwann sehr träge und langsam, je größer die Diagramme werden. Das schafft mein alter PC zum Beispiel nicht immer gut. Wenn man ein großes Prozessdiagramm öffnen möchte, braucht man auch hier Geduld. Die Ladezeiten könnten deutlich besser sein.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

Ich nutze das Tool, um interne und externe Prozesse und Abläufe darzustellen. Bei uns war zuerst Lucidspark im Einsatz und LucidChart wurde anschließend ergänzt. Beide Tools sind bei uns fast täglich im Einsatz und wir arbeiten auch häufig mit unseren Kunden darin zusammen. Da ich neu ins Projektmanagement eingestiegen bin, kann ich zeitliche Abläufe eines Projektes mit den Charts super erfassen.

What did you like?

Lucid Chart hat für unglaublich viele Usecases bereits Vorlagen, die zur Inspiration verwendet werden können. Ich habe es bereits im Studium verwendet um verschiedene Diagramme zu erstellen. Aktuell verwende ich es für die Arbeit um Prozesse in BPMN Charts darzustellen. Das Tool lässt sich auch super in Slack einbinden. Arbeiten mehrere Kolleg:innen an einem Chart lassen sich auch bestimmte Bereiche sperren.

What did you not like?

Das Tool frisst leider unglaublich viel Leistung, vor allem wenn sich viele Objekte in einem Diagramm befinden die hin und her bewegt werden. Die Struktur in der die Charts verwaltet werden ist manchmal auch nicht ganz übersichtlich, hier hat sich aber in den letzen Monaten auch schon einiges verbessert. Das User- und Abomanagement ist über verschiedene Untermenüs auf verschiedenen Unterseiten organisert, wo zum Teil von verschiedenen Seiten aus das gleiche verwaltet werden kann. Hier fehlt teilweise eine klare Struktur, das hindert aber natürlich nicht bei der Verwendung des Tools :)

Which problems are you solving with the product?

Ich verwende Lucidchart für die Erstellung von BPMN Diagrammen und von OrgCharts. Der Vorteil ist einerseits die Einfachheit mit der sich das Tool verwenden lässt, andererseits aber auch, dass es eine ganze Menge an Infrastruktur mitbringt um Usecases abzubilden. Man muss nicht bei jeden Diagram bei null anfangen. Organigramme lassen sich beispielsweise aus Excel oder Google Sheets Tabellen automatisch generieren und dann manuell anpassen.

Ease of use. What I really love about Lucidchart is how easy it makes turning my ideas into visual diagrams. The drag-and-drop interface feels super smooth and intuitive, so I don’t have to waste time figuring out how to make things look right. It’s great for brainstorming or mapping out complex workflows with my team because everyone can jump in and collaborate live, which just keeps everything moving

I’ve been using Lucidchart, and it has become an invaluable tool for illustrating workflows and processes to my teammates. One of the features I appreciate most is the Google Docs add-on. It allowed me to easily embed my Lucidchart diagrams directly into my document, and the best part is that the diagrams update automatically as I make changes in Lucidchart. This real-time syncing has made collaboration incredibly smooth and ensures everyone is always looking at the most up-to-date version.

What did you not like?

The only issue I ran into was that some template elements couldn’t be edited the way I wanted. However, it was still easy to remove those parts and replace them with my own custom elements, so it didn’t slow me down too much.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

The visual clarity it provides makes even complex processes easy to grasp, and giving everyone direct access to the diagrams has streamlined our communication and decision-making. The platform itself is very easy to use and navigate, and it offers a wide range of customization options for flowcharts, which makes it simple to tailor diagrams exactly the way you want.

Cost and Value Engineer at

Grohe AG

Industry: Construction

What did you like?

I’m a huge proponent of intuitive drag-and-drop functionality. Those pre-configured, “ready-when-you-are” components empower me to orchestrate sophisticated workflows in minutes—not hours—because I’m no longer bogged down tweaking peripheral settings or writing boilerplate code. Instead, I can focus on high-value tasks such as refining business logic, validating edge cases, and delivering stakeholder-ready prototypes. Beyond the obvious speed gains, drag-and-drop tools drive consistent UX patterns, reduce the cognitive load for new team members, and minimize integration risk by abstracting away much of the underlying complexity. That translates directly into lower overhead, faster time-to-market, and a more resilient development pipeline.

What did you not like?

I find the platform’s current block-spacing mechanics counter-productive. The inter-block gaps are inconsistent and—because there’s no global “snap-to-grid” or “distribute-evenly” toggle—each minor alignment tweak devolves into a labor-intensive, manual exercise. The absence of a straightforward, one-click normalization control means valuable development cycles are squandered on pixel-perfect nudging when they should be devoted to solution design, data mapping, and stakeholder validation. Compounding the issue, the so-called “auto-tidy” routine often re-flows the diagram in ways that break the visual narrative of the process. Connectors reroute unpredictably, decision branches lose proximity to their context, and swim-lane boundaries can overlap in aesthetically awkward ways. The net effect is a workflow that looks algorithmically arranged rather than human-readable—eroding both on-boarding velocity for new team members and confidence during executive reviews. From an operational-excellence standpoint, the lack of spacing controls introduces hidden technical debt: Cognitive overhead: Team members spend extra time parsing sprawling diagrams, elevating error risk during change management. Governance challenges: Inconsistent layouts hinder the creation of standardized templates, making compliance reviews more tedious. Maintenance drag: Any subsequent edit requires re-aligning neighboring nodes, a repetitive task that compounds over the life of the project. In short, without a reliable snap function or a predictable, non-destructive auto-tidy algorithm, the tool undermines its own promise of rapid, low-friction workflow orchestration. Introducing these features would directly enhance usability, reduce non-value-adding maintenance work, and elevate overall user confidence in the platform.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

Lucidchart eliminates the typical opacity that surrounds complex software-logic design by letting me visualise the entire decision flow in a single, coherent diagram that everyone—developers, QA, and business stakeholders alike—can understand at a glance. Because the canvas supports snap-to-grid alignment, assisted layout, and quick drag-and-drop editing, I can adjust processes in seconds rather than spending time on pixel-perfect nudging or rewriting slide decks and wiki pages. Real-time co-authoring with threaded comments and full version history accelerates agile ceremonies, while native integrations with Jira, GitHub, and Azure DevOps provide seamless traceability from diagram nodes to work items and code branches. Built-in BPMN and UML libraries keep our artefacts compliant with audit standards and simplify code reviews. The net result is faster onboarding for new engineers, fewer communication misfires across teams, and a measurable reduction in development and documentation overhead.

What did you like?

Lucidchart works smoothly once you know your way around. The interface is clean, and after a bit of exploring, creating diagrams becomes fast and efficient. I like that there are plenty of templates to choose from, and collaboration with others in real time is a strong point it just works without getting in the way.

What did you not like?

It’s not very beginner-friendly at first. If you don’t already know what you're doing, it can feel a bit overwhelming and clunky. Also, a lot of useful features are hidden behind a paywall, which makes it hard to fully commit unless you're using it regularly. And with larger diagrams, it starts to lag, which breaks the flow.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

Lucidchart helps me map out complex systems and workflows in a way that's easy to understand and share. It’s especially useful when I need to visualize how different parts of a process connect, whether for school projects or team planning. The biggest benefit is clarity once everything is laid out visually, it’s much easier to spot gaps or inefficiencies. It's not a game-changer, but it does the job when used right.

“Overall this is a user-friendly tool that allows charts to be created with ease”

What did you like?

I like that Lucidchart is easy and intuitive to use without having to watch a lot of explainer videos, I can just jump right in with creating my charts. I like that I drag and drop chart elements and use key commands as I would use in other software to move around, zoom in and out, undo/redo etc. And exporting in different formats is super useful.

What did you not like?

I wish I could convert shapes into smart objects such as in Photoshop so that I can just update the parent smart object shape and then the changes are applied to all instances using that shape. Same for color, would be great to have a master color and I can update and it updates all it's instances globally. I also dislike the pricing for the software as I wish they has an even more affordable tier for students.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

My main purpose was to create a flow chart for a Python app Iw as building so I can see the logic routes that the user could take. I need to see if I created a flow that is user friendly and makes the most sense..

I also really appreciate the real-time collaboration features, which make it simple for teams to work together, even remotely.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

Lucidchart helps me organize complex ideas visually, making it easier to explain processes and workflows to my team. It has improved our project planning and reduced misunderstandings because everyone can clearly see the steps and connections.

With lucid chart I like the fact that there is a plethora of templates to choose from depending on what you want to create. The charts and the branching are alsso verastile. Color selection and combination is also super and if you want to use images and emojis you have a big pool to choose from. I like the fact that you have options for so many things

What did you not like?

The only thing I dislike is the the limit you have with a free account. When I want to test something before pitching the idea to my company to invest there I need to at least finish the test project I am doing there so I can actually have something to show. Sadly it is very limiting with a free account

Mostly for customers journeys but we also use it for user cases, org charts, handbooks, quarterly feedback meetings, etc

What did you like?

Lucidchart makes it incredibly easy to create clear, professional process diagrams and flowcharts with minimal effort. Its intuitive drag-and-drop interface, paired with a vast library of templates and shapes, helps me visualize complex systems—especially for things like Salesforce architecture, business workflows, and revenue management processes. Also like the collaboration features. Being able to co-edit diagrams in real-time with teammates, leave comments, and track updates drastically improves productivity. It also integrates seamlessly with tools like Google Drive, Confluence, and Slack, making documentation and sharing effortless.

What did you not like?

Pricing tiers: The free version is great for basic use, but some essential features (like revision history, advanced integrations, and conditional formatting) are locked behind higher-tier plans, which might be a barrier for smaller teams.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

Map out end-to-end revenue management flows like quote-to-cash, asset-based ordering, and fulfillment. Design and iterate on data models and system integrations. Collaborate across distributed teams in real-time with version control and comments. Benefits realized: Faster project alignment with clients and stakeholders. Reduced miscommunication during development cycles. Significantly improved documentation quality for handoffs and audits. Better visibility into process gaps and optimization opportunities.

What did you like?

It's a flexible app that allows to create diagrams, mind-maps, organigrams. It's easy to group ideas by topic and in my experience it has low lag even if many users are working on the same document. It has a decent set of templates, that help us getting started and diversify applications. It integrates well with major ecosystems (Microsoft, Google, etc).

What did you not like?

Design is fairly basic, so if you need documents with strong visual appeal you might need to resort to additional apps or workarounds to achieve a more visually elaborated final result.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

Collaborative work on projects that require organograms, flowcharts, storyboards. It offers easy ways to vote on ideas, so that remote teams can easily present and select the best options, while saving time.

What did you like?

How fast and direct-to-the-point it is to start creating diagrams. For me was useful for modelling an algorithm and provide it as a complementary material for a mobile application´s user story. Then it was possible to extract the diagram super fast and crop it to content so that it could be moved somewhere else easier.

What did you not like?

I dislike that once you reach the limit of elements in a free version you are kind of fully blocked to keep enhancing your diagram. You can have multiple versions but until you don´t upgrade then you will be limited to do so. I also faced a problem losing the access to a diagram since it was redirecting me to the home page. The workaround was to duplicate the file and grant the accesses to the people I was collaborating with.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

I am using it to describe better and faster some functionalities that need to be programmed, so that people in multiple departments of the team understand the logic and are on the same page.
