Featured Reviews

Micah Rachuonyo - PeerSpot reviewer
Principal Standardization Officer at KEBS
Has helped me create clean and structured process maps with a simple setup experience
I have not explored ways Bizagi can be improved beyond creating maps. If I explore automation and integration with other processes, then I may be able to identify potential areas for improvement. I would appreciate additional features for the free version. Currently, the elements in a process map are limited to activities, decisions, flows, and start/end points. The decision map could be improved to allow more than three options at a decision point.

Visual collaboration has improved remote workflows and supports faster shared decisions
The best features Lucidchart offers are that it diagrams processes very well. It allows for project management to help with client timelines. It is also easy to use and create diagrams, especially mermaid diagrams. Collaborating is easy. Out of all those features, collaboration stands out to me the most because it is easy to share with team members to do joint design work. Lucidchart has positively impacted my organization by improving productivity and collaboration. In terms of specifics, collaboration helps us come to conclusions. I notice better throughput as it is easy to use. Improved productivity allows us to express ourselves more quickly.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"BPMN 2.0 compliance, while you model the processes, the system can detect your notation errors, plus it is free."
"The visualizations and attachments provided by the product are valuable."
"The solution offers a free version of their product."
"Bizagi is very simple and easy to use, which I find most valuable, as it allows users to create clean and neat process maps."
"It is quite a stable solution."
"The design of the studio is the solution's most valuable feature."
"I would recommend this solution because it's easy to use and very quick to install."
"The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products."
"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."
"The biggest lesson that I have learned from using this product is that I don't need to struggle with creating org charts; it's quick and easy to use."
"Lucidchart is a lovely tool for creating visual representations of any process or organization."
"The interface is really good and it is very easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the different templates that they have already created, as well as all the different shapes you can use in the process charts because each shape stands for a different element or thing that's being done. It's easy to distinguish between different steps using the already set-out shapes."
"We saved our team time by 20-30% and made our work considerably easier."
"The real-time collaboration saves two hours a day for my team."
"It is a very interesting tool, I love using this tool and have recommended Lucidchart to my colleague and other developers in different companies because it is a good tool that is easy to use with a good UI and is also easy to understand."
 

Cons

"From a developer's point of view, an improvement in the layout would make the UI better."
"I'm not really satisfied with the reporting aspect. It's not really nice."
"Its price can be improved. The price is high for the application as well as for maintaining and developing applications. When you develop, for example, a BPM, you need to pay a lot for Bizagi."
"Bizagi has been aggressively adding features to maintain its market-leading position, however, in some cases, this has impacted the stability of certain product builds."
"The performance could use improvement. We couldn't connect the processes to on one file. The performance is an issue for us."
"Their multi-production is a little complicated, despite the fact that they now have Microdeployment."
"There is no direct scalability option. We can install the same, and using a load balancer, we can improve the scalability features."
"Bizagi could be improved by more automation and machine learning. Now that I'm learning more about data analyzers, I'm realizing that many people have problems with data and how to understand them."
"I wish Lucidchart would add dark mode to improve the user experience."
"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."
"They should make it more user-friendly. The only option is either to use the existing template with already existing colors and gradients. If you want to do custom colors and gradients, then it's too complicated to use and should be simplified."
"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."
"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."
"They should continue to bring in more shapes. Lucidchart could come up with more visualizations."
"I would really like to be able to set default appearance settings for new documents because I have a set of appearance settings that I always use. I end up setting that manually every time. There may be a way to do that, and maybe I am not able to find it. This is my only major point of feedback for improvement. There are other little nitpicky things, such as being able to lock layers without them looking like a big red line around them would be nice, but every graphic design software does that, so I understand why they have that. All my concerns are nitpicks. They're not big."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a very high price. Many clients complain about the price for maintaining the application on Bizagi."
"The paid version costs us about $20,000 for 100 users annually."
"It is expensive."
"We have no issues with the pricing."
"The Bizagi modeler can be downloaded free of charge."
"It is on par with other BPM tools, but not as expensive as Pega nor Appian."
"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
"When we were working with the on-premises solution, the licenses were a little bit expensive because we had to buy one by one a package of a hundred licenses, whereas now, we are working with the cloud solution, and it has a different cost. It's a different business model because we pay the license for the developers, but the cost is by the environment, and we have unlimited licenses. The business model is different now, but the benefit ratio is good."
"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."
"I have a subscription as an individual user for one year, and it is not expensive."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 pricing is very reasonable, and they have a free trial available that you can play with."
"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."
