Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The way you can create templates is probably most helpful because it gives us a way to very quickly play around and test ideas and different types of layouts.""File sharing is easy."

More Figma Pros →

"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.""Creating flowcharts and documentation is easy to do and the results are very nice.""I love the fact that you can just integrate a drawing into Google Slides. I build a lot of visuals in Lucidchart, and then, rather than sharing them directly from Lucidchart, I just build Google Slides decks for senior management, and I link the Lucidchart on the cloud version to a slide image. That makes it easy. This way, I can build in one tool and show in another.""The templates are quite valuable, as is the fact that you can export to PDF, to a Visio document, or as a picture. These are valuable features for me because they give me the ability to make changes in any other product that I'm using. I'm not bound by one platform."

Cons
"Sometimes the prototype view menu gets in the way of navigation, especially if the prototype has a menu at the top, and most of the time it does.""One of the areas for improvement is the onboarding experience. When you first starting using Figma, it can be a little confusing. It would be useful to have some guidance and direction."

More Figma Cons →

"One area for improvement is the fact that I had to create two sheets. I had to create a process flow diagram, and I had to create a timeline. I wasn't able to do that in one sheet. If they could add that kind of feature, where you could input a timeline and different types of templates into one worksheet, that would be really useful. I had to include two and then cut and paste, and that was an extra step for me.""I would like to have access to more colorful and more vibrant icons.""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.""What I do find extremely frustrating is that when I've sent the sheet to non-license holders, you have to create an account. You create a username and password. The path taken to create that account is so confusing that everyone thinks that they have to give their credit card number, and then they're reluctant. They don't want to go through the sheet."

    Overview

    Figma is a cloud-based design tool that allows teams to collaborate in real-time on creating, prototyping, and iterating digital designs. With its intuitive interface and powerful features, Figma has become popular among designers and design teams. Figma's cloud-based nature ensures that designs are always up-to-date and accessible from anywhere. This makes it easy for teams to collaborate remotely or across different locations, fostering a more efficient and flexible workflow.

    One of the key features of Figma is its real-time collaboration capabilities. Multiple team members can work on a design simultaneously, making it easy to gather feedback, make changes, and iterate quickly. This eliminates the need for time-consuming file sharing and version control, streamlining the design process.

From vector editing and prototyping to design components and libraries, Figma provides everything designers need to create high-quality, interactive designs. Its robust design system allows for easy reuse of design elements, ensuring consistency across projects.

    Another advantage of Figma is its cross-platform compatibility. It works seamlessly on both Mac and Windows operating systems, making it accessible to designers regardless of their preferred platform. Additionally, Figma offers a web-based version, allowing users to access their designs from any device with an internet connection.

    Our online diagram application makes it easy to sketch and share professional flowchart diagrams.  From brainstorming to project management, we support all of your communication needs. That’s why millions of users choose Lucidchart.
