Lucidchart vs Mindjet MindManager comparison

"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."

"I will definitely recommend this solution to others."

"Lucidchart is a really effective tool to help illustrate those pictures, to explain very complex technical ideas to other technical people."

"I like how all the contacts in my chart are linked to LinkedIn. That's what makes it really easy for outreach and for making sure we have all the contacts right there in front of us when we need to."

"In terms of return on investment with Lucidchart, I would say I have saved time."

"I have observed several advantages overall while using Lucidchart, as it has improved time to decision by at least fifteen percent, created more visibility over the process and decision-making across our business, and enabled collaboration across the team to improve by at least thirteen percent."

"Visually it is the best application that I've used."

"Feature and functionality-wise, it is fantastic."

"The metadata map provides operational navigation to complete business processes."

"My advice to others is to get it, and use it! It's very good and useful."

"The most valuable feature is being able to export to Microsoft Project."

"Though I really appreciate Lucidchart, I feel it is not as intuitive as it could be."

"Perhaps it already exists, but if there were software to install the solution on a Mac, that would be helpful."

"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 would like to have more text boxes to write more comments so I can write a small note below a picture. I would like some flexibility."

"Although it comes with a lot of pre-existing tools, it would help if it had some more design templates."

"In terms of improvement, they should make it very clear, whether it's a single A4 page or two A4 pages, it should be mapped out."

"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."

"One way Lucidchart can be improved is that finding a document that has been shared with me without having the link is tricky, or the amount of diagrams can become overwhelming and bury the document I actually need."

"Since I have been using such an old version, most of the improvements have already been made, but I would suggest moving forward with the times and creating a cloud-based solution for universal access."

"The SQL based database connectivity and data access for analysis and reporting, both need some attention."

"I don't know what the pricing is at now, but at the time the price hike upset me to the point that I stopped upgrading."

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

"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."

"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."

"I had a quick glimpse of it. It was about 100 Canadian Dollars a year for just me. I don't know if there are any additional costs."

"The pricing and licensing are fine, though I wish they didn't require you to buy the licenses in batches of five."

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

"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."

"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."

"The price was very good in the beginning, then the price increased from USD $99.00 to USD $249.00, then I stopped upgrading because what I needed was already there."
