Lucidchart vs Mindjet MindManager comparison

"Its ease of use is most valuable. As compared to draw.io, connecting the lines and doing things like that are much easier in Lucidchart. It has been great for some of the process flow diagrams and data flow diagrams. I can export these diagrams as PDFs and share them with team members."

"I can see that using LucidChart is going to save us time in project development, collaboration, and brainstorming."

"Lucidchart enables me to put down on paper what I was visualizing in my head. It makes it more shareable than only using words."

"The ease of creating some of the maps and diagrams is most valuable. Lucidchart is just simpler and works more intuitively than other solutions that I have used in the past, such as Microsoft Visio. I am not in a creative role, but I know how to use Adobe Illustrator and other solutions like that. If I need to map out something that I've never mapped out before, and it is going to need a totally custom graphic, eight times out of 10, I'm going to go to Lucidchart rather than trying to build it in Illustrator. Its intuition and flexibility are really big features for me."

"The architecture and brainstorming features worked exceptionally well for me; no one in the organization had used it for brainstorming, and my implementation really helped with the visuals and capturing people's opinions and divergent thought processes."

"Lucidchart's capabilities for visualizing and understanding process flows are very good."

"The templates are good, they eliminate creating something from scratch and allow me to create from a framework, which saves time and makes documenting processes and systems really easy."

"The interface is easy for a layperson to use and adapt to."

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

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

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

"Anytime I need to print, I have to re-download/export."

"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."

"I wish Lucidchart would add dark mode to improve the user experience."

"I think Lucidchart can be improved by reducing the pricing, as it is a bit high."

"If you're trying to expand a comments box that is sitting on top of the chart, it automatically defaults to assuming you're trying to connect it to the next step in the process, when all you're trying to do is make the box bigger. It automatically goes to the arrow, but I just want to resize the box. That gets a little cumbersome because it does it every single time. It's not just a bug."

"In terms of improvement, there can be more templates."

"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."

"When you want to add text to a connector arrow, I have not figured out how to position the text vertically."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"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 was using the paid version, but at $12 USD per month, I canceled the plan because it was a little bit too expensive for me."

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

"I have a subscription as an individual user for one year, and it is not expensive."

"We chose Lucid based on the price comparison between it and draw.io... Lucidchart was about 15 percent cheaper per user... I was surprised to learn that it came with a separate subscription model and was not included in my existing Lucidchart subscription."

"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."
