Lucidchart vs Mindjet MindManager comparison

"The collaboration, hands-down, is the top feature. It is valuable because our company doesn't believe in working in silos... While I may be the one leading the efforts, it's very important that my team gets buy-in on decisions being made when we're designing. It's critical, especially in this virtual environment, when we're not in an office to have a team meeting and able to whiteboard something. Lucidchart is an extremely useful tool for our team."

"Based on my experience, Lucidchart is better in terms of functionality and ease of use, and it is the tool to go for."

"The best feature Lucidchart offers is the ability to collaborate in real-time."

"It is a very effective tool for documenting processes and using it has improved our efficiency significantly."

"Its real-time collaboration saves time; now, we can complete our discussions within 15 minutes rather than an hour or an hour and a half, and the ability for people to look at the diagram created in Lucidchart rather than reading through written documents has saved one to two hours daily."

"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."

"I love the simplicity and how clean all the different boxes, arrows, and charts can be. Especially with something complicated like our sales flow, it could be really easy to be all cluttered and everything like that, but my favorite feature is how clean it is, how straightforward it makes our flow look, and how easy it is to understand. Lucidchart accommodates both Mac and PC users which is important to us because at my company right now, our sales floor and then every other computer we have as a company is a Mac, but a lot of our employees actually have PCs and Android as well. So it's really beneficial because if we're ever on the go or we need to make a change, it's versatile and is open for both Mac and PC."

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

"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."

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

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

"It would be nice to be able to import not just contacts from Salesforce but also leads. In the beginning, when I was still learning the ropes and my way around it, I couldn't find such an option. There might be an option, but I just don't know about it."

"I don't know if I will be able to add some animations if I want to. I believe the problem may be the program's process flows but if I want to transfer it into a PPP or any other document, I can only do image transfer."

"The UML diagram that it gave me initially was a huge flow with a bunch of UML tables, and I wasn't going to need that many."

"I'm not sure if this feature is already there, but it would be good if we can import a cloud database in the web version."

"I just felt that I am wasting time with those questions and just wanted them to stop asking me these questions and get into charting."

"It would be nice to have more features that help me visually present information."

"The communication with sales has been pretty poor. They have been spotty in terms of response."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

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

"I have only used the trial version and have not yet paid for it, or explored the pricing options."

"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 of this product is a little bit high. It is probably 20% higher than what I expected to pay for such a solution."

"I pay $95 a year for it. It seems like a reasonable 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."
