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 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."

"One of the features that I really like is the collaboration aspect of it. During the pandemic, it's very important that we're able to collaborate virtually."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"Lucidchart's ability to create a visualization that people prefer to look at, over reading written documents, has definitely saved me a lot of time, and it has helped to make my code bug-free because I no longer have broken endpoints."

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

"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."

"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."

"When my colleague initially tried to edit the file that I shared with him, he had some trouble. This is something that should be improved."

"I am not quite sure what different functionalities it provides as well as the difficulties other people are facing."

"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."

"When I download a flowchart as a PDF file, it breaks it up. I would like to see the continuous display of flow charts, even if they are larger than one page."

"It would be really helpful if we could create a process flow based on a Word Document or a PPT file."

"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."

"They should continue to bring in more shapes. For example, I saw something cool the other day that was a timeline and in between each step, there was a circle. I thought that that was very clean and that's something that I could see myself using. Lucidchart could come up with more visualizations. I'm not a designer so I would like to have more visuals. That would make my job easier because it would make my job much more professional looking but without having to be a designer myself."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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 pricing is very competitive. It is more cost-effective than some competing products, such as Visio."

"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, 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."

"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."
