Lucidchart vs Mindjet MindManager comparison

"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."

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

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

"The ease of use is the most valuable feature."

"The sticky notes are among the most valuable features. Also, the fact that it has templates so that I don't have to do things myself, starting from scratch, is very helpful. In addition, it's really easy to use. You can add stuff by clicking, without having to go to the options. You just click on something and the options you can use appear."

"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."

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

"The ability for people to look at a diagram, rather than reading through written documents, has saved us a lot of time, and as a result money."

"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."

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

"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."

"One of the things that I find frustrating is that all of our Tableau information is on a server, so when I send that out people can't open it and use it."

"Lucidchart subset their older components or something like that had happened. I don't entirely know the totality of it, but we were forced to upgrade to a different integration with Lucid than what we had. I've had a lot of frustrations with that because I've lost a lot of diagrams. I can't get them back and I'm getting pop-ups that are showing me that our data will be loading and I can't run four or five years of my engineering diagrams"

"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. Either I don't know how to use it, or it's not there, but having to stick to margins so I can see what's going to be on different pages when I print it or move it to a PDF has been my only challenge so far."

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

"If it could be a little more visual, in terms of being able to make it stand out a little bit more, then that would be helpful."

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

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

"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."

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

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

"Pricing-wise, it is pretty fair. I don't really know what group pricing looks like, but right now, I pay $10 a month for my Lucid subscription. One thing I would say is that I do worry about my bosses being okay with paying $10 a month for every single employee because we would have around 20 people. It makes me a little nervous about whether they are going to pay $200 a month for people to be able to use this software. At the same time, from where I'm sitting, it's totally worth it. We save a thousand dollars from using this software. It's still a no-brainer."

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

"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."

"The price was low enough to make me think that it was fine, I'll go for it. I think it's $80 or so. It's not too expensive."

"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 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."
