Very positive as it was very easy to collaboratively and remotely discuss new ideas, work flows and prototypes in one hub, instead of switching tools.

Pros

The clean interface and real-time collaboration helps boost efficiency and creativity as we can quickly take an idea and break it down to iterate on together.

Cons

Performance can be slower when dealing with larger, more complex diagrams. Additionally, the learning curve can be quite steep, especially when moving beyond basic diagrams and functionality, needs better guidance.

Intuitive interface for all the basic functions, plenty of templates to kick start a project quickly, and very useful.

Pros

Very user friendly to quickly and easily set up visuals. The quick overview when you first log in got me right to work. There are plenty of well-made templates.

Cons

I'm not sure this is really a con, but it seems like there are a lot of capabilities that it will take me some time to learn like pulling from other data sets and automation. I also don't have any interest in using AI.

Lucidchart worked fine when we first started our company but as we scaled and found that Miro does a much better job.

Pros

As a basic diagramming and mind-mapping tool it works without an issue. You have all the shapes needed. It is simple enough for anyone to use

Cons

What I found bad about Lucidchart is the UI and collaboration with others compared to Miro. The UI looks outdated and takes the fun out of drawing. Collaborating with others is not seamless like Miro where you can collaborate in real-time, chat or take audio calls.

Reasons for Switching to Lucidchart

Sharing on draw.io is a nightmare and signing into it is also hard.

Generally positive. Initially took a little while to get used to, but learning all of the interactive sections and how you can build the system was enjoyable.

Pros

That you can scan around the page with ease and drag with your cursor.

Cons

Maps can sometimes get a little large, due to size of process.
