Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Abacus Let me model all my IT Infrastructure, Applications and interfaces, Capabilities and Processes. Web based, I can create dashboards for the Stakeholders and management. Very comfortable tool, easy to use once you understand the concept The RSP (rapid start program) is very helpful and let you get products very quickly I can model anything and create my organization's metamodel

Cons

  • Long learning curve, but it is totally worth it. The web tool can have more features.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Lucid makes building mind maps and systems charts easy and you can get things looking decent with a little elbow grease.
  • * Many technical templates built in * Integration with BambooHR org chart * Additional integrations / ability to easily import from outside sources
  • Browser based UI easy to operate from any device. Multiple templates in free version making it possible to complete what you need. Easy sharing making collaboration smooth.
  • You can customize and make your own graphics from scratch, but what I really liked about Lucidchart is the amount of default templates they had to work with, and the wide range of subject/themes for them. So much professionally software is very heavily designed around a corporate office environment. It's nice to see some educational related templates in there!
  • It's cloud-based and very easy to use. You can get started with your diagram right away. The virtual tour in the beginning is helpful. There are hundreds of templates to choose from, which really saves you time. The automatic alignment of lines and arrows is really helpful. Collaboration is easy. You can also easily create and save custom shapes and designs and use them in future works. My favorite part is the export with transparent background option.

Cons

  • It's not the best on design side as far as choice of colors, fonts and custom shapes.
  • * Expensive * Renewal was a mess * Admin portal was buggy for awhile
  • Plotting is sometimes clumsy. Should have offline working and sync later on.
  • If you had the know how, you can definitely make charts and graphics much nicer than this in other programs, so this is very much designed for someone who only needs the basics for whatever they're doing. It can also be cumbersome at times when editing one of their templates.
  • The same automatic alignment of lines and arrows has caused me trouble when working with smaller shapes, as it gets difficult to get it to point where you want. The user interface is not that intuitive either.
