Lucidchart

I've signed up for this diagramming software as a service recently wondering about several uses for multiple projects. There are over a dozen diagram categories with over one hundred and twenty five sample types for each which is great. I appreciate the account overview you receive upon initially logging in to your account. I like that it uses drag and drop technology which is extremely efficient. The menus are all icon based though resemble a rich text editor so they are all familiar and easiest enough to recall quickly. The Preferences feature utilizes a number of useful ways to format the structure of your diagram. You can embed, share or download your diagram in a number of image or content types. This is a great software for creating creative mind maps to help brainstorm and outline writing projects, for example. Though there are literally hundreds or thousands of other uses certainly.

I would like to see the ability to create 3D objects or work with layers to help create more in depth projects. The ability to use a very large canvas and zoom in and around would be cool as well. And the ability to share your creations on Pinterest, Tumblr and LinkedIn perhaps would help differentiate this software further.

This flowchart software provides you all of the functionality necessary to create maps, charts and diagrams. You can share directly from your account to Facebook, Instagram and Google+ which is perhaps it's most significant differentiating factor. The pricing is reasonable but I believe perhaps there should be all features included across all plans with the amount of diagrams possible to create per month being the major difference.
