    We used to use Microsoft Visio and ran into many pain points. One of our team members showed us that Lucidchart makes it much easier to create, share, and integrate. We tested it with a few licenses, then quickly expanded to our whole team and now our department. It integrates with almost every tool we work with (Slack, Jira, Atlassian, Google, Office) and works on Macs, Windows, and Linux.
