How Lucidchart’s powerful features outperform Gliffy’s
Tools built to handle your most complex projects
Lucidchart adds and refines its features on a weekly basis, giving you access to superior data linking, conditional formatting, multi-page diagramming, and more. Gliffy’s online diagramming functionality lacks the power needed for complex diagramming and collaboration.
User-friendly formatting for simplified diagramming
Gliffy’s interface is time-consuming and cumbersome, requiring you to place and format each shape and line individually. Lucidchart’s intuitive drag-and-drop functionality and formatting features let you create and customize the same diagram in half the time.
Integrations that go beyond Atlassian
Like Gliffy, Lucidchart integrates seamlessly with Confluence and Jira, but our visual workspace offers more robust integrations with G Suite, Slack, and other leading apps. Lucidchart’s open API allows users to develop in-house integration solutions, so your opportunities are endless.
Collaborative tools built with teams in mind
Lucidchart offers @mention commenting, in-editor chatting, and automatic sharing keep your team on the same page, whether you’re working in the same room or across time zones. Gliffy’s collaborative features are far more basic, especially when working outside of Atlassian products.
Full functionality anywhere, anytime
Gliffy’s full functionality is limited to the desktop, and you’ll have a more difficult time building diagrams outside of Jira and Confluence. With Lucidchart’s cloud-based software and mobile apps for iOS and Android, you can create, edit, and share your diagrams from any device.

Frequently asked questions about Lucidchart
I've been working with Lucidchart for more than a year and have seen consistent improvements on all sides. I've tried Gliffy and Visio previously, but they don't feel as natural as Lucidchart.
