First, we’d like to give a shout-out to the team at Lucidchart. They’ve built a great diagramming tool for people that want to create process flows and maps collaboratively.
But Lucidchart has a few limitations that prevent it from being the best org chart visualization tool. If you’re looking for an alternative to Lucidchart, you’re in the right place.
Whether you’re an unhappy Lucidchart customer or exploring your options – here’s why Agentnoon is a better Lucidchart alternative for org visualization:
Real time integrations to HRIS systems
The biggest limitation Lucidchart has is its ability to integrate to underlying HRIS systems such as Workday, HiBob, or Bamboo HR. Without proper integrations, data becomes stale and your people team has to spend hours every month manually updating the company’s org chart and keeping it up to date.
Agentnoon directly integrates to 100+ HRIS, performance management, and applicant tracking systems so you can visualize all your people data in one place.
Here’s how it works:
Custom data visualization
Org charts in Lucidchart let you visualize basic information like each person’s name, role, department and reporting structure. While this is a good start, it’s limited in terms of the data you can visualize.
With Agentnoon, you can overlay as much people data as you want on your org chart. Want to overlay salary on top of the org chart? Done. What about performance ratings? One click. How about highlighting contractors vs full time employees? Easy.
Quick start with just a spreadsheet
Implementing and drawing your org chart in Lucidchart can take several hours in order to get all the reporting structures and people data inputted correctly. It requires one full time resource dedicating themselves for a few days to get it all going.
Agentnoon can be set up in 15 minutes whether your people data is stored in a spreadsheet or whether it's stored in your HRIS. Our onboarding process is extremely fast so you can get going with zero time to waste.
No, that’s not a typo. See for yourself:
Good software shouldn’t take months to set up. With Agentnoon, all you have to do is upload your Excel and Google Sheets. And you’re all set! It’s really that simple.
Simple UX / UI that is collaborative and easy to use
Lucidchart is a flexible tool but hard to collaborate on when designing and visualizing your org. On top of that, not every executive team member / department head is an expert on using Lucidchart, making the process that much harder.
Maintaining version control, consolidating data from multiple sources and keeping things confidential can be really difficult.
Agentnoon is extremely intuitive with drag and drop gestures and a simple UI that is easy to understand. Built in access controls help protect what data is seen by whom so sensitive data is not at risk.
The Best Lucidchart Alternative: Make the Right Choice
If you’re tired of manually updating org charts and want an automated solution that works out of the box – give Agentnoon a try. We think you’ll love us.
