Rich toolkit to help stimulate ideas
What do you like best about the product?
I love the extensive set of features available in the tools in the Suite. Not only does it support fast and agile collaboration, but learning about the tools stimulates new ideas for how to better engage people to help unlock ideas and get alignment. It's easy to spin up a board and capture information in a visual way which allows people to better connect. I particularly like the way the name of the person is captured on the sticky note automatically.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't found too much that I dislike. If I get stuck with something I tend to use the feature find option. It would be nice to be able to play thinking music for some activities from the Lucidspark tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Alignment. Ideation. Especially with remote participants. Supports productivity and allows for information to be collected very quickly.
Best in class, but a long ways to go
What do you like best about the product?
* beats powerpoint/slides
* have built in icons for cloud architectures
* have built in icons for cloud architectures
What do you dislike about the product?
* More robust offline capability would be nice
* It would be fantastic if there was a sort of "predictive diagramming" that can ease the tedium of individually dragging and dropping icons/setting up arrows, etc.
* Furthermore, it would be nice if we're able to define some diagrams in a config file
* I often take screenshots of a diagram and drop them into a slideshow to make complex architectures easier to digest, it would be nice if such a feature baked into Lucid
* If these features indeed exist, then you could do better at advertising them

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
explaining and designing software architectures
Easy to use diagramming tool
What do you like best about the product?
The Lucid tool is easy to get into and use quickly, and has a lot of useful templates and standard shapes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Arrows aren't always easy, sometimes when I click I get a new shape and sometimes I can draw the arrow, and it's not clear what I'm doing differently.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lucid helps me show the connections between things visually, which helps my clients see where to focus.
Ease of use in reviewing process workflows
What do you like best about the product?
I don't have a lot of experience in using it myself, mainly just in reviewing the workflows after being created. Seems very easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dont have enough experience using Lucied to say what I dislike
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
TBD
Easy to use visual charting with a few quirks.
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to link flows within and outside of the current file. Makes for very clean and easy to follow activities.
What do you dislike about the product?
The snap feature is nice, but it would be better if there was an alignment feature as well as a "small" move feature for unique visuals.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Business processes, material and information flows, communication flow: very clear with the visuals and love the linking capability, it helps in presentations
Great for strategic planning
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy how good it is for mind mapping and visualization of information! I have been ab le to come back to my creations as a please and they save automatically which is great
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes some of the inserted lines can be a little awkward and a little difficult to maniulate
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find it difficult to think abuout strucutures without a visualization. Lucid charts lets me create multiple versions of what is in mym brain and then come to concusion of what is best based on each visualization.
Great tool to visualise flows
What do you like best about the product?
- Very flexible sheet - chosing the position of the start point doesn't take any consideration as the sheet can be expanded in any direction
- very clean look
- great choice of icons

- great choice of icons
What do you dislike about the product?
I was a complete beginner- so I probably would have expected small things to be easier - like arrows defaulting to straight
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To turn the convoluted thoughts and ideas into a structured 2-dimensional flow for all to understand and team members to contribute to
Excellent tool for drafting Process flows, diagrams but require some improvement
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to use.
Excellent for collaboration
Workflow visualizations are easy to understand and present to clients

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the tool doesn't seem to be seamless. Moving elements and zoom in or out has challenges. Unwanted movements for visual objects are annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lucid helps to collaborate of various client related problem solving Use Cases and designing process workflows. It also support our brainstorming sessions as a whiteboarding tool.
SO EASY TO USE
What do you like best about the product?
I did not take any of the training, all I did was jump in and I was able to use it the way I wanted to.
What do you dislike about the product?
Text. I would like to use my font and when I want to use bold, I want it to be BOLD.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a great collaboration tool. When I want to brainstorm, it is easy to deploy. When I want to build a chart, it works exactly the way I want it to. The best part is that I'm not thinking about how to use the tool, the UI is intuitive.
A canvas to pull it all together
What do you like best about the product?
Projects can be so complex, with enough details to make the whole picture hard to see. Putting it all together in a visual structure that can be collaborative, actionable and with the ability to drill down for details can make life much more manageable.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish we had more buy in within the company to have other departments use the software, but licensing cost controls can get in the way. I also wish we had unlimited money ;-)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reviewing diagrams at the same time with customers and allowing for direct collaboration and update vs an asyn back and forth.
