LucidSpark has everything I need

  • July 06, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I enjoy most about Lucidspark is the extensive amount of quality templates and the searchability of those templates in my daily activities. This makes performing certain business activities easy with the collaborative nature of the application. A+ !
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't readily identify a negative feature with Lucid Spark. Maybe for network diagrams, I prefer Visio due to my familiarity with the product, however, I use Lucid for quite a bit of other things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is an excellent visual aid that facilitates getting ideas out of people's minds, organized, in a centralized area. Then I can easily share with other groups in language everyone understands.

So much easier than Miro

  • July 06, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Lucidspark is so intuitive, just like LucidChart. I really enjoy collaborating with others in real-time and being able to "follow" another use and watch others work in real time!
What do you dislike about the product?
I like almost everything. One thing that I find counterintuitive is that clicking with my center mouse button (the trackball) and sliding moves things in the opposite direction as I'm going. That's probably by design, but it is exactly the opposite of how that same gesture works in Figma.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Lucidspark for SAFe ceremonies where teams collaborate, plan, and do retrospectives on how things went according to the previous plan, with the goal of improving. It makes things very easy. We also use planning boards to assign work to sprints and features to program increments/releases.

Lucidspark is an empowering, easy to use tool

  • July 06, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Luicspark is intuitive and easy to use. True to the overall tool itself, many menus are more pictorial-driven than text-based. This sort've helps train new users in where to go to get to what they need as they continue using the tool.

This tool is perfect for SO MANY visual planning practices. My team is working on transitioning over to Sparky for our bi-weekly Team Retros.

I've created a board that's used for our quarterly work. It easily pulls in all of our work for a program increment from Jira (with some handy details already displayed). Individual Jira issues are associated to their overarching work objective in a meaningful matrix. It allows the team to hit the board and either focus on a specific body of work or the overall work for the quarter and see how the work is progressing -or isn't progressing.
What do you dislike about the product?
My biggest pet peeve is the controls for moving around on a board vs. zooming in and out. I wish you could scroll the mouse wheel up/down and left/right in order to move around the board and had to right click + scroll in order to zoom in or out. That's a pretty small, unique complaint to have though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to visually represent workflows, discussion threads, and brainstorm / mind mapping is much easier to do with a tool such as Lucid Spark. The easy use of it diminishes the intimidation factor for more timid users of such tools, too.

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use and flexibility of the tool are both winning aspects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as strong as a dislike, but I had to get used to new interface metaphors and icons.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Spatial connectedness between software features and functions.

Whiteboarding my system design

Easy and Intuitive tool

  • July 06, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Luicidspark is a pretty intuitive platform, and I like that I can spread out my ideas into an organized web. I love adding the different sticky notes and color-coding them. I also like the ability to zoom in and out at such a broad level.
What do you dislike about the product?
I currently use the free version and I think the features it offers are great for being free however I wish I was able to use or at least view my work on my iPad
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lucidspark helps me to organize my ideas in a way I can understand the flow of them and get the bigger picture. It helps me to be more productive when I'm in a rut and find what gaps are missing in my research.

Great tool for Project Management

  • July 06, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The interface works well, and the tool is easy to use. Collaboration is easy, and access can be shared with multiple team members to allow for their input or a handoff from one team to the next. The interface is easy enough, and it is not as complicated as other tools I have used, so after a quick tutorial, even the collaborators have insight into how to use it. Since it is not as involved as Visio, others will gravitate toward using it and not realize they are using a similar tool. I am excited about some of the AI options that are being introduced
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not figured out how to copy a page in Lucidspark, this may exist, but it is not intuitive, making it challenging to take a concept and build on another sheet. There is also an issue with how the documents are imported from Visio, the tool imports it essential, and you have to recreate it again to make it look like what Lucid offers. There are little pieces that could make the product work better, but they are responsive to constructive criticism.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us to see issues visually! Working remotely and getting feedback is challenging. The tool is engaging; even the shy can add to the project when we are not in a live session. Many problems have been resolved when the teams see the issue; we can identify the bottlenecks; on paper, they could not see it. We are working to tear down the work silos and develop an environment where the teams can work across departments and the country!

Migrating from Miro has little resistance

  • July 06, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Since there are already other similar products on the market, I like the differentiating factors. The integrations with other apps is extremely helpful, and the ease of using tables and sorting.
What do you dislike about the product?
As a developer, I would like to see more API access, where I can migrate data from other systems and move them into Spark for custom "dashboarding" or presentations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to diagram out systems for communicating with a team, or working together with colleagues to plan and document systems.
