Software with a simple interface but powerful diagramming capabilities compared to alternatives
What do you like best about the product?
I like the auto line routing, with easy repositioning and snapping between blocks in the flow chart, allowing for quick and easy adjustments. Although this feature isn't unique to Lucid, based on a comparison with the other diagramming software I have used, lucid implements this better and is more intuitive / user friendly
What do you dislike about the product?
There could be more of an explanation of what each block in the flow chart means rather than just a title like "predefined process". Having this sort of explanation would lead to a more consistent use of the application amongst staff, allowing for a more standardised and professional production of charts across the business
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lucidchart allows us to produce consistent flow diagrams to clearly document and identify processes that our general users need to follow. This has provided an increase to business performance as people are not spending time looking around for information or trying to decipher a complicated process diagram.
Review of Lucidspark for ”Collaborative Whiteboard” and “Visual Collaboration Platforms” categories
What do you like best about the product?
As SRE the lucid chart has made my life easy in designing robust platform solutions. Our solution architect always focuses on designing first and implementing later. With the collaborative features of lucidpark, it's pretty easy to keep all stakeholders on the same page.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to point on from the features I use, but I still have given 8 for continuous improvement and bringing many more new features to customers. It would be great to link the lucid chart directly with JIRA stories/tasks. In short, integration with other 3rd party tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The wide variety of charts on lucid chart, whether it's a class diagram, decision tree or business functionality diagram, makes lucid chart a one-stop portal for me to rely on.
We also do agile planning and refinement by creating graphs over lucid chart. It helps us compare the complexity of stories against their value to the business, and based on that, we decide on story points for those stories.

Lucidspark: A strong foundation with a few bumps
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Lucidspark is the ability to quickly and easily create strong, easy-to-read charts and transform them between spreadsheet and graphical formats. Lucidspark template development is extremely versatile, making it easy for organizations to replicate projects. The presets templates are also beneficial in launching new projects. Additionally, teamwork is significantly improved since face-to-face meetings are essential when working remotely. Finally, the platform connectors are a lifesaver - importing data into online Microsoft Office, and Google Sheets is quite beneficial.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found Lucidspark could have been more user-friendly. The "snapping" of products or arrows to stuff that didn't belong there was a problem I couldn't figure out how to fix. This meant I had to focus less on generating ideas and more on applying answers to my challenges. Cooperation is beneficial, but I needed to find it evident how to set up a shared whiteboard or how specific permissions operated. An overview of them would suffice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lucidspark significantly contributes to the creation of org charts through structure graphs, chart bubbles, and the capacity to include faces. It is handy to develop architectural diagrams for our development teams because of their usability.
Visual collaboration and mind-mapping is easy with Lucidspark.
What do you like best about the product?
Because Lucidspark is web-based, you can create and edit your charts from anywhere. It's simple to add new data or share existing diagrams with others. It is simple to use arrows, which is useful when drawing complex diagrams. Lucidspark has various premade shapes and templates that you can customize to meet your needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
In a browser, only chart creation is possible. It has a limited selection of icons and does not allow you to search for more; you also cannot resize the ones it does provide. Some of the available templates are complicated and require some practice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lucidspark's diagramming, flowcharting, organizing, Gantt charting, and mind mapping capabilities are excellent. It facilitates collaboration and the import/export of data or diagrams. It also allows me to link data to shapes. Lucidspark will work flawlessly on either a Mac or a Windows computer.

Review for Lucidspark
What do you like best about the product?
As a postgraduate student, especially while pursuing a Master's degree in Business Analysis, we have a lot of collaborative effort when it comes to group reports, presentations, notes, analysis of chase studies, etc. Lucidspark is a great platform that's helped us organise our notes and modules. It's also made things quite easily accessible and make the content very visually appealing. It's also great for individuals to create mind maps and task lists.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve as and when new users start using Lucidspark. Also, I wished there was an easier way to communicate with the team as and when you collaborate on the projects, maybe a quick Huddle feature like on Slack.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Good User Inrerface - it is user friendly and gets the job done quite easily.
2. Collaboration - As a team, when we had to work together for group projects in university, it took us quite a bit of time to map out the blueprints, structure the details, get notes in place but Lucidspark really helped us organise our tasks and todo lists.
3. Notes organisation and process detailing was a little hard as a team - using Lucidspark, from fought scribbled notes to presentation-ready content in no time. Developing workflows has never been easier,
4. Lots of great features for integration - timers, voting, attractive templates etc.

wide range of templates. building is easy and intuituve
What do you like best about the product?
I like the variety of templates and ease of use
What do you dislike about the product?
Would be nice to add collaborators without having to create an account
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
interdepartmental process maps, project mgmt
Great for sharing knowledge in a workshop
What do you like best about the product?
Collaborative whiteboarding is a perfect use case. My last experience was a prepared workshop, where we had to structure previously prepared information.
We had post-it notes with links to more information. The real-time collaboration helped make this a productive and pleasant experience.

What do you dislike about the product?
I've used a competing product that has a better look and feel. Regardless of the visual aspects, these products are only as good as what you use them for.
Using a blackboard versus a whiteboard doesn't make much difference; it's more about how you use them.
Although I like the technical possibilities with these platforms, users still have to get used to them to use them more optimally.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Knowledge sharing while being able to keep the information up to date and accessible to many is a great benefit. I would say this is comparable to a wiki.
Do note that wikis are more accessible (for example to visually impaired people), and are not to be replaced by this tool. My idea is that these tools add engagement and more options to experiment.

Solid, easy to use, professional looking charts.
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of just jumping right into the project and laying things out. Didn't need to spend a bunch of extra time learning how to use the software.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the icon packs were a bit inconsistent or lacking, and having to find one icon pack (So as to not have multiple themes) with all the necessary icons is a bit of a bog.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mapping out my networks and giving people a quick glance view of the overall picture.
I really enjoyed Lucidspark to help manage the flow of my application.
What do you like best about the product?
It was a simple-to-use solution that gave an excellent flowchart option. When wanting to connect a flowchart, it provided an easy-to-use interface to help select the next item or object.
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't find any specific issues with the product. The extensive list of options can be overwhelming and take up a fair bit of space when using a 13" laptop. But collapsing is possible, which is nice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its simple-to-use interface allowed me to create a flowchart to visualize my software design and break up my project into smaller, easier-to-maintain parts. Once you get going its features making building a bigger chart more efficient.
