User friendly, aesthetically pleasing and a great way to organise ideas.
What do you like best about the product?
Loved the idea of visual sticky notes, being able to move them and add comments on the whiteboard. Visually it was clean and not too crowded. Also the ability to all add as a team remotely and in conjunction with each other. I love the way that users can add reactions to post it notes and the automated ways you can organize sticky notes. Having different colors is another really simple way to differentiate between ideas which is perfect for visual planners like myself. Being constantly editable is great too, as is the ability to share the board across the team following meetings. Features like spell check are valuable, particularly when exporting into another format. A feature I am yet to use is the time element, I think this could work especially well as we are looking to ensure our meetings are engaging and concise. I noticed the voting option - this is such a great way to quickly decide on goals/strategies quickly. Breakout boards are another idea that works really well - allowing smaller groups that may be discussing different tasks to focus on those collectively.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only issue I can think of is too many collaborators make the board sometimes a little hectic/difficult to use. Equally moving notes can sometimes be a bit confusing when other people are working on the board, and sometimes the issue arose where someone wrote over/on someone else's note that was created - however this would surely be eliminated with more frequent use. I haven't looked into whether or not you can integrate this with other platforms like Slack but I wonder if that would be helpful to send ideas to via Slack. I also wonder if the ability to include images in your post-its would be helpful - like screenshots. I did find the whiteboard itself slightly 'slippy' when navigating, and it was hard to zoom but also maintain a view of all the notes when looking at a bigger board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving the problem of a remote way to collaborate and brainstorm. Benefits are sharing ideas in a permanent, engaging way which works really well when remote working is so prevalent. Also it means we don't need someone organizing the meeting/taking notes, putting the focus back on ideas and not jotting things down. It also works as a permanent space for users to refer back to which is super helpful when looking retrospectively. Furthermore, for those not included in team meetings, it is simple and clear to look at. The clear benefit is the ability to work in a team as if you were in the office, which is certainly missed. Other problems we solved with lucid spark was managing to allow the whole team to convey their ideas without the difficulties of Zoom - talking over each other etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend for those looking for a simple, visual way to work collaboratively. While my review is based on the free services, these alone were impressive enough to make a marked difference in a meeting with hold regularly.

Attempting to integrate what I created into a shareable format that retains image integrity. This is more a casualty of not having established collaboration practices rather than a failure by Lucidchart.

Software Dev
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidspark makes it so someone with no design experience can quickly put together a flowchart for teamwork purposes. Thanks to this I can help visiualize the project by creating a flowchart. Furthermore this is used to team collaboration events such as creating stories.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much obvious documentation to help orient myself from the onset. As someone who comes from whimsical I found whimsical to be a bit easier to use. I do attribute this more to my own stubborn mentality but perhaps some tooltips in the page itself so that I don't have to go through pages of information could be helpful in this regard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The visualization of our software flow is excellent for an agile environment. It makes it easy to onboard other team members. Furthermore this application helps create diagrams for solving team issues, such as organizing work on a two dimensional axis, or brainstorming new ideas.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As far as I know, the greatest strength this application has is that it is pretty much a whimsical replacement that isn't too different but verified to meet DoD safety requirements. I recommend this application for those security-oriented. Mind you I am not speaking for the DoD nor endorsing the product on their behalf.
