Flow charts
Fantastic product, easy to use.
What do you like best about the product?
Collaboration is very easy. When running client workshops online, it's very easy to share a link with workshop participants and get them to join in and collaborate.
What do you dislike about the product?
No inbuilt icon library. When creating diagrams, I often have to search for Icons from google and insert it into Lucidspark. Would be much easier if I didn't have to leave the app for this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Running online workshops have been a challenge without an effective collaboration tool, I have been trialling Lucidspark on one of my current projects and has help with collaboration enormously.
Simple, powerful and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
I would say the flexibility is awesome, since you can do whatever you want. Notes, planning sessions, kanban boards, discovery meetings
What do you dislike about the product?
For me it can take some time to load, and there are other apps (like miro) that do load faster
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it mainly for meeting notes and it’s really cool to use it as a collaborative tool
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Test it out to see how it works. You may end up loving it
Comprehensive and versatile tool for communication and collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I can choose between a collaborative board, with limited functionality, or a full on chart to dig deep into a design
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like more tools in the collaborative board
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communicating and collaborating with my team
Virtual Standup Board Adds Value for Remote Work
What do you like best about the product?
Love the ease of use, simple interface and flexible options for creating boards to meet different business unit needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing at all at this time based on my experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a virtual board to monitor projects managed by various team members and can organize work in the various pipeline stages. This supports a twice weekly virtual standup with other company team members. It helps to enable collaboration, aligning priorities and transparency on backlog items.
Really helped my team create the perfect mind map!
What do you like best about the product?
I like that we can ideate and create in real-time, and truly see how our ideas connect.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have yet to best figure out overlaying ideas to see how well they fit with each other. I'm unclear if this feature is actually offered.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working on a framework for a city-wide campaign. LucidSpark helps connect all the dots.
Great platform for mass collaboration and idea sketching
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to create, resize, connect ideas together and collaborate in real time really draws the line between using LucidSpark and other platforms such as Google Drawing. LucidSpark's fast server response times allow for quick collaboration. I also enjoy the fact that users export the resulting project as a pdf of vector image (no blurry objects). This allows for an expansive mindmap that is easily enjoyable by both users and also readers. My team and I also enjoy using LucidSpark's "snap on" features with certain objects as well as locking allowing for designing tasks to easily be overcome.
What do you dislike about the product?
LucidSpark does at time lag when big projects load, which is reasonable. However, to improve user experience with LucidSpark, this problem should be easily fixed. As a new user to LucidSpark, I would also value the ability to "rebind" my keys which allow me to adapt to the platform to much stronger degree since I am effectively "lowering" the skill curve needed to transition from another platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company values customer insights and the ability to mindmap them / organize them on a platform is extremely important to ensure that we maintain the standards and solve problems that clients are expecting. The ability to see real time and have all the different objects that you can create (sticky notes, arrows ... etc.), allows for many creative and insightful ways to organize the information to then further analyze and pull those insights. This adds much value to my company and a direct benefit that was derived from using LucidSpark.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely experiment around a bit before demonstrating it to your team. This will allow you to guide them to complete the tasks that you require of them. In doing so, you really are creating value through using the platform.
Very nice tool for comp sci state diagram etc
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use and easy access. intuitive ui etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
The service is very nice however more templates could be used in order to help with quicker work completion especially in common cases such as different state diagrams
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easier program planning and higher quality execution. It actually makes planning software development easy
Great brainstorming tool - but LucidChart checks most of the boxes for me.
What do you like best about the product?
It's great for brainstorming sessions; the team collaboration works really well. I also like the infinite canvas. I like the tagging feature, which is one thing that I could NOT do in Lucidchart. I like that there are so many options for shapes and colors.
What do you dislike about the product?
Overall I feel that there's not a lot of value added if you already use Lucidchart, which seems to have more options and functionality. A few features that especially stand out here that I wish Lucidspark had...
- Needs more hotkeys for faster node creation (like the mind mapping feature in LucidChart)
- Reorganize by hierarchy
- Multiple pages
- Needs more hotkeys for faster node creation (like the mind mapping feature in LucidChart)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Great way to organize thoughts, brainstorm, think through problems. Some people think in excel sheets, some in paragraphs/prose, some in pictures. I personally think mind maps are the best way to corral scattered thoughts, jump around between ideas, and work on multiple problems at the same time. It's also a good way to represent that thinking for other people (especially if you reorganize it a little bit :)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I don't think it would be worth it to pay for subscriptions to BOTH Lucidchart and Lucidspark. I don't well enough understand the difference between the two, to be honest. It seems Lucidchart has almost everything I need, though the tagging & commenting features in Spark are especially nice for categorizing ideas and getting feedback.
The team collaboration and organization of the program reflected positively in my experience.
What do you like best about the product?
The team collaboration, organization, and assistance in displaying my project plans are good qualities in the program.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having to use a business email since small businesses just starting may not get the opportunity of Lucidspark. It’s hard to share photos on the website which would really help explain things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using it for projects when I work with my students or coworkers. Before, we had to communicate without being able to see what each other was talking about. This really helped me draw out any ideas I had and the other people could see it easily. This is really one of the greatest benefits.
