Makes Life Easy
What do you like best about the product?
Lucid Charts and Lucid Documents are easy to use with no prior experience needed. I created a lucid document and a Lucid chart which was shared across the team to gain good feedback and appreciation.
What do you dislike about the product?
The screen panning can be made more easy with a shortcut combination of Shift+ mouse scroll or something like that. If it is something that is already there then I would suggest that those can be shown to users as apart of tips and tricks. That would be extremely useful for the end users
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wanted a complex flow chart which was impossible to create by just understanding the software applicatiob, but I was able to create a detailed flowchart which showed the flow of data from the the raw data sources to the hands of the end users who would use it for Development
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would suggest you get your hands dirty on working with the tool and in a couple of mins you are good to go in a fluent manner. I had no prior experience in handling a documentation tool but it did not take me long to start using the tool in a comfortable manner. Make sure you also create something collaborative or something that you would want to show others and the hover function of the mouse in the flowcharts are so easy to track and make the users understand the flow of data and the ideas. The comment section that is present can also be used for handy documentation.
Perfect app for middle/secondary/post secondary/work! LOVE IT SO MUCH!
What do you like best about the product?
Can't tell you how many times I've use this website for my highschool and university! It has be extremely helpful and so well maintained! Love it, amazing website and super helpful! Couldn't have possibly done my secondary and post secondary school without it!! It has helped me to be caught up in school so much as well as learn new skills and practice on my old ones learned in school! Most data visualization apps are paid, lucidsparks is one of the very few that is almost entirely free and that's amazing!! Students like me need more organizations that offer free service such as lucidsparks! Such an excellent platform and an idea literaly made for students and industry professionals! One of the top best websites or organizations I'd highly recommend to be the most helpful ones out there!!
What do you dislike about the product?
Absolutely nothing! Everything on this website is accessible, easy to use, and fun! With my 5 years of using this website I've never come across an issue. It has sone differences between the general diagrams and how you can draw them onto lucidsparks, however all is still acceptable! Other than that, lucidsparks customer service is undeniably amazing as well as all their services! I don't believe there's any dislikes i have about lucidsparks when it comes to comparing it with other websites! It's a perfect website for any type of organization or individual whether it's school work, a self project, or professional industry work! Their features to share or present data is amazing and one of the very best websites I've used! And trust me I've used a whole lot!! The only downside id think would be that you don't get the ability to download it as a file, however you can share it to other people via email addresses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Business Technology diagrams such as UML, ERD, CLASS, BPMN. Lucidsparks is free which is really helpful especially for students! It has the ability to be shared all around and even printed for projects! Lucidsparks not only provides templates for these solutions but also the ability to edit the templates, add features and change the sizes and colors to make it the way you need! I've used lucidsparks for my secondary school business classes. I majored in IT management in my university and used this website throughout my 5 years of studies! Creating UML diagrams, ERD models, Class diagrams, business process management diagrams and so much more!! Lucidsparks has helped me pass my schooling as well as saved a few hundred dollars compared to other data visualization apps!!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
USE IT. That's all. There are not many program softwares one can use for free especially as s student. Data visualization softwares sometimes cost 100s of dollars. The fact that you're getting one of the best websites out there to create your models for free. One should use it to their maximum abilities!!
Review
What do you like best about the product?
I like the sticky pads, easy to use and navigate, had the templates for personas and can adjust the bars.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't really think of any negatives, only used it once. I
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Help with storyboards with other teammates. I was solving issues that involved with making a persona for my User Interface class, had little knowledge on how to create one and it was my first time creating one. Played a bit with the settings and interface and just having the premade template really helped out a lot. Will definitely will be using it more now that I will be entering my Ui/UX field and creating boards and personas are something that is being used daily. Even if im not working with storyboards all the little widgets and gadgets in the site can help in other fields like development.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
its pretty easy to use, got on the program and was able to navigate through it pretty easy. The templates that they have really help me with understanding what personas are and what to put in my own sections. Had issues trying to make a persona on my own but with lucidspark I was able to quickly understand what my assignments for school wanted me to input. Overall is a very good program will definitely be using it more, recommended some of my team members in my class to sign up cause they also where having issues with what a persona was.
Amazing tool to design yout project process and technical designs and architecture
What do you like best about the product?
UI, and user-friendly interface, and a lot of options to choose from. It helped me to design a process model of a requirement that I had. The tool was user-friendly and very easy to use. Export and Import options are really cool to use. I was able to export in PDF format and many more export options were available. I also directly presented the process chart from the applications themselves. I like sharing and teamwork options. I was able to share the application with my team members and give me some feedback and comments. Everything was real-time, which I like the most with this application. Overall it's a tool that I can recommend to everyone who works on difficult process models and technical architect or solution architect roles. It would suit much better for the environment and company.
What do you dislike about the product?
All good. Add some integrations of other applications would be great. Everything is great. I really don't dislike anything about this tool. So I would say there are no features that I dislike with lucidpark. I would wish to get more applications and UIs integrated with this application to enable users to have information flowing down from other applications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Technical Architecture and Process model. I was able to easily design and execute the designs that I had in my mind. It is easy to design some complicated models, flowcharts, and process maps.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great platform. Use teamwork. It's quite an amazing feature
User friendly and professional presentation

There are some limitations when using the free plan that I would love to try out.

Great, Flexible Product for Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I love how flexible the workspace is, and the ability to vote as a team on favorite ideas. The ability to organize and group notes is great as well, and being able to develop templates for similar future uses is a nice touch. I've been enjoying both the look and the function.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm happy with the product overall, though I could see room for expansion and the ability to include videos (e.g., linked or embedded from YouTube). I also wouldn't mind some small additions, like alignment options for multiple notes and creating bulleted lists.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Leading a group on public health data, I'm looking at organizing and visualizing the data we currently collect and other data we hope to in the future. It's a great platform to play with ideas, link related areas, and present our overall picture.
Powerful, easy to use flow chart software
What do you like best about the product?
It is quick and easy to get started without much effort. The interfaces and drop-down menus are very straightforward and it is very easy to produce a simple flowchart in minutes. Save and export options are excellent.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much that I would recommend tweaking or that struck me as a deal-breaker or "I hate this" feature/aspect.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Trying to create a quick and clear but professional looking flow chart quickly. Using Word, Excel and PowerPoint had not yielded anything that looked good; indeed, they were awful looking efforts.
Very simple, intutive and really functional, best tool I have ever used
What do you like best about the product?
I like the useful templates it offers. On the whiteboard, it is easy to create ideas and grouping together. Cool features are: Exporting to multiple options, importing document gifs and images, converting designs to the template, grid view, snap to objects. Sharing and collaborating are very flexible and provides multiple options to view and update changes and share by link feature.I seriously like the product and would recommend it to everyone in my organisation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Actually, I didn't dislike any feature, all features are cool. Good if you have prototyping of multiple web or mobile screens possible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Brainstorming, requirement gathering for a client. It is good to collect all the information in one place and group related items together which can be shared with the software development team. The use of sticky notes is great in collecting multiple ideas collaboratively and remotely that helps in creative thinking and better decision making
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great tool for virtual collaboration for a whiteboard that can be used for brainstorming, ideation, mind mapping. I also use this whiteboard with proposed customers in gathering requirements and collecting valuable feedback. This can also be used by the technical manager to screen candidates based on skills in designing, building product architectures, explaining business process tasks and flows. They can also be used to create feature flow and as well as how data flow in a software application. The availability on the cloud provides greater flexibility in terms of availability and collaboration. I seriously recommend this product to UX/UI designers, product managers, Machine learning engineers, marketing people to prepare personas and marketing campaigns.
Best System Design tools
What do you like best about the product?
I love the fact that I can design system with ease, I have also started exploring many of lucidspark capabilities and i must confess it is the best tool. i am currently using it for my research work and it is very great tool. i can create my DFD diagrams, FDD diagrams and many other system designs functionality already exist. this makes work exciting. I love using Lucid like i call it always.
What do you dislike about the product?
Well, I will love to see desktop version of it if it exist. something I can install on windows and macOS. I do prefer native experience compare to cross platforms. natives target core OS capability, I want to believe they are working on the desktop version more because currently I can integrate with Microsoft teams but i did love to see how it behaves as a standalone application compared to Visio side-by-side. i am sure it has the capability of rivaling what Visio brings to the windows ecosystem. this is a tool with great capability i am sure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Designing existing system using Lucidspark and capability to share with team member and work in a collaborative environment. Creating and designing systems for crypto currency and blockchain data system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get in, come onboard enjoy lucidspark capability. keep creating because lucidspark enables you to dream and create more.
