Easy, interactive, feature rich platform
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidspark is very feature-rich but extremely easy to use and find all the usual objects and functionality. I love the selection of templates if you don't know where to begin in an interactive brainstorming session. The collaboration functionality is especially well done and is very much like lucidchart in its collab aspect. It's extremely easy to create a board and use it as an effective online kanban board.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the selectability of objects on lucidspark was similar to lucidchart so you could easily group certain areas and move the whole area. That wasn't working as well as I hoped.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For a mostly remote workforce, finding a collab brainstorming whiteboard that can be effective with workflows, process charts, etc is hard to find. Being able to take a process flow then move it to a whiteboard to break it down and assess it in a collab session has been highly valuable. The benefits are easy collaboration across the globe and easy portability between tools that make process design and planning more effective.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very well done collab whiteboard with feature-rich functionality and great support.
Great program for collaboration. Easy to use. Better that other collaborative programs.
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use. Intuitive tools. Easy to share and use cooperatively. Virtually no learning curve. The program is browser based, but very responsive. I would use this over competitor software.
What do you dislike about the product?
Incorporating different media not as intuitive. Initially got confused with lucidchart.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Planning a workflow movie from hardcopy to online.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it. This is the equivalent of a white board and would be a great resource for brain storming or tweaking operations/workflows.
I had a good experience of use, very easy and practical to use
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to create mind maps, what I liked most were the existing models.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think it could have a native integration with Google Drive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task management with kanban tables and decision trees
I recommend this a lot
What do you like best about the product?
I deliver workshops and online group meetings and find this tool invaluable. I'm a flipchart/whiteboard guy and this gives me that same ability to sketch ideas and share work in real time with clients.
Also great for planning marketing workflows and visualising processes.

What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could make my own shapes. Sometimes I want a triangle that's a different proportion but I cant stretch or rotate the shapes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visualising concepts and plans
Recommendations to others considering the product:
So easy and low cost, why would you not?
Brilliant Tool for team brainstorming and remote collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to share ideas creatively, build thought flows on a collaborative canvas
What do you dislike about the product?
No iPad app, that makes it challenging when you want to sketch or write
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaborative brainstorming for our new startup, this app helped us plan better, we have used other simpler boards like Jamboard or the default board that comes with Zoom, but the outcome of the sprints was not achieved, this changed with Lucid Spark
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A great tool to get started for collaboration, use cases could be
+ Design sprints
+ Product planning
+ Website planning
+ Employee onboarding
(you could get really creative)

A must have tool to express ideas whether technical or business related.
What do you like best about the product?
I mostly do technical diagrams like flow charts and ERDs. Lucidchart provides so many different diagrams and even in that so many templates to choose from.
Using Lucidchart also educates you in a way, where you get to understand which diagram is the best to use for the requirment in question.
Add to that the UX is slick. You don't have to spend hours to make that connector connect cleanly to that box!

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing.
That said, you can borrow an idea or two from websequencediagrams. They provide a pretty easy way to type and created sequence diagrams.

On a day to day basis, i do all my technical diagrams like data modelling and flow charting using lucidchart.
The ease of use and the ample templates is what attracts me the most.

In the beginning, there was chaos. Then, Lucidchart stepped into my life.
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart is stupid simple. Some power users would probably laugh at how simple my Lucidchart implementations are — 90% of the time it's "open up one of my templates with the 6 different colored shapes I use, then start typing stuff in those shapes and dragging arrows between them".
The charts end up looking great. I actually use LucidChart to make the charts when I'm filming videos teaching Zoho CRM concepts, because they're so visually appealing and simple.
Also — the cloud architecture is wonderful and as simple and easy to share and collaborate as Google Docs (which I consider the gold standard for simple cloud collaboration).
Also, they may hate me for this, but it's super cost-effective — we have a team of 5 CRM consultants and we use one personal $120/year Lucidchart license that we share between us 😅

What do you dislike about the product?
This may sound silly, but I sometimes wish I could toggle on a "Simple Version" that hides all the crazy complex settings and shapes and just gives me EXACTLY what I want. That's one thing I always liked about Adobe CS is that I could control the UX to only focus on the tools that I actually want.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A tool like Lucidchart is 100% mandatory for CRM consulting (we use Zoho, very similar to Salesforce or Hubspot). We map out a client's business processes on big long pretty Lucidcharts and then build the system based off the flowchart.
We've gone from having super long docs to pretty, simple-to-read visual flowcharts.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get a single beautiful template and use that sucker over and over and over and over.
Game-changing and versatile program that's easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
LucidChart is an innovative and instrumental tool to visually map out processes and communication flows, as well as collaborate virtually through idea boards. I love that it's easy to use and adaptable to so many purposes. Whether I'm mapping out complicated communication flows or collaborating with large groups, LucidChart has become my go-to tool. And every time introduce LucidChart to others, they're instantly interested in adapting the program for their projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
As I learn how to use LucidChart, I find some of the drawing tools to be a little clunky — but, on the whole, find most of the program very easy to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're currently using LucidChart for several projects including: designing new communication flows as part of our work onboarding a CRM; designing a parent communication strategy; mapping out a channel strategy and redesigning our approach to online learning web content.
Using LucidChart for our projects has enabled me to showcase project progress in a way that visually interesting and also easy to understand. I have several LucidChart documents I reference almost daily as it's become an key part of how I work.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend you give LucidChart a try, particularly if you're looking for a multi-functional tool to meet your organization's needs. As a communicator, I strongly encourage other communication leaders to consider using this tool for ideation and idea refinement, strategic design and mapping communication flows.
