Easy to use site
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to create a flowchart without much experience
What do you dislike about the product?
In terms of usability I thought it was weird how I had to right click to get the hand to move around in the chart. Maybe there could be a button to change the cursor that is easier to find.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was asked to create a flowchart as a collaboration assignment and it was easy to do that.
Intuitive tool with short time to value
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to unerstand interface, with most if not all the tools you'd expect when working in front of a whiteboard, only simpler to keep organised. In only a few days I have gotten accustomed to using almost every tool available in Lucidspark easily and quickly through single-key keyboard shortcuts. Sharing baords with other team members was also easily achieved through a tight integration with Slack, which was extremely easy to implement. I use the platform daily, especially Lucidspark which enables building and sharing a user story map with the entire product team the next bes thing to having them in the room.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would have liked it if the pen tool automatically updated my "drawings" to looks smoother, like real drawings. When using a mouse, it is difficult to give lines that realistic look.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing a product with an entirely remote team proves challengind when trying to have everyone "stand in front of the same board". Lucid makes that experience as close to real life as possible, yet adding some flexibility and organisation capabilities that a real-life board would not provide.
Lucid, the best partner that really helps you to shine
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy is to draw in this tool. The templates that you can find and use are incredible, this way you can go directly to edit them and have a work done in few minutes. The amount of shapes and the variety of icons you can drop in your sheet is very complete. Some of the things that I prefer of lucid compared to similar tools like draw.io is that the nodes are easier to handle, the shapes looks more natural and the feeling when doing drag and drop is just delicious.
What do you dislike about the product?
Despite the fact the this is an incredible tool, one big downside I see is the price, specially for those small business, solo-preneurs o profesionals that want to use it but they don't wanna add another tool into their list of subscriptions that could/are burning their wallet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm a believer that a graph can explain better and quicker than hundreds of text pages. Lucid really helps me in that regard, with lucid we can create a diagram and get rid of tons of documents. Based on our experience we can say that graphs are concise, small, easy to maintain and easy to become the source of truth for the team and the company.
Using Lucid for Product Management
What do you like best about the product?
Having access to the templates for product vision and product roadmap saves me a lot of time. The ability to pinch and zoom on the Mac helps me with client presentations. When I create sequence diagrams the ability to create connections just by hovering over a box and dragging across is better than inserting a connection through cut and paste that I did with other apps, seems more fluid of an experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have only used lucid for a few months, would be good if I could organise my diagrams under folders, so far I don't see easy way to do this, it might available but I don't see a folder creation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating diagrams with readily available templates allows me to rapidly turnaround client engagements.
Easy tool for floor map
What do you like best about the product?
Since it's cloud-based we can access it from anywhere
What do you dislike about the product?
There are only a few icons and measurements of the shapes cannot be changed by entering the numbers in the dialog box
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A lucid chart benefits me by plotting a floor map of our industry. It's solving re-layout of the floor map
Seamless visual communication
What do you like best about the product?
Lucid proved indispensable in our board meeting. Using it to create a process map, we effectively conveyed our project's vision. The board loved the clarity and visuals, gaining a clear understanding of our plans. Lucid's intuitive interface and collaborative features make it a top choice for seamless visual communication. Highly recommended.
What do you dislike about the product?
If there is desktop app for it, that will make it even more better
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping me provide ideas in form of diagrams for my meetings
GREAT FOR DEFINING WORKFLOWS AND PROCESSES
What do you like best about the product?
THE SOFTWARE HAS BECOME INCREDIBLY SIMPLE AND YET VERY POWERFUL AT THE SAME TIME. IT ALLOWS FOR THE CREATION OF AMAZING DETAIL AND VISUAL SIMPLICITY WHEN CREATING WORKFLOWS AND PROCESSES. IT HAS REALLY HELPED CLARIFY WHAT IS HAPPENING TO GET TO WHAT SHOULD BE HAPPENING WHEN THINKING ABOUT APPROPIATE OVERSIGHT AND CHECKS AND BALANCES. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET NEW STAFF TO USE IT VERY QUICKLY. AND NOW ACROSS THE ORGANISATION IT USED AS THE STANDARD WAY TO PLOT OUT HOW THINGS SHOULD BE DONE.- WE USE IT VERY FREQUENTLY.
What do you dislike about the product?
THERE IS LITTLE INTEGRATION INTO OTHER SERVICES LIST MICROSOFT SUITE OR DROPBOX. IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE IF YOU CAN USE THE PROCESS FLOW CHARTS TO THEN CREATE PROJECT PLANS BASED ON THE AGREED STEPS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hey we have a radio distinct processes which don't speak to each other this to allowed us to review what is happening and plan what should be happening so that they can be compare to other processes and able to great greater transparency about decision-making processes responsibilities.
Easy charts made quickly!
What do you like best about the product?
I loved the ease of use and the templates available to begin your chart. After that, the possibilities are endless!
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really to dislike, the ease of use for creating flow charts or other charts is easy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing the chain of command for our company. Organizing the process of other problem areas. The flow charts really helped us understand and outline the issues and/or questions the staff had.
Simple lucid experience
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity. I love how it's very easy to use. The tool itself is intuitive and items are easily searchable. Ease of integration is great - it works well with confluence, and notion which I love.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there are these one-off bugs when you try to embed lucid chart on to confluence. Lucid gets confused on the page title, template names etc and it automatically fixes itself after a while. Also, sometimes you can see Lucid get bog down because of server overload perhaps? I do want to point these occurances are ≤ 5% of my total time with Lucid.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Lucid extensively for documenting connectivity drawings of test fixtures and test stations. The easy interface allows me to document my work very thoroughly and efficiently.
Such a great collaborative tool suite!
What do you like best about the product?
The way that Lucid enables live collaboration between users whilst enabling information sharing is fantastic. I'm particularly a fan of the integration of external data and visual tools which really amplify the overall experience. The transition between Spark and Chart also enables a variety of tools to be applied to the same board rather than having to have more than one board or not being able to utilise the full suit of tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a little weird getting used to the interface to start with and therefore maybe a more well rounded tutorial on initial start up but once used to, it's very simple and effective.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to get all ideas on a board from all users is fantastic as the previous software I've used has not been as easy to collaborate on. It also enables better interaction with overseas colleagues
