Collaboration made simple
What do you like best about the product?
Its so easy to create a visually pleasing diagram/flowchart/etc during meetings. Using sticky notes allows for all users to contribute easily to a workshop without much prior teaching.
What do you dislike about the product?
The application is so flexible to create a large board to capture many items. It would be extremely useful to allow users to follow BPMN symbols to capture processes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allowing collaboration from all parts of the business to define a new to-be process for the business to operate on. Using visio was difficult to distribute and Lucid allows all info to be kept online
Good, solid platform for collaborative work
What do you like best about the product?
The collaborative nature allowed my team to brainstorm ideas and see how they developed more naturally than if we had done it simply over a call. The team could work collectively using the post it and signposted areas to flag ideas and give feedback while a single member was talking.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the features we were excited to use were locked beind the premium version which felt a little restrictive. Specifically the timelines feature would have been especially useful when planning our timetable for our charity livestream.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LucidSpark allowed us to free-form generate ideas through sticky notes, sort those ideas into categories and visually represent out best and most supported ideas easiy.
Organise and share ideas
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can collaborate with others in real-time, so I can quickly get feedback on my ideas.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't used it enough to find some cons. It's been helpful for my purpose so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping me reorganise and better visualise the org chart.
Old school meets new school

The post-it notes are my favorite feature.
It brings back memories of in person brainstorming sessions.
It's easy to navigate.

What do you dislike about the product?
Has a lot of similar features to Lucidcharts. So there isn't a lot to dislike as this is user friendly.
I did not get a chance to use the breakout session feature.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Virtual collaboration that would otherwise be done in person
Featureful, but first impressions appear to be clunky
What do you like best about the product?
As I have used web sequencingdiagrams & draw.io, its good to see several of the features are similar which greatly helps in moving away from a widely used tooling into Lucid diagramming tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
As we work on confluence a lot, the plugin of lucid/confluence seems to be pretty clunky with slow load times and often crashing (though any partial work are saved automatically).
Some bits of diagramming doesn't seem to be very intuitive and visually not there with draw.io (that may be because of a standard learning curve of the usage of this tool)
An auto completion feature for sequence diagrams (like eclipse/intellij ides) would be very useful

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Architecture rely heavily on diagramming and visual collaboration activities. So in that respect Lucid is well positioned to support us.
It is too early to say if using this tool has been better than what was being used before. However, based on the short videos and internet resources I have seen it does appear to have a lot of features (still to be explored and exploited to its full potential).

Easy to create, but a little clunky.
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to add new pieces to your charts and color code them.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the features don't run smoothly. I find myself trying to do the same thing over and over again and it worked the first time and not the 2nd.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helped me have a visual of my organization and how many holes I have within my org chart.

Switched to Lucid after using Visio for over 20 years.
What do you like best about the product?
Cloud-based and all that entails. Allows me to use Mac and PC and easily access diagrams regardless of client/browser. Still learning the tool but I think there are probably other good features. I also like the ability to mass update shapes and save shape templates.
What do you dislike about the product?
The sharing of diagrams is problematic as users believe they need to log- in and pay to view the diagram. This is highly problematic when sharing with larger client groups and stakeholders.
I also find the alignment (snap to grid, etc.) is not very good. Maybe my own unfamiliarity with the tool and have tried multiple settings, but still find it a bit "loose".

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was happy with Visio, except that it was PC-only and not cloud-based, so that is the primary benefit of Lucid chart. I also use Lucid spark for whiteboarding virtually while facilitating workshops.
A smooth transition to lucidspark from Miro

Inituitive interface which is aesthetically pleasing
What do you dislike about the product?
Not being able to make app wireframes as well as on Figma.
