Lucidspark review

  • April 06, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to help students organize their ideas visually. My students are building virtual flowcharts for work plans for their graduate projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
It requires a bit of a learning curve, and that comments aren't available for free. Also the verification process to get an account took a little while, and some students were not able to get into the collaborative whiteboard immediately, some not at all (though I will admit this is the case with ANY virtual platform when working with high-schoolers).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Students need to create flowcharts for their graduation projects, and it is nice to have them conceptualize in a tool like Lucidspark.In the past, they would create a simple table in word with the months and with the actions they would take during that month. They were not dynamic, inspiring, or interesting. The flowchart inherently gives a flow to the work that they will do, and making the sequence visual like that is a great help to the teachers reviewing the process.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be creative and open to using Lucidspark in COLLABORATION with students, not as a place for you to be the center. It can be intimidating and even worrying to allow students the freedom to post, especially anonymously or semi-anonymously. But that should not dissuade you from having a good time and allow students to express themselves openly and freely.

Great tool to create all kinds of Diagrams and Charts

  • April 06, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use. Create editable diagrams, option to import diagrams from other applications. With easy to use options of importing diagrams from different tools like draw.io makes editing older diagram a charm. Prededfined templates helps in quickly creating different tyepes of diagrams.
Morever the documents can be shared among colleagues which makes collaboration among peers much easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
Editing imported diagrams from other tools such as draw.io doesn't work as smoothly as one would expect. The allignments and styles get jumbled up when you import the diagram, though shapes and sizes are more or less maintained . Every single time when improrting a diagram one needs to spend considerable amount of time setting up the correct alignments and arrow pointers which is quite a pain.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work as a Software Engineer dealing in complex software applications involving large amounts of data flowing from different systems. Lucid app primarily helps in creating software architecture diagrams, data-flow diagrams, and flow charts which helps in designing and understanding software systems easier.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is an excellent tool if your work involves any charts or diagrams.

What do you like best about the product?
Huge list of features with great ease of use even for first time whiteboard users
Collaboration is easy and brainstorming is a breeze with Lucid Spark.

Navigation across the whiteboard could be a bit difficult when multiple spaces are being used to write or draw.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating my first product and collaborating on design sprints and ideation has become very simple since we are working remotely. In the post covid world, collaborating from multiple geographies becomes all the more useful.

What do you like best about the product?
Everyone can access it simultaneously, which makes it easy for group projects. It made the group project a success because everyone participated. I like that there were different colors for each person. I was able to leave a comment or emoji. You could create a poll for everyone to vote. I think this is a great software for teachers to use with their classes. It would would allow the students to be engaged and makes it easy to track participation.

When I did my group project we used the shapes and arrows to show the steps that would be taken in order to create a training. The arrows and shapes made it easy for the other members in the course to follow along. If they had a question, they were able to leave a comment or address it at the meeting. If we needed to make changes it was easy and it did not ruin the work that was already there.

Great software!
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far. When I used it, I was impressed. It allowed everyone in the group to participate. I think its kid and adult friendly. The creator of this software in very innovated. Kudos to you!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We did a group training where we broke off into smaller groups. We came up with a training as part of our assignment. It encouraged open communication with the group and when we were stuck, the help tool was useful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep up the good work.

What do you like best about the product?
Teams in my org use Lucidspark for defining and refining production processes. The best thing about Lucidspark is the maneuverability.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm still new at this software, but I don't like that there is no place to record brief notes about each process; notes that can be hidden/shown with a mouse hover. This could be a great addition to the tool especially for collaborating on process improvement. Another great function to add is an Action Item box. Many times, we can't finish collaborating without going out of the collaboration and obtaining more information.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving coordination problems right now. We have several teams involved in the production procedure. As we change our tools and processes, the biggest issue we have is making sure everyone is on the same page. Lucidspark allows us to illustrate the processes and view all the steps as a team. We can make live changes and collaborate on steps that are unclear or need more refining.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you don't use products like Lucidspark often in your day-to-day business, then make sure to use the "What's New" feature of Lucidspark. It will provide you with recent updates that were made to tool .
