Easy to Use Tool for Remote Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidspark is very intuitive to use and perfect for note taking and collaboration. It's great for projects that rapidly change and is a flexible way to keep notes. I use it both professionally and personally, especially for preparing notes before calls. I started using Lucidspark because I'm a huge fan of LucidChart and so far, it's filled a gap that we have when using LucidChart- which is to have a more visual and less technical way to collaborate in a shared space. Lucidspark is well suited for anyone who works in design and needs a way to take quick notes then affinitize with a team anywhere in the world. There's lots of flexibility with color of post it, font styling, and connectors. They also have easy to use pre-made templates, similar to LucidChart. As a frequent user of LucidChart, Lucidspark is a perfect companion.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't think I've found anything that I dislike yet. We mostly use LucidChart and Mural, so I will have to make a case for why it's worth using Lucidspark over Mural.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm a visual person so keeping notes in traditional word documents can be more difficult to navigate, especially when trying to do it quickly. It's great for grouping like items, creating timelines, and high level takeaways. The flexibility of styling and different connectors lets someone easily track projects from any point in the design process. This solves the problem of documenting brainstorms that otherwise would be on physical post its or walls, into something that can be changed continually and accessed over and over again.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Browse through their templates before getting started, they likely have something already created for you!
A very good tool for engineers
What do you like best about the product?
My ideas weren't limited, in growth or in shape, by the size of the board : it allowed me to expand on concepts further than a traditional organizer. I can add ideas quickly, link them together and of course set up my own color code : constraints, client requirements, engineering hurdles are all distinguishible at a glance.
This has also become, for me, a place to store random thoughts, and it allows me to come back to them and very easily transform them into actionable information.

What do you dislike about the product?
As the product grows, I would love so see features allowing me to set up default parameters : I find myself constantly realigning the text on my post-its because the default centrered text doesn't suit my use of the tool. Also, allowing to resize shapes in 2D rather than only 1D (height and width are currently linked) would be a great improvement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Often, an idea clicks in my head and I usualy write it down on a piece of paper, which inevitably gets lost. With Lucidspark, I found that it is easier to express even the most unfinished thoughts and later improve on them. Of course, when designing a product, many ideas, constraints and requirement fly out of my mind, only to be remembered at a point where some design choices have to be modified. I found that with Lucidspark I am less prone to forgetting these things as they are clearly color-coded and always on display.
It's okay - work is still needed
What do you like best about the product?
I like the parity with Miro, that it can be used remotely for workshops. I like the Emojis. I like the ease of use. Less clunkiness than the traditional Lucid Product
What do you dislike about the product?
Biggest thing has been performance as docs have scaled.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for workshops at work. It's been helpful to have many people collaborating together
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't use if you expect the document to get too big. If you're just starting ideation it's great.
An excellent virtual whiteboard
What do you like best about the product?
It's really easy to jump in and use it just like you would an actual whiteboard.
What do you dislike about the product?
The free tier is generous, however I don't know why I can't have more color options. Limiting how many people and other advanced features makes sense but colors just seem like an easy thing to give to everyone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's a nice place for everyone in a virtual meeting to get whiteboard their thoughts and have something visual to point to. I use it to explain software architecture.
Evaluate LucidSpark as a platform for workshop design and facilitation
What do you like best about the product?
This tool has a very clean design and introduces some new interesting capabilities to help users during the facilitation of structured workshops. ‘Containers’ offer automated grouping, after labeling of stickies, nice.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no Agency/Consultancy friendly license available at this time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A client told us about LucidSpark asking to prepare some basic problem solving sessions.
Nice Visualisation and Real-Time Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Intuitive UX and realtime collaboration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Emails sent to collaborators delayed....
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was Lucidspark as an extension of Lucidchart, whereby if I am conducting a visualisation of a strategic plan, or mindmapping a specific workflow, I can use Lucidspark to collaborate in realtime with colleagues. So the bulk tends to be to use it for mind map projects, and high level strategic overviews and visualisations. However, I have also used it for more Jamboard style of exercises.
The realtime collaboration is great, being able to see what team members and collaborators are doing on the document, or moving etc, and vice versa with what I am doing. This means that less screens need to be shared via calls, so that the calls can be keep to video or audio of people, and referring to the live collab document whilst on the call.
The only frustration I am come across so far, is that sometimes the share emails that are generated when sharing a chart or board to someone, can be delayed. So adding people in a more ad-hoc fashion is stiffled, and the chart or document needs to be created perhaps a day before a call, to ensure that everyone has the email to access it etc. If this could be improved, or people can be added via sharing a link, that would be great, as sometimes, people are identified as being needed, whilst the collaboration is taking place.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Familiarise yourself with Lucidchart first, so that you have a more streamlined experience with Lucidspark. It's not necessary per ce, but makes for a better experience.
Great online whiteboard
What do you like best about the product?
It's very simple to use, there are enough drawing tools to do what you want without it being too overwhelming.
Lucidspark allows us to collaborate online easily.

What do you dislike about the product?
I would have said lack of text export functionalities, but just saw that they added a CSV export which looks promising.
Should they add a dot (graphviz) export, it'd be a killer product.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With the COVID-19 epidemic, we use Lucidspark to collaborate on multiple topics ranging from architecture to debugging.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
To be considered for an easy to use online whiteboarding and collaboration tool.
Very nice software for brainstorming and developing any idea with your team
What do you like best about the product?
It's great the Teamwork and collaboration features. You can be with your team working together at the same time, making proposals, decisions, and many other cool features.
It's also very useful that Lucidspark it's perfectly integrated with Lucidchart, so any document we have in Lucidchart can be developed in Lucidspark.

What do you dislike about the product?
Actually I didn't dislike anything. For us, being a very small company (3 people), maybe isn't that useful to pay for the year subscription (since probably we wouldn't use it that much). But I believe that It can be an amazing tool to create powerful results.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were starting a new project within our business, and we used Lucidspark to share ideas to set it up. We also use it to brainstorm marketing ideas.
The benefits were saving time because we could work together at the same moment, discussing anything on the Lucidspark board.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very useful for teams. In our case, once we developed the idea, we didn't use it that much again, so it wasn't very attractive to get the full year subscription. But maybe in the future we'll get it if we are making more projects.
