Helpful Tool, Wish it was setup as a Suite
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easily the platform organizes itself and how user-friendly it is; it is clear the development team considered user experience across the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
The most frustrating thing is the various "Lucid" platforms that aren't integrated and/or are paid for separately - it adds up quickly and I don't think the value is there to justify multiple subscriptions to the platform. IE: LucidSpark and LucidChart do integrate to stay within the same dashboard, but they don't (or it's not easy to figure out/I haven't yet) talk to a chart and spark.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are developing and outlining various operational workflows for our business - both internal and external resources. It's beneficial to have all of these tiny steps written out and visualized to allow better continuous improvement efforts and process changes. It has helped identify problem areas, quick fixes, areas that we do well, and areas that may need a longer-term solution to improve.

Really nice tool to help organize complex operating systems into a visual representation; worth the cost - super easy to use and customize.

What do you dislike about the product?
I like everything so far, not sure if there's anything to dislike.
I got the satisfaction I could ever have asked for.
I may have loved that we get monthly email tips to better improve our designs.
Video tutorial hyperlinks or hyperlinks may be quite useful as well.
Then maybe some reminder emails if someone has not logged in for a while.

User-friendly Interface, Seemless Integration with multiple other tools, and Ability Import to kickstart things immediately.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there is a performance issue, but it's rare and not so frequent.

Anything related to Projects diagrammatic Slides, Architectural Designs etc
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to do kick-ass designs representation of your project/architecture/process etc. With Readymade Templates that are available in various categories. The process of designing gets elegant and easier, rather than starting things from scratch, these templates give a wonderful base to build upon, quickly design and bring desired output. Futher the collaboration platform gives a faster feedback and integration mechanism to share works and fastly execute stuff.
Simple and effective whiteboarding online.
What do you like best about the product?
Postit note function - in collaboration with other users. It made it quick and easy to brainstorm ideas. This changed what me and my colleauges were doing beforehand (which was sharing a document) - it felt much more like actually being in the room with eachother.
What do you dislike about the product?
When using my own image as a background, it could have been easier to line up the graph to the format of the sprites.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Online collaboration and design methodology. Brainstroming and story telling ideas.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great simple and free service for online whiteboarding and collaboration. Just try it, you'll be suprised at how simple it is.
User friendly, aesthetically pleasing and a great way to organise ideas.
What do you like best about the product?
Loved the idea of visual sticky notes, being able to move them and add comments on the whiteboard. Visually it was clean and not too crowded. Also the ability to all add as a team remotely and in conjunction with each other. I love the way that users can add reactions to post it notes and the automated ways you can organize sticky notes. Having different colors is another really simple way to differentiate between ideas which is perfect for visual planners like myself. Being constantly editable is great too, as is the ability to share the board across the team following meetings. Features like spell check are valuable, particularly when exporting into another format. A feature I am yet to use is the time element, I think this could work especially well as we are looking to ensure our meetings are engaging and concise. I noticed the voting option - this is such a great way to quickly decide on goals/strategies quickly. Breakout boards are another idea that works really well - allowing smaller groups that may be discussing different tasks to focus on those collectively.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only issue I can think of is too many collaborators make the board sometimes a little hectic/difficult to use. Equally moving notes can sometimes be a bit confusing when other people are working on the board, and sometimes the issue arose where someone wrote over/on someone else's note that was created - however this would surely be eliminated with more frequent use. I haven't looked into whether or not you can integrate this with other platforms like Slack but I wonder if that would be helpful to send ideas to via Slack. I also wonder if the ability to include images in your post-its would be helpful - like screenshots. I did find the whiteboard itself slightly 'slippy' when navigating, and it was hard to zoom but also maintain a view of all the notes when looking at a bigger board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving the problem of a remote way to collaborate and brainstorm. Benefits are sharing ideas in a permanent, engaging way which works really well when remote working is so prevalent. Also it means we don't need someone organizing the meeting/taking notes, putting the focus back on ideas and not jotting things down. It also works as a permanent space for users to refer back to which is super helpful when looking retrospectively. Furthermore, for those not included in team meetings, it is simple and clear to look at. The clear benefit is the ability to work in a team as if you were in the office, which is certainly missed. Other problems we solved with lucid spark was managing to allow the whole team to convey their ideas without the difficulties of Zoom - talking over each other etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend for those looking for a simple, visual way to work collaboratively. While my review is based on the free services, these alone were impressive enough to make a marked difference in a meeting with hold regularly.
Amazing Tech!!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the functionality of it I can use it to create so many diagrams and flow charts it is very customizable even with the lite version.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think it could improve on adding more shapes and images. It has s good array but sometimes I can not find a shape that would work better. Also smoother transitions in workspace.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
How to connect ideas and concepts in a clear visible way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can use lucidcharts for all your diagram needs that provides you with a fully customizable layout to clearly diagram everything you need. Lucid sparks is an incredible interactive tool that can help educators build interactive models easily.
Very useful for collaboration to create workflows and diagrams
What do you like best about the product?
Real-time collaboration made it super easy, copying and pasting images into it to build it out is great as well. Using the wireframes/models provided really helps. Having multiple sheets allows us to have various versions in one document so we can see the differences between each iteration if we so desire.
Able to come back in and continue to modify the documents really helps as well!
