Easy to use, convenient to share
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart lets you design attractive, non-standard graphics that are easily understood by a wide range of businesses. Interaction with the product is fluid, images find their use in presentations, and data integrity is maintained when exporting to colleagues using Visio, Word, and Adobe Photoshop, and especially when saving.
What do you dislike about the product?
We often get annoyed with the UI, although sometimes it doesn't waste much space. For people like me who use tablets and laptops, it can be a giant to use the extra screen space.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A wireframe is critical for all developers as it illustrates the business goals and constraints during development. When it comes to wireframes, I rely on Lucidchart, it's always been my first choice.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can try Lucidchart now with a free plan.
Good templates with clear visualization
What do you like best about the product?
The capacity of drawing different types of graphs
What do you dislike about the product?
The size of some shape cannot be automatically aligned to the background lines
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Flow charts
Fantastic product, easy to use.
What do you like best about the product?
Collaboration is very easy. When running client workshops online, it's very easy to share a link with workshop participants and get them to join in and collaborate.
What do you dislike about the product?
No inbuilt icon library. When creating diagrams, I often have to search for Icons from google and insert it into Lucidspark. Would be much easier if I didn't have to leave the app for this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Running online workshops have been a challenge without an effective collaboration tool, I have been trialling Lucidspark on one of my current projects and has help with collaboration enormously.
Lucidspark review
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidspark is a simple but helpful tool to replace whiteboards and build out idea requirements and step by step work flows in a group environment. I found the containers and templates useful and self-explanatory. The best part of the product was that it does exactly what it advertises and does it simply and well.
What do you dislike about the product?
It might be helpful to have the ability to lock certain sections when they are being worked on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to complete some valuable joint work while in a fully remote environment. I believe we will be able to continue to use the product even after returning to a largely in person environment as it will allow multiple users from different interfaces.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Yes once I learn this product more, i would like to recommend to my collegues
Simple, powerful and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
I would say the flexibility is awesome, since you can do whatever you want. Notes, planning sessions, kanban boards, discovery meetings
What do you dislike about the product?
For me it can take some time to load, and there are other apps (like miro) that do load faster
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it mainly for meeting notes and it’s really cool to use it as a collaborative tool
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Test it out to see how it works. You may end up loving it
Lucidspark is a fantastic product
What do you like best about the product?
It is one of the most flexible and diversified diagrams drawing tools in the market. You can draw any mind map, flow chart, and any other diagram you can imagine. And there hundreds of templates you can select.
What do you dislike about the product?
The fees, can the fees structure be more flexible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visually demonstrate our thinking. Time efficiency to draw, and flexibility to draw in according to our requirements.
Easy to use and lots of tools!
What do you like best about the product?
Moving around the text blocks is simple and quick to do. It makes it easy to make neat designs and keep everything organized. Lucidspark saves time compared to spending hours on Microsoft Word trying to organize a proper image.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see words appear above icons when you hover it to see what the icon is for. Also, exporting to Microsoft Word required me to use the snipping tool and paste in the image. A better integration would be a huge plus. Other than those two issues, I found the website to be great and user friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I had to create a flow of activities for work. It was sloppy to do in a paragraph so I went looking for a website that would easily guide me through making a flow diagram. Lucidspark saved my reputation and time that would've been spent organizing a sloppy process elsewhere. The benefits include coming off as someone who goes above and beyond for their work and taking the time to organize information in an easy to follow way. This is also quick to do, which is even better. Different shapes are provided for decisions, conclusions, etc. and colours of the lines, boxes, and backgrounds can all be altered to fit any need. You can set margin sizes to make sure exporting the file doesn't make sizing an issue. Grid lines are provided along with pop up measurement tools to make the diagrams symmetrical.
Powerful and straightforward to use
What do you like best about the product?
It took me just 20 minutes to get started. The UI is intuitive, controls are powerful enough. The template library helps a great deal.
What do you dislike about the product?
The integrated search never finds what you're looking for. Also quite hard to find components that are not shown for your template by default.The integrated search never finds what you're looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Documenting architecture of applications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Can't really advise anything.
Makes Life Easy
What do you like best about the product?
Lucid Charts and Lucid Documents are easy to use with no prior experience needed. I created a lucid document and a Lucid chart which was shared across the team to gain good feedback and appreciation.
What do you dislike about the product?
The screen panning can be made more easy with a shortcut combination of Shift+ mouse scroll or something like that. If it is something that is already there then I would suggest that those can be shown to users as apart of tips and tricks. That would be extremely useful for the end users
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wanted a complex flow chart which was impossible to create by just understanding the software applicatiob, but I was able to create a detailed flowchart which showed the flow of data from the the raw data sources to the hands of the end users who would use it for Development
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would suggest you get your hands dirty on working with the tool and in a couple of mins you are good to go in a fluent manner. I had no prior experience in handling a documentation tool but it did not take me long to start using the tool in a comfortable manner. Make sure you also create something collaborative or something that you would want to show others and the hover function of the mouse in the flowcharts are so easy to track and make the users understand the flow of data and the ideas. The comment section that is present can also be used for handy documentation.
