Perfect app for middle/secondary/post secondary/work! LOVE IT SO MUCH!
What do you like best about the product?
Can't tell you how many times I've use this website for my highschool and university! It has be extremely helpful and so well maintained! Love it, amazing website and super helpful! Couldn't have possibly done my secondary and post secondary school without it!! It has helped me to be caught up in school so much as well as learn new skills and practice on my old ones learned in school! Most data visualization apps are paid, lucidsparks is one of the very few that is almost entirely free and that's amazing!! Students like me need more organizations that offer free service such as lucidsparks! Such an excellent platform and an idea literaly made for students and industry professionals! One of the top best websites or organizations I'd highly recommend to be the most helpful ones out there!!
What do you dislike about the product?
Absolutely nothing! Everything on this website is accessible, easy to use, and fun! With my 5 years of using this website I've never come across an issue. It has sone differences between the general diagrams and how you can draw them onto lucidsparks, however all is still acceptable! Other than that, lucidsparks customer service is undeniably amazing as well as all their services! I don't believe there's any dislikes i have about lucidsparks when it comes to comparing it with other websites! It's a perfect website for any type of organization or individual whether it's school work, a self project, or professional industry work! Their features to share or present data is amazing and one of the very best websites I've used! And trust me I've used a whole lot!! The only downside id think would be that you don't get the ability to download it as a file, however you can share it to other people via email addresses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Business Technology diagrams such as UML, ERD, CLASS, BPMN. Lucidsparks is free which is really helpful especially for students! It has the ability to be shared all around and even printed for projects! Lucidsparks not only provides templates for these solutions but also the ability to edit the templates, add features and change the sizes and colors to make it the way you need! I've used lucidsparks for my secondary school business classes. I majored in IT management in my university and used this website throughout my 5 years of studies! Creating UML diagrams, ERD models, Class diagrams, business process management diagrams and so much more!! Lucidsparks has helped me pass my schooling as well as saved a few hundred dollars compared to other data visualization apps!!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
USE IT. That's all. There are not many program softwares one can use for free especially as s student. Data visualization softwares sometimes cost 100s of dollars. The fact that you're getting one of the best websites out there to create your models for free. One should use it to their maximum abilities!!
Review
What do you like best about the product?
I like the sticky pads, easy to use and navigate, had the templates for personas and can adjust the bars.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't really think of any negatives, only used it once. I
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Help with storyboards with other teammates. I was solving issues that involved with making a persona for my User Interface class, had little knowledge on how to create one and it was my first time creating one. Played a bit with the settings and interface and just having the premade template really helped out a lot. Will definitely will be using it more now that I will be entering my Ui/UX field and creating boards and personas are something that is being used daily. Even if im not working with storyboards all the little widgets and gadgets in the site can help in other fields like development.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
its pretty easy to use, got on the program and was able to navigate through it pretty easy. The templates that they have really help me with understanding what personas are and what to put in my own sections. Had issues trying to make a persona on my own but with lucidspark I was able to quickly understand what my assignments for school wanted me to input. Overall is a very good program will definitely be using it more, recommended some of my team members in my class to sign up cause they also where having issues with what a persona was.
Comprehensive and versatile tool for communication and collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I can choose between a collaborative board, with limited functionality, or a full on chart to dig deep into a design
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like more tools in the collaborative board
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communicating and collaborating with my team
Amazing tool to design yout project process and technical designs and architecture
What do you like best about the product?
UI, and user-friendly interface, and a lot of options to choose from. It helped me to design a process model of a requirement that I had. The tool was user-friendly and very easy to use. Export and Import options are really cool to use. I was able to export in PDF format and many more export options were available. I also directly presented the process chart from the applications themselves. I like sharing and teamwork options. I was able to share the application with my team members and give me some feedback and comments. Everything was real-time, which I like the most with this application. Overall it's a tool that I can recommend to everyone who works on difficult process models and technical architect or solution architect roles. It would suit much better for the environment and company.
What do you dislike about the product?
All good. Add some integrations of other applications would be great. Everything is great. I really don't dislike anything about this tool. So I would say there are no features that I dislike with lucidpark. I would wish to get more applications and UIs integrated with this application to enable users to have information flowing down from other applications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Technical Architecture and Process model. I was able to easily design and execute the designs that I had in my mind. It is easy to design some complicated models, flowcharts, and process maps.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great platform. Use teamwork. It's quite an amazing feature
Useful for collaboration online
What do you like best about the product?
It helps our team to work at distance while we are unable to work in person. If it were not for a service such as this we would struggle to brainstorm ideas as we work to interpret data. Especially early on in the process when we would usually use a white board, now we use this service. I also appreciate how I am able to use different colors and shapes to describe the data. It is similar to how I use different colors of pens and paper to sort my ideas by hand.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes displaying data on a screen in a collaborative way is more difficult than working with a physical white board in person. In general, for me I am more of an in person, tactile worker, so using online platforms is generally not my preference. However, that said, a service such as this one helps to meet this need in some ways. That is to say, it imitates using a physical white board or pen and paper for brainstorming ideas.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have worked together to help code qualitative interviews. It helps to brainstorm the initial interpretation of data. Our team also uses it during virtual meetings to help sort the flow or concepts of the data we are working with. Or sometimes to help figure out the direction for a report or paper that we are planning. We also use it to figure out the direction of a program we are planning, the logic and steps involved with the planned program content.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a useful platform for helping teams to work together online. It helps to fill the gap that we experience from the remote working world.
Virtual Standup Board Adds Value for Remote Work
What do you like best about the product?
Love the ease of use, simple interface and flexible options for creating boards to meet different business unit needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing at all at this time based on my experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a virtual board to monitor projects managed by various team members and can organize work in the various pipeline stages. This supports a twice weekly virtual standup with other company team members. It helps to enable collaboration, aligning priorities and transparency on backlog items.
Collaborative Tool
What do you like best about the product?
So Many Options to choose from and wide variety of controls.
What do you dislike about the product?
Layout is a bit confusing. User Interface could be more interactive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data Modelling and Data flow diagrams
Really helped my team create the perfect mind map!
What do you like best about the product?
I like that we can ideate and create in real-time, and truly see how our ideas connect.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have yet to best figure out overlaying ideas to see how well they fit with each other. I'm unclear if this feature is actually offered.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working on a framework for a city-wide campaign. LucidSpark helps connect all the dots.
Great platform for mass collaboration and idea sketching
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to create, resize, connect ideas together and collaborate in real time really draws the line between using LucidSpark and other platforms such as Google Drawing. LucidSpark's fast server response times allow for quick collaboration. I also enjoy the fact that users export the resulting project as a pdf of vector image (no blurry objects). This allows for an expansive mindmap that is easily enjoyable by both users and also readers. My team and I also enjoy using LucidSpark's "snap on" features with certain objects as well as locking allowing for designing tasks to easily be overcome.
What do you dislike about the product?
LucidSpark does at time lag when big projects load, which is reasonable. However, to improve user experience with LucidSpark, this problem should be easily fixed. As a new user to LucidSpark, I would also value the ability to "rebind" my keys which allow me to adapt to the platform to much stronger degree since I am effectively "lowering" the skill curve needed to transition from another platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company values customer insights and the ability to mindmap them / organize them on a platform is extremely important to ensure that we maintain the standards and solve problems that clients are expecting. The ability to see real time and have all the different objects that you can create (sticky notes, arrows ... etc.), allows for many creative and insightful ways to organize the information to then further analyze and pull those insights. This adds much value to my company and a direct benefit that was derived from using LucidSpark.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely experiment around a bit before demonstrating it to your team. This will allow you to guide them to complete the tasks that you require of them. In doing so, you really are creating value through using the platform.
User friendly and professional presentation
What do you like best about the product?
I like all the fun, organized features to put your thoughts in order
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some limitations when using the free plan that I would love to try out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving a quick and easy way for my team of teachers to collaborate together. I have realized the benefit of sharing the same screen when in different locations.
