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

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.

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.

The interface is very easy to understand and user friendly. If you're familiar with Lucidchart there is litterally no learning curve.

Great Collaborative Tool for Students
What do you like best about the product?
While I was making flowcharts collaboratively with my group, the snapping of the arrows that pointed to each box helped a lot. I loved how the user had the option to make the arrows straight or a squiggly line.
What do you dislike about the product?
That some of the functions you have to pay for. I didn't know that I was on a trial.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before, I was creating flowcharts on Adobe Illustrator and just sending the AI file to my teammates whenever they needed to make changes. However with Lucidspark, I was able to create charts easily and collaboratively with multiple teammates.
