A very user-friendly tool, handy for brainstorms in times where we all turn digital.
What do you like best about the product?
The post-it tool that you can use with different people to organise brainstorm sessions. Additionaly, drawing arrows to make connections or being able to draw schemes with the different shapes makes it a good summarizing tool as well. The fact that you can export your document to pdf-format is an added value as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that you have to switch between the grabbing and the navigating tool. When you have a document with a big scope it is not always super handy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organising brainstorm sessions, making the theory of change for our organisation.
Competent collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
When my team are all connected, it does feel like being at a whiteboard. Everyone's cursor shows up in a different colour and it's easy to see who is collaborating right now. It's great that new stickies can be added by simply double clicking and it's not hard to quickly create clear and neat (for the OCD amongst us!) diagrams, flows and story maps. As a user of Lucidchart it's good it shares a common UI so picking it up was very easy
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't find the pen function terribly useful, other than that it's pretty useful. I guess there's perhaps not that much to make it stand out from similar apps like Whiteboard or Miro
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've been mostly using it to draw out process flows with the development team, though looking at the included templates, I might also use it to run the next retrospective too.
It really enhanced my meetings performance
What do you like best about the product?
Less components available with wide usage
What do you dislike about the product?
Mapping between components should be enhanced
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast Design mock-ups for UI or BI.
Process design, mind mapping.
Process design, mind mapping.
"Plug and Play"
What do you like best about the product?
I love the GUI and how it automatically expands my workspace on the go when i expand my charts.
What do you dislike about the product?
the loading time of the documents could be better but it's not a showstopper.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating flows has not been easier and be able to share it and collaborate makes it great!! And the fact that I can create APP designs in the same workspace is just amazing - Best of Many worlds. We are now going to try out the project management templates and I have high hopes for how it will make our organization more effective. Last but not least, the Integration part where we can connect existing tools to Lucid is outstanding and I recommend it to both single users to easily create flows and charts (or app designs) but also for bigger organizations with remote users that can collaborate on the same project from opposite sides of the world.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out and you will for sure not regret it!
Great Tool For Engineer
What do you like best about the product?
I often have to pull information from several different sources in my job. Often, I will use the information and then not need it again for weeks at a time. Lucidspark is allowing me to create virtual notebooks for different procedures. This is saving tons of time writing procedures or notes because I'm simply doing screengrabs of the relevant information and saving to a Lucidspark file. Much quicker than typing or writing all of this down.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not crazy about the separate subscriptions for both Lucidspark and Lucidchart. I first paid for Lucidchart (which is a great app in its own right) but then found that Lucidspark works better in my situation. So it cost me two subscriptions to sort out what worked best for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm Controls Engineer and I'm using Lucidspark to aggregate data/instructions from multiple sources into single files.
Lucid Spark is a amazing tool to hammer out all your ideas and prototypes.
What do you like best about the product?
The thing that I most like is the variety of themes and templates available.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the page gets slow, it takes some seconds to open a file.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Create mind maps, canvas, annotations and boards faster than ever.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Explore and enjoy the templates. Probably you'll find one that fits your needs.
Tool apt to collaborate to brainstorm
What do you like best about the product?
lag free performance, ability to share with team and publish the document
What do you dislike about the product?
not much to dislike, only thing when a board is shared with with it only gives me option to comment
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
helps in elicitation of business requirement and helps us in defining the business process at a high level, great tool capture the requirement during video conferencing calls
Great for my team.
What do you like best about the product?
Very good platform, really like it! Awesome.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, just a really great platform. Fabulous.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
So many, just really love the platform, fabulous whiteboard experience.
A great replacement for a conference room and whiteboard!
What do you like best about the product?
Love the collaboration features. The ability to invite non-Lucid users into a project to review and comment etc. is pretty cool.
What do you dislike about the product?
No downsides I've found yet. It does take a little time to get used to the "no boundaries" approach, and we haven't yet explored how to take the content off the board and re-embed it in project documents etc. but I'm confident I can figure that out. All in all, I'm very happy with it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
2020 has been a tough year for people like me. I LOVE to have my team in a conference room while we all scribble on whiteboards, post sticky notes as we do product release meetings etc. And that hasn't been possible. Zoom is the accepted format for keeping in touch, but I hadn't found a replacement for my whiteboard sessions until I tried LucidSpark. I am now using it for a variety of projects, one of them being the largest project we've ever undertaken. The ability to have a seemingly infinite workspace and be able to apply screen grabs from product concepts, add comments and sticky notes, invite both Lucid and non-Lucid subscribers to evaluate and comment has been fantastic. I'm wondering now if even after Covid we refactor our conference rooms, as this is more effective than they were!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
They have a nice "try before you buy" feature so you can evaluate before purchasing. The interface is pretty intuitive. The main advice I'd give is learn quickly the switch between "hand" and "pointer" (upper tool in left side tool-set). Once you master the switch from "grab the screen and move to navigate" and "select items on the screen to move around on the board" the rest of it becomes super-easy. And play with building collaboration teams on boards.
Great Whiteboard solution for remote collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
The unlimietd creative space and intuitive use amazes me. I use it for complex project management and design of cyklone.earth to design tidal power turbines as a CEO. I use it with a graphics monitor I can directly write and sketch on with a stylus, It easily allows me to integrate screenshots or pictures and use notes and stickers. The best feature is the integration with Lucidchart for more methodical graphical models in technical designs. This is were i get both of what I need to be 100% efficient working remote with all my teams during Covid-19 lockdowns.
What do you dislike about the product?
For an ad hoc presentation in a telco I need to use sth like Google meet to share my screen via link. This could be a bit more direct to share w/o customers needing to register or require workarounds. Next to a telco a large whiteboard is a bit heavy on the graphics sync and impacts even my fibre connection. This could be a bit more flexible with the bandwidth management how fast / seamless scrolling the whiteboard is. The shape library could pull more from Lucidshart as well. Many times I want to brainstorm and sketch what is later perfectioned in more formal documents. Also easy access to technical components, symbols and stickers, maybe even my own branded set of symbols would be a leap forward. I'm sure that Lucid will sooner than later extend this great whiteboard. For the moment it does delivered immediately the remote work whiteboard I needed due to Covid-19.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Main use case is collaborative technical sketches in daily engineering work. Secondary use is to brainstorm in meetings. Third use case is psychological. We looked for a tool to move away from PowerPoint slidument habits and increasing the level of awareness in online meetings. People started to mentally drop out on PowerPoints that look like their long term process documentation as boring and slow moving. We were decidedly looking for sth that is way more interactive to engage people in brainstorming and keep them from doing other tasks while watching prepared slideshows. We see a distinct advantage in preparing a shell with some preloaded pictures or notes and assemble, add and move items during the meeting. This enforces people to interact more with the presenter.
