straightforward visual mapping
What do you like best about the product?
I have used the grid option most thus far: I appreciate how the grid option predicts which shapes I'm likely to use / anticipates the connectors between them. The "infinite" sheet option is also bomb.
The mapping as a whole makes me feel super smart, but most importantly there are many subtle ways to add depth.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the shortcuts aren't intuitive for me yet (ex: it took me a while to understand how to click a link in a map).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team is learning how to see overlap between math, ela, and social emotional core standards in US schools. By using Lucid maps we can see how standards flow (non)linearly, concurrently, and how certain categories build
upon each other over time.

If you love post-it notes!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I can have post-it notes without having them all over my desk!
What do you dislike about the product?
I've found some things are difficult to undo and have to restart, which is not fun.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
See above for problems. The benefits are that I'm more organized and my desk is not as messy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try, especially if you love post-it notes!
Strong Platform with Some Kinks
What do you like best about the product?
It's extremely easy to make robust, clear charts and transport them between a spreadsheet and a graphical form, a must for manipulating large amounts of data. Lucid Chart's templates are also useful for jumpstarting projects. Oftentimes during the scoping phase of a project, I would struggle with how to organize the project. However, the templates made this much easier. Lucid's ability to create custom templates allows for easy replicability of projects across teams. Lucid Chart is also a great tool for collaboration. It is exceptionally easy for multiple team members to use it simultaneously which allows for direct collaboration during a meeting, a must for remote work. Lastly, Lucid's integrations across platforms is a tool that I hadn't even realized I wanted. Importing data directly for Google Sheets and Microsoft Office Suite online is exceptionally helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the additions you make to charts are purely cosmetic and aren't logged as a data item, so it can be challenging to sort charts at times. It can also be challenging to manipulate multiple line items of a data set at a time (e.g. if you want to add a team member's department on the org chart and then sort by those departments, it isn't easy to do this en masse.). Sometimes when exporting data, Lucid will have its own conventions for logging records and relationships within a chart that aren't logical or easy to understand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lucid Chart has been essential for the creation of an org chart for the rapidly growing start up where I work. It has given myself and my team members clarity of mind as we project how the organization will grow.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a very strong platform, but I would recommend reading the documentation in full before attempting even smaller projects.
Great for projects!
What do you like best about the product?
Many different options for projects - flow charts, free-hand, images, text, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
The screen is a bit hard to move around at first, but you get used to it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used it for a remodeling project and it helped to plan out each section.
Flow chart for new venture
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to collaborate and the intuitive way the solution works
What do you dislike about the product?
They could make it easier to add an event to a flow chart. Sometimes it is hard to bring up the next shape. Also, I bought the service as an individual and thought that having to pay additional for adding simple functionality is poor.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
helpful in getting all my team on the same page and getting their involvement in the process
An effective tool for process mapping and process streamlining
What do you like best about the product?
The templates are pretty good; explanation of flow chart icons gives meaning to the symbol
What do you dislike about the product?
It can get confusing sometimes, especially with so many options
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are mapping our processes and using Lucidchart to create flowcharts to understand where we can improve.
Like to use it.
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy and user friendly this software is to use, and how the document auto-expands as my thoughts do. I love flowcharts, and LucidSpark has definitely contributed to this love.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only issue I found was no in regards to the software. More to do with the password reset option.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I love the ease of use! I have previously featured Lucidspark as part of a 'Best Platforms' series I did on LinkedIn and I would add it a hundred times over :)
Clear formats, strategies, and flows created
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidspark has a user-friendly and intuitive user experience when creating flows and diagrams. This allows for clear and structured flows to be positioned and created on a page without the hassle of finding the right ways of presenting the information.
What do you dislike about the product?
Visually, Lucidspark could be updated to look a bit cleaner and updated. Although the tools are super user-friendly to make the perfect content easily, the UX design looks a bit outdated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lucidspark allows me to create clear flows of complex software systems. I am able to explain a complex process in a clear way, making sure I have never left any steps out.
App is easy to use. Very user-friendly, with functionalities that helps on the artistic side.

The flexibility of sharing the document like in google drive. It makes collaboration easier.

Sometimes needed to Zoom out a lot to see the bigger picture, but then the words were too small to read

Brain-storming mainly
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is worth having one 'super-user' in the group you are working with to share hints and tips on how to use the software effectively
