All the shapes and arrows snap together.

There was a limit on the number of shapes.

One of the best tools to create wireframes along with my team members for tech projects
What do you like best about the product?
The availability of a variety of tools/icons, even in the free version. Designing screens is very easy to learn on this platform. I was amazed at how easy it was to start working on a platform without having to go through an extensive training prior to starting! It has very user friendly tools as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not find any downsides other than the limitations on the free plan. But we understand that you cannot provide unlimited service for free to all your users, so that's not really a complain.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have to create wireframes or screen designs for our clients on behalf of our development team. We note all the requirements of the client and create wireframes to be given to the Development team for software development.
This task has been significantly easier for the whole BA team since we started using Lucidspark. The feature of being able to share the screen with our team members allows us to work on a project together from different locations, and was wonderful when we were working from home.
The clients were happy as well, as we put their visualisations on screen and they could ascertain if we understood their requirements correctly. Making edits and changes is easy as wel.

Must-Have Tool for Collaboration and Brainstorming
What do you like best about the product?
Many helpful features - especially for collaboration. The ability to easily assign colors to collaborators to differentiate source of contributions has been very handy.
A Lucidspark board has endless possibilities. You can have and use as much or as little space as you want. It is easy for me to do a brain dump - get all those ideas out on the board - and then it's easy to organize my thoughts with containers.

What do you dislike about the product?
The navigation of the tool is a bit clunky and may take some getting used to. Mainly the ability to zoom in and out was not as intuitive as other tools.
Also the ability to quickly create sticky notes and get thoughts out is a bit hidden. There's a way to do it but I needed someone to point it out to me where the feature was.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I mainly needed a space where I could dump my thoughts in various forms (text, pictures) and be able to organize them - work through problems and thoughts visually. Secondly, I needed that space to be collaborative. I need to easily share the space with others to get feedback and iterate.
The compatibility between Lucidspark and Lucidchart is also handy. Once we've brainstormed an idea, we can export to Lucidspark and polish up the content for presentation. I've been able to work through several ideas / problems with colleagues and inspire others to use similar methods for their own work.

Give it a try! It may take some time and effort to fully adopt the tool but it's worth it!
Great Online Platform
What do you like best about the product?
Is to quickly draw up flow charts and process flows. So fast it can be done during a meeting with out getting behind on any conversation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only downside I can say is the monthly fee required for more pieces in a document however this isn't a bad thing as every company has to make money somewhere. I think lucid chart is great and have used it for 5+ years
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Programming and creating a production process flow plan
Compatibility and a wide range of functionalities
What do you like best about the product?
I like most the possibility of integration results from Lucidchart and reverse.
So we can analyze and visualize in a more sophisticated way. That means in meetings and workshops we don't only work with dumbly integrated pictures from data bases. We use the data from different tables for conditional formattings and charts we want to work with.

What do you dislike about the product?
I miss a framing for different content on a canvas.
This frames can be used in a presentation mode or for structuring the content for an export in an automated way as well.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Among others we use Lucidspark to draw templates in an artificial way and use this as background for our charts in Lucidchart.
In digital meetings or workshops everyone is able to put their thoughts on a canvas and can work together or parallelly in a "big" room.
There is no one wasted for taking notes anymore.
And we save time in post-processing for editing the thoughts to a presentable result.

If you are indecisive then contact Lucid and the outstanding customer support surely may help you.
Look for the wide range of functunailites you can use with Lucid we haven't found in portfolio of a competitor.
And we've also got a very smart, nice and individual offer for using both tools in combination appropriate to our recent and coming use cases.

I find it very practical for brainstorming exercises.
What do you like best about the product?
the practicality for collaborating, the templates used for the exercises
What do you dislike about the product?
that it does not have tabs to do more than one exercise, that it is managed as a separate license from Lucidchart
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
templates for collaboration are much more practical
Great features once you can find them
What do you like best about the product?
I like that LucidChart has a wide variety of shapes and templates to start drawing process flows. There is no other competitor that offers the same degree of customization. I also like that sharing is easy, and I can get a shareable URL for view-only or edit privileges, with the added security of limiting to a certain professional group. I like that, once you get the hang of the features, it's fairly easy to connect shapes with various lines and arrows. There's a good number of straightforward yet customizable connectors, which are some of the most important features for my team as we devise simultaneous process flows. I also like that changes are automatically saved so I can work without worrying about manually saving. The export feature and the multitude of file types for export is incredibly handy, too.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that the learning curve is pretty steep. While the various features, shapes, and connectors are nice once you've figured out the basics, there's an overwhelming number of options that may be difficult to navigate for a novice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's so much easier to share team-wide process charts with LucidChart's link sharing as well as the ability to add users to an entire folder. LucidChart is also much easier to use than Visio, from my experience, because the browser application offers full functionality, whereas Visio's browser app, which is the only version available for macOS, has incredibly limited and functional design. LucidChart has also made it so much easier to draw complex, multi-swimlane diagrams because of how easy it is to zoom in and out and track more than one component at a time. There are handy defaults and templates to start from, too.
