Helps untangle messy communication in projects
What do you like best about the product?
We have really changed on how we brainstorm in our product team at Lucid. Instead of whiteboards of dirty white taped down messy whiteboards and scattering up and down post its Lucid gives us the ability to shape ideas and get everyone involved. That means that people who tend to sit hunched in a corner are more likely to contribute. That change in group dynamics has helped improve our early stage ideas and decreased misunderstandings as we go into development.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only version control is something that doesn’t work too well. If someone makes a mistake editing a diagram and it takes other people to keep the diagram in order, there isn’t a simple way to go back to the cleaner version. This has caused confusion more than one time and in particular, during times when we’re rushing to finalize a plan. It turned out to be quicker to rebuild diagrams from scratch than trying to fix a messy one.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For explaining abstract ideas to stakeholders, Lucid helps a lot. Instead of explaining for days, we just put out visual boards of what we are working on step by step. It has made it faster to approve things and helps focus feedback in. And that has fundamentally changed what has been game changers in our marketing campaigns, where, the timelines are tight and you need to get buy in quickly.

Intuitive to start using

The controls are intuitive. As soon as I signed up and start using I was able to navigate myself and started drawing. I use it to draw architecture diagrams, especially AWS architecture diagrams. I have also started using it to draw mindmaps.

To get the most out of the product I wish there were proper training courses. The courses I have watched are not good. There should be a course on how to jump into making architecture diagrams

The diagrams are easy to create and look and feel of the diagrams are visually appealing.

Great toolset

I really appreciate the comprehensive symbol library and intuitive controls. Outlining high-level workflows with strong visuals is really valuable, especially when they can be shared so easily with my teammates.
What do you dislike about the product?
The templates are really useful but sometimes all of the functionality is a bit overwhelming. It would be great if the UX could identify what I was trying to do and make valuable suggestions. I get the sense that this tool is very powerful and I am only scratching the surface. It would be great if I had some pointers to elevate my skills.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the Technical Support department there is a need to visualize our knowledge base at a high level. Using Lucid helps our team do this. By visualizing knowledge-base article coverage we can more easily identify gaps and knowledge domains for easier management.
