Very intuitive and user friendly!
What do you like best about the product?
The user experience is really pleasant, and the system is stable. I like how quick I can create diagrams with Lucidspark, and how great they look! The great number of shapes available is certainly a plus. I am a big fan of all the download options (in terms of formats available). The fact that the drawing board automatically extends is also great, especially when you compare with what happens when using other software. Honestly there's so many options that I couldn't explore them all yet! For example, the sharing options are great (and they even include an "embed feature"), but I haven't had the opportunity to use them yet.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the individual subscription a little expensive. I'd also like more options in terms of fonts, but the ones I see might be limited as I am currently using the free version of the software. Sometimes, the text doesn't quite fit into the shapes and the options to improve how it looks are limited, except from increasing the size of the shape. Increased options/controls regarding the format of the shapes and of the text inside them would be really useful.
Apart from that, all is great!
Apart from that, all is great!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I tested it for online meetings interactivity as well as to build diagrams. In particular, I was able to build a couple of PFD diagrams in just a few minutes - that would have taken me hours with another piece of software! I am amazed at how Lucidspark allows the quick creation of visualizations.
Helpful tool while working from home
What do you like best about the product?
It's great to be able to see live adjustments and comments while working with colleagues, especially during brainstorm sessions. The fact that this tool is available as in-browser was very helpful for a quick, last-minute organized session with our team. Everyone was able to join and figure the tool out right away.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since my team and I only started using this tool very recently, we did not run into any downsides yet. Perhaps the 25mb storage that is available being a 'free' user and the limited options for teamwork? An upgrade is easy and possible, but might not fit into the budget.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Online brainstorm sessions are made easy with this tool - I prefer this over calls via Zoom/Teams with live screen sharing. We figured it brought more creative input to our sessions, compared to other options while working from home. This tool makes it easy for all invited colleagues to give input and think along, which is not always the case with our previous options (screenshare, zoom, teams, online documents etc).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just give it a try, especially when you're looking for a (free) tool to boost creative input of multiple colleagues during a brainstorm session. Even the free version offers different convenient options to your benefits and from our experience, most team members were able to log-in, join and get to work right away. We have also used this alongside Zoom/Teams calls.
Fantastic Software for Diagrams!

Recommendations to others considering the product:
none
Easy and intuitive, but potential for integration has limits
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to achieve a functional understanding in a single session.
What do you dislike about the product?
Attempting to integrate what I created into a shareable format that retains image integrity. This is more a casualty of not having established collaboration practices rather than a failure by Lucidchart.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mapping process and flow within my company
Helpful tool for virtual whiteboards during Covid

Ability for team to collaborate virtually when working from home during Covid. Great tool that's really helped our team

Some tools are difficult to understand at first eg dragging and dropping content within boxes etc

Workshops and sprints virtually during Covid and working remotely.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There's great videos on YouTube
Excellent program
What do you like best about the product?
The amount of templates available, ease of use and ability to share.
What do you dislike about the product?
As a new user It's a bit of a challenging process. There are many tools and tips so this isn't a dig on the program, just a lack of understanding on my part. As I become more familiar it becomes a lot easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are creating a new computer program to be used by our organization. The flow charts have been amazing in documenting our process flows and creating our user stories.
Lucidspark review
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to help students organize their ideas visually. My students are building virtual flowcharts for work plans for their graduate projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
It requires a bit of a learning curve, and that comments aren't available for free. Also the verification process to get an account took a little while, and some students were not able to get into the collaborative whiteboard immediately, some not at all (though I will admit this is the case with ANY virtual platform when working with high-schoolers).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Students need to create flowcharts for their graduation projects, and it is nice to have them conceptualize in a tool like Lucidspark.In the past, they would create a simple table in word with the months and with the actions they would take during that month. They were not dynamic, inspiring, or interesting. The flowchart inherently gives a flow to the work that they will do, and making the sequence visual like that is a great help to the teachers reviewing the process.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be creative and open to using Lucidspark in COLLABORATION with students, not as a place for you to be the center. It can be intimidating and even worrying to allow students the freedom to post, especially anonymously or semi-anonymously. But that should not dissuade you from having a good time and allow students to express themselves openly and freely.
An extremely useful tool for work
What do you like best about the product?
The possibility to organize ideas in a clearly way, the possibility to add special information such as internet link or label and then to be able to export your document as pdf for example
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that the link for the label doesn't always appeared when you export your work as pdf
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can add every information I get related to my work and organize it, wich is useful to sum it up later very quickly
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Bmi don't really have any advice, everything is really well explained
Great way to document and keep track of ideas during a conversation without being too restrictive.
What do you like best about the product?
I like to the ability to create flow charts that outline processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
When beginning to use Lucidspark, it can be challenging to remember all the features and is not always intuitive in how to operate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Lucidspark to have conversations with clients around their goals and map out ways to achieve their goals. The flexibility is extremely helpful exspecially when working via video conference.
Lucidspark makes sharing ideas and workflows EASY!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the fact that we can share workflows for our content development. It makes our ideas visual and we can brainstorm in a more productive way.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, I can't really think of anything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are building up our educational content for customers and there are a ton of projects going on. I love that we have a place to brainstorm and vote on ideas, use that function to reorganize ideas by theme and just see the big picture of our needs in an organized way.
