Using Lucid Spark for Accelerator Design
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is intuitive and easy to use; I especially appreciate how easy it is to align blocks with other elements on the board. I especially liked how the arrows remain fixed when reformatting/moving sections of the diagram. The infinite canvas also made it convenient to edit.
Quick start/tutorial material also makes it easy to pick up how best to use the tools.
It was very easy to import/export/migrate the diagrams and data.

What do you dislike about the product?
While there is an extensive list of diagram templates, I would have liked some more computer engineering related components, such as an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) symbol.
When moving blocks around, the transition arrows would often not follow along cleanly. While they would still be attached, I would have to return and re-align the intermediate paths again to ensure they did not overlap.
When transition arrows cross over each other, it would be nice if it were clearer which arrow is which (perhaps an option to have one of the lines show a "hop" over the other?).
While working within a project was seamless, it could feel clunky working around the projects. For example, exporting images (for use in presentations/documents) and loading projects could sometimes feel very slow.
When working with text labels on transition arrows, I wish it was easier to set up templates or format all of them in bulk. I think if I had the ability to create even just three options, it would have really helped.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Explaining state transitions in a cache coherence protocol. This was previously done in a table, but a visual flowchart was much clearer for others to understand.
I also used Lucidspark to illustrate the design of a machine learning accelerator (at a high level), with a focus on the data flow through the hardware.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to familiarize yourself with the new features; the online instructional material is excellent.

Nothing yet. i have had a great experience with it so far
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
benefits are that our team has a place to throw ideas and we can keep up with peoples ideas and everyone can see it. but we dont use it anymore was great when we di
Essay and intuitive to use. Very useful for collaborative diagrams development
What do you like best about the product?
Live collaboration and intuitiveness......
What do you dislike about the product?
Mobile application limitations..........
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used it for a course workgroup task related to diagrams production allowing for the collaboration of people across organizations and continents, expediting and simplifying a proceeds that otherwise would had to rely on back and forward emails
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very useful, try it you will see how good it is.
Really easy to use and really helpful to explain examples
What do you like best about the product?
That it was used collectively by the team at the same time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Had to scroll across the screen to see the full picture.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using it as part of creating a marketing strategy for our company while working with the agency based in another city.
Easy to use, convenient to share
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart lets you design attractive, non-standard graphics that are easily understood by a wide range of businesses. Interaction with the product is fluid, images find their use in presentations, and data integrity is maintained when exporting to colleagues using Visio, Word, and Adobe Photoshop, and especially when saving.
What do you dislike about the product?
We often get annoyed with the UI, although sometimes it doesn't waste much space. For people like me who use tablets and laptops, it can be a giant to use the extra screen space.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A wireframe is critical for all developers as it illustrates the business goals and constraints during development. When it comes to wireframes, I rely on Lucidchart, it's always been my first choice.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You can try Lucidchart now with a free plan.
Good templates with clear visualization
What do you like best about the product?
The capacity of drawing different types of graphs
What do you dislike about the product?
The size of some shape cannot be automatically aligned to the background lines
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Flow charts
Fantastic product, easy to use.
What do you like best about the product?
Collaboration is very easy. When running client workshops online, it's very easy to share a link with workshop participants and get them to join in and collaborate.
What do you dislike about the product?
No inbuilt icon library. When creating diagrams, I often have to search for Icons from google and insert it into Lucidspark. Would be much easier if I didn't have to leave the app for this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Running online workshops have been a challenge without an effective collaboration tool, I have been trialling Lucidspark on one of my current projects and has help with collaboration enormously.
Lucidspark review
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidspark is a simple but helpful tool to replace whiteboards and build out idea requirements and step by step work flows in a group environment. I found the containers and templates useful and self-explanatory. The best part of the product was that it does exactly what it advertises and does it simply and well.
What do you dislike about the product?
It might be helpful to have the ability to lock certain sections when they are being worked on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to complete some valuable joint work while in a fully remote environment. I believe we will be able to continue to use the product even after returning to a largely in person environment as it will allow multiple users from different interfaces.
RECOMMEND Lucidspark to my collegues
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to draw sprint timelines and flowcharts. Very easy to understand from charts on project timelines alignment with sprint timelines
What do you dislike about the product?
Very difficult to find some features to draw flow charts
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To draw sprint timelines and user story building and story mapping
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Yes once I learn this product more, i would like to recommend to my collegues
Simple, powerful and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
I would say the flexibility is awesome, since you can do whatever you want. Notes, planning sessions, kanban boards, discovery meetings
What do you dislike about the product?
For me it can take some time to load, and there are other apps (like miro) that do load faster
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it mainly for meeting notes and it’s really cool to use it as a collaborative tool
