Lucidspark is a fantastic product
What do you like best about the product?
It is one of the most flexible and diversified diagrams drawing tools in the market. You can draw any mind map, flow chart, and any other diagram you can imagine. And there hundreds of templates you can select.
What do you dislike about the product?
The fees, can the fees structure be more flexible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visually demonstrate our thinking. Time efficiency to draw, and flexibility to draw in according to our requirements.
Easy to use and lots of tools!
What do you like best about the product?
Moving around the text blocks is simple and quick to do. It makes it easy to make neat designs and keep everything organized. Lucidspark saves time compared to spending hours on Microsoft Word trying to organize a proper image.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see words appear above icons when you hover it to see what the icon is for. Also, exporting to Microsoft Word required me to use the snipping tool and paste in the image. A better integration would be a huge plus. Other than those two issues, I found the website to be great and user friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I had to create a flow of activities for work. It was sloppy to do in a paragraph so I went looking for a website that would easily guide me through making a flow diagram. Lucidspark saved my reputation and time that would've been spent organizing a sloppy process elsewhere. The benefits include coming off as someone who goes above and beyond for their work and taking the time to organize information in an easy to follow way. This is also quick to do, which is even better. Different shapes are provided for decisions, conclusions, etc. and colours of the lines, boxes, and backgrounds can all be altered to fit any need. You can set margin sizes to make sure exporting the file doesn't make sizing an issue. Grid lines are provided along with pop up measurement tools to make the diagrams symmetrical.
Powerful and straightforward to use
What do you like best about the product?
It took me just 20 minutes to get started. The UI is intuitive, controls are powerful enough. The template library helps a great deal.
What do you dislike about the product?
The integrated search never finds what you're looking for. Also quite hard to find components that are not shown for your template by default.The integrated search never finds what you're looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Documenting architecture of applications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Can't really advise anything.
Makes Life Easy
What do you like best about the product?
Lucid Charts and Lucid Documents are easy to use with no prior experience needed. I created a lucid document and a Lucid chart which was shared across the team to gain good feedback and appreciation.
What do you dislike about the product?
The screen panning can be made more easy with a shortcut combination of Shift+ mouse scroll or something like that. If it is something that is already there then I would suggest that those can be shown to users as apart of tips and tricks. That would be extremely useful for the end users
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wanted a complex flow chart which was impossible to create by just understanding the software applicatiob, but I was able to create a detailed flowchart which showed the flow of data from the the raw data sources to the hands of the end users who would use it for Development
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would suggest you get your hands dirty on working with the tool and in a couple of mins you are good to go in a fluent manner. I had no prior experience in handling a documentation tool but it did not take me long to start using the tool in a comfortable manner. Make sure you also create something collaborative or something that you would want to show others and the hover function of the mouse in the flowcharts are so easy to track and make the users understand the flow of data and the ideas. The comment section that is present can also be used for handy documentation.
Perfect app for middle/secondary/post secondary/work! LOVE IT SO MUCH!
What do you like best about the product?
Can't tell you how many times I've use this website for my highschool and university! It has be extremely helpful and so well maintained! Love it, amazing website and super helpful! Couldn't have possibly done my secondary and post secondary school without it!! It has helped me to be caught up in school so much as well as learn new skills and practice on my old ones learned in school! Most data visualization apps are paid, lucidsparks is one of the very few that is almost entirely free and that's amazing!! Students like me need more organizations that offer free service such as lucidsparks! Such an excellent platform and an idea literaly made for students and industry professionals! One of the top best websites or organizations I'd highly recommend to be the most helpful ones out there!!
What do you dislike about the product?
Absolutely nothing! Everything on this website is accessible, easy to use, and fun! With my 5 years of using this website I've never come across an issue. It has sone differences between the general diagrams and how you can draw them onto lucidsparks, however all is still acceptable! Other than that, lucidsparks customer service is undeniably amazing as well as all their services! I don't believe there's any dislikes i have about lucidsparks when it comes to comparing it with other websites! It's a perfect website for any type of organization or individual whether it's school work, a self project, or professional industry work! Their features to share or present data is amazing and one of the very best websites I've used! And trust me I've used a whole lot!! The only downside id think would be that you don't get the ability to download it as a file, however you can share it to other people via email addresses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Business Technology diagrams such as UML, ERD, CLASS, BPMN. Lucidsparks is free which is really helpful especially for students! It has the ability to be shared all around and even printed for projects! Lucidsparks not only provides templates for these solutions but also the ability to edit the templates, add features and change the sizes and colors to make it the way you need! I've used lucidsparks for my secondary school business classes. I majored in IT management in my university and used this website throughout my 5 years of studies! Creating UML diagrams, ERD models, Class diagrams, business process management diagrams and so much more!! Lucidsparks has helped me pass my schooling as well as saved a few hundred dollars compared to other data visualization apps!!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
USE IT. That's all. There are not many program softwares one can use for free especially as s student. Data visualization softwares sometimes cost 100s of dollars. The fact that you're getting one of the best websites out there to create your models for free. One should use it to their maximum abilities!!
Review
What do you like best about the product?
I like the sticky pads, easy to use and navigate, had the templates for personas and can adjust the bars.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't really think of any negatives, only used it once. I
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Help with storyboards with other teammates. I was solving issues that involved with making a persona for my User Interface class, had little knowledge on how to create one and it was my first time creating one. Played a bit with the settings and interface and just having the premade template really helped out a lot. Will definitely will be using it more now that I will be entering my Ui/UX field and creating boards and personas are something that is being used daily. Even if im not working with storyboards all the little widgets and gadgets in the site can help in other fields like development.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
its pretty easy to use, got on the program and was able to navigate through it pretty easy. The templates that they have really help me with understanding what personas are and what to put in my own sections. Had issues trying to make a persona on my own but with lucidspark I was able to quickly understand what my assignments for school wanted me to input. Overall is a very good program will definitely be using it more, recommended some of my team members in my class to sign up cause they also where having issues with what a persona was.
Comprehensive and versatile tool for communication and collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I can choose between a collaborative board, with limited functionality, or a full on chart to dig deep into a design
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like more tools in the collaborative board
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communicating and collaborating with my team
Amazing tool to design yout project process and technical designs and architecture
What do you like best about the product?
UI, and user-friendly interface, and a lot of options to choose from. It helped me to design a process model of a requirement that I had. The tool was user-friendly and very easy to use. Export and Import options are really cool to use. I was able to export in PDF format and many more export options were available. I also directly presented the process chart from the applications themselves. I like sharing and teamwork options. I was able to share the application with my team members and give me some feedback and comments. Everything was real-time, which I like the most with this application. Overall it's a tool that I can recommend to everyone who works on difficult process models and technical architect or solution architect roles. It would suit much better for the environment and company.
What do you dislike about the product?
All good. Add some integrations of other applications would be great. Everything is great. I really don't dislike anything about this tool. So I would say there are no features that I dislike with lucidpark. I would wish to get more applications and UIs integrated with this application to enable users to have information flowing down from other applications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Technical Architecture and Process model. I was able to easily design and execute the designs that I had in my mind. It is easy to design some complicated models, flowcharts, and process maps.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great platform. Use teamwork. It's quite an amazing feature
Useful for collaboration online
What do you like best about the product?
It helps our team to work at distance while we are unable to work in person. If it were not for a service such as this we would struggle to brainstorm ideas as we work to interpret data. Especially early on in the process when we would usually use a white board, now we use this service. I also appreciate how I am able to use different colors and shapes to describe the data. It is similar to how I use different colors of pens and paper to sort my ideas by hand.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes displaying data on a screen in a collaborative way is more difficult than working with a physical white board in person. In general, for me I am more of an in person, tactile worker, so using online platforms is generally not my preference. However, that said, a service such as this one helps to meet this need in some ways. That is to say, it imitates using a physical white board or pen and paper for brainstorming ideas.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have worked together to help code qualitative interviews. It helps to brainstorm the initial interpretation of data. Our team also uses it during virtual meetings to help sort the flow or concepts of the data we are working with. Or sometimes to help figure out the direction for a report or paper that we are planning. We also use it to figure out the direction of a program we are planning, the logic and steps involved with the planned program content.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a useful platform for helping teams to work together online. It helps to fill the gap that we experience from the remote working world.
Virtual Standup Board Adds Value for Remote Work
What do you like best about the product?
Love the ease of use, simple interface and flexible options for creating boards to meet different business unit needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing at all at this time based on my experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a virtual board to monitor projects managed by various team members and can organize work in the various pipeline stages. This supports a twice weekly virtual standup with other company team members. It helps to enable collaboration, aligning priorities and transparency on backlog items.
