Collaborative Tool
What do you like best about the product?
So Many Options to choose from and wide variety of controls.
What do you dislike about the product?
Layout is a bit confusing. User Interface could be more interactive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data Modelling and Data flow diagrams
Really helped my team create the perfect mind map!
What do you like best about the product?
I like that we can ideate and create in real-time, and truly see how our ideas connect.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have yet to best figure out overlaying ideas to see how well they fit with each other. I'm unclear if this feature is actually offered.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working on a framework for a city-wide campaign. LucidSpark helps connect all the dots.
Great platform for mass collaboration and idea sketching
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to create, resize, connect ideas together and collaborate in real time really draws the line between using LucidSpark and other platforms such as Google Drawing. LucidSpark's fast server response times allow for quick collaboration. I also enjoy the fact that users export the resulting project as a pdf of vector image (no blurry objects). This allows for an expansive mindmap that is easily enjoyable by both users and also readers. My team and I also enjoy using LucidSpark's "snap on" features with certain objects as well as locking allowing for designing tasks to easily be overcome.
What do you dislike about the product?
LucidSpark does at time lag when big projects load, which is reasonable. However, to improve user experience with LucidSpark, this problem should be easily fixed. As a new user to LucidSpark, I would also value the ability to "rebind" my keys which allow me to adapt to the platform to much stronger degree since I am effectively "lowering" the skill curve needed to transition from another platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company values customer insights and the ability to mindmap them / organize them on a platform is extremely important to ensure that we maintain the standards and solve problems that clients are expecting. The ability to see real time and have all the different objects that you can create (sticky notes, arrows ... etc.), allows for many creative and insightful ways to organize the information to then further analyze and pull those insights. This adds much value to my company and a direct benefit that was derived from using LucidSpark.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely experiment around a bit before demonstrating it to your team. This will allow you to guide them to complete the tasks that you require of them. In doing so, you really are creating value through using the platform.
User friendly and professional presentation
What do you like best about the product?
I like all the fun, organized features to put your thoughts in order
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some limitations when using the free plan that I would love to try out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving a quick and easy way for my team of teachers to collaborate together. I have realized the benefit of sharing the same screen when in different locations.
Very nice tool for comp sci state diagram etc
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use and easy access. intuitive ui etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
The service is very nice however more templates could be used in order to help with quicker work completion especially in common cases such as different state diagrams
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easier program planning and higher quality execution. It actually makes planning software development easy
Great brainstorming tool - but LucidChart checks most of the boxes for me.
What do you like best about the product?
It's great for brainstorming sessions; the team collaboration works really well. I also like the infinite canvas. I like the tagging feature, which is one thing that I could NOT do in Lucidchart. I like that there are so many options for shapes and colors.
What do you dislike about the product?
Overall I feel that there's not a lot of value added if you already use Lucidchart, which seems to have more options and functionality. A few features that especially stand out here that I wish Lucidspark had...
- Needs more hotkeys for faster node creation (like the mind mapping feature in LucidChart)
- Reorganize by hierarchy
- Multiple pages
- Needs more hotkeys for faster node creation (like the mind mapping feature in LucidChart)
- Reorganize by hierarchy
- Multiple pages
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Great way to organize thoughts, brainstorm, think through problems. Some people think in excel sheets, some in paragraphs/prose, some in pictures. I personally think mind maps are the best way to corral scattered thoughts, jump around between ideas, and work on multiple problems at the same time. It's also a good way to represent that thinking for other people (especially if you reorganize it a little bit :)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I don't think it would be worth it to pay for subscriptions to BOTH Lucidchart and Lucidspark. I don't well enough understand the difference between the two, to be honest. It seems Lucidchart has almost everything I need, though the tagging & commenting features in Spark are especially nice for categorizing ideas and getting feedback.
The team collaboration and organization of the program reflected positively in my experience.
What do you like best about the product?
The team collaboration, organization, and assistance in displaying my project plans are good qualities in the program.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having to use a business email since small businesses just starting may not get the opportunity of Lucidspark. It’s hard to share photos on the website which would really help explain things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using it for projects when I work with my students or coworkers. Before, we had to communicate without being able to see what each other was talking about. This really helped me draw out any ideas I had and the other people could see it easily. This is really one of the greatest benefits.
Helpful collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite parts of Lucidspark are the templates and frameworks they provide to get brainstorming sessions started. They save so much time and allow us to stay focused on the task at hand, instead of getting bogged down creating structure.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike is the number of comparable options on the market. It seems everyone I work with has a different tool they want to use for the same collaborative purposes. So, we have little consistency and share-ability between us.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LucidSpark for mapping out strategic ideas for clients with other members of my creative team. The ability to jump right in and get to collaborating is a great benefit. Being able to export or share what we have created outside of Lucidspark is another valuable benefit because we are not usually collaborating with clients on these issues.
Lucidspark helped for my Data Modeling requirement
What do you like best about the product?
Flow chart, Picture Object and Web Based quick response
What do you dislike about the product?
For Data Model script generation feature and reverse engineering feature I guess not available for use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building Logical and Physical Data Model for new data store requirement
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good online tool very useful for Flow Chart, Data Modeling, Block Diagram and list go on...
Decent options in a competitive market
What do you like best about the product?
Integration options with other services and apps, and more export/import features than some competitors
What do you dislike about the product?
Seems that it's lacking in terms of matching services like Miro for overall use and features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's an overall company need for a solid whiteboarding solution
