Super easy to use and implement your design ideas
What do you like best about the product?
I mostly use Lucidchart and haven't got a good chance to use Lucidspark. This was my first time building a complicated design. However, I easily got used to Lucidchart and its UI. There are hundreds of shapes and containers you can use from, they have a search option which can be utilized to find shapes and other things. They also have prebuilt design templates, these are very useful because you don't have to start from scratch. They also provide short descriptions on what does the shapes and other features mean. You can build any kind of complicated design using Lucid. I have used other similar products but didn't like them much because drawing boxes, lines and adding text were painful and not easy to use like Lucid. I also liked that it automatically saved my edits every time I made a change and can share/collaborate with others on my team.
All in all, it was super easy to use and I would definitely utilize it to build my future designs

What do you dislike about the product?
The subscription cost can be high compared to other products. The free version is restrictive and only allows a limited number of edits. Lower-tier plans restrict the number of collaborators. Everything is cloud based, so offline functionality is minimal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used Lucid to build a project design which is estimated to be of around 700 hours.
Easy ERD Visualization
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about the Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite is that I can easily customize the colors and shapes of different aspects of my ERD model and keep it looking cohesive.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that there was a way to add labels to the relationships of an ERD model as a learning tool. Those crows feet tend to get a bit confusing when you first interact with them!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The fact that multiple users can contribute to creating and editing a model remotely has been really nice for my online courses. It gives me the opportunity to complete group projects in my online courses.
A Novice Lucid User with an Education Background
What do you like best about the product?
Colleagues can be working at the same time, it's user friendly, the images are easy to read and follow, there are a ton of options
What do you dislike about the product?
There's a lot to learn and there isn't an AI feature yet that allows you to find quick solutions for what you are trying to make- that would be amazing!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It gives our team a way to brainstorm visually with quickly-created diagrams that everyone can contribute to. It also allows me to break down complex concepts and processes for our school clients to give them an easy-to-read and easy-to-follow road map when using different features of our program.
Network diagrams made easy
What do you like best about the product?
As a network engineer, creating network diagrams in Lucid is easier than before. Imports and exports from other software works great.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have only had one issue with a PNG export so far but support was very quick to act upon a fix.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's simple to line up and create diagrams with connecting branches. Our imports from a 3rd party software work great so we can edit the network diagrams further.
Integration with other software
What do you like best about the product?
The way we create the diagrams and flow and Maps is really good. I'm new to the platform but I'm not faced any hardness on this platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
I tried to integration with PowerBI. To create Visual Stream Map I tried but I'm not able to do it. My suggestion is to do this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As of now, I'm not looking into it.
Great Software
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to quickly update or change a flowchart, VSM, MIFC, etc. is a huge plus. It makes it so much faster and easier to put everything together
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the mobile app was a little more stable. I use an IPad Pro and sometimes when I'm trying to select a new tool or shape, it will start panning my screen, and then I have to move it back over.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Accessibility to process understanding at a high level
A well-made application.
What do you like best about the product?
Strong collaborative app which is cloud based and easy to access and present ideas to others. Its easy to navigate and generally well organised with some good templates.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice if the web-based app had an offline version to it so I could update pieces whilst on my laptop/iPad is not connected online.
Alternatively the large Youtube library could be embedded into the app better to save us splitting screens etc,

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visualise processes, highlight inefficiencies and collaborate on pages with multiple others.
Great tool to visualise a Database
What do you like best about the product?
For me it's the ease of use of the tool and also how dynamic it is. It serves multiple purposes and allows you to create a visual map of things that are harder to articulate with words. I first started using it for the ERDs - I had started a new role at Joe Browns and needed a visual to help me and other colleagues understand how tables are linked in the database
What do you dislike about the product?
The only slight dislike is it can be a bit fiddly in terms of formatting things as you want them but that's me being critical
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing a visual explanation to a common business question or problem. For example I've built a flow chart to help me better visual to my colleagues how we define a customer internally as there are a lot of rules that make explaining this through words more difficult
Best Visual Collaboration App
What do you like best about the product?
The platform offers a seamless user experience, facilitating easy creation, sharing, and collaboration with my team. It integrates seamlessly with other applications such as Confluence, simplifying the creation and maintenance of documentation. The user-friendly editing tools, along with their comprehensive features and intuitive interface, enhance productivity. Additionally, the comprehensive documentation and user manual provide valuable guidance. This platform has significantly contributed to my team’s efficiency, reducing the time and effort required to maintain various documentation and solution design documents.
What do you dislike about the product?
The conversion tools for documents from our old application require enhancement, as they occasionally fail to replicate the documents accurately.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Lucid Suite facilitates the management of documents by establishing connections between diagrams and various documents. Consequently, time is saved by simply updating the linked diagram for all documents that utilize it.
Easy to use product
What do you like best about the product?
Easy straight to the point usage of program
What do you dislike about the product?
I had to get use to display and zooming. Took me a minute to figure out how to save in format I wanted
