Lucidspark - a window between worlds.

PROS

Lucidspark is easy for everyone to pick up, the best part about it is that I can have people in design sessions that and they can pick it up within 3 minutes. Its easy to use implement and get different departments together and give some visibility on projects.

CONS

I wish is had just a few more tools that are in offered in Lucidchart but that is why we have both I guess.

Best Whiteboarding Tool

I will be using LucidSpark as my online collaborative whiteboard from COVID-times and beyond!

PROS

Very easy to use, collaboration with others is easy - love the fact that it shows where participants cursors are.

CONS

More pre-configured shapes would be great.

Reasons for switching to Lucidspark

Whiteboard in Teams was very limited, buggy, messy.

Simple, Fun and Clean

Sharing notes and problem solving/brain storming with a dispersed team.

PROS

Clean and simple User interface, great tool for collaboration or just personal brainstorming. Very helpful as the team is all remote now and they need to see things. Templates make me look like a rock star.

CONS

Comments being a paid feature is limiting but I get it. I'd like more people in the company to embrace visual communications so we could better justify the cost.

Reason for choosing Lucidspark

Good promotion and clean UI

Reasons for switching to Lucidspark

Simplicity was less overwhelming to the team.

Fun, easy and effective to use for summarizing process and brainstorming

PROS

Really great tool to use for highlighting milestones and brainstorming in virtual meeting with large group. Had good feedback from the group that it was cool but also helped them see the big picture of process and steps we'd accomplished easily, etc.

CONS

I was limited by trial use only but found it a bit cumbersome to share and have other contribute - would have liked to have other contributors not have to login and register to work on a brainstorm -- just be able to add or move parts on the fly as needed in impromptu meeting.

Reason for choosing Lucidspark

Came across Lucidspark first and fit the need enough for us at this time.

Low-key replacement for post-it-notes and whiteboards

Lucidspark, like its sibling, Lucidchart, is intuitive and easy to use. You can get up to speed with using this software very quickly and with next to no training.

PROS

This software is amazing for aggregating information and ideas and cataloging them in a meaningful way. I love how you can connect similar ideas and information to see connections and relationships. This has been very useful for capturing the wisdom and experience of retiring employees so it can be conveyed to personnel coming up through the ranks. Being able to catalog their different responsibilities and connect them together allows us to present a holistic view of the program so that new employees can get up to speed faster. I also love how this software is browser based so that it can be used anywhere on any device. This frees up staff from having to be in the office or worrying if they have a company computer.

CONS

I would like to see a feature where you can attach documents to different sparks. It would be helpful to enrich different ideas and sticky notes with supporting documents.

Reason for choosing Lucidspark

I am a long time user of Lucidchart and I love that software. I decided to try Lucidspark after seeing a recommendation for it.

Great, friendly, easy to use tool!

My experience has been pretty positive. I haven't needed much support but when I do they are responsive. The system allows for some room to be creative and I like that I'm given that space to do that.

PROS

I really enjoy how Lucidspark is able to provide me with a way to visualize what we are working on. Whether in my previous role as a product manager or now as I process engineer my team at Mayo. I love how simple it is to make a simple or complex diagram to define, focus or clarify areas of our department that we are responsible for. My team can clearly see what's in front of them and better understand the project or process we are looking at.

CONS

Honestly, I don't have anything that I least like. I enjoy how you can use a template or start from scratch and create whatever you need. It's pretty flexible once you get the hang of it.

Reason for choosing Lucidspark

I chose Lucidspark because I had used it in my previous job and relied on it so much that I couldn't think of not using it here.

A great tool with great templatees

Very smooth and helpful.

PROS

Lucidspark is a great tool to use because of its great templates and its convenient, easy to use interface. The templates featured give a lot of detail and help a lot with knowing how to start your own projects. This especially makes it a great tool to use for brainstorming sessions.

CONS

It's a little difficult to share your project with coworkers outside lucid. Some more editable options for exporting would be nice.

Reasons for switching to Lucidspark

This interface was easier to get used to.

Visual Project Management

When I worked for a company big enough understand the ROI for a subscription it was my favorite work tool and helped me clearly and easily communicate project details and updates across my 53-person team instantly.

PROS

I loved that I could easily create boards to manage and update projects. I could share project updates with my team in real time without having to inundate them with emails that go unread. And I could receive feed back clearly and easily from key team members.

CONS

Cost. I have since changed companies and for a small business the ROI for an annual subscription is not something that I can sell to our decision makers.

Lucid Makes Organization Planning Easy

It's overall been very helpful.

PROS

I love how easy it is to make organizational charts and how that informs decisions.

CONS

While overall intuitive, it does take some time to figure out how to use. I wish that it would rollup other data like EBITDA, sales volume, etc. under each leader. For example, if a field says number of employees at a location, I would like to indicate that this field rolls up and have the total number of employees under a leader show in that leaders box.

The tool you need.

We use It often in meetings, to make fast and accurate changes to layouts, very understandable and visual for everyone. The meetings are quicker and deliverables are released directly after the meetings.

PROS

It is a multi functional tool that I and my organization use for mostly everything., like set up an organogram, draw layouts, etc.

CONS

you need to put some time into it to understand, not every employee is a quick learner.

Turning a vision into a reality

Lucid charts provide expert support, allowing me to focus on my expertise. I have 25 years in the digital industry and lucid charts is and will always be my go-to for bringing projects to life which keeps the revenue streams growing for me and my clients. For me, Lucid charts service and capabilities cannot be beaten. It is worth giving it a try.

PROS

the abilty to use the objects drag and drop feature and to be able to add text or edit as needed, made it possible to create a flow chart that was balanced for technical and non technial users.

CONS

To be honest, at this time, I would not change anything about the platform, it provided me with everything I needed and it did not require tutorials or the time that other platforms require to even get started.

Looking for an easy but powerful tool?

At first impression I was considering to look for any alternative but found this as the one that most fit my needs also is pretty easy in comparison with other platforms. You can have one free subscription to test for you and your team and if that get the job done consider about getting a subscription for real and big stacks of work that meets your needs.

PROS

You can use it to develop data flow diagrams very easy and is more likely to drag and drop. Also you can share easily enough your projects files and in the long run saves a lot of time for updating the current state of your development.

CONS

If you are in a big group you will need more space to work and way more files to successfully get a big scope along all your files and definitions. So if you are in a small group I would say that free version is fine otherwise buy a license because you will need one but is not as expensive as other platforms.

Vendor Response

Hey Erick - Thank you for being a customer and for leaving a product review. Glad you're liking the drag and drop and sharing functionalities. Have a great rest of your day/week! -Gabe
