Lucidspark

Avantages

Lucidspark is super easy to implement for all members of the team. Easy drag and drop placement of items and jobs and easy colour coding and brainstorming. Sharing with colleges is a breeze as well:)

Inconvénients

Automatically change the copy and paste of a text to the font that is already being used in the box.

Avantages

Lucidspark templates have changed the game for me when compared with other open-source alternatives like Draw.io and swimlanes.io. It saves time and energy. My team and I are able to brainstorm rapidly.

Inconvénients

Sometimes it's a struggle to navigate the entire page. The text is too small and alignment is missing. I land up copy pasting the previous elements (templates) to make it work.

Avantages

Die Software ist einfach und intuitiv zu bedienen, man kann gute Echtzeitdaten teilen und damit perfekt im Team arbeiten

Inconvénients

Das Berechtigungsmanagent ist etwas schwierig, teils muss die Freigabe mehrfach auf verschiedene Weise erfolgen.

Avantages

Lucidspark has been great for team collaboration and brainstorming.

Inconvénients

Can feel a bit overwhelming for first-time users due to the number of features.

Avantages

Lucidspark vanta un'interfaccia pulita e facile da usare. La creazione di lavagne digitali, l'aggiunta di elementi, come testi, immagini e forme, e la collaborazione in tempo reale sono estremamente intuitivi, anche per i principianti.

Inconvénients

Lucidspark offre una vasta gamma di strumenti di creatività, come penne, pennarelli, forme e linee, che consentono di creare diagrammi, mappe concettuali e prototipi con grande precisione e creatività.Questa piattaforma non lascia niente al caso, non mi ha dato nessun problema è ideale per la creazione di collaborazioni visive.

Avantages

The fact that you are free to do a lot of things, to express your ideas and help you with templates

Inconvénients

probably it is less intuitive sometimes, I had moments when I searched a little bit for what I was looking for

Avantages

The ease of Development and the main reason that we use this is as part of our development is to track the project status.

Inconvénients

We can improve the functions which we use to create a workflow and all, and can also include more icons to make a better UI

Avantages

I love the collaborative aspect of the tool, being able to follow others and all work simultaneously on one sheet and not have to save and wait to see updates others have made, it's a game changer, also lots of extra functionality that makes it incredibly useful for presentations...etc.

Inconvénients

I think it's a bit tricky to learn how to use to start, there is SO much functionality it can be a bit overwhelming, I also think it can get a bit silly on the chats and team messaging stuff.

Avantages

Un buen software para plasmar mis ideas y embudos o funnels de conversión en la herramienta tipo mapa mental pero más visual, de hecho todo lo visual que tu quieras.

Inconvénients

Quizás lo que menos me ha gustado ha sido a la hora de la instalación, algo engorrosa.

Avantages

Lucidspark,,, it is easy to use and simple manner.

Inconvénients

Some features are missing. So need to aware about this.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

Me ha encantado su enorme facilidad de uso, así como su enorme gama de herramientas y funciones, todas ellas muy prácticas y que suponen una gran ayuda

Inconvénients

A mejorar algunas limitaciones en cuanto a opciones de personalización, y algunas dificultades para la gestión de grandes pizarras, aunque sin duda no desmerecen el gran trabajo hecho en esta herramienta

Avantages

Me ha sido muy útil al momento de elaborar mapas mentales, lluvias de ideas, diagramas entidad relación y demás.

Inconvénients

Fue algo tedioso su instalación pero funciona de maravilla.

Avantages

Very easy to get going. Everything is more or less drag and drop. If you need to add text, you can simply click into an object and start typing. Really impressed with how easy this is to use.

Inconvénients

There seems to be a short bit of lag with the drawing tool. This may be down to my internet connection but I'm not sure

Avantages

The Jira integration helps my team see the product backlog while the integration prevents a product leader from doing redundant work by having to add cards in two sets of software.

Inconvénients

The one opportunity for this software is the navigation in the vertical and horizontal axis. There is a tab on the left hand side that lets the user switch between the functionality of grabbing an object and scrolling in the diagram. This can be frustrating for first time users. My recommendation to Lucid is to make the navigation more like Lucidchart by combining that functionality.

Avantages

I really liked how simple it is to start using Lucidspark

Inconvénients

Nothing to dislike its a great platform!

Avantages

Es un excelente programa colaborativo para compartir ideas y planificar.

Inconvénients

Todo me gusta de este aplicativo, es muy bueno.

Avantages

Lucidspark is really good for whiteboarding and is really easy to use interface. For real time collaboration I think lucidspark is powerful too.

Inconvénients

Limited free tier version. And for some features we need to learn and dig deep to understand them properly.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

The virtual whiteboard, idea collection and organization, and remote-first approach are among Lucidspark's top attributes.

Inconvénients

Onboarding/learning to use the software effectively and efficiently was a bit of a challenge, and without prior Lucidchart experience might be a dealbreaker.

Pourquoi passer à Lucidspark

Ultimately, we chose not to switch to Lucidspark and continued using Invision Freehand as our primary shared whiteboarding software. Some improvements have also been made to Microsoft Whiteboard recently. Although it currently lacks the feature to be a viable contender in the space, it shows potential promise for the future.

Avantages

Lucidspark is the best whiteboard linked to the cloud, where we can easily access it and also the user interface is easy to understand, where we can find all the tools we need effortlessly. I really appreciate the huge capabilities that Lucidspark provides us with, which makes collaborating with the rest of the team on preparing workflow diagrams as well as collecting ideas very enjoyable. I like very much using shapes, adding texts and images, coordinating them, and also adding certain colors to them so that they indicate either suggested modifications or additions and notes that you have included on the original form. I very much appreciate the sharing capabilities of the proposed models, as there are many options, which eliminates the need for us to use auxiliary programs for that. Also, the ready-made models help us a lot and give us a lot of ideas that help us quickly implement the schemes that we need.

Inconvénients

I didn't find anything to dislike about Lucidspark, as it's intuitive and easy to use for everyone with different occupations, and I find it very responsive compared to other similar apps.

Avantages

Ease of use, well designed and implemented to be use within your team but also to connect different teams

Inconvénients

I find the tool complete and so far I couldn't find any disadvantage

Avantages

I love how easy it is to use. You can jump right in and begin without needing training.

Inconvénients

The one con would probably be cost, although fair it not affordable for many micro businesses.

Pourquoi choisir Lucidspark 

I like the post-it boards to plan out steps for programs I offer.

Pourquoi passer à Lucidspark

Currently using both

Avantages

Easy to use and get clients using it with me. It’s the perfect tool for remote collaboration.

Inconvénients

File organisation can be a little tricky and I’m not always sure which files are shared and which are private.

Avantages

The fact that it is so quick and easy to use. That it is user-friendly enough with features such as snapping to shapes and arrows staying attached to the shapes is helpful.
Quickly saving out as PDFs and sharing with colleagues and clients is brilliant.
There are enough templates to find what I was looking for.
It's quicker than setting something up with Illustrator or MS word, powerpoint etc.
1Gb storage is helpful.

Inconvénients

Because I've only scratched the surface with its use, I haven't had the opportunity to really push it's functionality enough to comment on this area yet. I would probably say theft that it's browser based because it would be great to have it as an app on my computer. I'm not often likely to use other computers and having yet another browser window open is a bit of a pain.

Pourquoi passer à Lucidspark

The cost per month was low enough for me to try it for what I needed and there was a free trial period. It looked easy enough to use and seemed to be designed for creating flowcharts and the like.

Avantages

I am an operations consultant so I spend a lot of time thinking about, creating and documenting efficient processes for my clients. Lucidspark makes it possible to clearly map out the customer journey and contextualize their systems design. If a picture is worth a thousand word, a Lucidspark flowchart is worth two thousand! There is no better way to demonstrate how you can bring value to the most important stakeholders for your business- your amazing customers!

Inconvénients

When you are on the free trial, you can only retain/update 3 documents at a time.

Visio

Pourquoi choisir Lucidspark 

I hated how boring and clunky draw.io appears. The drag/drop functionality was not great and the customization options were non-existent. Even the free version of Lucidspark was MILES better!

Pourquoi passer à Lucidspark

Balance of price point versus available features. This ticked all the boxes!

Avantages

Most impactful features would be the remote collaboration benefit of Lucidspark and the integration with tools like Slack and Microsoft Teams.

Inconvénients

There is a steep learning curve if you haven't used any of such tools before. So usually we give our staff a little tutorial before they use it.

Avantages

I just started using it to have a place to document my understandings about a project I'm just starting to work with. I think it's very easy to understand, has all of the nice things I like about Lucidchart and I briefly tried to find ways to make it work during my Scrum meetings.

Inconvénients

I could have not really grasped the price structure but at a high level it looked pretty expensive to me. I have a personal membership for Lucidchart that I use for my professional work and I don't mind paying for it. But from what I understood, Lucidspark would be far too expensive for me to get considering the size of my teams. Additionally I was not able to find any option within the tool that I could use to test the tool with a small crew or an option to use it with my whole team although with limited functionality.

Avantages

Till now whatever I have seen and presented using the Lucid, it always a great experience, in less time and effort, it delivers quality.

Inconvénients

As of now nothing is bad if you have a paid account else one will Not able to edit the shared files.

Avantages

Team collaboration in Lucidspark makes is extremely seamless. This tool is a must for enterprises and teams who would need collaboration across other members. The ability of the tool to operate through browser makes it very easy and intuitive to learn for the new team members. Lucidspark also comes with many pre-defined templates making the job easier for people who would work on multiple style of documents. Its ability to sync with Jira is also an important feature that I would recommend this tool for. All the teams who work on Jira can leverage Lucidspark to link their artefacts into the Jira issues/tasks, making the management of documents agile and simple.

Inconvénients

The design styling of the objects and auto-alignment features can be improved. Also, the presentation feature can be integrated with meeting notes in order to capture the ongoing workshop notes.

Avantages

A great tool to be able to brainstorm in a virtual environment! Everyone feels their opinions are heard when they visually see it on the Lucidspark page. Additionally, being able to share the document to co-workers is very valuable for preparation for a discussion session.

Inconvénients

How many accounts needed to collaborate can be tough. It would be great if we can have a LucidChart account be the host while giving guests access to anyone without them having to create an account. This way we can remain agile without a large number of unnecessary accounts being made.

Additionally, its a bit confusing on the different capabilities of the Lucidspark program and LucidChart, as it feel that both have strong brainstorming functions. Wish they were together in one package.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

For the first time in my life, I was able to collaborate with multiple stakeholders, all thanks to Lucid Spark. The drawing tools are impressively advanced, and the workspace is vey well organized

Inconvénients

As far as I have been using it, I don't recall ever having any problems with Lucidspark.

Avantages

It's quick and easy to build charts. The best software out there of its kind.

Inconvénients

Would be nice if it were cheaper like $5/month for individuals.

Avantages

Really intuitive and fairly full of features. It helps me from mind maps to website wireframes

Inconvénients

Not really, it does what it has to do in an easy way

Avantages

I like that is extremely easy to dive in and start using right away. It is very simple to find quick wins and 100s of ways to use the product. It's been a great tool for our team

Inconvénients

I don't have anything that is a deterrent for this product. It works well and is easy to use. I do notice that when I use it for client calls, we have others that seem to "look" better but that's not a make it or break it.

Avantages

The ease of use for the software makes any project a relaxing, focused use of time rather than struggling to organize everything well in advance.

Inconvénients

The options for templates seem a little limited right now.

Avantages

So easy to get started without any training. Very intuitive and the templates make it possible to produce something very professional looking and useful in a short space of time.
Loved seeing my ideas come to life in colour and being able to share them with my coach immediately for feedback. Fab piece of software - love it!

Inconvénients

Too early to say. Didn't like the arrows between the bubbles at first but then got the hang of that.

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

More pre-configured shapes would be great.

Avantages

User friendly, easy to use and less complex

Inconvénients

The shapes and design to follow a template for visibility always

Avantages

It's very easy to build flowcharts and process flows with this browser-based tool. I use it mostly for creating marketing automation workflows.

Inconvénients

The color coding process could be a bit clunky. Once you get the hang of it you're fine.

Avantages

The ease of use. There are variety of features to choose from. Legend and Symbol come with a mini display for its uses and function. And pieces by pieces were connected even if the component or the element that we input might not seem to feel right, the outcome of the whole process flow being put together makes the work look tidy and clean. Extremely satisfied but still not to the budget im hunting for.

Inconvénients

the price. I guess the price can be more of on a competitive range

Avantages

Easy to Use
Lot of feature to resolve my issue.

Inconvénients

I don't find any issue with product.
Recomond to my manager to use on organisation level.

Avantages

Lucidspark is easily the best whiteboarding solution out there. I regularly use the software to pump out and organize a mess of sticky notes, conduct brainstorming sessions, map out customer journeys, or collaborate strategically with a team on next quarter's goals.

Inconvénients

There isn't currently anything I dislike about this software.

Avantages

Lucid is an easy tool to use to quickly build robust process flows, and share them with other collaborators. The tool is mostly intuitive, and the help pages are useful to fill the gaps.

Inconvénients

The export feature takes a bit to get used to, and could have been a more guided experience.

Avantages

I have created a few diagrams and presentations with this software. They were very well received and look very professional. It's much easier to use than Visio. I appreciate the wide variety of templates. I purchased this software on my own dime because it's so helpful for me.

Inconvénients

I have no complaints. The software has been very helpful.

Avantages

It isn't Visio. It's refined, it's usable, and it's friendly.

Inconvénients

Likely lack of user knowledge, but I feel as though the ability to align objects and connectors in a logical manner could be improved.

Avantages

Ease of use, good UI. The page expansion and overall page view is pretty sweet.

Inconvénients

Some basic features, like having a line with no forced end-point shape, just a regular line, why isn't that line available, or is it me that doesn't know how to get a line.

Avantages

Easy intuitive UI, great features. Really has added an edge to client proposals

Inconvénients

Takes a couple of uses to get used to, there are a few idiosyncrasies to familiarize yourself with
