August 27, 2024

4.0

I used it for online demonstration, to design devices for people with visual impairment, to organise brainstorming sessions.

Pros

The intuitive navigation, the integration of and within other software like video recording, export features.

Cons

Some basic templates are missing, like diagrams or grids.

### "Lucid spark review"

September 2, 2024

5.0

Really positive and has enabled me to work virtually more efficiently

Pros

The ease of interactivity and how it has everything you need in one whiteboard and the templates that can be used and amended to your needs

Cons

There's no simple cheat sheet for facilitators of the whiteboard to share with workshop attendees to have a quick lesson on how to use

5.0

Great, i enjoy that there is a free version.

Pros

Its very effective to share workflows in a business environment.

Cons

If too many characters are entered in a shape, the shape adjusts to fix the text. The other shapes do not adjust when this happens. I have to go back and match the shape sizes when this occurs.

Pros

Lucidspark was a great and amazing experience of mine it's really a helping tools in creating simple and good ideas.

### "In my opinion, Lucidspark is the best in class for whiteboard brain-storming"

May 3, 2024

4.0

I love it, The ability to communicate ideas on the whiteboard, blew me away when I first saw/used it.

Pros

I like most, the ease with which you can communicate ideas onto the whiteboard. No other product I'm aware of, makes it so easy.

Cons

The pricing packages offered, render Licidspark a rather costly option.

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

### "Great product with Jira and Microsoft Integrations"

April 1, 2023

5.0

This is a great product from visual design and can improve visualization of the product backlog while having automation of the Jira Integration that will save product leaders time in administrative work.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

### "Lucidspark - a window between worlds."

August 30, 2022

5.0

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.

### "Great for Catching Sparks (Ideas), But Not the Tool to Fuel a Bonfire. (Entire Project)"

June 21, 2022

4.0

In my opinion, the pros, and cons are pretty evenly balanced, making Lucidspark a no-go for me. At least it would have been for me had I been evaluating integration for the whole company. Fortunately, all I did was collect and tally votes, including my own "Maybe," in the engineering team opinion poll after trialing the product. While I occasionally still use Lucidspark, other programs remain my go-to.

Pros

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

Cons

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

Alternatives considered

[Miro](https://www.capterra.com/p/128955/Miro/)[Ziteboard](https://www.capterra.com/p/180379/Ziteboard/)

Reason for choosing 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.

### "Lucidspark - collaboration redefined"

September 29, 2022

5.0

Pros

The most impactful feature is the ability to collaborate virtually with the team and brainstorming or ideate. These can be categorized and allows practical execution and ability to prioritize tasks

Cons

There are no features that I've encountered yet which yielded a negative experience.

### "Great Visual Aid Tool To Use In Your Business"

September 27, 2021

5.0

As a Business & Marketing Coach it is crucial that I have strategic plans and steps for clients to go through and complete so they can reach their goals. Lucidspark helps me achieve this as well as helps me to continue to develop programs, webinars, courses and more for future revenue sources. I began using Lucidspark because I was introduced through Lucid Mindmapping (I was a paid subscriber to this). When they created their Lucidspark software they introduced to their audience. I was immediately taken in by it and loved it. Their post-it boards are customizable from templates to colors and more. I began using it even more than their mindmapping tool. This became my visual aid go to tool.

Pros

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

Cons

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

Me ha encantado su facilidad de uso, y la gran ayuda que ofrece, ahorrando tiempo y mejorando la productividad gracias a sus muchas y muy buenas herramientas y funciones incorporadas

Pros

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

Cons

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

### "Great software that keeps communication simple "

January 29, 2022

5.0

Amazing. Revolutionised the way I work with clients now in a daily basis.

Pros

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

Cons

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

### "Perfect tool for the (time-sensitive) job"

December 22, 2020

4.0

I was working of the early stages of a fast paced project which involved multiple stakeholders over several sites and a changing brief. It was perfect for creating a data flow diagram, an organisational structure and creating project-specific documents for client discussion and approval. I found the software to be very easy to use. I was up, running and familiar with all it's features within 3-4 minutes. Creating the initial document took less than 15 minutes and was ready to share electronically. Compared to the alternative software available to hand, it was fast, user-friendly and intuitive. Considering it was the first time I had used it and that it was browser-based, I was impressed.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Reason for choosing 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.

### "Must have for all Solopreneurs!"

December 14, 2020

5.0

I love the ease of use! I have previously featured Lucidspark as part of a 'Best Platforms' series I did on LinkedIn and I would add it a hundred times over :)

Pros

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!

Cons

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

### "Amazing for Collaborative Whiteboarding"

March 16, 2023

5.0

I really like the real-time collaboration feature which allows our remote teams to work together seamlessly and this ensures productivity.

Pros

Lucidspark allows us to use a variety of sketching tools to freely sketch, annotate, and draw on the virtual whiteboard.

Cons

Lucidspark has limited compatibility with some browsers and it affects the accessibility for some of my workmates.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

### "Getting familiarized"

December 16, 2020

4.0

I have used it lightly for documenting my thoughts but I have not given it too much use since I consider I wouldn't be able to use with my team at a higher scale.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

### "Excellent tool to go for across the other options"

May 31, 2021

5.0

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

[Visio](https://www.capterra.com/p/201133/Visio/)

### "Huge Upgrade from Viso"

June 28, 2021

5.0

Creating illustrations is a nearly daily part of our job and the ability to outline clear projections for our projects is foundational to our client experience and Lucid Charts allows us to convey that information clearly while also being very intuitive on the backend. Truly a win-win.

Pros

I haven't had to use Lucid Charts for long to know it was an upgrade from the Visio software we were using. Visio was clunky and difficult to move around and Lucid Charts is much more smooth and easier to work with. With Visio I had to save individual files and send them to coworkers for projects, but with Lucid Charts we are able to work simultaneously and know that we are working on the most up to date files.

Cons

I don't think I have been able to use the software long enough to determine if there are any elements I would change. I would love the ability to group charts into one file, but I imagine that is a solution that already exists and I simply have yet to learn.

### "Great software, but confused on why Lucidspark is separate from Lucidchart"

June 21, 2021

5.0

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

### "Great piece of software."

September 20, 2021

5.0

Pros

The software is easy to get up and running in, in no time. The software has a pretty deep selection of recognized icons for Cisco and other pieces of hardware. Easy export to several different formats.

Cons

Kind of old school, I like a local install. If for whatever reason my internet was down, I wouldn't be able to work on my items, unless I had exported to Visio.

Reason for choosing Lucidspark

We chose Lucidspark due to being able to collaborate and share workspace with the other techs working on our project.
