Was skeptical
What do you like best about the product?
It's flexibility. I like that it can import Visio stencils and in general the web interface works fine
What do you dislike about the product?
Would prefer to have greater offline capabilites or even a client for Windows 10
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dont need to buy Visio. That is biggest advantage. So far all complex Visio diagrams I've imported have worked.
Have enjoyed and used Lucidspark for almost a year - great addition to project planning and design.
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidspark is super easy to implement for all members of the team. Easy drag and drop placement of items and jobs and easy color coding and brainstorming.
What do you dislike about the product?
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. NPO discounts?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management; design; troubleshooting bottlenecks.
Great tool for visualisation and planning
What do you like best about the product?
As a visual person, Lucid helps me visualize thoughts and process flows. It's been really easy sharing this information and helping others to be on the same page as well. The Google Drive integration is excellent as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as of now, perhaps I haven't fully explored all the features yet, but it works great for what I need it for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps to crystallize my thoughts better and present workflow and ideas that are easily understood by all. Especially useful in the context of remote working and brainstorming in a virtual context.

What do you dislike about the product?
I have not found any blockers so far. The tool is very useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently solving problems related to the company's strategic plans. The benefits of being able to virtually plan as a team, the ability to return to the charts for review and updating, and the icons and graphics available are all useful to my department (innovation).
Great tool with a variety of uses
What do you like best about the product?
Useful templates to help me get started on projects quickly. Highly customizable. Good team collaboration. I like that I can see when others are in the document and what they're doing. This has been really useful with working remotely.

Sometimes it can be diffucult to find older documents.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mapping out user flows to inform UI/UX Design direction and requirements and ensure alignment with tech for technical requirements. We inlucde these flows as part of our design handover for on and offshore teams to reference.

The price is somewhat high if you want the premium version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Daily tasks
A very interesting tool to brainstorm, collect ideas and work together creatively
What do you like best about the product?
Your creativity is the limit on what you can do. I have the impression that Lucidspark is improving its service continuously. When I used it the first time, my collaborators and I made a relationship matrix with tons of post-its and we had to align them by hand. Now you can sort and gather them efficiently, which is a great feature to save time. I also love that it is possible to work at the same time as your colleagues, on different parts of the document. This great for separate idea creation, afterwards you can go through the ideas one by one. Seeing the other's mouse cursors also help a lot.
As it is online, people can also work independently of their timezone on the mindmap. So not everyone has to work at the same time. That helps also to distribute tasks and let people finish their work by themselves. Lastly, already the free version of Lucidspark provide enough freedom to test the platform and you can find out, whether using Lucidspark adds value to your organization. It did in my case.

What do you dislike about the product?
I am slightly colorblind and have issues with attributing the correct color to the different post-its. It would help a lot to either have tags next to the colors (that pop-up) to help selecting the right color. For fairness they have a kind of "eyedropper" like in Powerpoint that helps me to align the colors. I need to admit that I haven't mentioned that feedback to the Lucidpark team, so I cannot say how quickly Lucidpark implements such feedback in new updates.
I also want to mention that Lucidpark does not replace an in-person brainstorming session, you need to have a teleconference at the same time to communicate with your team, without that it can become quite a chaos.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am mainly writing story arcs and characterizations of different actors with my team. I find Lucidpark beneficial that you can work on the same document at the same time that is a colossal mind map. If we would use other options like a google-doc, we would be limited to writing & maybe some shapes and stuff. In contrast, Lucidspark provides a plattform for collaboration with other people and creating visually exciting documents that spark new ideas.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend trying out the free version first. It requires a couple of sessions to learn how to use all the functionalities fully, but I think it is possible to realize quickly how helpful the platform is for your task. During home office and lock-down times, I believe Lucidpark is a great tool!
Additionally, if your team works on large idea mind maps, having these digital and not in paper form can provide a clutter-free work environment.
