Lucidspark Review
What do you like best about the product?
Multiple ways to design your board. Collaboration/real-time updates. Autosaves content. Templates (though I would say some of the templates could use some upgrading).
What do you dislike about the product?
Since the borders are infinite, it can make it hard to find things on some larger board. Would be nice to see more info on what the different features do/how they can be used. It would also be nice to be able to lock out some features (ie - the drawing pens) that you don't want folks to use during collaboration. It would also be helpful to have the ability to add the person's name to their edits so that the board owner can see who contributed what to the board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to better collaborate while working from home. We use whiteboards a lot and being able to represent things visually in real-time has helped.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the free version and make sure that it fits what your team needs. Take some time to have folks go in and experiment with what Lucidspark can do so that you don't spend meeting time learning the tool.
Process and Design Clarity!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the massive library of symbols and templates to work choose from (and get inspiration from)! We've been able to customize the shapes into our own library to ensure consistent use form person-to-person, project-to-project.This product has been amazing for our team and a great way to provide clarity around process and program design.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wasn't initial clear about the limitations of the "Educational" plan, and thought there would be more options before having to upgrade. There was a little bit of a learning curve having to figure out the symbol library and the ability to create my own symbols, but once I got it down it has been simple to do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're mapping resources connections for migrant workers and designing a intake process to get them to the right place!
Lucidspark for System Design in Software Engineering
What do you like best about the product?
The tools available, along with the variety of templates, make Lucidspark very useful. So far, I have used it for System design documentation. Nonetheless, I can see the potentials for usage in my University work, for personal mind maps, flow charts. I think that the UI is very friendly, and it is pretty enjoyable to use the system in general.
Furthermore, the ability to share and collaborate makes the system very attractive. While other primary collaborative tools are based on word processors, Lucidspark provides a valuable alternative for technical collaborations, which are better expressed as diagrams and mind maps rather than textual information.

What do you dislike about the product?
In doing my System design documentations, I realized that there were not a lot of Database related diagrams that I could use. I ended up using some images which was suboptimal. It would be nice to have this in the system. Despite not being certain that this is one of the target applications of the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am making system design documentation and flow charts for my personal use.
The learning curve is minimal which was a key factor in deciding to use the system in the first place. Moreover, once I started using it i realized it had most tools that I would need for work-related activities as well as some academic documentation.
I believe that the price for the premium system is worth it since the tools packaged in the deal are quite useful and I would definitely encourage usage to friends running startups and companies in general.

Include database diagrams etc. that are useful for system design
Lucid spark review
What do you like best about the product?
It helps in discussing ideas at a same place. Multiple people can work simultaneously on it and it provides smooth interface to interact with the whiteboard.
What do you dislike about the product?
Integration with different meeting providers. Zoom integration will be a big plus if present. I know you can still share the screen and do the tasks but would be cool if integration can be done right on the app itself.

Whiteboarding ideas while working from home
It is quite helpful in documenting ideas and at the same time collaborating with others in the team. Making charts and designs is the primary use case for now. As our product is in primary stage we needed such tool to do a lot of whiteboarding and lucid spark has helped a lot so far. Would love to try their full version now. Also was searching for the app for lucidspark but couldnt find any. Would love to see the app for this so that documents can be easily accesses from the mobile devices also

Lucidspark

It enables the team to do collaborative work. Great tool for diagrammatic representation. We sometimes use it as a whiteboard session to brainstorm ideas. The built in templates are great and helpful.
Also the integration with the Slack and Google drive is really useful.

Lines allign themselves to the grid which is very helpful in drawing

Team building and being able to brainstorm together and lay out our thoughts. Especially lovely when having more than four people on at the same time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The free account only allows 3 boards; therefore make sure to get the information you need before you erase it
Easy to use, beautiful results

I did not observe any downsides to using Lucidspark. It served my purposes perfectly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem Lucidspark has been most helpful with solving is the visualization of our processes. My favorite tool to use is the flowchart designer.
