What is Lucidspark?

Lucidspark is a virtual whiteboard where teams can bring their best ideas to light. Collaborate in real time, no matter where you are. Lucidspark helps people organize notes and scribbles and turn them into presentation-ready concepts. When it’s time for next steps, teams can develop workflows and process documents to turn ideas into reality. Features include: integrations, infinite canvas, sticky notes, freehand drawing, chat, templates, timer, voting, and more.

With Lucidspark, you can not only brainstorm ideas as a team but then refine and organize those ideas to drive action. Features like assisted grouping and Lucidchart import/export help users turn ideas into plans and strategies.

Lucidspark is part of the Lucid suite, the only visual collaboration suite that helps teams see and build the future from idea to reality. Users can start ideating in Lucidspark and then seamlessly move to Lucidchart and Lucidchart Cloud Insights to complete the full project lifecycle and make their ideas a reality.

This is a feature-rich product and I would like to see more opportunities for teaching new users how to learn and use the breadth of the platform. Ideally, it would be nice if there were a set of guidelines to explain what it is capable of. I know that there are videos online, and I've watched a few. But, I know that when I first started, just playing around, there were things I didn't discover that I could do until much later. This is why I get surprised by certain integrations I learn that they have. It would have been great to know right from the start, with a guided tutorial on how to use the various options. As it is now, we have invested internally in the educational resources needed to learn how to use it. A tool that can be very self-serving in that way, and enable its users to use it to the breadth of what it is capable of doing, is always a great thing. Whatever they can do to help make the visual look a little cleaner would be great because it can get a bit messy, or inconsistent. If there were automations to do things like making sure that elements are of the same size and correct alignment, it would help to make the visual more presentable. This is important because, at the end of what you create, it can have a very positive impact on what is ultimately shared with the client.

Until recently, I was using the document piece where I can create these outlines and stuff based on their shape library. I don't use a whole lot of their templates, but the templates give me ideas on how to build my own structures moving forward. Recently, when they launched the new piece, which is more of the whiteboard design, it has become a place where we can collaborate together. Especially in these days of virtual meetings, we can show a whiteboard and move things around. I have only been able to use the whiteboard a couple times. I like the ability that it is never-ending, i.e., a very large white space that we can scroll through. It is not limited to the size of a piece of paper. With virtual meetings, we are always looking for ways to make sure that people are engaged in the virtual meeting. I think the whiteboard aspect of Lucidspark allows that to happen more efficiently and effectively. There is action taking place on the board, so it is not just someone presenting. I am a visual person, which is why I like Lucidspark. Its user interface and intuitiveness are pretty good. It is pretty intuitive to understand how we are moving forward and drawing things on the whiteboard. It's very simple, not complicated. The things that I use are mainly the post-it notes and containers, where I can grab a group of post-it notes, then put them in a container and move them around. It is very efficient to move ideas from the idea stage to execution, using the Lucidspark’s suite of products. When we are sending it to a software designer or implementation partner, I am able to create a visual flow where I might outline everything in a document. Then, I can create a visual flow in Lucidspark so they can see the progression of steps, which makes it easier for them to design because of the software. Because the software of Salesforce is using these same types of visuals when the system is created, there is a great relationship between what I am creating and what the developers are developing inside Salesforce for us.

One thing about the template library is that it does seem too focused on folks who develop SaaS products. There might be an opportunity for a little bit of an expansion for other, virtual, business-meeting-facilitation use cases, for folks who are not in the product development space. In terms of its user interface and intuitiveness, it took a little bit of time to figure out the difference between the selection tool and the move-around tool. When I was able to figure out a few keyboard shortcuts, that helped a whole lot. Having those keyboard shortcuts a little more apparent or visible, in the early setup, as a new user is getting used to the platform, could help. The one other significant recommendation is because I do work with folks outside of my organization quite regularly. The user experience of having them all have to set up a free account to join me in a workspace is a bit cumbersome. I really would love it if there was a Visitor link that would allow contributors who don't have free logins to join and participate.

Valuable Features

"We have used this solution for remote or virtual brainstorming sessions. We're a 100% remote company and therefore having that capability is important."
"The online collaboration with the teammates and being able to represent things in a visually attractive way are the most valuable features. It has been a really nice experience to make such beautiful and visually attractive flowcharts by using Lucidspark. The best thing was that I could collaborate online with my teammates. Overall, it was a nice experience."
"I like the fact that Lucidspark has got all these templates that we can use."

Room for Improvement

"There's a little bit of latency with the collaboration bit. Overall it's not quite as fast as Google docs, however, it's really close."
"There should be a feature for changing the color of the background, borders, etc. Such a feature will make the flowcharts more attractive."
"The challenge that I always face with a tool like this is how to convince other people to start trying it out. I can't say if Lucidspark does a better job than other such tools."

Pricing

"I know that to get 10 seats for Spark is $2000 a year, which struck me as a little high."
"I don't think that the cost is ever something that I considered. It has always been worth it to pay a small payment and help everyone with their tasks. It has definitely helped me become more organized. I don't think that the cost has been a barrier at all, and it is worth it to be able to pay for it."
"The pricing is very reasonable. It is more expensive than some of the free options out there but much cheaper than Visio, and it works much better."
