Encourages collaboration with our clients, and reactions help to prioritize ideas, but automation to make things more consistent would be helpful

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.

Helps streamline thought processes of users

There was no need for me to use the tool's integration capabilities. From a ground level, I use the tool to prepare a mind map based on my own thoughts, so I don't see any value in the product. The tangible benefits I have experienced from the implementation of the product stem from the fact that a lot of thought processes are involved, and it also streamlines thought processes. The template helped me to define a lot of functionalities, and understand the functionalities of each vertical. Everything is easy in the product. I have experience with the free version of the solution, so I am not sure about the pricing. Even if the pricing part is considered for the solution, I feel it is really cheap and affordable. When I used to use the product in the past, GenAI was not a part of the tool. AI is not required everywhere. Just because AI is available, it doesn't mean that it has to be everywhere and it is not the right approach. AI probably provides some suggestions to help users. The mobile version looks easier for me. The product offers desktop and mobile versions. The value derived from the use of the product around the fact that the thought process gets streamlined, and you will feel well-organized using the product. I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Lucidspark has done an incredibly good job of providing a very robust library of templates. I'd like to see more of those. But right now there are many more useful templates than anything I've seen with any other similar apps. Hats off to Lucid for that."

"It positively affected the productivity of our working and brainstorming sessions. It was definitely a saver for us because we wanted the agenda to be addressed as soon as possible. We were able to do that, and this solution was pretty useful for us."

"The user interface is easy to use. There were other things that I was expected to make work like other people had done and they were expected to make things like I had done. Even though we had a template, there were times when we couldn't access each other's template and it was very easy to just go ahead and make it just like they had it. It's very intuitive. It's very easy to figure out where things are and how to use things."

"The whole reason why I use Lucidspark and Lucidchart is because of the way that I collaborate with other people, e.g., if I send somebody a document that it is more difficult to use because I have to convert everything to a PDF. With Lucidspark, I can give them a link. They can open it up, then they can move things around. That is very helpful. That is one of the reasons why I like using it. It's kind of like Basecamp with art."

"The virtual whiteboard is useful for brainstorming and quickly drawing and getting your thoughts out without having to do a formal, formatted drawing. For example, if I am doing a Zoom call, I can just share my screen and I can draw freehand, and change colors."

"I really liked the sticky notes. They made it easy to change the colors, just click and add ideas, move those ideas around, and then connect them. I felt like they were very intuitive and easy to use."

"The time is no longer spent trying to get everybody to be in one document or sending documents back and forth so that everybody is on the same page. Those things add up, especially as a team gets larger. Also, there are errors that come with that, e.g., sending the wrong version of a document. If the document is held somewhere, then it is easy to determine who made the last correction. Everybody is a part of the team so I can remove people as an administrator who need to be removed or add them to a specific thing. It is very straightforward and worth it in that manner."

"The solution enables me to prioritize ideas."

More Lucidspark pros

"Integrations with so many other tools make this platform highly useful."

"Miro significantly enhances brainstorming sessions."

"As a consultant managing multiple projects, I find Miro's collaboration features highly beneficial."

"The solution's UI is very user-friendly, and it is not that hard to define the shapes you are looking for or to import them."

"Miro's flexibility is a main feature. It provides boards where I can put whatever is needed without limits."

"Online Collaboration made it easy to brainstorm."

"It is a versatile tool suitable for various tasks, including process modeling."

"The product's initial setup phase is simple and straightforward."

Cons

"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."

"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."

"When two people are editing, there should be a way to lock the other person's changes to avoid having a person overwrite someone else's changes. When multiple users access the same document, there should be some way of locking others out, possibly by changing user permissions."

"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."

"The user interface is not intuitive because I have used other applications previously, and it took a little bit more time. Once I figured that out how to save shapes, that was super helpful, but it did take probably one or two times to get there. Once I understood it, it made a lot of sense."

"There are still some things that are a little confusing or too advanced, which is why it's not easy to use and hop on. There could be some other features that could be added, like other templates."

"Layers would be great. They don't have a layer feature. When you have a lot of items in the same place, it is hard to pick them out."

"It has not affected the productivity of our working and brainstorming sessions too much."

More Lucidspark cons

"Maybe at some point, Miro should be able to use AI to provide analysis from the brainstorming sessions or files fed into it."

"I don't see the need to have updates in the product every other month or every other day."

"I would like to see enhancements in Miro, especially when working with tables like Excel."

"The text customization inside objects needs some enhancement, especially for the text written in rectangle shapes."

"It should have a desktop version."

"The product subscription is very expensive. The pricing could be better."

"When I imported an image to Miro, my friend saw it differently from what I saw when I changed the size of it."

"The solution could be available on mobile."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I know that to get 10 seats for Spark is $2000 a year, which struck me as a little high."

"It's a very reasonable $8 a month. That makes it really accessible and helps it fill a pretty significant need for virtual collaboration. Just about every leadership team member that I've talked to said, 'Oh, well, that's cheap, just go buy it.'"

"The licensing is a fair price. We mainly have single users. We chose not to do the team user because of the cost. We didn't see a need for that at this point. We have talked to Lucidchart and Lucidspark salesmen often about that."

"One must pay extra if he wishes to have a higher level product."

"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."

"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."

"It is not cost-prohibitive. It is well worth it, but we are also a small team. We are definitely planning on having it as part of our onboarding for everyone, but I haven't looked at the pricing for an enterprise level or large set of employees."

"There is room for improvement in terms of the cost. It should all be bundled together. It's becoming like a Microsoft, where you have to buy all the different version features separately. It should just all be bundled with one price."

More Lucidspark pricing and cost advice

"The product's price is low. Monthly and yearly subscriptions are available when it comes to the licensing part of the product."

"The product costs approximately $300 per user."

"The initial cost of Miro was a bit high for me as a small company. However, considering its many benefits and the number of projects I have, it's reasonable and worth the investment."
