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.

Easy integrations, in-built templates, and lots of training videos

The solution has many valuable aspects, including: * Easy to build flowcharts with just drag and drop capabilities * Integrations with so many other tools make this platform highly useful * Prebuilt templates * Ability to share files through various channels and formats * Easy flowing. Much better that Mural where the user experience was a bit clunky * Ability for multiple people top work on the same board at the same time -- hence very useful for team brainstorming sessions * Competitive pricing * Lot of training videos available * Easy to scale * Ease of integration with other platforms

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 ease of using Lucidspark is definitely my favorite. It has been very intuitive, and it is easy for me to drag and drop my ideas to be able to be viewed by my colleagues. It is easily accessible for everyone with whom I'm working."

"The most valuable feature is the live, interactive whiteboarding. For brainstorming high-level ideas and concepts it's like Visio but much better, because it's online. Collaboration for process is much easier."

"It definitely helps when prioritizing things. For a business problem, you can create many different documents and easily compare them, then you can decide which one that you want to go forward with."

"It's easy to collaborate and it's easy to share amongst various team members. I myself am a product designer, and I found that in the past, as a project designer it's hard to work with engineers in terms of finding a product that satisfies what I need and want to do with the project designer and what they need and want as engineers. This tool is a good combination of both, and I feel like it's super easy to use. It makes a lot of sense. It's simple enough, but also has enough complicated features to make it what we want it to be."

"How easy it is to use is the best feature."

"I like the fact that Lucidspark has got all these templates that we can use."

"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."

More Lucidspark pros

"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."

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

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

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

"Online Collaboration made it easy to brainstorm."

"Miro significantly enhances brainstorming sessions."

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

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

Cons

"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."

"Some parts where the arrows flow tend to flow in a strange direction where you want to drag it to, and it requires a lot of adjusting here and there. It's just the flow of the arrow sometimes it gets a little tricky, and then when you move something else, it gets wonky, and then you have to go back and fix it up. That's the only thing that needs improvement."

"There should be a feature for changing the color of the background, borders, etc. Such a feature will make the flowcharts more attractive."

"They have a grid system for snapping too, and they've done a lot to try to line things up so that the lines don't squiggle when you draw a line between one item and another. Everything has to be lined up. Everything has to be 90 degrees exact. But a lot of other people on the team just throw something together really quickly and the lines are not straight. And so it would be nice to have some feature that eliminates that problem."

"Sometimes, editing text can be confusing. Changing different fonts and subtitles and the shapes that you're trying to use can be confusing. There isn't that much that I would improve other than just nitpicky user differences."

"I hope that one of the updates will be a zoom-in/zoom-out function that's a little different than what they currently have, just to make it flow better when you're trying to move in and out of the board. I know they're working on it and that would be great, once they get that together."

"In terms of improvement, having layout guides would be nice."

"One thing that I actually found difficult to do was to introduce video calls. Managing calls and the whiteboards and being all remote is difficult."

More Lucidspark cons

"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 solution could be available on mobile."

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

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

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

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

"It should have a desktop version."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."

"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."

"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 was using the web version. I don't know what I signed up for, but I don't think I paid anything. It was just free."

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

"It would be better if I didn't use Lucidspark at all and just used Illustrator and Photoshop, but it doesn't make sense for my projects to do that. It would remove a tremendous amount of steps, but it would cost a tremendous amount of money."

More Lucidspark pricing and cost advice

"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."

"The product costs approximately $300 per user."

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