Maryam S Waris

Customer Success Manager at a media company with 501-1,000 employees

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.

There's a bit of a learning curve. It's a little bit harder than something like Asana which I have been using for six years. However, overall I'd give it maybe a B-plus. It'll probably take me about another week or so to really get a hang of it. Due to the fact that you can't force everyone to be in the room to brainstorm, it’s made the process maybe 20% slower. I love remote work, however, remote work is also slower in a couple of ways when you're doing collaborative stuff. You're more productive remote when you're by yourself, and yet, collaboration can be a little slower. The solution doesn’t make it easier to prioritize ideas. It's more about just getting a bunch of ideas up there quickly, and then we prioritize them in Jira. There are a few too many sub-menu options under the breakout board and the team tools. While the layout looks good, there are too many options to click through. 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.

Some of the text layout and text formatting of these shapes is useful. Drawing slow diagrams is pretty useful. The user interface and intuitiveness are pretty good. Overall, I would rate it an eight out of ten. A little bit more automation, some grid snapping, and some layout options would make it a perfect ten. I like to use the templates. The virtual whiteboard for brainstorming high-level ideas and concepts is great. It's ideal for things like moving around sticky notes and having an infinite whiteboard. I like that you can double click on the whiteboard, on the canvas and it just creates a sticky note. That's very convenient. Formatting of stickies is also intuitive and easy. That's what stands out. I see Collaborator Colors on our team. You can add a color to each collaboration in the document. That's a very cool feature. Compared to in-person sessions, remote or virtual brainstorming sessions are good. It has its trade-offs. I think that sometimes it's easier to motivate and direct a group in person because you really don't know what people are doing sitting in their office at home. I still find it effective to do it virtually, you just have to be a little bit more attentive. This collaboration feature would be a good way to see who is doing what. Previously, I would have to click on a person's name and follow them around the board. I integrate Lucidspark with Atlassian, JIRA, and G Suite. These integrations are pretty important because I find adding the step of stashing these things in a shared drive is burdensome. It saves a lot of steps that are often overlooked. It puts those documents in the cloud where others can collaborate on them. I find it's an appropriate place to put them. I haven't yet used the features to tag and automatically group ideas but I know it exists. I'm not at that stage of research. It enables us to spend more time discussing and revising ideas and next steps, and less time organizing them. A lot of that analysis is done by the team in real-time. Having the ability to automate the organization would be something to look at but I don't know that it's so critical at this stage. It's built into our process. Lucidspark facilitates a lot of the productivity of our working and brainstorming sessions. It supports shared thinking. Brainstorming is very difficult to do virtually relying on one's imagination alone. Having Lucidspark allows us to hear the thinking of a blurb and we can put elements like branding elements and colors and build a mood board to help ideate. We can have key phrases on cards that are easier to duplicate so there's not so much creation. We use the integration with Slack in Lucidchart not with Spark.

Valuable Features

"There's a feature that allows us to tag and automatically group ideas to help organize and synthesize ideas after a brainstorming session, and it's an amazing aspect and very helpful."
"I would recommend others to use this particular software, since it is intuitive, flexible, time-saving, and easy to use."
"The product really cut down our times by quite a bit, and that was a huge improvement in our pipeline."

Room for Improvement

"The solution does not allow us to effectively prioritize ideas; it's more about just getting a bunch of ideas up there quickly, and then we prioritize them in Jira."
"One thing that I noticed, when I was creating a document or something else, is a lot of empty space."
"One thing that I actually found difficult to do was to introduce video calls."

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."

Lucidspark Reviews Summary
Author info	Rating	Review Summary
Customer Success Manager at a media company with 501-1,000 employees	3.5	As a CSM, Lucidspark significantly boosts client engagement in virtual workshops, acting as an interactive whiteboard. It reduces client "time to value." I value its ease of use and voting features, but desire better in-app user guidance and visual alignment tools.
Director of Technology at Spoke AIOT	4.5	I use Lucidspark for remote visual brainstorming and project organization. It saves 10-20% time, despite a learning curve and latency. While not ideal for prioritization, I rate it 9/10 for enhancing overall team organization.
Senior UX Designer at Concentric Sky	4.5	I value Lucidspark for project management, research, and brainstorming, especially its intuitive virtual whiteboard, sticky notes, and collaboration features. It greatly helps prioritize ideas. While it's a 9/10, I'd like more automation, layout guides, and grid snapping.
Assistant Director Outpatient Rehab at UC San Diego Health	4.5	I use Lucidspark for collaborative ideation and process mapping, finding it incredibly user-friendly and effective for sharing ideas faster than alternatives. While it boosts productivity, my only challenge is navigating its large boards, but overall, it's a highly recommended solution.
Director of Business Systems at a media company with 501-1,000 employees	3.0	I find Lucidspark useful for documenting processes and remote brainstorming, appreciating its easy sharing. However, it feels very similar to Lucidchart, hasn't significantly boosted my productivity, and I question its unique value, though I might use its free whiteboard feature.
Creative Director at Deutsch Creative	4.0	I love Lucidspark for collaborative wireframing and brainstorming due to its large canvas and easy sharing. However, I'm frustrated by the inability to directly edit imported designs, forcing time-consuming rebuilding and workarounds for detailed design work.
Sr. Database Engineer at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees	4.5	Lucidspark is excellent for collaborative brainstorming and diagramming, acting like a remote whiteboard. It's fast, intuitive, and web-based. My main concern is the lack of a locking feature to prevent overwriting during simultaneous editing.
Systems Operator at Replicant Project	4.5	I use Lucidspark for brainstorming and meetings, appreciating its intuitive design and useful templates. I love the virtual whiteboard but wish the tracing was more responsive. It's easier to use than other solutions I've tried.

Title	Rating	Mindshare	Recommending
Figma	4.5	41.1%	100%	14 interviews Add to research
Miro Business - Enterprise	4.4	40.1%	100%	13 interviews Add to research
