Lucidspark vs. Quire

It's a great tool to have team members collaborate and generate brainstorming sessions. It's very interactive and the real-time approach makes it really fun. It's very interesting to sit down and have people participate in a voting session when exploring alternatives and comparing them to others. Brainstorming and collaborating are the biggest takeaways.

Quire is useful for tracking daily to-do's or keeping track of a project. It's not as clean as some other software (such as Nuclino, for example) and can get a little messy when creating a Workspace. It was difficult for me to know what was private and what was visible to my collaborators

• Intuitive and simple design is one of its strong points, so zero learning curve!
• Clearing away the whole board or parts of the board is a breeze to avoid confusion.
• The different pens with colors and nib thickness allow easy explanations.

• Kanban boards that makes it easier to look at my tasks.
• Categories that help me organize my tasks into To-Do, In Progress and Completed.

• After editing one item on a board, all other items can be dimmed, took me a few seconds to work out that I had to hit the ESC key to resolve
• Can't put my finger on exactly why but the minimap is a bit frustrating to use
• I'd really like to see options that only admins have visible but not clickable, then I'd know without asking that a given thing could be accomplished

• The Workspaces are not intuitive.
• No ability to set reminders for tasks.
• More could be done with priority levels (instead of just arrows).

It’s integral to the way we operate and run the business. It’s slick, professional and always having new features added

This is the where Lucidspark has some opportunity to have improvement, the learning curve can be not as intuitive as Lucidchart. The main area of improvement would be to have a similar interface as Lucidchart. For example, to scroll between the x and y axis can be difficult until the user discovers the tab on the left hand side that has the arrow and the hand. Until the user discovers that tab on the left hand side, the chart is difficult to navigate around.

From the sales team to the online training resources, there is so many ways that you can get information and questions answered the people over at Lucid really go out their way to ensure you and your teams success not to mention all of the help and support in app. Its the attention to detail and understanding of their user base that puts them over the other companies.

It is a very accessible and wide range of tools to help kick-off any projects and brainstorming sessions. It is user-friendly in terms of content sorting and collaborative ideations. It is also loaded with good quality export options and colours for a very practical client presentation and team understanding of the content across boards.

Quire comes close to Nuclino, but Nuclino wins with its ability to create "cards" and organize a little more neatly.

• I've made a Planning Poker template in Lucid that we use for Sprint Planning, and it's made it easier to switch to Story Points and forego task breakdown and time estimation altogether. It does save time during Sprint Planning but that's less significant than the fact that developers no longer feel the need or pressure to conform to whatever random time estimate was provided. That's thanks to Story Points, not Lucid itself, but Lucid surely made Planning Poker a lot easier than it used to be. As an added bonus, it stores voting history, so we can go back during the Retrospective and review particular items of interest that we completely botched the sizing of.

• There has been a lot of time saved
• Overall clarity
