Overall Satisfaction with Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite

It is definitely intuitive tool. It has all the features the someone wants to build robust arch diagrams and share it with teams. But it’s not that easy to use. Someone who knows what they want to so they can only work on this tool. If I share the chart with non-tech user they might not know how to edit it
I built solutions designing and architecting to build artefacts and share it with customers or internal interests. We do implementations to customers to track how the tool is being used in their tech stack or how the data is flowing we build flow diagrams or architecture diagrams to have it documented
  • Solutioning the custom solutions where we want to get clear understanding of how the tech stacks are being used
  • Process flow diagrams
  • Structure based designs and architecture
  • Branded logos like AWS S3, SFTP etc.
  • The AI generation is too basic. May be needs training with detailed data
  • The chart when shared is sharing all the tabs. Can we limit to 1 tab
  • Had a better performance within the team to share the architecture of implementation
  • Best tool to collaborate with customers and deliver them their instance setup. This improved credibility
  • Helped us save time by sharing and reusing arch diagrams
We currently integrated it with Confluence and Slack. Confluence is to have the documentation of the project we work on where arch diagram is key which is built using Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite. Slack is to get notifications whenever someone mentions you to edit or review the chart. These integrations help us in efficiency and time saving
The capability to mention someone asking them to edit and track someone online in realtime while they are editing helps with on call building the doc in real time. It helps us to get the job done then and there instead of me doing the work and send it over to someone who edits it will become a rally and not efficient
  • draw.io, Azure Bot Service (Microsoft Bot Framework) and Miro
draw.io is a free tool which has very limited functionality. Some of the advanced features like AI based generation and templates are not available in other applications. Also, I’ve used bot framework for different purposes. If customer wants to collaborate and they don’t have Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite I tend to build the same in draw.io

Do you think Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite's feature set?

Yes

Did Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite again?

Yes

If you want to build a robust architecture diagram solo or with a team in collaboration this is hands down the best tool. But for high level flow diagrams I think other diagramming tools are easy to launch and work with. We can still use Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite for them but not exclusively this
