Overall Satisfaction with Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite

I found the transition from Miro to be challenging. Miro had better templates to get things started and kicked off.

Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite Lucidchart also does not make it easy to work with grids or organize things in grids - this meant I had to change the way I worked.

The similarity with Visio was a help but, again, not immediately clear. There was a learning curve.
I use Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite for collaboration across multiple teams.

I use it to visualize workflows with business teams. Having a common visual representation helps everyone stay on the same page.

I also use the board to elicit feedback during online brainstorming sessions on those same workflows.

With developers, it helps to have them also witness the workflow defined and refined. We then collaborate on solution design together to ensure that the solution matches the business requirements.
  • Organizing content with frames
  • creating quick workflows
  • brainstorming as a team
  • More meeting management such as music during voting session
  • Simpler copy/paste from external clipboards
  • Ability to download entire boards as a flat file for backup and portability
  • Reduced the need for multiple meetings by providing an asynchronous way for stakeholders to see the work in progress
  • Organizing all the artifacts and workstreams in a single way and having the flexibility to re-organize saved a lot of time for developers and stakeholders just looking for or asking about things
I have not done any of that.
As the selected whiteboard for the organization, it is central for collaboration both in real time and asynchronously. One always needs a tool for such communication in today's remote working environment, Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite is an adequate tool for it.
I did not select Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite. That decision was taken by others in the organization. Given a choice, I am not sure I would have selected Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite. Miro was already established and, with a local client, was a better user experience in many ways.

Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite does better with its Visio-like diagraming ability.

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?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite again?

Yes

Good for brainstorming, Visio-like diagrams, organizing workstreams and content.

Not so good for ad hoc design or working directly on mock-ups. Even PowerPoint does a better job if one wants to "hack" a quick visualization for a user interface.

Also the lack of ability to export as a flat file gives less portability as such.
