Overall Satisfaction with Lucidspark

I use it for building conceptual research models. The sticky notes allow me to attach questions and explanations to relationships between variables. The ability to quickly add variables or change relationships is quite useful for brainstorming models. The export feature is also handy, especially since it allows export of a variety of file times, including png.
  • Quicky altering models
  • Sticky note allow for elaboration of relationships
  • Export to a variety of file formats
  • Ability to move text within a line to above/below the line
  • The icon for changing line color isn't very obvious
  • Adding squared lines (as opposed to just curved or straight lines).
  • Time savings for brainstorming is a clear win for productivity and effectiveness
  • Having to redraw the diagram in Visio hurts productivity
Most interface elements are fairly intuitive, so overall Lucidspark is easy to use. Some things are less intuitive. As mentioned earlier, changing the text color was not very intuitive due to the strange icon. Overall, though, I am able to figure out how to do what I want with a minimum of effort.
Integration with Google Drive is nice, as is the integration with Lucidchart. I haven't used it with Slack. I'm a bit puzzled about why Lucidspark is different from Lucidchart. It seems like they should be one application.
I haven't used it to collaborate yet. So, I am unable to provide feedback on this element of Lucidspark. That being said, I suspect that the collaboration would be quite useful. It's a step up from texting pictures of my physical whiteboard.
I haven't had to use Lucidspark support so I can't evaluate this. As an aside, I was not allowed to skip the rating, so I chose the midpoint. This really isn't good survey design.

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?

Yes

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

Not as feature rich as Visio, but much easier to use for brainstorming diagrams. Microsoft's whiteboard is pretty useless.
Very good for brainstorming models. The ability to add notes is very useful. Although I haven't shared diagrams yet, I imagine collaboration would be quite useful.

I still prefer Visio for drawing publication diagrams because of its better array of features and shapes, and it's higher level of control over appearance.
