Overall Satisfaction with Lucidspark

LucidSpark really shines early on in the design process, when thinking through and collaborating about architecture. It is a great tool for modeling systems at a high level and communicating with others.

Pros

  • Systems and architecture collaboration
  • Communication of intent
  • Discourages delving too deeply into implementation

Cons

  • Think of LucidSpart as a whiteboard -- Its strengths and weaknesses are similar.
  • LucidSpark's costs is a barrier for entry for personal use.
  • It has provided an easy and agreed upon tool for early collaboration
  • It has greatly improved team buy-in on design approach before writing code
LucidSpark meets its design goal of simplicity and should be applauded for that. It forces thinking about ideas - not implementation. However, a few more basic shapes would be nice.
The integrations with other tools seem nice in principle, but our organization hasn't really found a need for it in practice.
Lucidspark is consistent and reliable, it has many-fold increased early on collaboration and decreased peer review conflicts (since major ideas [were] already agreed upon.)
I've not needed support.

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

Yes

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

Previously, we've used Powerpoint, which isn't bad. LucidSpark integrates better with the other Lucid tools, but Powerpoint has more shapes available which [are] sometimes useful.
LucidSpark is great for early collaboration, where implementation detail is a bad thing. We use it, as a policy, before every feature as a team to work through a design approach. Think of it as a whiteboard in a meeting - ideas, not detail, [are] the goal.
