Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The whiteboard has been very helpful. It's a nice tool. At least for me, as a teacher, that's been very helpful and it's an easy tool. There are specific tools within the whiteboard for drawing. It makes things easier, so I like that.""The user interface is easy to use. There were other things that I was expected to make work like other people had done and they were expected to make things like I had done. Even though we had a template, there were times when we couldn't access each other's template and it was very easy to just go ahead and make it just like they had it. It's very intuitive. It's very easy to figure out where things are and how to use things.""The solution enables me to prioritize ideas.""The whole reason why I use Lucidspark and Lucidchart is because of the way that I collaborate with other people, e.g., if I send somebody a document that it is more difficult to use because I have to convert everything to a PDF. With Lucidspark, I can give them a link. They can open it up, then they can move things around. That is very helpful. That is one of the reasons why I like using it. It's kind of like Basecamp with art.""The ease of using Lucidspark is definitely my favorite. It has been very intuitive, and it is easy for me to drag and drop my ideas to be able to be viewed by my colleagues. It is easily accessible for everyone with whom I'm working.""The virtual whiteboard board is amazing. That is something that we've all needed, and I wish I knew about this back when I was focusing on my master's in university. That would have made things so easy. I struggled with MindManager and all these other free programs that you can use to make your mind maps and share your process with your supervisors and your classmates. Lucidspark would have been a lot easier to use and would've been a really good thing to have back then.""We have used this solution for remote or virtual brainstorming sessions. We're a 100% remote company and therefore having that capability is important.""I discovered over time, after going through Visio and OmniGraffle, that when I started to use Lucidchart it was vastly superior. It is just so much more intuitive, so much more smooth. It works, it doesn't crash. It's just perfect."

"Online Collaboration made it easy to brainstorm.""Integrations with so many other tools make this platform highly useful."

More Miro Pros →

Cons
"There's a little bit of latency with the collaboration bit. Overall it's not quite as fast as Google docs, however, it's really close.""Some parts where the arrows flow tend to flow in a strange direction where you want to drag it to, and it requires a lot of adjusting here and there. It's just the flow of the arrow sometimes it gets a little tricky, and then when you move something else, it gets wonky, and then you have to go back and fix it up. That's the only thing that needs improvement.""One thing that I actually found difficult to do was to introduce video calls. Managing calls and the whiteboards and being all remote is difficult.""The one other significant recommendation is because I do work with folks outside of my organization quite regularly. The user experience of having them all have to set up a free account to join me in a workspace is a bit cumbersome. I really would love it if there was a Visitor link that would allow contributors who don't have free logins to join and participate.""When two people are editing, there should be a way to lock the other person's changes to avoid having a person overwrite someone else's changes. When multiple users access the same document, there should be some way of locking others out, possibly by changing user permissions.""There are still some things that are a little confusing or too advanced, which is why it's not easy to use and hop on. There could be some other features that could be added, like other templates.""In terms of improvement, having layout guides would be nice.""I hope that one of the updates will be a zoom-in/zoom-out function that's a little different than what they currently have, just to make it flow better when you're trying to move in and out of the board. I know they're working on it and that would be great, once they get that together."

"Maybe at some point, Miro should be able to use AI to provide analysis from the brainstorming sessions or files fed into it.""It should have a desktop version."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "There is room for improvement in terms of the cost. It should all be bundled together. It's becoming like a Microsoft, where you have to buy all the different version features separately. It should just all be bundled with one price."
  • "The licensing is a fair price. We mainly have single users. We chose not to do the team user because of the cost. We didn't see a need for that at this point. We have talked to Lucidchart and Lucidspark salesmen often about that."
  • "It's a very reasonable $8 a month. That makes it really accessible and helps it fill a pretty significant need for virtual collaboration. Just about every leadership team member that I've talked to said, 'Oh, well, that's cheap, just go buy it.'"
  • "It is not cost-prohibitive. It is well worth it, but we are also a small team. We are definitely planning on having it as part of our onboarding for everyone, but I haven't looked at the pricing for an enterprise level or large set of employees."
  • "I personally had a hard time getting the licenses sorted out. In the organizational license, the whole process took a lot of time. Personally, I feel that the licensing could be done much better on that front."
  • "It would be better if I didn't use Lucidspark at all and just used Illustrator and Photoshop, but it doesn't make sense for my projects to do that. It would remove a tremendous amount of steps, but it would cost a tremendous amount of money."
  • "One must pay extra if he wishes to have a higher level product."
  • "I don't think that the cost is ever something that I considered. It has always been worth it to pay a small payment and help everyone with their tasks. It has definitely helped me become more organized. I don't think that the cost has been a barrier at all, and it is worth it to be able to pay for it."

    Overview

    Lucidspark is a virtual whiteboard where teams can bring their best ideas to light. Collaborate in real time, no matter where you are. Lucidspark helps people organize notes and scribbles and turn them into presentation-ready concepts. When it’s time for next steps, teams can develop workflows and process documents to turn ideas into reality. Features include: integrations, infinite canvas, sticky notes, freehand drawing, chat, templates, timer, voting, and more.

    With Lucidspark, you can not only brainstorm ideas as a team but then refine and organize those ideas to drive action. Features like assisted grouping and Lucidchart import/export help users turn ideas into plans and strategies.

    Lucidspark is part of the Lucid suite, the only visual collaboration suite that helps teams see and build the future from idea to reality. Users can start ideating in Lucidspark and then seamlessly move to Lucidchart and Lucidchart Cloud Insights to complete the full project lifecycle and make their ideas a reality.

    Miro is a collaborative online whiteboard platform that enables teams to work together remotely, brainstorm ideas, and visualize concepts. With its intuitive interface and extensive range of features, Miro has become a popular tool for remote teams, designers, and educators.

    One of the key features of Miro is its vast library of templates and widgets, which allows users to quickly create various types of visual content such as mind maps, flowcharts, wireframes, and user journey maps. These templates provide a starting point for collaboration and help teams to structure their ideas effectively.

    Miro also offers real-time collaboration, allowing team members to work together on the same board simultaneously. Users can leave comments, mention team members, and have discussions directly on the board, eliminating the need for lengthy email threads or separate communication tools.

    The platform also integrates with popular tools like Slack, Jira, and Google Drive, making it easy to import and export content from other applications. This seamless integration enhances productivity and ensures that teams can work with their preferred tools without any disruptions.

    Furthermore, Miro provides a range of interactive features that enhance collaboration and engagement. Users can add sticky notes, create voting sessions, and conduct remote workshops using Miro's built-in video conferencing capabilities. These features make it easy for teams to brainstorm ideas, gather feedback, and make decisions together, regardless of their physical location.

    In addition to its collaborative features, Miro also prioritizes security and privacy. The platform offers enterprise-grade security measures, including data encryption, access controls, and compliance with industry standards like GDPR and SOC 2. This ensures that sensitive information remains protected and confidential.
