Made my operations simpler, clearer, and easier to do. Learning curve for advance features needs to be more intuitive.
There are some things which are kind of complicated to know how to use. I would have to get used to them a bit more, or learn how to use them more, because I feel like there are a lot of features and I don't really know about all of them. I would need more tutorials, and that's one of the biggest things. It's so nice when you're able to just hop onto a program and intuitively know how to use it. Also, it is so tedious to have to teach new team members how to use the program, especially if they don't collaborate consistently but are hopping on for one meeting. The easier that they could make it for people to learn, like improving the learning curve, the better that Lucidspark could be. What drew me to Lucidspark was that I hopped on and it was easy and intuitive. It was very nice to look at and use. That caught me. However, there are advanced features that I would have to learn how to use, and if I want my other team members to use them, then I would have to be able to quickly and easily explain them. So, if they could make pop-up tutorials for new team collaborators, e.g., click here to do this and that as a very brief intro tutorial, then that would be helpful. I don't know if they have that already, but that would be helpful for collaborators. 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. What I really liked was how there were templates that gave you examples of how you could use Lucidspark. I feel like that is helpful for people to see. Adding more variety would be helpful for people. The easier it is to use, the faster someone can just pick it up and start using it. I feel like that will improve the platform and get more people to join it. A lot of small organizations need these sorts of tools, but they don't have time to spend learning about what is good about this solution and how it can help them. I would recommend making it as easy as possible, especially for small organizations.

Speed and APIs have boosted scientific workflows but multi-environment deployment still needs work
In the product, they have started taking the right direction with Revvity Signals Notebook. They have added in-vitro analysis. That is, within Signals Notebook, you can define your experimental workflow steps. However, that is not very customizable. They have started adding those automation steps within in-vitro analysis. If you have a simple workflow, you can automate that within Signals Notebook itself using in-vitro analysis objects. You don't have to go to VitroVivo; you don't have to depend on Spotfire skill because VitroVivo requires your Spotfire skills. They can mature it because they have now started adding different plottings, such as P3 and P4 kind of plotting and curve fitting plotting. However, it is still at a very early stage. They can work on that area to mature their in-vitro analysis, to showcase all kinds of visualization and make their different steps more customizable. They have been adding more and more features in ADT. They can continue doing that with more and more functionality. For other functionality, they can also do things such as how they can combine multiple ADTs together. If we have to do a joining of two ADTs' data and putting it into other ADTs, or if we have to do a union of ADTs, if they can do it at the Signals Notebook level itself, then it will be quite flexible. Many tasks can be taken care of at the notebook level. You don't have to utilize the Signals Notebook API and then integrate it in your Python-based scripting or any other data pipeline scripting for doing this kind of task. Many things can be done at the notebook level. There are improvement areas in Signals Notebook itself, in the area of ADTs, combining data, and joining data. They can add the filtration as well. Currently, the limit in the ADT is 2,000 rows, so they can increase that limit to 10,000 and more than that. If somebody is joining one ADT to another ADT and then the result is getting saved into an ADT, then this row limitation should not come as a hurdle. For the stability of Revvity Signals Notebook itself, the rating is 9 out of 10. However, the only demerit of one feature of Signals Notebook is their deployment product. If you have multiple tenants, for example, one for the development area, another is for the QA area, another is for UAT, or then the production area, if you have multiple environments configured, and you want to deploy your experiments templates from one environment to another environment, that is a big pain. They have called it CTT functionality, and that is a very unstable functionality they have. It is one of the worst functionalities in Signals Notebook, that CTT tool they have. However, after getting complaints from the client side, they have started working, but the approach is still not that great. They don't have a seamless deployment application available from one tenant to another tenant. If I have to rate it, for deployment from one environment to another, I would be giving 2 or 3 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I would recommend others to use this particular software, since it is intuitive, flexible, time-saving, and easy to use."
"Overall, Lucidspark is a vast improvement when it comes to the productivity of working and brainstorming sessions."
"I found the whiteboard very customizable. You can create different stages of a flow chart, for example. You can play around with a lot of variables."
"There's a feature that allows us to tag and automatically group ideas to help organize and synthesize ideas after a brainstorming session, and it's an amazing aspect and very helpful."
"I find it a whole lot easier for making a flowchart process. Previously, I would use PowerPoint and then have to share the file. It's a lot nicer for collaboration."
"I am a visual person, which is why I like Lucidspark. Its user interface and intuitiveness are pretty good. It is pretty intuitive to understand how we are moving forward and drawing things on the whiteboard. It's very simple, not complicated. The things that I use are mainly the post-it notes and containers, where I can grab a group of post-it notes, then put them in a container and move them around."
"It has made our working and brainstorming sessions very simple and has cut down a lot of back-and-forth, so we're able to get to the result in less time than we used to and it saves us at least one day per week."
"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."
"All the clients are liking this tool because of the speed with which you can configure anything, the simplicity of the UI, as well as the speed with which it saves your data."
"The best features Revvity Signals Notebook offers include the significant difference between it and paper notebooks, as now we can get all the data in one single computer from several users, we changed our mindset, and now we can compile all the data from several projects."
"From my experience over the last fifteen months, the most valuable feature of the Revvity Signals Notebook is its ease of use. Customers appreciate that updating templates is straightforward and everything is automatically saved. The UI is simple, making creating, sharing, and searching experiments easy. Different scientists can reference each other's experiments seamlessly. It is also swift compared to other vendor-built software, where you have to customize templates and write a lot of code. Revvity Signals Notebook excels in this aspect, making it smooth and efficient."
"My company has a business relationship with this vendor as a distributor and reseller beyond being just a customer."
 

Cons

"Depending on how much Lucidspark wants to emulate a true whiteboard experience, there could be other ways to do things."
"The only thing that is a little cumbersome for me is trying to use a mouse as a stylist somehow. I would like it if there was a different way to do that."
"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."
"Using my iPad, it seems clunky and isn't as responsive as my PC."
"One of the things that I struggled with a little bit was navigating around the board."
"In terms of improvement, having layout guides would be nice."
"One thing I wish it had is, if I draw a square or a rectangle freehand, that it would actually just draw a nice rectangle; or similarly with a circle. Some sort of automatic shape recognition and formatting would be helpful."
"There is an emphasis on Google as a set of cloud apps and cloud storage but I don't use Google so that doesn't really help."
"Revvity Signals Notebook is not applicable to my main use case, as I typically do not use it for any specific purpose in my daily work."
"Revvity Signals Notebook is not applicable to my main use case, as I typically do not use it for any specific purpose in my daily work."
"It is one of the worst functionalities in Signals Notebook, that CTT tool they have."
"I trust the Signals support team regarding collaboration and data security, although I am not entirely certain about the security of Revvity."
"The workflow implementation is a pain point for customers because it relies on Spotfire with added plugins, which are not natively integrated. This makes execution slow and less effective in meeting all scientific workflow needs. Additionally, the support service is slow to respond and resolve issues. Even known problems take time due to a lack of astrong developer support team, making it a significant product drawback. They also need to work on other products like Workflow, which still need to achieve these compliance requirements. While Signals Notebook is good enough to meet all the necessary needs, other products like BitLocker still need improvements to become fully compliant enterprise products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I know that to get 10 seats for Spark is $2000 a year, which struck me as a little high."
"The pricing is very reasonable. It is more expensive than some of the free options out there but much cheaper than Visio, and it works much better."
"The pricing is in line with everything else out there, and you get what you pay for."
"One must pay extra if he wishes to have a higher level product."
"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.'"
"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."
"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."
