"Powerful, easy to use and excellent value for money."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Marq?

Having trialed publisher and also a couple of other software packages I found Lucidpress to be the best, it's so easy to set up and navigate. I was able to produce my magazine exactly how I wanted and in quick time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Marq?

It is entirely cloud based, I personally would prefer downloadable software (at least as an option) so that I can use it offine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Marq:

It is a very good product at a very good price, at the very least when considering a desktop publisher Lucidpress should be on your shortlist. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Marq solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have created a magazine, GOSPAIN which is aimed at people living, visiting and wanting to move to Spain. With Lucidpress the process of physically producing the magazine was easy and stress free, it has also raised the profile of my business and in a way that I wasn't expecting (the magazine after only two editions is proving very popular).

"Different than Adobe."

3.5/5

What do you like best about Marq?

I LOVE that you can publish documents online and share with co-workers easily. I like that it keeps a record of the images you have uploaded in the past and that you can have a library of your brand fonts. I like that you can make and share folders,I like all the instructional videos your company has made to help your customers. I do like that you can download for print and include crop and bleed. I have gone towards uploading previously designed artwork that my co-workers can change to fit their promotional needs and that has worked very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Marq?

I'm not too fond of the design features - it is hard to get shapes and spaces to line up in a way that looks professional. I wouldn't call it a design software - but a tool for collaboration and publishing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A nice, functional, simple way to produce quality publications"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Marq?

Lucidpress' publication builder is full of functionality, and is surprisingly robust. We produce a regular magazine that always draws praise for its quality and appeal. The creativity and content is ours, but Lucidpress gives us a workable solution for creating layouts and generating pdfs that shine. It allows us to have a program that multiple users can log into if we desire, and it's reasonably intuitive for users with at least basic design skills and knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Marq?

While the program is quite robust, there are definitely limits you'll bump into from time to time. For example, you cannot create multiple columns with varying widths. Also, rotated items tend not to appear rotated in the pdf version. However, there are workarounds we've discovered. Also, we're not crazy about their templates. But that's OK, we prefer to create from scratch anyway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great product!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Marq?

I really enjoy the ease of use. We moved to lucidpress during the pandemic and when I came back to work I found that it was much easier to use then our previous platform we used. It had great image options, templates and overall look of documents is great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Marq?

I haven't found a downside, yet, I am still in the beginner stages of using the product. So far it's great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for Streamlining Processes"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Marq?

I love the ability that we have to create templates that the whole company can use instead of reinventing the wheel every time a new project comes up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Marq?

I am not a fan of having to remember to share all of our documents with the team so that anyone can jump in and work on something if they need it. I would like an auto-sharing option for certain teams within Lucid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Lucidpress has provided us with a design platform where we have been able to create creative and promotional material to boost our marketing management; I love the templates it offers and how much it facilitates the creative work to our designers and its downloadability, all in an application that is relatively easy to use and has a very intuitive and friendly interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Marq?

The paid version of this tool has a bit of a hefty price tag, but for how much it simplifies, it's worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Marq:

I would recommend without hesitation this program, it is perfect for designers with applied or little experience to create creative content to promote any brand and capture the attention of prospects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Marq solving and how is that benefiting you?

Licidpress has helped a lot with its design tools and predesigned and customizable templates to our design team and therefore to our company by simplifying the creation of creative and promotional valuable material for our campaigns and management of our marketing strategies in general through the distribution of the same.

"Very Attentive Customer Service"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Marq?

I like Lucidpress because it will help us ensure brand integrity for our new brand and streamline the approval process. I also think the interface is very intuitive. I like that template creators can lock down branded assets and provide brand assets inside of one cohesive tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Marq?

I would like to either see more powerful design tools within Lucidpress or better integration with adobe products like illustrator and photoshop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Marq:

I don't think there is a better tool out there for ensuring visual brand integrity if your organization tends to have silos or has content creators spread out in different departments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Marq solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lucidpress will help of solve the issue of transparency between departments and the content we are creating. It will also help us maintain brand integrity and even improve it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Lucidpress Rocks"

5/5

What do you like best about Marq?

What I like best about Lucidpress is that I can create marketing on my time. When I submit the piece to marketing it can be quickly reviewed at any time (even on weekends) and the marketing piece can go out. Clients have remarked that Portside's marketing is unique and beautiful - proof that Lucidpress has helped to solidify Portside's brand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Marq?

As a baby boomer, I had trouble finding some of the commands because some of the tabs have really small print. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Marq solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lucidpress has been a game changer for marketing my real estate listings. It has streamlined the process of getting marketing out and solidified our brand by allowing the marketing department to offer consistently branded templates. When our marketing department rolled out Lucidpress I was dubious and anxious about having to learn another software. Lucidpress was incredibly easy to learn!

"Feature rich and easy to use for all abilities"

5/5

What do you like best about Marq?

The solution enables me to do everything I need - I am able to create brochures, whitepapers, and wireframes. It is far easier to use than Indesign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Marq?

It would be useful if Lucidpress had a larger selection of icons to use or an integration with something like FontAwesome, which would allow us to use them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
