Ideanote

Vorteile

Ideanote is a next generation tool that lets us collect data from the peoples.
We can implement their idea if we found 8t interesting.
It has many innovative ideas from the talented peoples.

Nachteile

Ideanote is best for innovative ideas but their should be more features for users.

Vorteile

I run agency business and everything goes as idea. Even we had lot of trello boards managing and naming ideas, idea validation, ideas in action etc... But still those as task.

As it matched so much with process I am doing offrecords from last 5 years and was trying to build something like that but thanks to ideanote for saving my time to focus more on usage and less on building...

Nachteile

Nothing as such for now but would love to have deadline when idea is moved to action phase.

Vorteile

There is space for ideation and growth in Ideanote, which is probably its best feature. It allows its users to be liberal and yet has a structure to it.

Nachteile

Can improve user interface on adding team members to every board or project

Vorteile

As someone who has long struggled with finding a balance between encouraging all ideas and then efficiently shepherding the best ones to fruition, I love Ideanote.

First the format allows introverts as well as extroverts to share in the discussion. This is important, as those who do better with the time and space to consider ideas often get overlooked during brainstorming sessions.

As a process and operations person I was immediately draw to the fact that a rating tool and clear path forward are built into the system. This is hugely helpful when herding cats.. (creatives). Ideas are fun and exciting, however implementation is where they become an asset to the business.

The widget option bridges the gap to easily access the public on specific issues.

Nachteile

I would really appreciate if an account could have more than one company name in it. As an entrepreneur I wear multiple hats, and it would significantly expand the value of an account.

Vorteile

1-Ingenuity of the design
2- Makes Ideation a lot easier
3- Ease of Use
4- Superior Analytics
5- Ability to make the product your own

Nachteile

Can’t seem to find any! the product is well thought through and beautifully designed. it suits all my company’s needs

Vorteile

The interface is friendly and simple, the experience inside the tool is excellent and makes sense.
For example, kanban stages are the best. When it comes to prioritizing ideas by impact, effort or any other criteria, we only have 4 options, which is perfect!

It is possible to personalize impact, colors, kanban stages, prioritization steps...

I'm really enjoying it.

Nachteile

Maybe, if we have a roadmap to idea implementation it will be nice.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Ideanote

Vorteile

I like the simplicity of the product, the UI is amazing and the cards concept is fun to work. The ability to add the phases helps in customising and creating your own ideation tool. I also love the insights and reporting of the ideas collected.

Nachteile

I cannot think of any negatives, but love to see pre-loaded templates or videos which can guide how to develop new ideas through Ideanote.

Vorteile

This is the type of software that I've been wishing for, but I didn't know it existed. I've only used Ideanote a short time, but I've been really impressed with how easy it is to set up, and the customer service has answered my questions quickly. I'm a nurse educator, not a techie, so ease of use is super important to me. I'm really excited about what this can do for my e-education company!

Nachteile

So far everything I've wanted has been there!

Vorteile

There is no better way to have a community manage their priorities through idea collaboration.

Nachteile

Nothing as such , this is a new category of apps , its usecases are still to be explored , sky is the limit .

Vorteile

Pre-made idea templates and Collaborate.

Nachteile

A separate box for TO-do list to combine the works together.

Vorteile

Crowdsourcing ideas is harder in a post-Covid 19 world. Without roundtable meetings and interoffice discussions that used to be commonplace, innovation has suffered for many companies.

Then, we found Ideanote.

Ideanote allows full discussion of ideas with a UI that is second to none.

We are a news organization that can now discuss ideas for new investigations and stories along with changes to help our business grow more profitable.

The visualization of ideas on Ideanote is especially gratifying, and an unlimited number of guests can be allowed to comment on any idea. Ideanote is a gamechanger for our business.

Nachteile

I stare at a computer all day, and I would love Ideanote even more with a "darkl mode" option. Please implement this as soon as possible. However, the UI is very pleasing to the eye. I just love having the option of dark mode - especially when I am working in the evening hours.

Vorteile

Ideanote feels very professional and the user interface is fantastic. Having a dedicated tool to collect and manage ideas takes idea management to the next level. Streamlining your workflow from idea to implementation is amazing but what is even better is the impression it creates. For customers and co-workers alike the message is clear - you value their opinion. It makes them more inclined to share feedback because they believe it will make a real difference since you put time and money into properly managing their ideas.

Nachteile

Not really a con but rather something I would love to see in the future is more integrations. Ideanote extracts the innovation and brainstorming part out of your project management system but does not replace it. Ideanote focuses on what it does best, managing ideas, and that is a good thing but once you have collected, organized, and prioritized the ideas it is time to move that task into a project management system. Introducing Zapier integration or even better a real open API solution will solve that problem.

Vorteile

A quick review of Ideanote.io:

◉ The User Interface is very easy to use and grouping ideas is simple to do
◉ Using the ready made templates makes it easy to get started
◉ Sharing ideas to collaborate with a larger group is easily done via the share button
◉ Customising the Ideanote.io portal using your own domain was straightforward
◉ Insights reporting gives you a good global representation of idea generation

Nachteile

◉ I would like to see more training videos highlight all the strengths of the product
◉ There are so many features so more training would be valuable

Vorteile

What I like the most is the simplicity & ease of use.
From creating new projects, inviting team members, developing ideas, commenting about other people's ideas etc.
With Ideanote, everything is in one place, making the process clear and simple.

Nachteile

We started using this app a few weeks ago so I do not have any negatives as of yet.
In one way I want Ideanote to be more robust and do many more other things like project management tools but on the other hand, I appreciate the simple interface and focus of the app.

Vorteile

1. White labelling
2. Getting an Idea from users about a product or services + pricing
3. Getting to know users challenges, which is a direct voice (What they want from us)
4. Staff posting their ideas, which is very important to understand their interest and at the same time they being responsible to act for what they have written
5. By getting consumers a voice, we have gathered clear segments to convert once the product or services is ready
6. This platform is far better than a survey concept because people don't like too many questions
7. With this Ideanote.io people are volunteering their voice for ideas or problems

Nachteile

I don't see any which has cons in this kind of platform when a company, team, client & consumers are collaborating to improve a product or services

Vorteile

I like the ability to share Missions with our Team and or Clients to Collaborate and brainstorm ideas on Steroids

Nachteile

need some updates on some of the items we dont want to show to everyone (they need to be hidden) but I know the ideanote team is already working on this issue

Vorteile

Being able to organize ideas by department and then by mission is a great way to keep ideas all in one place. As an independent marketing professional, it's a great place to allow clients a space to brainstorm rather than ideas getting lost in email and text. I especially love the option to allow general public to contribute to a mission. You produce a link to a mission and anyone with that link can add an idea, comment, or rate. It's a great way to crowd source ideas from customers as another feedback option and to allow customers to see what ideas have already been submitted (and can then rate up ideas they agree with).

Nachteile

I'm still new to the software but I would love to see things like a little white board you can comment with so folks can draw an idea/comment instead of only submitting an attachment. An integration with Asana would be awesome too so Ideanote could push ideas into a project management software.

Vorteile

This feedback is based on my own experience with this product only. Ideanote is very easy to learn. There is no difficulty to adopt the product because it is very intuitive. It's simple to share ideas with others even if there are externals. Ideanote facilitates creativity and the sharing of ideas, the testing of a project and its evaluation. It is very useful when working with collaborators or customers who are very mobile in their professional practices and who need effective tools to share ideas or projects in good conditions. I noticed that the adoption of the Ideanote solution is done naturally by all participants, even by those who are not comfortable with the IT tools.

Nachteile

It should be usefull to have a sort of plugin or a "virtual printer" to easily copy and send a content from a software to ideanote (drawing, URL...). You should "click" a button and send a content to ideanote.

Vorteile

When something is designed well it makes you want to use it more. An ugly platform wouldn't do much to inspire great ideas, which is one of the reasons why Ideanote excels---it looks beautiful, includes just the right amount of flexibility and customization to get you what you want, without becoming a project in and of itself.

Nachteile

There are a few features on the roadmap that I think will help take this tool to the next level by enabling new use cases. Namely, the ability for external users to contribute feedback without signing up.

Vorteile

The new way of managing idea, engaged and implement them! Love the process of how you can get your team to engage/vote for the idea before actually implementing it and have everyone involved in the decision-making process. Great to see all your ideas being visualized on one page!

Nachteile

not that I can think of as we've only use it for a short period of time but loving it already

Vorteile

We love the missions and way we can attach files to our digital notes. It is easy to use and manage users. No complaints really for the most part, the hardest part is just getting our team to remember to "go to Ideanote to jot the ideas down"!

Nachteile

Color coding ideas would be nice! A clearer account page in the admin account and billing section showing available features and features already paid for would be nice!

Vorteile

The inclusion and collaboration potential.

Nachteile

Nothing to report here. I would not change anything.

Vorteile

- Custom Domain
- Customizable Workflow
- Branding (fonts, colors, borders, etc.)
- Templates for ideas
- Embedding and collecting in several ways
- Powerful Insights and processes

Nachteile

- No API or other integrations (except Zapier)
- Quite expensive

Vorteile

It was very easy to get setup very quickly with a campaign.
The campaigns or "Missions" look beautiful out of the box.
Team members can add suggestions.

Nachteile

This "con" may actually be a "pro" for some people: I felt a bit overwhelmed by the available options. Fortunately when I just dove in I was able to quickly setup a campaign. The tool may actually be more powerful than what I need!

Vorteile

I really like the ability to quickly set up and collect relevant ideas from our team using Ideanote. Really Happy to with my purchase.

Nachteile

I have been using it for less than 6 months and so far everything has exceeded expectations. I can't think of any cons.

Vorteile

I like it because it makes me easier to get in touch with my community members and share our ideas together. We can comment, like, and add our ideas in Ideanote.

Nachteile

The UI for notifications that appears on the left of Ideas Board disturbing for me.. It could be better to manage the notification pop up.

Vorteile

IdeaNote is an excellent example of a simple idea well executed. We use IdeaNote almost daily internally for our brainstorming exercises. With IdeaNote:
1. Ideas are centralised in a single place. Hence they are easily tracked, prioritised and measured.
2. Ideas recorded promptly and adequately on IdeaNote means we can take immediate actions about them.
3. Because many of their ideas result in actions, our team members now feel much more encouraged to contribute their thoughts. They think outside of the box and are more talkative on IdeaNote about solving our business challenges.
On top of this, IdeaNote has an excellent UI/UX and a very well thought out design. Not to mention the solution can be made entirely white-labelled too with CNAME!

Nachteile

These cons are accurate as of our usage currently Jan-2020:
1. Currently there is no granular settings for notification options
2. Currently we cannot "Make Featured" or "Force Rank" some chosen ideas
3. There is no progress indication or "decision" status for each Mission. It will be useful to be able to see some measurements of progress on each mission, as well as an ability to mark the "resolution" or "chosen ideas" for each mission.

The team is very responsive to users, though. I have communicated some issues with them and have always received almost instant responses. I am sure they have taken many user feedback to implement on the roadmap, so hopefully, these cons are in their radar and will be released as future features.

Vorteile

How it encourages the gathering and organizing of ideas by *mission*. This goal-oriented approach helps to keep the focus on the overarching objective of *solving problems*.

Next best: Ideanote's delightful customer service. Swift, responsive, and kind. It bodes well for their own success as a startup.

The onboarding process is also impressive and well thought out, considering that putting the tool to good use requires a patient understanding of how ideas may be categorized by missions and teams, rated internally (on a few different criteria, not just through Like votes), and then binned into and managed using Kanban-style roadmaps.

Nachteile

Ideanote is powerful, for how it enables the collection, sorting, ranking, and planned implementation of ideas, but some may prefer a simpler feedback gathering and roadmap management tool.

Vorteile

I have about a zillion ideas in my head at any one time, and I was looking for a way to not only capture them somewhere so I wouldn't forget them, but also to try and develop and improve them.

I also wanted a way to involve my colleagues and get feedback and input from my current and potential clients. Ideanote let's me do all that easily. And I do mean easily. I think I had my first few ideas captured within about 5 minutes - without ever reading a tutorial.

The customer service has been outstanding so far, answering my few questions quickly and clearly. The onboarding was smooth and speedy and the interface is clean, both graphically and logically so I can see what I've done and where to put my ideas without thinking too much about it.

I'd much rather be concentrating on my ideas than on how to get them into the software, and because everything is so intuitive, that's exactly what happens.

I especially love that I have the possibility of embedding a request for ideas into my website - that way I can engage with and get feedback from my visitors. That's a huge benefit to me. It's so much more interactive than just offering a survey. I can go deep and discover new needs and new issues that I wouldn't otherwise know about.

Nachteile

I'd love a little more flexibility in renaming some things. I want Missions to be called something else, perhaps Issues, or Burning Fixes or whatever I choose for that particular audience issue.

Vorteile

You may have the best software tool on earth but if you don't count with the support of their creators there isn't much you can do moving ahead.

The people behind Ideanote are one of the best support experiences I ever have. Not just the help or support tools they may already have available online. As a client you count with the option to do a virtual face-to-face support with them which, I found invaluable and that tells you their passion and commitment to help.

Plus, their tool is indeed one of the best I ever seen to innovate ideas that you and your team may have been working on. No more having to share ideas on emails where they get lost with other emails, or ideas lost on virtual conversations where each team member is taking its own notes and are lost in notebook papers, post-it or other tools, etc. Ideanote comes precisely to rescue in that sense! You have your own central hub for ideas and you just expand and grow from there!

I recently started to use the tool and already had my one-on-one support video call that proof to be so helpful, that I'm feeling even more excited of what I could accomplish with Ideanote!

Alfredo

Nachteile

I haven't found any that I could nail down yet.

Vorteile

I am that dude that is always working on a new idea and I usually use a combination of a bunch of software to not only keep track of my ideas, their progress but also to get feedback. Ideanote is a gamechanger for me! Not only for myself but for my entire team. The ease of use and the ability to easily collaborate with my team to refine idea is simply mind-blowing and every single steps gets tracked.

Our social enterprise works a lot within community so the potential of this tool to also help us gather feedback from the community is limitless as it allows us to collect feedback and ideas outside of our organization with limited hassle for our community. I am excited to use ideanote to its full potential!

Nachteile

It is really hard to say. I think the limit on the storage space which is 50 GB is something but really we will definitely not reach that but you can also link external files to easily avoid reaching that limit. We don't deal with a lot of heavy files in our day to day and when they are that heavy, we will just store them in our google drive.

Vorteile

The price is just perfect for what it offers. Other players are umpayable for small business, so is a great deal.

Nachteile

Should improve the speed of reload, but in real use, is a great solution for the price.

Vorteile

I'm excited to ignite the innovation on my team with this easy-to-use, fun, and interactive platform. As someone who works with a remote team (we are all in different states/time zones), the ability to collaborate with each other in such a fun and intuitive way is worth its weight in gold. The platform is easy to understand and navigate thanks to all the helpful tutorial videos.

Nachteile

I would love to see a quick-start option for someone who is on my team, but is too busy at the moment to set up everything. I'd like her to be able to add an idea without having to jump through the set-up hoops...and then be able to set-up her profile later.

Warum Ideanote gewählt wurde

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Ideanote

Vorteile

In an era where open innovation is encouraged, idea management apps are a good proposition. Ideanote delivers what it promises. It's UI is clean and offers an easy to follow user experience. It can be utilized as an idea sharing portal or you can embed specific questions to your website to collect ideas from your visitors.
I find the ability to bring our internal team together with our external stakeholders valuable. White labeling and customization options are important for strengthening the team identity and encouraging participation. Finally, Ideanote provides a high level of customer service.

Nachteile

The cost may be too high for small businesses. They could consider offering special pricing for startups in the future. Today's small teams and entrepreneurs may become the enterprises of tomorrow, and both segments are Ideanote's target market.

Vorteile

I love the multi-faceted and cross-pollination capabilities of the platform. So you can be ambitious in addressing multiplicity of topics and/or audiences (internal, external), and drive consultation and collaboration across sectors that often don’t talk to each other or find it difficult. Also surprises with flexible and polyvalent widgets that allow to collect feedback on external landing pages/websites, either from customers if product developers, students if course teacher, etc.

I also like that it doesn’t impose a concrete philosophy of managing either ideas or collaborators so you see the design is geared with pragmatism and respect for different scenarios in real life, also projecting great respect for user’s judgment and needs. So, for instance, you can design initiatives where to review ideas first or accept all without filter; also you can can opt for total flat hierarchical organization or instead create conditions for access -useful for confidentiality.

It’s made to scale up and thinking big and far, so great for international consultations that can be narrow down by regions in second rounds of innovation projects through the benefit of insight that analytical maps of impact showcase. Love this layering potential!

Nachteile

It is great that you can use the platform in different languages, although I’d like to be able to further customize language by missions or teams. This would facilitate simultaneous initiatives across different speaking audiences.

Vorteile

Really simple to set up and not hard for team members to join either.

The SSO integration makes it pretty easy, less passwords to remember.

Capturing innovations is quite nice, and I like the built in data analytics features (especially when you can visualise where the ideas came from, from what countries etc.)

It makes giving feedback from clients seem much more like a contribution rather than a chore.

The ability to whitelabel using CNAME was also very helpful for branding (adds that little bit extra for clients).

Nachteile

I feel as if the software is still being developed, and is in the process of being refined. Something definitely to focus on in the future would be more documentation on an API, especially for automating data extraction but these are just nice to haves.

Vorteile

because I have a creative team and the contents are all young people ... so it is very helpful to pour all the ideas here ... and we can see which ones have the most interactions and that goes to the next stage ... amazing!

Nachteile

some features such as email all users still appear in the idea ... because if we are set to public a mission, the email user will be seen by others ...

even though if there is a public menu, I really take care of user privacy ... so it's best to hide ..

Likewise when you want mentions, private features should not appear when mentions, so the public can only mentions users in the mission alone

Vorteile

The simplicity of use as well and the focus on one core customer problem - executed really well.

Nachteile

It's more of a preference than anything else, but the pricing is geared for developed countries, not for developing countries - where this product would really be useful.

Also, the limited amount of users that can use the system makes it counter-productive for consulting agencies to use in large ideation sessions - but I believe a workaround is on the product roadmap..

Vorteile

Based on my personal experience on the platform, what I like is:

1. Capacity to scale
2. Simple to use
3. Fully functional idea-innovation management
4. User control of idea sharing i.e public or private, internal or external, local or Global etc
5. Courteous, generous, and responsive support team
6. Great analytics and reporting dashboards.

All I can say, is you need to use it to believe the value of this product in your journey of creating a more inclusive workplace and generating ideas to enhance your work and work culture.

Nachteile

What do you dislike?

1. Emails cannot be fully white-labeled.
2. Templates displayed on the ideanote.io site, cannot be directly imported into the workspace.
3. Rating does not include custom parameters or we cannot have a forced ranking of ideas.
4. Admin access is limited. No control over defining default sharing settings for teams or workspace.

Vorteile

I really loved this app, I find it really fun and simple to use. It is well designed, very creative and user friendly. There is a lot of thought that has been put into creating features from simple idea management to more more complex tasks. it is quite easy to add new topics for discussion and also for guests to add comments. It has expanded how I can work with my ideas, and I have found that getting further input and comments from people I know and work with has allowed me to speed up my conceptualisation and planning. it is just what I needed in this time of restrictions to find new innovative ways to create products that add value.

Nachteile

Only thing I’d like to see also on it is a notification system to deliver notifications on changes to any project faster as this was a bit lagging. But still Loving the system.

Vorteile

- guest invitation, commenting and voting
- idea segmentation
- project folders
- tagging and linking
- active development
- customization with images
- performance reports

Nachteile

- could use some visualization that displays live acitvity during the ideation
- none other

Vorteile

Outstanding way of collecting ideas from all layers by your staff and other stakeholders, even your customers/potential customers. I’m planning to use Ideanote to gather customer ideas. The tools are very simple to work with, you just need to create a project, and ask a question. You can illustrate the page where your question is displayed, then you just must share the link with the people of your choice and to wait for their answers and ideas. This product has enormous potential. The people behind Ideanote are very responsive to new suggestions. It's important to listen to your customers, members or employees.

Nachteile

Cannot think of any. Well, although interface adapted into most known world languages, Finnish and Swedish were still missing ;-)

Simple UI and mission centre for organizing everyone's ideas. The analytics section looks very powerful however I've just started with my journey so haven't been able to populate my org with data just yet.

The ability to share ideas as separate landing pages and allow for public and/or private views based on permissions really open up a lot of great use cases, also.

Nachteile

I feel there may be difficulty to get buy in from stakeholders. Not something Ideanote has control over however like a lot of technology it requires use from people in order for the features to flourish.

Ideanote did provide me a guide after a one on one demo to show how to optimize the implementation process, and this has some great tips!

Vorteile

The UI is gorgeous. And the UX makes it so easy to navigate around. Most of the options are self-explanatory. There is a very slight learning curve. Within minutes of signing up for an a/c I was able to find out how to map my creativity by creating missions and adding ideas to them. I can't wait to invite my team and customers and have them populate the site with ideas.

Nachteile

I would like to see an integration with my favorite project management tool: Niftypm.

Vorteile

The software was unbelievably well designed and what appears as a lot of whitespace initially is there for a reason. There is no clutter except the clutter that you make as you slowly pull each idea from your mind, whether ordinary or amazing, it comes out. From a leaders perspective, the structure of the Software helps you word your problem or painpoint articulately and encourages your team or selected brainstrust to run with your issue and come up with fantastic solutions. Your group can be anything from yourself tosome rediculous number that I will never have at my fingertips.

Nachteile

As I mentioned in the Pros, at first the software was very bland in the sense that there was a lot of whitespace but this changes very soon the second you start populating your ideas and getting input from other team members.

Vorteile

First of all, I really liked the user interface. Modern, clean and efficient.
Ideanote is truly an innovation. I never thought that such a tool could exist. At first I was reluctant but when I signed up for free I was able to test Ideanote for 14 days and understood its power and usefulness.
Today, I use it internally to develop our ideas but also to collect ideas from our clients.

Ideanote is really easy to use, you just need to create a project and ask a question. Then share the link with the members of your team, the people of your choice or your customers and prospects and collect their answers and ideas.
If you wanted to innovate and stay tuned to your target audience then do not hesitate to order this application. I am sure you will not be disappointed!

Nachteile

Some French translations to improve. But I'm sure the Ideanote team will do whatever it takes to correct this

Vorteile

I've used several note and idea tools. I never thought I needed one like it. It's next level and takes idea management to a new level.

Nachteile

It can take a bit getting used to at first just like any new tool. But once you get the hang it, you will be flowing and with new ideas with your staff, team members and even your customers.

Vorteile

Very easy to get started. Create Mission, Share mission with audience, Collect ideas.. simple as that!
Managing ideas using the Kanban style format is one of my favorite features.
Overall the UI is easy to navigate and looks clean.
The development team is very open to feature requests! I love that.

Nachteile

Missing a few features I would love to see. I am sure the team will get it all implemented as per their product roadmap. There is nothing in the current feature set that I am not a fan of. Everything is there for a reason and it does it work beautifully.

Vorteile

There are a ton of customization settings to create the perfect brainstorm sessions (called 'Missions in the app) and collect feedback to fine-time your ideas.

Nachteile

If you have multiple projects and want to separate them in the application you'll need to purchase a subscription for each project that you want to separate in their own dashboard.
