Ideawake

Vorteile

Quite simply: Ideawake combines all of the most desirable features the competitors miss in one way or another (and likely a much higher price).

What I like best is Ideawake is set to scale with your company - NOT built to be a one-size / one price / consulting required solution.

Vorteile

Price, ease of use, customer support and guidance for the launch of the platform.
The platform works just as well for internal ideation and for external open innovation programs.

Nachteile

Lacking some customization capabilities

Vorteile

Nice to see other people's projects and what they are working on.

Nachteile

Kind of confusing to navigate the website

Vorteile

Whenever we have meetings with the creative and technical departments, we are always brainstorming about ideas. I call it the meeting with the greatest minds because I’m always learning something new. It keeps me motivated to work better. Ideawake is an amazing application that allows you to put this ideas into good use. We compile them together and see which ones we can apply to our work. We also use it for the outside consumers because they are the ones who can provide helpful advice. Their added features are project management, tracking and status developments. Such a useful software for everyone.

Nachteile

Haven’t encountered any problems so far, but I heard from my co-workers that they were not too happy with the customer service department because they had to wait for a long time to receive their reply for a certain issue. Other than that, a perfect 10.

Vorteile

The approach that allowed us to do with the workers of the different areas. The work environment improves substantially because they begin to understand that we work for common problems, that we are interested in improving the environment for all.

Nachteile

I liked the least is that there are many valuable individual ideas that can not be incorporated. In addition, it does not classify ideas or projects according to their viability. If we could incorporate a greater number of physical and engineering variables would give us the feasibility or discarding of ideas or projects at one time

Vorteile

Ideawake is the most "service as a software"-like company I've worked with. The team is deeply committed to ensuring that ideas are not just captured, but also VALIDATED (huge), and have a process for being tested and implemented. This makes a huge difference.

Nachteile

Nothing specifically comes to mind. Perhaps their UX/UI isn't as intuitive as some other platforms, but this wasn't a deal breaker for us.

Vorteile

This software save a lot of time in meetings within and outside the organization to find solutions and ideas and then evaluate them, because everything is made online in a very simple way with the tool

Nachteile

So far we haven't had problems with the tool

Vorteile

The product was SUPER easy to use. Loved the idea management aspects of the software and the visuals it provided.

Nachteile

Aesthetics/design could definitely be improved, it has a 2000's feel to it. However, functionally the software works great.

Vorteile

Good fit to gather input from target audience. Gamify feature set was attractive to keep respondents motivated.

Nachteile

Must have Admin driving the process, also target audience must be smartphone user or web user. Many of our hourly employees have not crossed the digital divide.

Vorteile

Ideawake makes it super easy to make my ideas heard and also collaborate with my coworkers.

Nachteile

I noticed you can't click "back" and navigate to the page you were on directly prior.

Vorteile

Easy for new users to use to get to the site.

Nachteile

No much it seems pretty simple for users. Only tried it once.

Vorteile

the navigation is easy, can accomodate a lot of ideas

Nachteile

some times gets confused in options .. but still this isnt something that we cant ,

Vorteile

The GUI is very easy to use and I love that others can collaborate for voting on items

Nachteile

I did not like the the position of the ideas changes so when I go to click a vote, a new item that I did not mean to click pops up.

Vorteile

I like that Ideawake allows us to build teams around ideas that are engaged in the benefit behind it easily, and work the idea through prioritization through to completion collaboratively.

Nachteile

At times it can be difficult to find the idea listings you are searching for, as you need to drill in a bit.

Vorteile

Ideawake is very intuitive to use and democratizes idea generation.

Nachteile

There is nothing I dislike about Ideawake.

Vorteile

This platform makes it easy for users to submit their ideas and for those ideas to be discussed between teams.

Nachteile

Sometimes it feels like ideas get lost. However, theyre easy to see and trace them if youre missing one.

Vorteile

Easy to use interface and good overall experience

Nachteile

N/a I didn’t see anything that could be improved

Vorteile

It is very visually user friendly and easy to navigate.

Nachteile

So far, I have no complaints. I will make note of any future experience

Vorteile

Lots of options to customize and communicate with others about their projects/ideas

Nachteile

A little confusing to navigate. I feel like the set up of the page is confusing right away but the more I work with it the more familiar I am with it

Vorteile

I like the user-driven interface and the app-style interaction of the software. It keeps me engaged and keeps me involved in the idea process.

Nachteile

So far, there is a functional error in tagging ideas (there are only three tags available, I can't add any, and the tags available aren't really related to the focus)

Vorteile

Real-time updates and collaboration features

Nachteile

Sometimes not as intuitive to navigate as I'd like.

Vorteile

Ease of use in a broad platform to share and develop ideas!

Nachteile

No complaints! The software is easy to use!

Vorteile

Useful platform to consolidate ideas and score them efficiently.

Nachteile

When scoring would be good to be able to see ideas already scored alongside current idea you are scoring for benchmarking.

Vorteile

Ideawake makes it easy to share ideas online.

Nachteile

It's fine overall. I really don't have any complaints.

Vorteile

I enjoy the interface and ease of use of the platform. It has enabled our staff to think about their problems differently and provide potential solutions.

Vorteile

I love this platform for managing projects within my program. I run a Nurse Residency Program 200+ nurses each year and have them work on quality improvement or EBP projects to positively impact patient and nursing outcomes. The platform allows multiple people to post and interact on the project while maintaining consistency and project standardization. The customizable stages guide the nurses through each stage of the project seamlessly. It visibility also allows organizational leaders to view the projects and interact through providing comments, suggestions, or simply encouragement. This virtual option is user friendly, environment friendly, and allows for a sustainable option for promoting innovation for nursing.

Nachteile

I do not have anything I do not like about the platform. It is a useful program and the customer service is so amazing that I have no complaints.

Vorteile

Only first step is good to capture the idea.
Reports are good.

Nachteile

After idea capturing, it looses the track.
Work flow and the dashboard sequence do not match.
Every process step i.e. evaluation, approval, implementation etc, need to have separate screen to understand.
Date and time stamp with completion process is required for each sequence and it is missing.
At the same time real time updating is not visible, every time i need to refresh it to see the effect.
Idea system should be integrated with the KAIZEN, IPR and Big project systems.
It shall be integrated with the TPM pillar concept to have good integration.

Vorteile

I really like how ideas are managed through implementation in the tool. It is easy to vote and find out how far the ideas has gone in the process. The ability to comment and like in the early phases is awesome as well to understand impact.

Nachteile

I think our instance may just be segmented/configured in such a way where it is easier to find an idea if I remember the event it was discovered. I guess the point is I'm not sure if I've ever seen any documentation about how to search for an idea I've voted for every single time.

Vorteile

I like how easy it is to post and collaborate ideas.

Nachteile

Sometimes I can't open multiple tabs for different sections

Vorteile

comunication whit other team form other state

Nachteile

N/A i think everything is perfect and nice

Vorteile

Ideawake gives all employees the ability to have their ideas heard..

Nachteile

The ability to remain anonymous if there is something that you would like to submit but do not want others to see it was you that suggested it.

Vorteile

Ease of use is one of the best features along side the friendly interface. I haven't seen a better interface.

Nachteile

Sometime it just goes back to the homepage

Vorteile

Very good concept and each and each individual of the organisation can see the idea and gets motivated by others.

Nachteile

Seeing the number of ideas given by each individual from all the department is very encouraging.

Vorteile

It is user friendly. Navigating through Ideas, voting, commenting and sharing are some good Features. Also, the interface is good.

Nachteile

I think there should be a feature where innovator club members who are also the moderator should not get the visibility of name of the idea owners, as it can lead to biasness. Also, I guess the people who are buying this platform should have fleaxinility to change the wire frame according to their quality of employees.

Vorteile

a way to get ideas in front of people who could actually make it happen

Nachteile

Many of the ideas that I see submitted make no sense / are already part of the product / are unfeasable / are not good ideas

Vorteile

Ease of use. Having all ideas together is useful

Nachteile

Platform layout could be more user friendly

Vorteile

Ideawake makes it easy to share and promote great ideas in our organization

Nachteile

nothing. it's great. for real. i dig it.

Vorteile

Very easy to add new ideas to a board, sort, and rank them.

Nachteile

No notable negative features. It's met all expectations.

Vorteile

I like being able to share my ideas across a large company.

Nachteile

I don't have anything that I don't like about it but I have limited experience using it.

Vorteile

Ease of use was simple. I can easily see other's ideas as well.

Nachteile

I have not gotten to use the product enough to comment on this.

Vorteile

I love that we can input ideas and we get responses on our request in a timely manner.

Nachteile

I haven't found any i dont like as of yet.

Vorteile

Great way to communicate with upper management

Nachteile

All is good. THe program works as well as is needed.

Vorteile

It really is an easy way to share ideas across the company.

Nachteile

I have not come across any functionality I didn't like.

Vorteile

Ideawake is a great way to enhance creativity. It has helped individuals within our company and teams generate more creative and innovative ideas. This is due to the engaging component behind Ideawake as well. The top reason I love this software is the increased and enhanced collaboration that it provides. SSO is a great way to improve security by reducing the risk of password related breaches. This is such a great feature! The Idea ranking system is a great feature to focus resources, improve decision making, and continuity promote new and innovated ideas within our company.

Nachteile

Currently I have not experiences and cons or even concerns with this software as a user.

Vorteile

Ideawake is easy to use and allows employees to use their innovation skills.

Nachteile

I believe the format could be improved. The Idea posted format could be more clear.

Vorteile

1. User-friendly interface and social features make idea crowdsourcing through Ideawake an engaging and almost effortless experience.
2. Workflow setup feature was intuitive and allowed for customized management of our innovation pipeline
3. Responsive and dedicated support team

Nachteile

1. There is room for improvement in the range of options available for providing feedback to participants, which is currently limited to email notification.
2. The ability to conduct deep-dive analytics for a pool of ideas post-evaluation within the platform is lacking. Improvement in this domain would save time and enhance decision making capacity.

Vorteile

It allows m to feel heard by my company , knowing that my ideas could be the new normal brigs a joy to my job .

Nachteile

Push emails about my post and post i comment on would be a great improvement to the site.

Vorteile

This program is a great collection center to have for gathering ideas and funneling them into one place to be viewed by one and all for an organization. It helps an organization to innovate and grow by utilizing their current knowledgeable staff as well as their newly acquired talent. Instead of having to submit stacks of paper documents, graphs and spreadsheets and any other documents that were needed when submitting an idea like in the good old days in years past and having to worry that some of the documents will get separated or misplaced, Ideawake allows you to put all your files into one area where the end user can find them at any time. The other nice option that is offered is that as a user who submits ideas, they have the capability to follow their idea, as well as others, and see where it is in the approval process as well as who is handling the idea. Overall, this software has helped the employees of our own Firm to contribute a wealth of ideas to those who can help us to make change happen.

Nachteile

Technicality wise I do not feel that there are really any Cons. My only issue with the idea of submitting information of this type of substance via electronically is that it removes the one-on-one connection that is built when working with a person. Trust is formed when interacting with a person over a period of time. And when interacting with a person about an idea, you are both able to discuss it and view it from different perspectives, which can generate more ideas, which can improve upon your idea or point out an area in which you need to shore up a weak spot in your idea. Communication is an important component in not only business but also in creation and innovation. So while this product is a fabulous tool to utilize, please do not forget that communicating with others is still important in developing and implementation.

Vorteile

It's easy for idea challenge participants to access the site through single sign-on, contribute ideas and interact with others by leaving comments or upvoting other people's ideas. One "complaint" we got from an early challenge was that it was so easy, people thought there had to be something wrong. Another huge benefit is its accessibility outside the network. Health care workers don't have extra time to use networked computers, so Ideawake makes it easy to engage with them on the smartphones, tablets or any computer.

Nachteile

The current version is a bit tricky to set up challenges, but the Ideawake team is very accessible and hugely helpful, so we lean on them for back-end help. Once an idea challenge launches, we can typically troubleshoot most issues. I have seen a demo of the next platform, which will make it easier for administrators, so this shouldn't be as much of an issue.

Vorteile

Integration of software was easy, and as administrator, I've always had the support I need to set things up for our challenges. We've increased our employee engagement by 12% using this tool!!!

Nachteile

Ideawake has added many features since our initial launch in 2018; due to this, I don't have any complaints about the software.
