Speakap

Vorteile

The implementation is the key to success. There are alternatives, but as far as I know is Speakap is the only one who really understand the importance of a smooth implementation and onboarding. Therefor employees of Speakap are helping with the actual onboarding, the customizing of the app and helping with a strategy for content. Speakap is easy to use and the service is excellent. Not an anonymous software product but a partner who really knows their customers.

Nachteile

There are just a few reporting options, it would be nice to have more insights. Furthermore, the synchronisation between our Active Directory and Speakap is not fully automated. We started wit CSV exchange, the API possibilities are not fully developed.

Vorteile

It is easy to use and really engages with staff members

Nachteile

Some team members are too active in the tool

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Speakap

Vorteile

It is very easy to use. Even for people who are not very familiar with computers.

Nachteile

Not many features to personalize the software (what you see is what you get)

Vorteile

Great way to get all employees to connect and ask questions. It is nice that management can respond directly to the employees if they have questions. It is also fun to see everyones experience on the road.

I also like that the weekly message and other "call" like updates are written out so that people can read them without having to call. Seems that the message may reach more people that way.

Nachteile

As with any personalized software, there're are going to be growing pains. Some of the features on the mobile app take a little bit of getting used to. Such as trying to like a post, half the time it asks you if you want to report the post instead of actually liking the post. This is due to the sensitivity of the heart icon. There were growing pains in the beginning with posting videos, however this got resolved quickly. It takes a little bit of time to figure out where all the groups are. Experience from helping people on the road that are un familiar with social media platforms, explaining where the groups are and how to use them and how they correlate to the timeline has made some of them confused. However I think that in the long run they seem to understand it.

I did find it difficult to find the specific fleet that is assigned to each pilot within Jetstream. After a little help from above we found it. It takes a bit of searching to find it.

Vorteile

Speakap have been great working with us on the implementation and roll out of the system. A good tool to connect with remote workers. Accessible to all employees and partners but secure and controlled. Simple to use and quick to pick up. Groups help people talk about shared interests (training, tips, FAQ’s ect).

Nachteile

As mentioned in other reviews the reporting is a little lacking and some features are only available on the iPhone App (this will change). Needs a bit more depth in the features (no polls or surveys for example) but im confident these will be coming to the app soon!

Vorteile

We have a variety of disparate tools and applications. Like how Speakap can bolt on top and be used as a front end to all of the other applications. A great way to engage an audience outside of your normal network on their mobile phones. Like how it easily integrates with enterprise software like Workday. Plus they've figured out a way to deal with mobile usage legal requirements in states like California

Nachteile

It's an adding another tool to our system but how it can serve as a front end with seamless user experience far outweighs any negatives

Vorteile

This platform is super intuitive. We went through a couple other platforms in our search for the right one and this one seemed to be the easiest for our users! Most people were able to figure it out right off the bat. It has made internal communication easy and fun!

Nachteile

There are a couple of features that we noted wanting to have, however, Speakap does have most of these on its roadmap for the future!

Vorteile

Speakap is an effective and efficient way to communicate with everyone, in every department at every location. It is a single channel of communication that enables us to reach everyone in our organisation immediately.

Nachteile

At the moment, I am also being asked a lot of technical questions as an administrator, but it would be useful if my colleagues could ask a helpdesk at speakap directly to help them further. Currently, the maintenance takes a lot of time. Also it is a lot of work to add new users to the platform.

Vorteile

It helpt to get your employees invoved by your company in na easy way!

Nachteile

The Numbers of MB when posting a movie!

Vorteile

We are new to SpeakAp, but so far, initial design, build, & customer service has been impeccable, rollout was easy, and we had rapid attachment and use by our employees. Because the platform is familiar to social media users, implementation was easier than most systems. With white labeling, users adopt the platform as their own and they've been quick to use it for communication and centralized resources. All this from a very cost effective platform.

Nachteile

We're new to the product--thus far, no serious cons identified

Vorteile

IT is very safe to use and protect your data, I also like the schedule feature that allow us to plan our working time for the whole month with the work colleagues. In addition speakap doesnt bother the user with constantly updatings and notifications.

Nachteile

limited data on use (statistics per location for example)
No buttons to share with more locations/groups (should be possible with a formal approval of the author)

Vorteile

This software is easy to use and has good features to be able to set-up structures in line with our organisation hierarchy, and specialist groups for specific content types. The employee set-up process is easy and easy to post news items and on the timeline. There are features for private messaging which is really useful.
The company specific branding has been key to the launch and ongoing engagement with the app.

It would be good to be able to see statistics and analytics in Real Time

Some features are not available for Android users. We use the software to improve communication on a retail level and a lot of employees have Android mobile software. By the way, the company is working on it and I'm waiting for new releases to face off to these bugs.
