Igloo

Vorteile

Its most important feature is its ability to combine with other daily office apps, its ability to combine with Office 365 tools is exceptionally developed and can be accessed from Igloo seamlessly and in a way that makes the user able to manage all their work from a central platform that has the features and needs of the user and no more, you have quick access to important information, key people and work procedures.

Nachteile

Like many Internet services and extensive add-ons, it has a large number of tools and resources that leave the user with no knowledge of the administration interface, which results in some problems at startup. The first use of this service was at the time of the presentation.

Vorteile

Great Customer Service, very responsive company, easy to use product

Nachteile

Hoping they include "the ability to communicate and have face time" with our team within your own space in the near future.

Vorteile

It's an ok product to use as a file repository, but it's too basic once you reach certain complex requirements

Nachteile

The notifications are very poor. Calendar requests get lost in ether and it's not very user friendly

Vorteile

Igloo offers a robust feature set. Their customer service team is responsive, knowledegable, and helpful.

Nachteile

The knowledge base does a good job of explaining the basics, but could be more thorough. I often have to search through customer forums to find the solution to a question or issue that I assumed would be covered by standard knowledge base information.

Vorteile

The personal consulting from Igloo and customization were key to helping our organization scale our intranet/portal. The app is super simple to use, and integrates our global calendars, events planning tools, and other resources so perfectly for our fast-paced environment!

Nachteile

The people directory feature is not quite as nimble as I imagined it'd be for an organization of 700+ employees. We have a somewhat unique structure and it's been challenging to figure out how to look up teams, leaders and locations effectively. It would also be great to be able to add contact cards directly to my mobile device from the directory feature.

Vorteile

Igloo comes ready out of the box for you to use it. It contains the basic tools for you to get an intranet up and running quickly. The product contains "solutions" that you can plug in for many common business functions like Employee Onboarding, Company News, Department Site, Project Sites. There is no technical complexity to getting the software up and running, its all about communication and change management within your organization.

Nachteile

There isn't much not to like about this product. It deploys quickly and easily. If anything I would say that they could build out the integrations a bit more.

Vorteile

It typically doesn't require many steps to perform the most common operations. It is also helpful that Igloo supports a variety of file types.

Nachteile

Some of this comes with working with the application I realize, but I wish you could find a way to make versioning more transparent. I recently received some helpful instruction from a fellow employee about uploading a more recent version of a document without having to delete the prior document and running the risk of messing up the path/location of the document (important because other departments link to that document from their own Igloo pages). After right-clicking, I realized how obvious the step was, but I wish there had been a way to show this on the page; I'll keep working with Igloo on this.

Vorteile

We have a large department that continually collaborates on certain files and folders in Igloo, so the fact that we can reserve or archive old material or versions is extremely helpful. I also really enjoy the fact that you can edit a document in word, powerpoint, or excel without the hassle of downloading a new version; you can simply open a document and save in one motion.

Nachteile

As easy as it is to use, sometimes it is too simple. Would like it to be more complex when designing pages, but it still looks great.

Vorteile

We are in the implementation phase but so far it's extremely user-friendly and the features are easily adjusted based on size and scope of project.

Vorteile

This software is useful I suggest to you should use it.

Nachteile

New feature are cool,you must use this.

We can use for increase of engament and collabration

Vorteile

Igloo is a simple, clean web based interface for project management and internal communication and collaboration. It offers a straight-forward approach to managing tasks and deliverables compared to other bloated services.

Nachteile

The last time I used Igloo, it could do with some additional project milestone and deliverable management features such as individual task assignment and progress updates.

Vorteile

The availability of information from all departments for our company.

Nachteile

There are no ntaifications when new posts are added for the different departments. I am also frustrated with the search feature and the non-existant date/time stamps. When researching past posts, I try to do keyward searches but nothing populates to suit my purpose. Also, when scrolling to "view more" I find it inconvenient notto see the actual date a post was made but rather "2 weeks ago" or "13 days ago". I am not liking the fact that I have to hunt through the different

Vorteile

Ability for all users in the community to maintain their own spaces.

Nachteile

Would like to see some future enhancements in the searching capability and other little areas of functionality.

Vorteile

Very easy to manage and maintain. The ease of use helps to win buy in from your users. 95% of our company is up and running with uploads, postings, blogs etc.

Nachteile

There are certain limitations to the software that makes it necessary for a more time consuming work -around. Igloo is working hard utilizing their Client Success resources to implement enhancements to address these limitations.

Vorteile

I use this software and i recommend to all .

Nachteile

It's easy to use and very reliable software

Vorteile

Ease of file upload. I like the broadcast functionality. Task workflow is good too at the document level.

Nachteile

I wish the viewing document box was bigger. I usually do download or edit document just to view the document in a larger size.
I know you can hover over the date a document was uploaded for details of date and time. I have many documents saved and frequently I like to search by the most recent date and time to find the document quicker rather than the alphabetic view.

Vorteile

One of my favourite things about Igloo is the support it gives on mobile devices. This has been an issue with other communication software, but not with Igloo.

Nachteile

The UI could use more functionalities, besides that it has been perfect.

Vorteile

Easy to use and manage. Excellent customer support and service. Great value for the money. Always improving their product.

Nachteile

There is very little to dislike about this software. It does everything our organization needs it to do with very little customization.

Vorteile

This is a great help on our duties. The feature that you can edit a document on MS office is a really great perk. This is a very easy to use software that we employees are able to utilize.

Nachteile

Looking up for some of the employees is difficult because we are somewhat thousands employed on our company. Still a good product on my opinion.

Vorteile

- Very easy to configure and deploy for your company
- Users can maintain their own personal sites/information
- Simple interface to add and modify information

Nachteile

- Not a fault of the software, but we had trouble with user buy-in that resulted in a slow ramp up process
- User resistance was due in part to no comprehensive tutorial on how to navigate and use Igloo.

Vorteile

A great tool for client collaboration and file sharing.

Nachteile

Complex usage for new users and bit slow customer support.

Vorteile

allowed our team to gather useful information in one place, which we could search for later if needed. No longer using individual documentation and moving between platforms.

Nachteile

so far I have not run into any cons. I really enjoy the way this functions and how it has helped my department. Maybe some of the setup was difficult at first, so be prepared for a slight learning curve.

Vorteile

The learning curve is friendly, it's easy to just get going but then there are many features that can be discovered as needed.

Nachteile

The UX is not always consistent across features so things that work one way in some places work another way in others.

Vorteile

The widgets are easy to use and there seem to be a steady flow of enhancements from Igloo

Nachteile

Other than the knowledge base and FAQs, there doesn't seem to be a comprehensive "how to" guide. It would be great if there were videos explaining some of the more complicated features.

Vorteile

The layout is super customizable and easy to use. We have tested a few different layouts and found what works best for us. I like how visitors can interact with posts and articles posted. It allows us to have a one-stop-shop for all internal content in regards to our company, different teams and office locations. It allows users to easily access this information in a clear, organized way.

Nachteile

Nothing negative stands out with Igloo yet! It has been a great transition for our company.

Vorteile

Deployed with very little support from our IT team. Business was able to stand this up very quickly. Fast adoption by employees. Need only a small team to administer it.

Nachteile

Does not integrate with gmail. Limited sales force integration.

Vorteile

The drag and drop feature is important to me.

Nachteile

It still doesn't have some very important integration features for me

Vorteile

Document management

Nachteile

Pictures are too small and can't click to view larger

Vorteile

Ease of use - straightforward interface

Nachteile

version control is a little funky

Vorteile

Igloo has everything - blogs, feeds, instant messaging, groups...etc. It really is full featured and can be customized anyway that works for your organization.

Igloo also looks fantastic. Even right out of the box, the software shines and has a very new look and feel.

Nachteile

Igloo is very hard to set up and you need to pay for a higher tier of service to really get hands-on help. Since it's so exceptionally customizable, it's hard to (1) determine the best way to set it up and (2) actually set it up.

Vorteile

Easy to use. It is very very responsive to all kind of devices. Tha best option to us in the markets.

Nachteile

It is very expensive, you need a credit card mandatorily and the prices are high!
If you are not involve in the business, I definitely not recommend it.

Vorteile

Too soon to tell.

Nachteile

Again not enough time to accurately answer.

Vorteile

ease of use

Nachteile

lack of online training to guide new employees through

Vorteile

Seem to have not to bad luck with it. pretty easy to use and understand

Nachteile

we have had not to many cons and issues with it
