Qmarkets

Pros: I like how configurable the backend is. Most platforms don't provide access to configuration tools, but QMarkets does. I haven't run into a use case or feature that hasn't been able to be supported by QIdeate.

Cons: The UI for general users could be more intuitive and campaigns could be more feature rich with regard to things like campaign presentation as well as collaboration and team formation. QMarkets defines collaboration as commenting and voting whereas we view collaboration as working together to make ideas stronger. We would like to see more of the latter.

Pros: The idea plattform is easy to navigate and very intuitive. Also there are various options for individual settings. The Qmarkets team always gives good advice - not only in terms of technical administration but also in terms of strategical advice.

Cons: Because of our desire to individualize the system towards our needs, responses from the Qmarkets team sometimes take a bit long. But if you contact them again, you mostly get a fast answer.

Pros: As administrator I like the amount of customization available in the platform. It is natural that the more customization, the more there is to learn about the platform but once you know what you need to, it supercharges what you can achieve through it. Our customer success manager is available to show us how to do something and share best practice. Having worked with and implemented several idea management platforms, this is my best experience to date. Integration was seamless with no issues. Great product.

Cons: It is hard to point our anything that is missing at this price point. It is also too early on to say what might be missing - having run several campaigns already we have not identified any limitations and QMarkets is always keen to help or develop solutions to any issues or ideas we have.

Pros: Q-Markets has a very good, competent and direct Customer support. Offer many individualisation features for preferences of their customers. Very good look and feel of the software.

Cons: The navigation within the settings is quite complex and not always intuitive. To get to right setting sometimes it needs many clicks.

Pros: The software offers a high level aus automation which makes it much easier for campaign managers to do their job. Old ideas can easily be found again and new ideas are automatically compared to old ones which is a very convenient feature.

Cons: From a management point of view it's not always obvious what the implications of some actions are. A better documentation for campaign managers would already go a long way. Lot's of features are there but a bit hidden.

Pros: You don't have to have your innovation strategy completely thought-out before you can get immediate benefits from Qmarkets Idea Management. In face, the software helps you to powerfully engage collaboration among stakeholders and experts in growing a culture of innovation in your company. In this time of pandemic, with much of our engineering staff being a virtual workforce, I am glad we have this product to enable aggressive virtual collaboration-- including running campaigns for mitigating the effects of COVID-19 beyond Ford Motor Company to the general public.

Cons: This is not a "con," more of an advisory that the software enables top-down and bottom-up engagement of vision (from the top) and needs/opportunities (from the bottom). It would be a palliative to expect Qmarkets software to create innovation-- it is a powerful tool for the implementation of a strategy for enabling innovation.

Pros: i really like how much qmarkets is easy to use, and this is important to increase the use of the platform.

Cons: i'd like to have more possibility to filter and categorize the different ideas

Pros: The Qmarkets product has a wide array of features and flexibility for all of your innovation and idea management needs. The team at Qmarkets is very helpful with setup and support, partnering with you to configure an easy to use yet very robust system.

Cons: Remember that when implementing an idea management system that success is highly dependent on the culture of the company. Make sure that you have solid executive support and an overall company culture that is ready for a modern idea management system.

Pros: The ability to interact with other peoples' ideas.

Cons: Training was a little complex. We found it easy enough to get the software working to our requirements very quickly, but the training felt like we were learning to run before we could walk.

Pros: We like the predefined workflows and the transparency of the overall process very much. Configuration is easy and we can provide a great usability to all our employees. The support is excellent!

Cons: We would like more campaign related flexibility in term defining forms. The translation tool could be much better. Auto translation is nice, but not 100% correctly. Qmarkets should design an easy to use overall reporting tool, because not all of our reporting needs are met.

Pros: $77

Cons: Initially, we were concerned that a full-blown platform would be too much for our needs, especially such a feature-rich solution. However, we found that the Qmarkets offering addressed our needs very elegantly, allowing us to start out small and basic before gradually adding more functionality and complexity. This made our roll out a big success.

Pros: professional, vast possibilities, easy to configure

Cons: more content oriented than people oriented

Pros: The software is user-friendly and matches the social media that many people are familiar with. It's easy to customize overall, even in the most complex changes thanks to efficient support

Cons: Absence of an updated app, even if the sowtware is completely responsive web design

Pros: The software is user friendly, and allows companies to collect in a smart and fast way a lot of new ideas. Furthermore, it's easy to manage the ideas.

Cons: I would like ALSO some statistics user-oriented and not only ideas-oriented.

Pros: Flexible, excellent graphics management, easy to use, easy to customize. Has everything needed to shape an idea

Cons: So far I do not find deficiencies in the software

Pros: The platform is fully customizable to your needs (workflow, look & feel, special requests, ...) and the team really thinks with you to provide you with suitable solutions. They are flexible and very quick to answer your questions or to fix problems

Cons: The Dutch translation was really bad. We have just started to work with the software, so far we did not encounter any issues and the software is easy to work with.

Pros: highly configurable software, Easy exchanges with the Qmarkets team. Listen to the Customer with reactivity

Cons: Regression of the software from time to time (related to upgrades?) French translations that are not optimal

Pros: A brilliant team always listening and helping you. A multifaceted product, adaptable, customizable and ergonomic.

Cons: Nothing really : every improvement was possible very quickly. Perhaps some outputs, that were difficult for us to manage, but the team was always helpful

Pros: Fast setup for a project, easy to modify, ease of use, team catches on quick how to use it. Simple to add users and generate results.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Functionality, Flexibility and pricing are something we were impressed with when making the slection for our customer

Cons: NA. havent found any negative to comment as the product and thier teams have been very flexible and competent

Pros: It is a robust platform with all the functionality my clients need for running high impact internal and open innovation campaigns

Cons: Qmarkets have improved the look and feel for their platform over the years, so now the user interface is inviting and easy to use.

Pros: It's easy to use. Idea submission is short and to the point. Most of our new team members pick it up really fast.

Cons: Tracking the history of an idea can sometimes be difficult to follow. Especially when several people have been assigned to evaluate an idea.

Pros: Qmarkets' famous flexibility has really impressed us from day one. Not only in terms of the platform functionality, but also in the approach taken by the Qmarkets team themsleves. The workflow requirements of our client were quite complex to begin with, and had to be adjusted several times throughout the process. However our requests were always handled quickly and professionally by the relevant team members. The support we received in ensuring the success of this project was second-to-none. As for features, the engagement tools really helped us to keep participation rates at a high, and the automated email alerts and reminders kept the whole team up to date. Reporting was also strong, with the team developing a custom dashboard to highlight our unqiue KPIs. All in all we have been very satisfied with our experience using this software, and would highly recommend other companies with mature innovation programs to choose Qmarkets.

Cons: While Qmarkets does offer project management functionality built in to the platform, for us it wasn't quite as powerful as our existing purpose-built project management software. However, Qmarkets was actually able to integrate directly into our PPM software so in the end we had the best of both worlds. Another downside was the mobile version of the platform which at times performed badly. However since our last project we understand that Qmarkets has released a new responsive version of the software which is optimized for use across all devices, including mobile.
