HYPE Innovation

Pros: The flexibility of being able to manage our program the way we see fit. The workflow is in the eye of the beholder, allowing you to configure it to what works best to your needs. The data collection throughout the process with a wide range of data points is also a huge plus

Cons: With the flexibility comes with it having to learn and manage more about the platform. This is not necessarily a bad thing, just the nature of any platform that gives this more flexibility to do what you want

Pros: easy to use, colleagues really like it and it encourage idea collaboration

Cons: not covering complete idea management process

Pros: Workflow customization, easy of deployment/maintenance, user friendliness

Cons: UI customization is limited for some features, reporting could be improved

Pros: Planbox has all the features from idea aggregation, project management, to reporting that makes it a great solution for your Continuous Improvement program.

Cons: Room to roll out a more structured onboarding program.

Pros: Viima bietet die Möglichkeit, Ideen von allen Mitgliedern der Organisation zu erhalten, sie dann zu bewerten, zu kommentieren, zu gruppieren und zu klassifizieren, bevor sie umgesetzt werden. Die Integration all dieser Optionen in eine einzige Schnittstelle, auf die alle Mitarbeiter mit Zugang zur Anwendung zugreifen können und von der aus bestimmte Administratoren diese Ideen klassifizieren, zusammenführen und genehmigen/ablehnen können, ist die ideale Lösung für das Innovationsmanagement im Unternehmen. Die Möglichkeit, aus den bewerteten Ideen Analysen zu extrahieren, um eine globale Perspektive auf den Erfolg der innovativen Prozesse im Unternehmen zu erhalten, ist das i-Tüpfelchen dieser Software.

Cons: Es wäre wünschenswert, zusätzliche Funktionen in die Viima-Analytik einzubauen, um den Gewinn, der durch jede der umgesetzten Ideen erzielt wurde, genauer messen zu können.

Pros: Visually, our staff love this tool and the conversations that happen within an idea. It allows us to discover new pain points that may have been previously missed. Super easy to launch and use. Being able to create multiple boards has help smaller teams run internal hack events.

Cons: As the VIIMA team are constantly iterating new features are being released regularly. I love a 'next review date' but that is the project manager in me and not essential.

Pros: Viima is an excellent platform to achieve may business results when using it for Ideation, continuous improvement, open innovation and idea, strategy and innovation. You are able to customize for your needs not only for innovation and new business models but also for persuade efficiency in your core business. The app is very intuitive and easy to customize for your needs.

Cons: The platform is always improving with new functionalities. I hope it will be integrating in many other app in the near future.

Pros: It is very easy to understand, and even people with less technical interest got to use it very fast and enjoy using it.

Cons: The bubble are fun and colourful, it is not always clear why they keep changing position and the filter system is not always very visible.

Pros: Viima is the best platform for companies that are starting the innovation journey. Why? Ease of use, and great technical support.

Cons: The user interface needs improvement, but it's ok to start with.

Pros: It is easy to set up and easy to use both from an admin and from an user perspective. It is very clean and pleasant to look at and it's very intuitive. Adding ideas is quite easy and it has all the features we were looking for in terms of filtering ideas and engaging with ideas.

Cons: Some features can't really be customised. An example is the Impact assessment of the idea, which contains monetary/qualitative metrics only. The good thing is that due to Viima's good customer service, they always help us find a way around what doesn't suit us.

Pros: Defenetly the main characteristic is being really easy to use. With over 200 users in my division none experience trouble besides logging in for the first time. After a little step-by-step procedure they could start using the tool and collaborating without any problems.

Cons: Could have more customized fields to classify ideas, but it was something we could get around using hashtags

Pros: This tool is very easy to use. I don’t need much help when using the system but if I do, help is an email away and support gets everything done very quickly. The support team is very helpful.

Cons: The guides on the Helpdesk can be updated with new settings such as Cobalt. Many of my questions could be answered with these guides so I wouldn’t have to rely on support. The documents define the purpose of the features but they don’t explain how an administrator would use it.

Pros: This tool facilitates the participation of all staff in the generation and evaluation of ideas for the company

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

Pros: - Ease of use / simplicity - Engaging visualisation - Customization possibilities - Reporting and idea assessment capabilities - Mobile app

Cons: Nothing. Additional value to users could potentially be offered through further integrations (e.g. task mgmt tools) and even more customization possibilities.

Pros: The AI powering behind the scenes is useful and intelligent aiding in making workflows streamlined and seems to be a couple steps ahead of us oftentimes. The change tracking features also are helpful to keep everyone on the same page.

Cons: We need a helpdesk feature for most of our work and it does not have all the features we need.

Pros: Viima has been such an awesome tool for me and our team! While working across multiple time zones with partners all around the globe it is such a game changer to be able to have a collective idea party room. It's literally buzzing with energy around the clock as we are constantly popping in an out from our various cities and locations. This has been critical to actually executing on ideas which previously would fail to be followed up on!

Cons: There have been a couple of instances where one of our team members was not fully connected on the same page with everyone else. I am not sure if it was his location having any kind of filters but after a couple weeks he was fully integrated with us and rocking!

Pros: Innovation Central does exactly what it's supposed to do, and it does it well. If you're looking to solicit ideas from across your organization easily, manage the funnel of the best of those ideas (as picked by experts), and have people collaborate on those ideas, then you definitely should include Imaginatik's portal in your short list. The analytics and features for evaluating ideas are excellent. Licensing really varies in this space: Innovation Central is licensed by "instance," or how many concurrent challenges you can run, and is independent of the number of users. This works for some and not for others, and Imaginatik will likely work with you to help you find the model that works best for your organization. Customization of what it does -- as a crowdsourcing tool -- is good. It's not amazing but it doesn't pretend to be, either. There's only so much you can, or even *should* do with a SaaS tool; keep this in mind!

Cons: Expanding its use beyond what it is intended to do is very difficult. For example, if you'd also want to manage the running of a hackathon within the tool, that's not going to be an easy thing to do. You can manage portfolios of work, there is some blogging, and other features as well, which it does an 'adequate job' doing but nothing like the outstanding work and effort they've put into the crowdsourcing and analysis. In other words: don't try to fit round pegs into the square hole.

Pros: I like the fact that it is user friendly, it doesn't scare users to come in and submit ideas/comments or search for ideas. I also like the Results Engine module for the same user friendly experience, but with this it's so easy for the users to run reports that they can get their information how/when they need it. Also, the support team is quick to answer questions or problems.

Cons: I do not have any "cons" I've basically been able to manipulate Innovation Central and Results Engine to meet my companies needs and make it easy for the users. It would be very nice if there could be standardized reports created, that would contain a company logo and updated information monthly, instead of having to export a spreadsheet monthly and manipulating it to run graphs.

Pros: Viima has helped us to structure our idea innovation management process and ensure that it is transparent to all employees. Anyone can add new business ideas, comment on their colleagues ideas and follow along as ideas are evaluated and tested with customers. We can document all our work in the same place. The possibility to tag people and integrations with O365 and Yammer also make it easy to engage people to use the software. We keep finding new use cases for Viima some teams use it to gather internal development suggestions, others for gathering client-specific ideas. This is possible as it is easy to create and customize new boards for different needs.

Cons: Managing users could be improved so that a users are automatically deleted if they leave the company.

Pros: From start to finish the Hype Innovation Team treats every customer like a partner. The setup, configuration, and on-going support is tremendous. The features of the system exceeded my expectations and provided our Strategic Innovation Team with a solid platform to manage both the front-end and back-end of the innovation process.

Cons: The configuration can be somewhat rigid from a user experience perspective. I don't like the project management module either.

Pros: Very simple and intuitive interface : no need for a training. Customization possibilities of the interface are quite numerous Works on computer as on portable devices Stable software.

Cons: Reports for visualization of results and export of data could be enhanced. User management console could use profiles.
