Noodle

Pros: Good for collaboration across different departments within the firm. Setting up was easy and it adds more color than a simple email.

Cons: Integration with Microsoft Outlook needs to be better. Sometimes the formatting is lost when text is copied from other applications

Pros: We have used Noodle for about 5 years at my company as an intranet. It works, and is stable and reliable.

Cons: It is not very intuitive. Some of the drop-down menus are glitchy and frustrating. The search option does not work that great.

Pros: -Great customization - I really liked that I can control the look of everything, and what my users see -Granular administrative control - I really needed to have precise control of what different users could see - Noodle really works well this way -Competitive price points for businesses on a lighter budget for an intranet -Embeddable code capabilities in certain posts - helps to display unique content and certain web apps, this was another thing that was important to me

Cons: -Takes a bit of a learning curve to learn - certain UX elements could use bits of refinement

Pros: Noodle can be deployed in the cloud or hosted on local servers; this makes it extremely convenient. It is a great tool for communication and collaboration within teams. I like its built-in instant messenger, which further facilitates communication. It is easy to learn and it is highly intuitive. It is relatively low cost and has great customer service. Overall, a highly robust social intranet solution.

Cons: The mobile versions are not user-friendly; and the design can be improved.

Pros: Noodle is very well made. Its easy to apply forums, interact with others inside the organization, and you're able to customize your own page just how you want. You also don't have to host it anywhere on the web and you can apply restrictions so that others can't log in unless they're in your network.

Cons: The issues I found were similar to SharePoint and Wordpress in that you are almost limited with how you create your work, but nothing is impossible. Another issue I found was the pricing. If you have Office 365 license you could just use SharePoint. But Noddle is a good alternative if you're wanting to work around all that.

Pros: Noodle is easy to navigate. We use noodle for updates and to find information to help our customers. I never have any problems using Noodle to do this.

Cons: Currently, I do not have any dislikes about Noodle.

Pros: Easy to use and customize. It is a source of invaluable information for our team.

Cons: Some formatting lost when copy/pasting from other applications.

Pros: I managed to create a useful site for our staff in less than 48 hours. It went up so fast and is incredibly easy to populate with content.

Cons: Sometimes certain things have a mind of their own... the home screen skews percentages of columns depending on what section I put in it... but I can't seem to figure out why... I also don't like that if I lock down editing for an area, users can't 'like' anything there... makes the like button sort of useless.

Pros: The desktop version is user-friendly and easy to navigate.

Cons: Doesn't have an app. The mobile versions isnt the most user-friendly.

Pros: The best thing about this piece of software is the easiness to use. Has all the necessary functionally for a intranet site

Cons: As an intranet tool it does what it needs to do, only drawback is the outlook integration is not very good at this stage.

Pros: Secure and centralized our intraoffice communication. Because we use Noodle as the hub for policies, human resources, and training documents and videos, it took a lot of time and effort to get this running. The time invested wasn't due to the Noodle programming, but due to the large amount of information we needed to publish. Logging in and updating is simple. The layout is user friendly and customizable.

Cons: Internal messaging is only delivered if the employee is looking at the Noodle program. There is no desktop function that sends the message or an indicator to look at messages received unless you are in Noodle.

Pros: Noodle is very user-friendly and the cost is very inexpensive for the value you receive. Customer support is great.

Cons: The design isn't very high-end. The mobile aspect of this software needs improvement and messaging could use improvements as well.

Pros: Its cheap, easy to use and no contract!! Its hard to find a program that does everything Noodle does in one place.

Cons: Wish it had a free trial before buying. I refer people but they want to "try before they buy". Which is understandable

Pros: It is great to input information and the customer support has been amazing. The ability to input so many options and white label the intranet is outstanding

Cons: The only small issue I have is there are a few things to input for changes that were difficult but that being said it is updated so frequently that features come out often

Pros: It looks nice on the surface and if you have the time to dedicate hours to polishing it administratively it could be a great intranet.

Cons: It's very frustrating at times to administrate. The admin gui is not user friendly or intuitive at all. We have been unable to get users to interact with either working on it or using it.

Pros: Noodle has a cloud based system that will allow you to access your website outside of your company's network. They have also integrated a Single Sign On (SSO) option for the cloud based users as wel. This makes it easier to login your intranet site if your company already is using a SSO software especially Windows Active Directory. The interface allows you to easily build pages and has a drag and drop feature that most people are familiar with. It also has features that will allow you to easily setup a photo gallery, create a poll, make and merge calendars, and create interactive forms. Using Noodle allowed our company to retain existing functionality from our old intranet site while incorporating new ones.

Cons: It would be nice if Noodle would allow you to connect to an external database or use an API widget in order to use existing custom built applications/import data. There are some features that are incorporated in the site (while useful) that are not intuitive to the end users that cannot be disabled.

Pros: If you are not a tech guru, it is okay because the simplicity is nice and capable for those who struggle. Tech support was great as well.

Cons: I would love for this to have Office available right from the get-go. The mobile version can be hit or miss.

Pros: It's easy for a person who doesn't have IT experience to setup and run. The layout is simple and most users have no issues finding things. The email notifications are handy too.

Cons: It looks very generic and unprofessional. You have to delete your cookies for profile updates to take place. The chat box doesn't have emojis, spell check, or allow you to have the chat up while navigating Noodle. It's just ok, overall.

Pros: Having a centrally located intranet where all your internal operations important information is at the ready for your employees in a secure environment.

Pros: Customer and tech support. The features of the platform.

Cons: Can be a bit tricky getting some of the functionality working properly, but that is due to user skill level. Any issues, we contact the support team and they help us get it sorted.

Pros: Easy to use, low cost, high ROI, outstanding support, flexible, robust, secure and safe.

Cons: Less flexible in design to some of the high end product.
