FileInvite vs. Ideagen Collaboration Portal

Our forms for summer camper parents vary depending on the needs of the camper (i.e. allergies, nutrition requirements, & program desirability such as horseback riding or preferred cabin mates). This situational form allowance is a breeze with fileinvite, and the setup process is intuitive and very easy to manage as a collaboration across our entire team

If you must simultaneously edit documents on a project, Huddle is not a good option. Also, if your team is not technically savvy, the learning curve can be challenging. Finally, if you need hundreds or thousands of people working on a project, Huddle might not be the right choice. I think it is better for teams under 100 people.

• Some clients complain about the number of emails they receive from the automated system.
• Some tasks are more complicated than they should be.
• Some clients have voiced their concerns about how complicated the system is on their end.

• The desktop app is occasionally unreliable and it is never easy to get to the bottom of it with the tech support people...
• Tasks are virtually useless as they have no context. We want tasks to be against documents so we can make our workflow more formal but they are not, so we don't use them. A reimplementation of to do and calendar facilities with files/documents as the context would make a huge difference to us.
• The Huddle Office plugins are a great idea, but they cause us far too many Word and Excel crashes so we have to turn them off.

Aside from a few minor recommendations, the solution is well thought through and very easy to set up. As a matter of fact, the onboarding support by the team was fantastic, and the ongoing availability to help while we were/are learning the platform has been extremely friendly and reliable.

Huddle is very easy to use whether you are a new user or you have used it for years, it is an incredibly intuitive system that is so simple to teach to new users, the lock feature prevents important documents from being edited accidentally, while the edit features allow for true collaborative working

It has been pretty smooth so far. There was an issue earlier this week that resulted in corrupted invites whereby the unique secure link failed, but I was able to resubmit the invitations quite simply, and they've assured me the issue was unusual and I won't be alarmed unless it happens again sometime soon.

There were at least two other solutions that I looked into. Of my list of needs, however, file invite had the majority of them covered, and I know that at least one other solution that I reviewed was significantly more expensive.

Oh Slack is more expensive and Huddle gets exactly what we need done, not much to say other than they have proven themselves and we can go confidently with them knowing if there's an issue we'll get the support we need

• Positive feedback from clients and employees who have used this vs Docusign.
• Not sure about the exact ROI, however, I know that this has had significant cost savings vs the previous software.

• This has made it a lot easier for remote workers to access important documents without needing to use the VPN at home (which does not always work).
• It clearly shows who updated the last document and when so it is clear who you need to ask if you have questions or something.
• We have used it in client settings, so this saves money as we do not need to request a separate client laptop or VPN token.
