User Testimonials
	Firstup	Igloo
Likelihood to Recommend	Firstup is a well-suited solution for companies that would like to spread brand awareness and get employees to be their number one ambassadors. Employees like to share/brag about the company they work for so why not use them as a driving force in spreading brand awareness! Incentivized Anat Hazanchuk Sr. Social Media and Content Manager Read full review	Igloo is really great for giving your organization access to the latest version of documents and templates. It's also great for organizing and versioning shared resources. It can also be customized for your organization in terms of sections, page layout, color scheme, branding, etc. It's not so great for search or for offline use. Overall I'd highly recommend it. Incentivized Sarah Meerschaert Project Manager Read full review
Pros	Intuitive, easy-to-use templates for posts, newsletters and email notifications. Consistent upgrades and innovation that keeps the tool current with other apps. Flexibility on how users can use the tool (i.e. comments, sharing photos, etc.) This decision is left to each organization, individually. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Igloo gives you great customization abilities and really fits the need for small communication bursts to important company-wide announcements — when their UI was not getting in the way. Igloo offers a lot of "bells and whistles" if you need them. But it was hard for these small, nonessential elements to not get in the way of the overall purpose of its use. Their sales team was spectacular. But their implementation team was hit or miss. Only one or two people I was able to connect with were both knowledgeable and quickly responsive. Incentivized Tyler Collum Director of Special Projects Read full review
Cons	We'd love to see a calendar added that would show key upcoming dates. It would be awesome if the Message feature had a drop-down directory you could scroll through vs. requiring you to type a few letters before the potential names came up. Incentivized Raleigh Decker Senior Director of Communications Read full review	Pricing can lead to high costs. Users without CSS knowledge may have a hard time to customize themes. Maybe more graphical options to change layouts would be nice. NO SSO and LDAP authentication methods available in the basic version. Languages support in the basic version. Incentivized Vinicius Lima Computer Technician Read full review
Alternatives Considered	I can't really answer this as the platform was already in place when I took my current role. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Igloo stacks up by keeping simple. You can find all functionalities in a very easy way due to the good UI and UX that is provided. Basically, all that you need to improve communication and collaboration in your team/company is available. Also, there are a lot of integration possibilities that can enhance your experience with Igloo. Incentivized Vinicius Lima Computer Technician Read full review
Return on Investment	We look at the earned media revenue tool that Firstup has, and we have earned media of over $4000 most months. Amazing! We have been recognized by peers, clients, and partner agents who say they always see our Hilldrup news pop up on social media! Marketing has been able to control the voice of the brand while amplifying the message to new audiences - amazing!
