I have no negative points to bring out. Qmarkets, as a company, has been very cooperative and has provided full support during the entire sales cycle. The sales cycle actually ran over a year with multiple discussions with the customer before they signed off. Qmarket products are well thought off and their fitment to customer needs are almost 100%.

• Hype Innovation allows for a full onsite implementation behind a firewall and does not need to communicate to an external server. This is a major advantage for a defense company.
• Hype Innovation is easily configurable by a systems admin with very limited knowledge of the product.
• Product Updates are rolled out quarterly and offered to all clients.
• Hype Innovation has a specific instance of their Hype software platform that is aimed at their clients and improving Hype itself. Feedback from their management is very quick.

• Highly professional software.
• Adaptable to various processes and scopes.
• Excellent support.

• The concepts and projects module requires an overhaul to be more flexible. This is on their product roadmap.
• The software would benefit from the addition of an MS Exchange integration for receiving idea e-mails.
• Customisation of the layout and possible custom components is challenging.

• Reports are excellent but are more content-oriented than people-oriented, and for me as a consultant, the "people" info is important.

Intuitive and easy to set-up and use

The support I've received from them has never been anything less than accessible, compliant, and professional

After evaluating numerous idea management and innovation management platforms, the main reasons we chose Hype Innovation were:

• On-premises installation (Viima did not allow this);
• Cost (Viima and IdeaDrop had substantially higher costs for the amount of users we required);
• Ease of Configuration (Viima was easiest to configure, but IdeaDrop was a challenge.);
• Customer Service (From initial contact to roll-out was 5 weeks).

Other competition products were evaluated but Qmarkets had products that were 100% fit for our customer's needs and the Qmarket team has excellent Tech team which we didn't see in the competition that we and our client evaluated. Also, the Q products are very flexible compared to others in the market.

• Longstanding issues with products and services have been made visible to the wider company and many solutions have been identified.
• A common idea management platform has allowed management to gauge the level of employee involvement and cross functional communication.
• Safe storage and archiving of ideas has enabled the company to keep track of inputs over time and refer back to ideas that were not relevant at the time of generation.
• The added workload of managing the innovation platform has meant that more money has had to be spent on the individual responsible for the platform.
