Ideagen Collaboration Portal vs. Troop Messenger

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.

• Sharing documents is super simple.

• Jointly code helps two or more developers work on the same code. They can share the same code editor for writing and editing.
• Any participant of the group call can add more participants to the ongoing group call.
• Integrations that enable users to work on the apps within Troop Messenger.
• Search filters help you find groups, text files, images, videos, and more in just one go.

• 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.

• To my knowledge, Troop Messenger is already a complete tool, so there is no feature that is required to be improved.

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

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

We are happy using the application and have no complaints about it. It made our daily team communication and collaboration simple and seamless. The best part is its file deck module, where it lets us view all the files that were shared across Troop Messenger in one place, also waiting for Troop Messenger's new features.

• 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.

• Our team communication and collaboration is simplified with Troop Messenger. Now that we don’t feel the need to use e-mail for checking our work requirements and updates, we check all of them in Troop Messenger and get on to work. We are able to bring non-employees, such as our customers and clients, into it to exchange business conversations. We don’t feel any negative impacts with it.
