Ideanote vs. IdeaScale

Best suited: In focused, facilitator driven idea noting or discussion session. Less suited: There is no force factor to get users to come back to the mission or page once the session is over. There is no what happens next driver for Missions.

It is best used for employee engagement, team building, etc.

• Excellent UI - clean and uncluttered. It paves your way rather than gets in your way.
• Solid UX - each feature seem to guide but not push towards the desired outcome.
• Versatility - the tool can be used for an endless variety of purposes.
• Analytics - Ideanote not only helps you gather and rate ideas but it provides insight about who contribute the most in your company's creative process.
• Ready made templates for common use cases help structure & direct the goals of your workspace quickly.

• IdeaScale allows open and quick interaction.
• Campaign moderation is a breeze.
• Creation of the campaigns is very simple.

• Just dumping a user onto a page can be a bit jarring for some people. So more visual cues around what to do next would be great.
• Having missions open and accessible to the public would be great - rather than being constrained by the number of "seats" an account has.
• Individual comapny/department reporting/insights would be helpful, rather just a report on the Mission page.

• The reporting platform needs improvement to make it easier to show results directly from the system.
• It takes time and effort to get traffic in the tool.

It is a reliable service and the support Team is very focused on our satisfaction, when there is a question.

A roadmap we can have also as a script and install it somewhere - but the feeling the Interface is sending

gives clearness, that we so much need, also we are just at the start on the process. But it helped and

users and team members are easy to get into the game on the platform and not in fear,

[be]cause it is simpl[y] made. This is also a very great point I have lost some people to onboard with another

solution, but with Ideanote all members are delighted by the design.

The customization, privacy options and review stages were specific to Ideascale compared to some of the others. I also found that some of the other companies were too complex in the build up.

• Ideas are well tracked and centralized in one place.
• We can prioritize ideas and take immediate actions on them.
• Our team members are recognized for contributing improvement ideas and hence our team is encouraged to think outside the box about business challenges.

• Ideascale was launched recently so no concrete ROI yet
• Supports driving innovation as a discipline internally and externally
