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.

As one
of the great intranet software, Jostle has always helped me in staying
connected with the team members from different departments. The app makes me
feel so much at ease because I know what is happening in all the departments
and if everything is going in the right direction or not. My recommendation is
that this software is very appropriate for growing businesses where people are
not aware of their surroundings and their colleagues' work status. Jostle will
send them notifications on emails whenever they need to be updated regarding
any specific thing that is why I highly recommend this application.

Pros
  • 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.

Cons
  • 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.

  • Jostle has many advantages but there are certain disadvantages that need to be catered to in order to make the entire experience smooth and good. I think that the dashboard is not well designed. I feel like I have to go through a lot of navigation panels to find the right information. It takes too much time sometimes.
  • Another con in my opinion is that the library of Jostle needs a lot of customization and a lot of features have to be added to easily make other things accessible.

It's a wonderful product that can be used from a computer or from the ease of an app on your phone. I love that my team can have access to Job Aids from their phones while working out in the field. I have not personally had any issues while using Jostle and I highly recommend it for your business.

Our company used to have a Wall of Wow but it was mostly to just congratulate team members on milestones. Jostle allows you to connect with others members on your team and throughout your company as well as being able to post important bulletins, ensure access to quick links, and the ability to have Job Aids and resources available in the Library.
