Something I really [like about Sociabble} is the ease of use of the tool, for the most part, and the information provided about the various features within [the software]. On the other hand, [I suggest] that Sociabble [should prove upon] the different [purviews] of admin and users. Sociabble [could be useful if there [were] different gradations of admin's [role in coordinating with] the user's [ability to modify] and edit posts and comments.

Staffbase is well-suited for companies who want to drive and measure employee engagement through meaningful content. I wouldn't recommend it for companies that maintain a complex SharePoint environment with years of legacy content. It is not intended to be a CMS system. It is a dynamic platform that makes it's easy to share information through the mobile or desktop app and email and push notifications. You don't need a large team to manage it.

Pros
  • User-Friendly Layout: A layout and feel that will be very familiar to anyone who uses other social media channels, especially Pinterest.
  • Ease Of Use: Incredibly simple platform to connect your profiles with and begin using; while it has significant opportunity for customization and higher-level usage, the basic purpose and configuration of the platform is incredibly straight-forward.
  • Customization: There are a ton of customizable options and elements that Sociabble provides, compared to other products on the market.

  • Easy to use back-end for posting and managing content—you don't have to rely on IT for support.
  • Software update releases are included in the licensing fees. No need to get outside developers involved in making changes to the platform.
  • Employee segmentation is extremely easy with an API from your HRIS system.
  • Translations are a breeze!
  • Creating forms on the go is easy and efficient!
  • Use your existing organization's SSO for ease of use and security.

Cons
  • Gamification is geared towards adding new users (and thus paid for seats for Sociabble), rather than incentives to promote specific campaigns by existing users.
  • Can’t measure engagement for a particular month/week.
  • I believe that the price can be revised and improved, not taking all the performance out of the software, just analyzing that it is great and that it can have more reach if the price is improved for interested parties with lower conditions.

Alternatives Considered
Sociabble is the more premium and customizable version of Smarp. It offers significantly more customization, even if it isn't as 'turnkey' of a solution for a team. I would encourage anyone with a large team (100+ members) or the time/resources to commit to this effort to consider Sociabble, while I'd recommend Smarp for smaller teams or a company that doesn't have the time/bandwidth to dedicate resources to the management of the platform.

Since we selected Staffbase, they are one of a few companies that haven't been acquired or changed its business model. We would have invested a lot of time and money rebuilding our intranet otherwise. We selected them because of the standard features included, the free updates, and the reasonable licensing fees. They understand the value of communicating with non-desk employees and keeping them engaged.

Concentrates CSR efforts on enterprises that shape 15+ global industries, and grows the audience by connecting with engaged employees & business leaders, who believe in the value of CSR initiatives.Screenshot of Sociabble offers an advanced gamification framework, with best practices and behavior required to be encouraged and promoted; and, with automated processes. Rules can be applied to reward End-Users based on specific actions performed. If the company wants to encourage employees' participation in sharing ideas and UGC, they can associate more points with those types of actions. The Sociabble reward framework highlights initiatives, such as by offering Sociabble Trees where End-Users receive real trees as part of a reforestation project. Custom badges can also be used to reward employees. Sociabble monitors employee engagement with inbuilt analytics, and users can check in with their workforce using custom surveys.Screenshot of Further than top-down gamification and rewards. Sociabble offers a 360° approach to engagement.
- Transversal recognition with Praises (Kudos) distribution among the workforce. This helps to break silos in the organization, thanking colleagues for their participation and efforts in the program, etc. 
- Bottom-up approach by opening up the platform for user-generated content. This challenges employees to share photos and videos of their participation at trade shows and events. Marketing teams can reuse this content generated on the platform to create campaigns.
