MangoApps vs. theEMPLOYEEapp

MangoApps is well suited to enable interactions between colleagues located in distant places, if the people have the right culture, and are already demanding this type of feature. If the whole company is not ready to embrace this culture, MangoApps is missing a little something to encourage the refractory to join the party. And with this type of tool, we only really benefit from the tool's value when a large number of users participate.

Incentivized

• MangoApps provide a large number of options to interact within a community. People can post updates, ask questions, create polls, quizzes, wiki, surveys, chats, or forms.
• The Web interface is a modern application (Facebook inspired). The navigation (although not the most efficient) is overall quite intuitive.
• MangoApps has a web interface, and apps for desktop (Windows, Mac), and mobile.
• MangoApps features a centralized notification system. Unread messages are notified from the Web app, the mobile, or the desktop app. The synchronization status is synchronized.
• MangoApps integrates with Active Directory.

Incentivized

• The messaging system is quite new and doesn't always clear down when read
• The mentions tab can get very busy if you're added to groups
• Lots of customisation can make it overwhelming when editing

I was not involved in the buying process but have working with Moodle in previous workplaces which had some similar functionality, lots of options, but wasn't quite as slick looking. MangoApps can be customised to looks like clean and easy to read for users and the mobile app is useful as many of the staff are in store or travelling around a lot, so a mobile first build is helpful!

Incentivized

• Users can connect from all over the business, especially useful when working from home
• A friendly informal communication method outside of teams/slack/emails
• A way to communicate events to the whole business
