DEON

Best Visual Organizer

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I play several roles in my company that include Marketing, Sales, Training etc. I need different documents handy for each of these roles.

I use Deon to organize all my documents at one place together.

<u>For Example:</u> When I am taking Sales Calls, I have my presentations, portfolio, rate cards, other necessary information in one place in one project of Deon. All the documents, presentations etc that I need during a sales call are available in one place.

Similarly when I am doing my training or any Marketing activity all documents are kept in one place. Deon helps me keep all my files organized and accessible in one place.

Pros

  • Helps manage all files in one place.
  • Very Good visual representation of needed files.
  • Easy to use interface and easy to learn
  • Lets you do a lot of customization in terms of data representation

Cons

  • More tutorials need to be available.
  • Since it is a totally new way of organizing data, there should be some sample examples of how data is organized.
  • Some options in choosing background colors should have been given.
  • Should have given the option to edit some documents in the panel itself. e.g: Notepad, word.

Return on Investment

  • It has helped me organize my documents and files in a purposeful and sequential way.
  • DEON Saves a lot of time and makes everything very visually organized.
  • It is more of an management tool, which affects your ROI in terms of your performance and efficiency.

Switching to DEON

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

collaborate on Infinite Canvas with a wide variety of file types and data sources at high performance. There are loading times for SharePoint files, if this is exceeded, DEON aborts and you have to manually update with a click on each file to see that other providers actively promote their communities and have loads of free-to-use templates. I didn't have much luck finding one for DEON.No standard template available yet.

Pros

  • drag and drop documents, spreadsheets, drawings, screenshots, web applications, videos, images, live sources ETC.
  • Its intuitive front-end lets you improvise, when you are not sure how to do it.

Cons

  • O Usage of a different logic of navigating compared to MS Office products. For me it's possible to switch, but for customers, who are not using DEON so often, it's difficult.
  • Deon don´t support file with Macros

Return on Investment

  • We chose DEON over MIRO and MURAL. Both other tools are very good for developers or people who usually want to have a very simple communication platform and are otherwise using complex or complicated views.
  • Currently, the web version is not that powerful and for MAC users there is just a beta version available

DEON changes a life of project cosultants by providing immense flexibility capabilities

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have very complex agile SAP Implementation project management work involving around 200 -300 consultants per project within a span of 6 months. In such a scenario, one of the most challenging tasks is to keep a track record of authenticated work completion across the various levels of hierarchies of consultant levels and involves horizontal/ vertical integration of very short-term service by a 'Specialist consultant'. DEON provides superb multi-collaboration, cross integration, and file-sharing capabilities which we utilize in order to organize/ link scrum-wise along with linkage to other eco-systems such as events, requirements, risk, and decision points. This helps to build a complex micro-level environment. The Digital dashboard provides a complete overview to CTM of the client w.r.t complex work road ahead.

Pros

  • collaborative work
  • integration with microsoft applications, drive
  • digital dashboard maintenance presenting flexible linkages at one place

Cons

  • Recording functionality
  • Real time integration of Agile software Eg: jira software
  • AI features eg: cortana
  • BI Reporting capability

Return on Investment

  • provided us capability to visualize complex integration/ decisive points
  • Helped in easy scrum management
  • enabled horizontal and vertical integration of workforce
  • digital presentation of complex topics with dashboard to CTM

Usability

Magnificent and powerful tool for live collaboration

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

One of the best agile platforms. We work on different client projects, then, at that point, it's like we generally need plenty of records for that, introductions, mind maps, word archives, designs, organization graphs, sites, online entertainment profiles as well as representative profiles and timesheets schedules. Up to this point, these are various envelopes that I possess to open every energy for this, which is a colossal exertion. Presently I can consider everything in a solitary look to be one virtual work area. In any case, not just that I can see and plan everything there, except that I can likewise effectively see the records there right away. For instance, a PowerPoint is then in front of me, yet I can rapidly make it huge like a book and just peruse it. Just cunning.

Pros

  • presentation and infinite canvas
  • easy to brainstorm and collaborate on ideas
  • embedding webpages and app ref points
  • Powerpoint integration

Cons

  • Better UI/UX or design

Return on Investment

  • Pretty positive overall
