Business Problems Solved
Igloo has proven to be a valuable tool for organizations looking to improve communication and collaboration among team members. Users have found that by centralizing all communications in one platform, productivity has increased significantly. This is especially beneficial for employees working outside the office as it allows them to stay connected and engaged with their colleagues. With each department having its own page or hub in Igloo, organizations are able to store useful templates, links, and share updates and metrics with the rest of the company. Additionally, Igloo functions as a social media platform where users can post updates about new employees, upcoming events, and good news in both personal and work lives. The software also serves as a reliable archive for important records, enabling multiple people and departments to contribute and access documents remotely.
Igloo was mainly used to improve communication between team members, to share files and to schedule meetings across the IT Department. We try to centralize all communications in one robust and reliable platform so productivity can be significantly increased. For employees that work outside the office, Igloo software is very useful, too.

Likelihood to Recommend
Igloo is a well-suited option for teams/companies that want to build an employee intranet with some other interesting features, like file storage and sharing, internal communications, and resource and knowledge management. All of these features may help your workers increase productivity significantly by centralizing everything in one robust and reliable platform. However, it can be less appropriate if costs are a problem for you, due to the pricing. So, if you will not be using several features and just want an intranet for you company, you may want to go with another solution.
