Today all kinds of functional departments of any size use Confluence, from technical teams and project management groups, to marketing, HR, legal, and finance. All teams get work done with Confluence.
Large organizations dedicated to advancing their Innovation Management turn to Ideanote for its seamless implementation and high engagement rates.
In my experience, Confluence is the best tool at effectively organizing large volumes of documentation. It's UI is very clean and easy to navigate.
The text based search option for documents sometimes sucks. I do not get the results that I am looking for which is something I dislike about this tool.
It is the best documentation for our organization it help our company to puts all the important notes and future planning at one place.
It's beyond irritating that exporting documents as a PDF is so horrendous out of the box. I also find the concept of Actions vs Jira issues confusing.
I am really happy with the tool. We use it in many different ways and I believe it is really good and important to have it.
I dislike the page editing features and the inability to copy and paste information from Confluence into other pieces of software without the editing causing issues.
This is used as the main collaborative platform in our company, I am excited how it helps to have the best knowledge base and intranet.
Now I need to upload to google docs and import as google doc rather than word. The error messages sometimes are on the level of "something went wrong.
I like the way you create a mission for a question and then just invite people to interact. Customers are your best supporters and will help you improve your product rather than going elsewhere.
Despite Cname and customer branding the mails are full of the brand name of ideanote.io, since the idea communication also makes mails necessary, the own branding is lost in these cases.
I love the user interface and how it walks you through the whole process--the ease of use and journey on the user end feels super welcoming.
I really miss somekind of chat. Where the people can discuss their views.
It is very useful when working with collaborators or customers who are very mobile in their professional practices and who need effective tools to share ideas or projects in good conditions.
Also, the limited amount of users that can use the system makes it counter-productive for consulting agencies to use in large ideation sessions - but I believe a workaround is on the product roadmap.
I really like the ability to easily put ideas out there, get feedback and then rate them. There is a clear and robust user flow focused on idea sharing, feedback etc.
It took me a minute or so to figure out how to edit a mission when I realised I had missed.
Casandra M. : My name is Casandra. I am an administrative support manager working for a relatively small company. I think we have less than 20 employees. And the Confluence app, I would say, probably a four out of five rating. Before Confluence, I pretty much was just texting back and forth to the owner of the company. That's who I work directly under. And she's the clinical director, she's the administrative director, she's just pretty much the entire head of the company. And it was texting and emailing back and forth, and the emails and the texts would get lost amongst each other. And it was just very complicated to have to go through and refer back to find emails and refer back to text messages that were sent weeks and months prior to really try to keep track. We tried an Excel sheet, we tried writing things down, and somewhere along the line things would just get convoluted or complicated because she would try to edit things on the spreadsheet, there would be a complication with me being able to share the spreadsheet, or the editing permissions would change for some reason. And so, with the Confluence app, we both had direct access to the app and it was just us two. There was no, she was locked out of it or she couldn't gain access or we needed to get a new password for it. It was just she always had direct access and I always had direct access, and she could edit things, change things right from there without complications. And then I would see those changes and I would be able to check things off as I go. So it was really easy to keep track of and it made our communication and process much more streamlined and much easier to accomplish. We chose Confluence, just kind of winging it and hoping. We were shooting in the dark and just grabbing different apps we researched on Google, apps that could help us. And that was one of the ones that popped up, and it was really just a "let's try it and see what happens." And it ended up working out really well. It was relatively easy. It was slightly confusing at first, but it was very quickly much easier to understand. Just initially, I think, onboarding with any sort of app or new technology is going to be slightly confusing, but it was definitely less confusing than the majority, I would say, than everything else that we've used. And it was easy to get into it. I don't know. It was complicating initially, but not overly complicating. It's just as confusing as any new product would be. But as soon as we got the flow of it, it was fine. I would personally say that it doesn't cost anything and, again, it's not that challenging to figure out. And for me, it streamlined the process, and for the company, it streamlined our processes. So it's not going to hurt anything to try it. And if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. And if it does, great. You're not any worse off if it does or doesn't work. So.
Jack: Hi, my name's Jack. I'm the Managing Director of a photography company, and I give Ideanote a four out of five. Before Ideanote, we actually did not use an idea software. I did consider Brightidea, however, we did not go with them because it looked like pricing and some of the features were a little more complicated. We chose Ideanote for the user interface that's easy to use some of the white label branding functions, the ability to use a custom domain, and some of the mission templates and idea fields. For example, how you can rate ideas and comment on them. The onboarding and integration process was very easy after setting up our custom domain and inviting some of our colleagues, it was up and running. A few recommendations before choosing Ideanote is just to make sure you choose a plan that's right for you. Make sure the pricing fits. For example, you have either unlimited ideas if you need that, or unlimited team members, or choose a plan that's right for the size of your team.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
