Team Lead, Systems Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A delight to use for Intranet Managers, Content Authors and employees" June 21, 2018 5.0 An easy to use Intranet portal with social capabilities that enable employees to be more engaged. Simplified infrastructure for on-premises, no need for massive server farms. Great setup and onboarding experience with their professional services team. Their support staff is stellar, fast and caring for your needs. Pros ThoughtFarmer's ease of use, and the easy deployment on-premises (although a cloud option is available) helped us implement our new Intranet on time and budget while providing users with a top-notch experience for corporate news, events and navigating different processes in our organization. Social features (likes, commenting, @ mentions) really empower our employees to have a voice be more engaged with our strategic direction, operational insights and celebrating milestones with the recent addition of Shout-outs. From an extensibility perspective, the platform allows for page templates and widget creation (in browser or with modern development IDEs) and it is now based on React, so page loading and navigation is fast and responsive. Customizing with your own fonts. corporate color theme and images is quick and painless. Need to go a bit further? You can add your own CSS or JavaScript to fill in any gaps from the out of the box theming engine. A recent overhaul of the search experience brings the experience to what you would expect from enterprise search with the addition of best bets, predictive search, etc. The people directory is beautifully crafted and thanks to the Employee Directory Connector you can bring your users and their active directory properties (such as department, job title, phone, email) in just a few clicks. For authentication, SAML SSO is an option. The admin area is intuitive and very powerful as many options are configurable in the UI. Cons There are only 2 security roles, admin and user, so roles like help desk or others might get exposed to settings one might not want them to have. From an integration point of view, would like to see more integration with Office 365 as we use it for more day-to-day collaboration. A SharePoint integration is possible, but not sure if it will also work with SharePoint Online. Review Source SI Steve I.

They were knowledgeable, thorough, and helpful. They worked with us throughout the process and kept us on track. Pros Our new ThoughtFarmer intranet is so much better than our old intranet. Having it hosted saves us from the server maintenance and patching. The search option on the site saves our users so much time in searching for forms, pages, and other content. Cons 1) Some of the training during the onboarding process was canned and wasn't customized for us 2) Can't search for links in the search menu 3) Users can't save custom page views with sections expanded or collapsed Switched from [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Our on-prem Wordpress environment lacked integration and was becoming depricated. It also required that we have in-house employees maintain it. Review Source CW Colin W. Network and Security Governance Manager Law Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Thoughtfarmer was a great choice" April 18, 2025 4.0 Overall, I think the experience has been good. It gave our team a good way to build out exactly what was needed, and the site looks good, and professional. Pros It is very easy to navigate from page to page, and find what you are looking for. The ability to link from page to page makes jumping around quick. Cons We've had quite a few issues with connecting and syncing to some of the calendars. From what I've read, the compatibility of the chosen calendar file format doesn't mesh well with outlook. Review Source JW Jordan W. IT Manager Law Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "ThoughtFarmer, the right choice from start to finish." April 4, 2025 5.0 I am extremely satisfied with my experience working with ThoughtFarmer. From negotiating the contract to assisting with setup, training, and offboarding users, they’ve been excellent at every step. They are mindful of your time and flexible with changes, and I never felt rushed or overlooked. ThoughtFarmer has carefully considered every aspect of the process, even offering sessions to help ensure long-term success with the intranet. \[sensitive content hidden\] have been a pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend their services. Pros It's easy to use and understand. this made setup a breeze but also allowed me to train others how to use it once launched. Cons Outlook doesn't integrate currently, but I've been told it will before the end of 2025.

It seemed easiest to use and at the best price. Review Source AG Abby G. Director of HR Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great experience, Excellent Response Time and Customer Service" January 21, 2026 5.0 Great. Initial presentations for the product were good, team is knowledgeable and well versed in capabilities and limitations of system. Pros Customer Service, Implementation Process was very thorough, Ease of Use, Social engagement opportunities. Cons Ticketing system could use some work. Would like for the system to know the approval process based on how we set up the workflow instead of sometimes having to assign the person the ticket goes to next. Alternatives considered [Axero](https://www.capterra.com/p/129326/Axero/) Reason for choosing ThoughtFarmer Ease of use, visually appealing, team was knowledgeable Switched from [Claromentis](https://www.capterra.com/p/83430/Claromentis-Intranet/) Very dated, not easy to manage on the backend.

Their team was professional, friendly, and responsive from start to finish. Everyone we worked with throughout the project was helpful and made the process seamless. Pros The ThoughtFarmer site was easy to set up, and the platform is both modern and user-friendly. Our users have been very pleased with the product since its launch. Cons A couple of the functions could be a little more flexible, several enhancements require an add-on cost, and reports could be a bit more built out. Alternatives considered [Axero](https://www.capterra.com/p/129326/Axero/) Reason for choosing ThoughtFarmer The ThoughtFarmer team seemed like a better fit or our organization. Switched from [Ncontracts](https://www.capterra.com/p/233877/Ncontracts/) Price and an outdated product with little to no product support. Review Source AB Aaron B.

I think ThoughtFarmer offers fantastic value for the money, especially when you consider the level of quality you get across the product and customer service. Pros ThoughtFarmer's intranet platform provides all of the features and services we need. The learning curve to use the system is low, so we were able to jump and and get designing quickly. Finally, the implementation team was top notch when it came to collaboration and answering our questions. Cons Honestly, there's nothing we didn't like. There are, of course, features we want that we've used before, but these are all custom to what we're used to, not what we need, and we've found way to work without them. Alternatives considered [Engageware](https://www.capterra.com/p/45552/Engageware/)[Axero](https://www.capterra.com/p/129326/Axero/) Reason for choosing ThoughtFarmer ThoughtFarmer felt warmer and more inviting, and the price was comparable.

By nature, I have high standards. Most companies fall short of what they promised and leave us wanting more. Thought Farmer has exceeded our expectations in every way, from product quality to support. Pros They actually delivered everything they promised. The product is incredibly user friendly and intuitive, and the team goes out of their way to create solutions when we need them. An implementation team member also continues to provide support after implementation. That is rare. Cons It is difficult to find a dislike without reaching. The only small hassle is having to reformat web pages when imported from a Word document. An AI solution that builds your webpage for you based on the layout and formatting of a word doc would be amazing. Alternatives considered [Haystack](https://www.capterra.com/p/204716/Haystack/)[Axero](https://www.capterra.com/p/129326/Axero/) Reason for choosing ThoughtFarmer It solved more of our problems, the cost was reasonable, and the sales team was just more attentive to our needs and wants.

January 15, 2025 5.0 It was a great experience overall. I provided feedback & suggestions for improvements along the way and the team was always open & receptive and also happy to hear. They were great to work with, had easy to follow meeting notes and action items, and always responded quickly and effectively. When we had issues, they always sought to find the best solutions. I am really so happy that we found this company! The platform is user friendly and easy on the admin side as well. It is a fantastic platform and a company filled with kind and helpful people. If I had to do it all over again, I would choose Thoughtfarmer in a heartbeat! Pros The ThoughtFarmer team is amazing! Super responsive, open to feedback & suggestions, timely responses, and offers guidance all along the way...even after implementation! If we ever had issues, they worked to resolve them as quickly as possible! They provided a perfect balance of helping & guiding us while empowering us to create our own personalized intranet that fit our exact needs. Cons I would have liked to see more info up front before our sessions to maximize the efficiency of the session. Most of my team members had not ever had an intranet before, so it was very new to them. Also, it would have been good to have met with the ThoughtFarmer team after the content inventory to discuss how the content would actually be set up. We wanted documents in a document library and not have a separate page for each piece of content. We did not spend enough time discussing the different content types: a page, a group, a section, etc. I think we would have made progress faster if our sessions were working sessions vs learning sessions. Just send us the overview, the powerpoint and a video, then we can do the creating together during our meeting. Alternatives considered [Assembled](https://www.capterra.com/p/195644/Assembled/) Reason for choosing ThoughtFarmer We really wanted a non-SharePoint platform and one that was easy to use and provided great support. We found all of this in ThoughtFarmer. The box above makes me select, but does not provide options we actually used. You should fix this field or make it not required! Review Source CC Cole C.

Everyone we worked with was helpful, patient, and genuinely cared about making sure our intranet turned out the way we needed. It was an overall smooth and enjoyable process. Pros What I like most is how easy the product is to use and manage. The layout is intuitive, the tools are flexible, and it's simple to update content whenever we need to. Cons There isn't much I dislike, but there were a few areas that had a slight learning curve at first. Once I became familiar with the system, it was smooth. Review Source Response from ThoughtFarmer December 4, 2025 Thanks for the review, Cole. We love that you love your ThoughtFarmer experience. Let us know if there is anything we can do to make that learning curve a little bit easier. AP Ashley P. Director of Products and Services Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "ThoughtFarmer was a Great Option for us!" July 15, 2024 4.0 It has been a great experience. Having Jasper as our main contact monthly is wonderful and \[sensitive content hidden\] as our implementation manager was fantastic. Pros The team at ThoughtFarmer was incredible to work with and they listen to your ideas for enhancements to the software. You really felt like you were a part of their community culture. Cons Some of the tables and rich text formats could use a little more customization, but as we meet with the team at ThoughtFarmer, they provide some work arounds for us. Reason for choosing ThoughtFarmer It was the best product for our current needs and met our cyber security needs. Switched from [Adobe Illustrator](https://www.capterra.com/p/227125/Adobe-Illustrator/) We really used Adobe Muse, but that was not on the list as it is no longer a viable product and no longer available. Review Source JS Jennifer S. Communications Manager Civil Engineering Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "ThoughtFarmer Revolutionized Our Internal Communication" December 12, 2023 5.0 It's been overwhelmingly positive. The platform itself is excellent and incredibly easy to use, the staff are very helpful and knowledgeable, and I love how the company is always striving to do more and make more enhancements and improvements. I would highly recommend ThoughtFarmer to anyone! Pros There are so many amazing aspects to ThoughtFarmer's interactive intranet platform. I brought an interactive intranet to my company for the first time they had ever experienced one. Therefore, it was crucial to have an intuitive, insightful, and easy-to-use tool for our staff. I have used other platforms before, but ThoughtFarmer's is not only the easiest one to use, but also the most professional and functional. After less than a year, internal communication has been transformed and is thriving now at RICK Engineering with the RICK Hub (our ThoughtFarmer intranet) as a center hub for everything, and employees are more engaged than ever across all of our offices. ThoughtFarmer's staff made our build and enhancements since then incredibly smooth and pleasant. They're always helpful, prompt, and forward-thinking, and absolute pleasure to work with. Cons I honestly do not have any true dislikes or complaints. The current platform/process for pulling statistics has shortcomings and is not very easy to use. However, ThoughtFarmer has demonstrated a new stats platform they are working on now and will be launching soon. So, we're really looking forward to that.

AVP, Systems Dev and Architecture Insurance Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Thought Farmer has exceeded our expectations on all fronts" February 8, 2023 5.0 We are able to 1. centralise all our communications (we are a global company so this was very difficult before); 2. give all users easy access to important company training and know-how; 3. provide a safe area where users can discuss off-topic/fun items to increase employee well-being; 4. foster a community spirit within the company. This has meant that employees are more informed so can do their job better and are also much engaged so are much more motivated. Pros The software is an incredibly easy to use but very powerful no-code platform which is one of the best examples of no-code I have ever seen. It's so easy to use that we have been easily able to show all users how to upload and modify content. Cons Thought farmer is organised around a pages and cards system (i.e you have to create new pages and then add cards to those pages). This worked really well for our company so we have no issues with this but I could see this being restrictive to others or maybe future projects we have. Alternatives considered [Microsoft SharePoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/1167/SharePoint/)[Salesforce Sales Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/61368/Salesforce/)[Axero](https://www.capterra.com/p/129326/Axero/) Reason for choosing ThoughtFarmer Thought Farmer was a much better thought out product. The MS sharepoint intranet option is very basic with a very poor visual layout and admin management platform. Thought Farmer was clear slick, easy to use and powerful right from the start. Review Source JA Julie A. Corporate Training Officer Banking Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Amazing Product and Service" May 24, 2024 5.0 As I said before, the customer service offered through ThoughtFarmer is like nothing I've ever experienced. We were walked through every step with well-designed training classes and never left to just figure it out on our own. The product itself is very intuitive. Pros The product itself checked off every box our organization needed, but the service we received from our Project Manager and Customer Success Manager really stood up. There was not a question they couldn't answer for us. Cons There isn't anything I've found I don't like about this product. I have card suggestions, but these are not complaints. Switched from [Ncontracts](https://www.capterra.com/p/233877/Ncontracts/) OnSemble (now NContracts) was not a user-friendly product. It was complicated for admins and users. The price was double what we're paying for ThoughtFarmer. Review Source YG Yonathan G.

Pros The intranet platform is very user-friendly. Easily navigable to set up pages, manage content, and collaborate with different people across the firm. Cons Takes a little bit of time to get used to if managing and editing a lot of resources. Review Source Response from ThoughtFarmer April 25, 2025 Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with ThoughtFarmer! We’re thrilled to hear that you find the platform user-friendly and helpful for setting up pages, managing content, and collaborating across your firm.

Administrative Clerk Law Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Loving the RedZone" April 23, 2025 4.0 I would say I have had a really positive experience using ThoughtFarmer. It has broadened my knowledge of the firm in ways I did not know I needed. Pros I like how the platform is easy to navigate, and you can also see which members are apart of each committee. Cons I do feel as though this platform requires a little extra technology knowledge when it comes to making posts on pages (i.e the movie or book recommendation pages) Review Source Response from ThoughtFarmer April 25, 2025 Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with ThoughtFarmer! We’re thrilled to hear that you find the platform easy to navigate and that it has helped you learn more about your firm — that’s exactly the kind of impact we hope to have. Broadening knowledge and making internal connections easier is core to what we aim to deliver. If you ever have suggestions or need support, our team is always happy to help! JH John H. Communications Specialist Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "John Hamilton - Assiniboine Credit Union" January 8, 2025 4.0 Positive, overall. As an admin, it's easy to manage and report on. Pros The fact that changes to links and profile information cascades thoughout the site. For example, a reporting relationship change to a supervisor funnels down to the employee's profile. It's also super-intuitive, which makes it easy for non-web people to create and manage their own sites. Cons The necessity of removing or re-"owner"ing all of a user's content before being able to remove them from the system. I know it's a "social intranet" but the ability to share working files right in the system (i.e., allow multiple people to work on the same document) would be a huge improvement. Review Source AS Amy S. Executive Assistant Legal Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "User Friendly Platform" April 24, 2025 5.0 Pros ThoughtFarmer is user friendly and offers great customer support. Cons I don't have any complaints based on my fairly limited experience to date. Review Source VA Veronica A. Manager Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ThoughFarmer intranet is great for your business!"

Marketing Assistant Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Thoughtfarmer Review " October 21, 2024 5.0 they were great to work with and would recommend to others. Pros Enjoyed the ability to customize to our liking Cons We had to transfer over everything over on our own which took a while to swift through and we had to get others involved. Review Source RB Robin B. Internal Auditor Warehousing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ThoughtFarmer self-hosted Intranet" August 11, 2021 5.0 Very professional company with friendly and helpful employees that offers great customer service and tech support. Pros The product is very user friendly, has a great user interface and is also very intuitive for admins. Features are abundant, all elements for a great employee intranet are present. Cons Setting up can be quite tedious, as is managing the read and write access for each post and page. In the end, this benefits the user though. One thing that is missing is a chat functionality, although this can be easily solved by having one of the standard collaboration tools installed. I do however believe that with the latest version of the software (that we are currently not on), you are able to integrate with MS Teams. Herewith, the chat function will become available. Review Source PH Philip H. Applications Administrator Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ThoughtFarmer User" June 11, 2024 5.0 Pros ThoughtFarmer support is always on its A game. I have never had an issue with them and they are always responsive. There are so many options you can use with TF and I really like the ability to customize. Cons I would say I would like to see more Administrative Change reporting. Some companies get audits and we need to know a history of changes done by administrators. Review Source KW Kendall W. Systems Administrator Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Thoughtfarmer very useful" June 12, 2024 5.0 Tech Support was so helpful with our migration. They were very complete with their planning and were there every step of the way. They continued to be there as we worked out a few small post migration issues. Thank you ! Pros This is a great tool to help get news out across the company, organize employees, and just documentation in general. I am more in a support role and do not utilize all the functions that it provides. Cons I do not have anything bad to say about Thoughtfarmer. We just recently migrated our site to the cloud so still learning ins and outs on it Review Source KM Klaudia M. Operations Manager Legal Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "ThoughtFarmer Review" May 13, 2024 5.0 Pros ThoughtFarmer has allowed our organization to have a centralized hub where we can disseminate information, store important policies, and incorporate operational workflows through forms. Cons The forms feature and analytics features could be more robust. Review Source DK David K. IT Director Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Collaboration made easy" October 20, 2020 4.0 Pros You can set up a corporate Intranet quite easily with this product. There are a lot of out-of-the-box cool templates, features and functionalities. Integration with Active Directory is also a very nice feature, the security of the sections of our Intranet isa based on AD Security Groups. Support is quite excellent also! Cons Document collaboration and and co-authoring is not really possible. Working with files is still difficult in ThoughtFarmer. You can upload Word documents , and edit it using a small app that runs on your computer. Unfortunately, sometimes the files get lock, and changes get lost. As a workaround, we've started linking files on Office 365 to collaborate instead of having the files directly on the Intranet.
