### "Excellent Software for Building Engagement, Real Connections, and Feedback "

August 12, 2020

5.0

This has been one of my best purchases this year. I need to pivot my business in these chaotic times and at the brainstorming and idea refinement stages Ideanote allows me to throw as many ideas out there as I have and capture them for later review. I can improve those ideas and designate them for action within the software, too. Important also for me, there is a totally functional and well-designed app so that I can capture ideas and feedback on my phone, no matter where I am. Now I just need a way to capture all the ideas I have in the shower! <grin> In short, I'm having a great experience with this program so far - and I'm only a new user so I'm sure there is more to discover.

Pros

I have about a zillion ideas in my head at any one time, and I was looking for a way to not only capture them somewhere so I wouldn't forget them, but also to try and develop and improve them. I also wanted a way to involve my colleagues and get feedback and input from my current and potential clients. Ideanote let's me do all that easily. And I do mean easily. I think I had my first few ideas captured within about 5 minutes - without ever reading a tutorial. The customer service has been outstanding so far, answering my few questions quickly and clearly. The onboarding was smooth and speedy and the interface is clean, both graphically and logically so I can see what I've done and where to put my ideas without thinking too much about it. I'd much rather be concentrating on my ideas than on how to get them into the software, and because everything is so intuitive, that's exactly what happens. I especially love that I have the possibility of embedding a request for ideas into my website - that way I can engage with and get feedback from my visitors. That's a huge benefit to me. It's so much more interactive than just offering a survey. I can go deep and discover new needs and new issues that I wouldn't otherwise know about.

Cons

I'd love a little more flexibility in renaming some things. I want Missions to be called something else, perhaps Issues, or Burning Fixes or whatever I choose for that particular audience issue. I'd also

### "Innovation-Ideas Hub and amazing customer support!"

June 16, 2020

5.0

Ideanote is very intuitive; the layout is very slick, inspiring and attractive. It's definitely a strong and well thought solution for any kind of business for sure. Doesn’t' matter how big or small your business is. Its great that you can even switch the platform between several different languages if you speak other languages than English!

Pros

You may have the best software tool on earth but if you don't count with the support of their creators there isn't much you can do moving ahead. The people behind Ideanote are one of the best support experiences I ever have. Not just the help or support tools they may already have available online. As a client you count with the option to do a virtual face-to-face support with them which, I found invaluable and that tells you their passion and commitment to help. Plus, their tool is indeed one of the best I ever seen to innovate ideas that you and your team may have been working on. No more having to share ideas on emails where they get lost with other emails, or ideas lost on virtual conversations where each team member is taking its own notes and are lost in notebook papers, post-it or other tools, etc. Ideanote comes precisely to rescue in that sense! You have your own central hub for ideas and you just expand and grow from there! I recently started to use the tool and already had my one-on-one support video call that proof to be so helpful, that I'm feeling even more excited of what I could accomplish with Ideanote! Alfredo

Cons

I haven't found any that I could nail down yet.

### "Ideanote spurs creative thought and innovation"

June 15, 2020

5.0

Ideanote is amazing for finding new marketing ideas that we would have never come up with othewise. We have a unique use case for Ideanote in that we try to crowdsource news and feature story ideas. The Ideanote software can even help brainstorm the best ideas for team bonding. The irony is that all of us are bonding on Ideanote as we are planning ways to bond as a team!

Pros

Crowdsourcing ideas is harder in a post-Covid 19 world. Without roundtable meetings and interoffice discussions that used to be commonplace, innovation has suffered for many companies. Then, we found Ideanote. Ideanote allows full discussion of ideas with a UI that is second to none. We are a news organization that can now discuss ideas for new investigations and stories along with changes to help our business grow more profitable. The visualization of ideas on Ideanote is especially gratifying, and an unlimited number of guests can be allowed to comment on any idea. Ideanote is a gamechanger for our business.

Cons

I stare at a computer all day, and I would love Ideanote even more with a "darkl mode" option. Please implement this as soon as possible. However, the UI is very pleasing to the eye. I just love having the option of dark mode - especially when I am working in the evening hours.

Reason for choosing Ideanote

Ideas are easier expressed when the user experience is stellar. The UI is second to none on Ideanote with all functionality and even some surprising added features that makes the experience fun for people to explore.

### "This is exactly the tool I have always needed"

September 3, 2020

5.0

I give this software a 20/10. There is so many ways I will apply team for both myself, my team and the communities that we work with. The process of Refining and developing our ideas will never get any easier than this!

Pros

I am that dude that is always working on a new idea and I usually use a combination of a bunch of software to not only keep track of my ideas, their progress but also to get feedback. Ideanote is a gamechanger for me! Not only for myself but for my entire team. The ease of use and the ability to easily collaborate with my team to refine idea is simply mind-blowing and every single steps gets tracked. Our social enterprise works a lot within community so the potential of this tool to also help us gather feedback from the community is limitless as it allows us to collect feedback and ideas outside of our organization with limited hassle for our community. I am excited to use ideanote to its full potential!

Cons

It is really hard to say. I think the limit on the storage space which is 50 GB is something but really we will definitely not reach that but you can also link external files to easily avoid reaching that limit. We don't deal with a lot of heavy files in our day to day and when they are that heavy, we will just store them in our google drive.

### "Best Innovation Forum App for the Value"

December 7, 2021

5.0

After testing several forum solutions, we decide to give a shot and after months, we make a great choice. It just works with owr wordpress site as stated.

Pros

The price is just perfect for what it offers. Other players are umpayable for small business, so is a great deal.

Cons

Should improve the speed of reload, but in real use, is a great solution for the price.

### "Don't Miss Out On Sharing Ideas"

June 19, 2020

5.0

Pros

In an era where open innovation is encouraged, idea management apps are a good proposition. Ideanote delivers what it promises. It's UI is clean and offers an easy to follow user experience. It can be utilized as an idea sharing portal or you can embed specific questions to your website to collect ideas from your visitors. I find the ability to bring our internal team together with our external stakeholders valuable. White labeling and customization options are important for strengthening the team identity and encouraging participation. Finally, Ideanote provides a high level of customer service.

Cons

The cost may be too high for small businesses. They could consider offering special pricing for startups in the future. Today's small teams and entrepreneurs may become the enterprises of tomorrow, and both segments are Ideanote's target market.

### "Interesting method of capturing insights and innovation"

June 27, 2020

5.0

It is making the process of collecting feedback from clients much more smooth, and less like a chore. Also works internally, so we can sub-divide and compare ideas collected from clients and colleagues alike.

Pros

Really simple to set up and not hard for team members to join either. The SSO integration makes it pretty easy, less passwords to remember. Capturing innovations is quite nice, and I like the built in data analytics features (especially when you can visualise where the ideas came from, from what countries etc.) It makes giving feedback from clients seem much more like a contribution rather than a chore. The ability to whitelabel using CNAME was also very helpful for branding (adds that little bit extra for clients).

Cons

I feel as if the software is still being developed, and is in the process of being refined. Something definitely to focus on in the future would be more documentation on an API, especially for automating data extraction but these are just nice to haves.

### "Awesome! really like it..."

June 20, 2020

4.0

for all of them .. I can still only use it internally ... because I have an idea to gather public users in collaborating to create something ... it's just that because email users still appear I undo this idea ... overall I like and really help my team in collaborating ideas

Pros

because I have a creative team and the contents are all young people ... so it is very helpful to pour all the ideas here ... and we can see which ones have the most interactions and that goes to the next stage ... amazing!

Cons

some features such as email all users still appear in the idea ... because if we are set to public a mission, the email user will be seen by others ... even though if there is a public menu, I really take care of user privacy ... so it's best to hide .. Likewise when you want mentions, private features should not appear when mentions, so the public can only mentions users in the mission alone

Reason for choosing Ideanote

because it makes it easy for me and the team to collaborate on ideas

### "Inspiring Design Thinking and Exploration of Ideas"

December 2, 2020

5.0

Pros

Based on my personal experience on the platform, what I like is: 1. Capacity to scale 2. Simple to use 3. Fully functional idea-innovation management 4. User control of idea sharing i.e public or private, internal or external, local or Global etc 5. Courteous, generous, and responsive support team 6. Great analytics and reporting dashboards. All I can say, is you need to use it to believe the value of this product in your journey of creating a more inclusive workplace and generating ideas to enhance your work and work culture.

Cons

What do you dislike? 1. Emails cannot be fully white-labeled. 2. Templates displayed on the ideanote.io site, cannot be directly imported into the workspace. 3. Rating does not include custom parameters or we cannot have a forced ranking of ideas. 4. Admin access is limited. No control over defining default sharing settings for teams or workspace.

### "Well designed and expanded the way I can think about new ventures"

August 3, 2020

4.0

Pros

I really loved this app, I find it really fun and simple to use. It is well designed, very creative and user friendly. There is a lot of thought that has been put into creating features from simple idea management to more more complex tasks. it is quite easy to add new topics for discussion and also for guests to add comments. It has expanded how I can work with my ideas, and I have found that getting further input and comments from people I know and work with has allowed me to speed up my conceptualisation and planning. it is just what I needed in this time of restrictions to find new innovative ways to create products that add value.

Cons

Only thing I’d like to see also on it is a notification system to deliver notifications on changes to any project faster as this was a bit lagging. But still Loving the system.

Ideanote is a next generation tool that lets us collect data from the peoples. We can implement their idea if we found 8t interesting. It has many innovative ideas from the talented peoples.

Cons

Ideanote is best for innovative ideas but their should be more features for users.

### "Impress the customers"

July 24, 2020

5.0

My overall impression is great. Everything seems well organized and thought through. The initial challenge is that it is very different from just adding tasks to the backlog as most developers are used to. It takes time to get used to it. Don't move everything at once or you may risk giving up. Define a few areas you want to improve, create missions to collect those ideas, and go from there. Everything is straightforward and easy to learn once you get used to it. Keeping ideas separate from tasks helps me focus and be more productive.

Pros

Ideanote feels very professional and the user interface is fantastic. Having a dedicated tool to collect and manage ideas takes idea management to the next level. Streamlining your workflow from idea to implementation is amazing but what is even better is the impression it creates. For customers and co-workers alike the message is clear - you value their opinion. It makes them more inclined to share feedback because they believe it will make a real difference since you put time and money into properly managing their ideas.

Cons

Not really a con but rather something I would love to see in the future is more integrations. Ideanote extracts the innovation and brainstorming part out of your project management system but does not replace it. Ideanote focuses on what it does best, managing ideas, and that is a good thing but once you have collected, organized, and prioritized the ideas it is time to move that task into a project management system. Introducing Zapier integration or even better a real open API solution will solve that problem.

### "I seriously had no idea how awesome this Saa was until I tried it each day for 2 weeks (No Brainer!)"

July 17, 2020

5.0

Pros

The software was unbelievably well designed and what appears as a lot of whitespace initially is there for a reason. There is no clutter except the clutter that you make as you slowly pull each idea from your mind, whether ordinary or amazing, it comes out. From a leaders perspective, the structure of the Software helps you word your problem or painpoint articulately and encourages your team or selected brainstrust to run with your issue and come up with fantastic solutions. Your group can be anything from yourself tosome rediculous number that I will never have at my fingertips.

Cons

As I mentioned in the Pros, at first the software was very bland in the sense that there was a lot of whitespace but this changes very soon the second you start populating your ideas and getting input from other team members.

Pros

I run agency business and everything goes as idea. Even we had lot of trello boards managing and naming ideas, idea validation, ideas in action etc... But still those as task. As it matched so much with process I am doing offrecords from last 5 years and was trying to build something like that but thanks to ideanote for saving my time to focus more on usage and less on building...

Cons

Nothing as such for now but would love to have deadline when idea is moved to action phase.

### "Ideanote is truly an innovation"

August 8, 2020

5.0

With my marketing team, we discuss a lot but we often lose the ideas exchanged and sometimes difficult to find the old post it notes with ideas mentioned in the past. With Ideanote all ideas are stored and organized

Pros

First of all, I really liked the user interface. Modern, clean and efficient. Ideanote is truly an innovation. I never thought that such a tool could exist. At first I was reluctant but when I signed up for free I was able to test Ideanote for 14 days and understood its power and usefulness. Today, I use it internally to develop our ideas but also to collect ideas from our clients. Ideanote is really easy to use, you just need to create a project and ask a question. Then share the link with the members of your team, the people of your choice or your customers and prospects and collect their answers and ideas. If you wanted to innovate and stay tuned to your target audience then do not hesitate to order this application. I am sure you will not be disappointed!

Cons

Some French translations to improve. But I'm sure the Ideanote team will do whatever it takes to correct this

Pros

A quick review of Ideanote.io: ◉ The User Interface is very easy to use and grouping ideas is simple to do ◉ Using the ready made templates makes it easy to get started ◉ Sharing ideas to collaborate with a larger group is easily done via the share button ◉ Customising the Ideanote.io portal using your own domain was straightforward ◉ Insights reporting gives you a good global representation of idea generation

### "Adds Process to Brainstorming Without Killing Creativity"

December 2, 2020

5.0

Pros

As someone who has long struggled with finding a balance between encouraging all ideas and then efficiently shepherding the best ones to fruition, I love Ideanote. First the format allows introverts as well as extroverts to share in the discussion. This is important, as those who do better with the time and space to consider ideas often get overlooked during brainstorming sessions. As a process and operations person I was immediately draw to the fact that a rating tool and clear path forward are built into the system. This is hugely helpful when herding cats.. (creatives). Ideas are fun and exciting, however implementation is where they become an asset to the business. The widget option bridges the gap to easily access the public on specific issues.

Cons

I would really appreciate if an account could have more than one company name in it. As an entrepreneur I wear multiple hats, and it would significantly expand the value of an account.

Ideanote made it really easy for me and my team to generate, implement and measure ideas. it has helped us switch from a multi tool set up to a simple and powerful set up to run our ideation exercises (internally and with our customers). i would highly recommend Ideanote.io to any organization that is among at taking its creative and idea generation game to the next level!

Pros

1-Ingenuity of the design 2- Makes Ideation a lot easier 3- Ease of Use 4- Superior Analytics 5- Ability to make the product your own

Cons

Can’t seem to find any! the product is well thought through and beautifully designed. it suits all my company’s needs

### "The best tool for Business Design or Growth"

June 16, 2020

5.0

As a growth team in a design studio, Ideanote fit perfectly in my process of creating ideas, prioritizing and experimenting. I can measure everything from the amount of ideas to the impact of their implementation.

Pros

The interface is friendly and simple, the experience inside the tool is excellent and makes sense. For example, kanban stages are the best. When it comes to prioritizing ideas by impact, effort or any other criteria, we only have 4 options, which is perfect! It is possible to personalize impact, colors, kanban stages, prioritization steps... I'm really enjoying it.

Cons

Maybe, if we have a roadmap to idea implementation it will be nice.

### "Great for creating and collecting pre-structured homework for students/Great customer support"

July 8, 2020

5.0

The support from Ideanote is great. Inquiries are answered extremely fast and competent. Example: When I started using Ideanote, it was not yet possible to delete members (students) that I had added to the system (it was only possible to deactivate them). Support told me that this option makes sense for the platform as a whole and that the corresponding function will be introduced with the next update. This was not an empty promise: Two weeks after my request the feature was integrated into Ideanote.

Pros

The platform is intuitive to use and considerably facilitates the allocation and collection of student homework for which a structure can be defined. I currently use Ideanote to let students create questions for an online quiz. Through Ideanote I can easily give feedback on the created tasks myself. But more importantly, students can easily give feedback to each other. I am sure that I will use Ideanote for further student projects in the future. As mentioned before: Using Ideanote is always a good choice when tasks are assigned that can be pre-structured in detail and when collaboration is necessary..

Cons

So far I have not noticed anything negative about Ideanote. An idea for the further development of Ideanote might be to create the possibility to use several (different) idea templates within one mission.

### "Easy to use Project Ideation & organization - Simple & Effective."

June 15, 2020

5.0

Our team has been using a few different applications when working on new projects, specifically dropbox, Google drive & email. The main issues we've had were collaboration at the ideation process of the projects, developing the structure, the needs etc. Working with those other programs was hard to deal with because we had multiple files, folders and documents so tracking the progress and collaborating until we started using Ideanote.

Pros

What I like the most is the simplicity & ease of use. From creating new projects, inviting team members, developing ideas, commenting about other people's ideas etc. With Ideanote, everything is in one place, making the process clear and simple.

Cons

We started using this app a few weeks ago so I do not have any negatives as of yet. In one way I want Ideanote to be more robust and do many more other things like project management tools but on the other hand, I appreciate the simple interface and focus of the app.

### "Indispensable for any type of work"

June 16, 2020

5.0

It tracks possible solutions to problems that you are facing especially when you have a number of businesses, diferent responsibilities and solutions for different sitiuations could pop up at the most unpredictable time. But if your laptop is available, it takes no time at all to note down what the idea was and you no longer have to have attention on remembering it or hoping that you don't forget what it was.

Pros

It is very easy to use. Once you are familiarized with its operation - off you go! The amount of lost ideas I had when doing another task continued to occur until I started using this piece of software. Now, when something comes to me that I am trying to resolve, I either add it to an existing mission or create a new one. I can now go back and track if the idea will be useful or not.

Cons

I haven't found any cons as the benefit outweighs any possible inconvenience which I can't find.
