" November 2, 2017 5.0 Excellent engagement with employees, participation by team members and superb quality of discussions and ideas created as a result of implementation. Pros Great customer support and communication from the IdeaDrop team. Software is simple and easy to use. Cons Some of the filtering tools are a bit clumsy, but the team there is working diligently to upgrade them and I forsee some great changes in that department in the near future (bumping up my easy of use and functionality ratings in doing so!) Review Source SE Simon E. Managing Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Idea Drop has transformed the way we collect and action ideas across our business " September 6, 2016 5.0 We quickly saw the benefits of Idea Drop as teams throughout the business began collaborating, communicating and sharing ideas in ways we hadn't seen before with our existing tech stack. Idea Drop's fresh interface and intuitive social features made it quick to onboard our teams and we now rely on it to capture, enrich and action new ideas across the business on an ongoing basis. Pros Fast to onboard team members; very low training costs; highly intuitive design and user experience. The mobile apps are a big plus for us too as a number of our team members are rarely at their desk. Particularly like the status tool, which enables us to align our workflow with ideas and keep everyone in tune with what we're doing with the ideas they share. Cloaking is popular too enabling staff to hide their identities when sharing ideas. Cons Would love to see wider integrations with other elements of our tech stack such as Slack and Office 365.

Project Coordinator Entertainment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Microgaming" July 10, 2019 4.0 Positive experience and the staff are really helpful even after post launch. Turnaround on issues is resolved in good time Pros Easy to use and fit for purpose. Optimized for mobile. The score system is great Cons There are a few restrictions on reports, manually having to request monthly innovation score reports. Branding is restricted. Doesn't allow you to upload videos. You don't get notified every time a new idea comes through unless you follow that person, difficult with on a huge scale. Review Source Response from Idea Drop July 17, 2019 Dear Roxanne, Thank you so much for taking the time to submit a review.

Worked hard to engage with us and win our trust." October 31, 2017 5.0 Ability to gather ideas and opinions from a wide range of our user communities. Being able to 'cloak' ideas means that some of our more reluctant users can contribute without feeling too exposed. Pros The solution is intuitive, well presented and can be picked up easily by users. We are currently in the pilot phase and found that all of our team could very quickly familiarise themselves with IdeaDrop. They were able to contribute ideas and discussion points very quickly. Cons Cost of additional Consulting services could be more competitive. We would be keen to engage if the price was lower.

You can post ideas in short words and you don't have to fill a lot of info to submit idea, which is a plus for the user as it will not turn them away from dropping new ideas to the portal. Cons Limited reporting features but this being a niche company, I'm sure they will add more reporting capabilities. Review Source MA Melissa A.

MSS Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "As I see it" July 9, 2019 5.0 As I mentioned above - I really am happy to see something finally come in to play to use as a platform for ideas! Pros That a platform like this is available. One central place - on line - no paper work needed. Many eyes can view this and can possibly be implemented a lot quicker than the paper trail or sending to a general box. Can watch the progress. Cons It's a bit busy and at the beginning a bit hard to navigate. The help is great but a more in depth tutorial would be very helpful. With more practice it will get easier to work with the program.

It automatically does the job of reviewing and filtering out the best (and most relevant) ideas It doubles up as a communication tool Cons Can sometimes appear to want to do too much i.e. be all things at once. Its key benefit is creating a platform to share and filter ideas - need to be careful it doesn't become a platform for trying to run an entire business Review Source FW Feli W.
