It provides a structured approach to trend scouting, technology monitoring, and idea management. Once you get familiar with the platform, it significantly improves transparency and decision-making. Pros Intuitive platform for managing innovation portfolios. Strong visualisation tools for trends, technologies, and roadmaps. Excellent collaboration features that make cross-team work seamless. Cons Initial learning curve for new users can be steep. Some advanced features require additional configuration. Integration with external tools could be smoother. Review Source R Reviewer Senior Innovation Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Holistic solution for e2e innovation workflow" February 12, 2024 4.0 Pros One platform to keep the overall picture on innovation activities Setting relations between elements Visualizations: Radars, Portfolio and Network graphs Cons Issues, bugs, and not always thought through functionalities Pricing structure with up-selling business model and a lack of transparency is an issue Review Source AW Adrian W. Engineer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Essential Tool for Foresight Activites and Managing Portfolio of Projects" March 18, 2025 5.0 I have found ITONICS to be an invaluable tool for the foresight activities after having established the software within our business line two years ago. In addition, we recently started to track and manage our internal projects to have a better portfolio view of our activities. The platform offers a wide range of features and with it our ability to anticipate industry shifts and continuously improve our products has been tremendous. The visualizations provide a structured overview of our information to facilitate better decision making and also strategic planning in terms of product improvements. Pros What I like most about the product is its powerful visualizations like the radar and the matrix and the connectivity of these data points. The platform is highly configurable which was ideal as some changes needed to be made during the softrolllout. With the landing pages, we were able to guide users and specifically show what was relevant for the stakeholder group. In terms of service, I greatly appreciate the support of all customer facing teams, their commitment and dedication to bring out the best for us. Cons Setting up the platform took more time and effort than we expected. It was a bit of a challenge, but the ITONICS support was there to guide us through the process. While some features are missing, the product team is constantly improving the product which is great to see.

Interesting communication-Plattform Cons The Mobile-Version was not handy at all. Review Source Kai G. CEO Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "The perfect customizable trend and strategy management " April 15, 2025 5.0 As an experienced foresight practitioner and futurologist I love working with ITONICS tools - both for me and my clients the ecosystem works just perfect. Pros ITONICS is by far the most comprehensive platform for the management of trends, innovations and strategies - and it comes with a beautifully optimized UX. Even without a training, many of my clients see the benefits at first glance. Cons A minor thing is that some clients I work with aren't fluent in English, so they might need a translation. But I guess the team is already working on that. Review Source R Reviewer Innovation Manager / Foresight Lead Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "My tool of choice!" September 21, 2023 4.0 In general very good, especially customer service / client relationship. Pros Itonics depicts the whole innovation process drom the first weak trends/signals to innovation fields, opportunities and cases. Everything is in one place - we call it the single source of truth. Cons I‘m missing a button on an entity page back to the entity overview. F.e.: I‘m looking at a single trend and would like to go back to the trends overview page. Now i have to go to the menu and click on „trends“, which leads me to the top of the list - even though I was looking at trends located in the middle of the list.Plus, once you know how to handle the backend of the tool, it‘s not that hard to make changes. But if you don‘t use it regularly, it‘s quite hard to find what you are looking for.

Pros The set up, configuration and collaborative features have been integral to our programme over the last two years. The import and export features are very efficient too. Cons There are significant features gap in relation to the visualisation of signals and ability to generate insights from the platform. Also, the pricing model can be confusing (modules move in and out of the core each year) and could be simplified. Review Source R Reviewer Responsible for Data and Analytics Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Would choose again" October 31, 2023 4.0 Pros The platform is highly customizable. The options are many, the functions in most cases good and well thought out. The platform really enables us to work with different people on many different topics. Especially the customer service is a huge plus. Salome and Matthias are a big help in making our use-case as good as possible. They are very invested and interested in our success. The first-level support by Franzi also works like a charm. Cons Sometimes the features are not consistent. The translations to DE and FR still need improvement.
