"Great team and overcame some tough staffing issues with extra effort on their end."

Pros: Ease of software use was appreciated by all on the team. Customization options are endless with options to setup for multiple internal organizations.

Cons: It did take time to gather our team to set it up how we wanted, but that's more of an organizational issue on my company's end.

"Excellent customer service, need to mature change process"

Overall: After one year working with Ezassi, functionality issues were still happening, this gives a perception of inestability and low quality. This was during our global launch so it made a great impact.

Pros: Openess to customize the platform according to specific needs.

Cons: Overall visual design, user experience for both social and admin user, change process and final design are things that need to be improved.

Alternatives Considered: Qmarkets, HYPE Innovation and Planview IdeaPlace
Reasons for Choosing Ezassi: Promise of flexibility to customize and great customer service. However, it's proven to be a long way to get to where we need.

"Highly Customized One Time Use"

Overall: We provided a list of additional features needed. Ezassi said they could develop them all. They were responsive throughout the process to our requests. However, they started late and did not accurately anticipate the timing for this project and so everything was delivered late. We had hoped to be able to QA when everything was done. Instead we had to do it while features were still being built. We very much appreciated their flexibility when changes were needed. The team is great to work with.

Pros: Good basic platform and committed engineers.

Cons: We had to do a lot of configuration and that took longer than expected.

Reasons for Choosing Ezassi: Promise of good customer service.

"tech search pharma"

Overall: My experience with Ezassi has been to purchase a specific technology search for my compnay. I did not buy the software and has no actual user experience. The company provides great support for such searches. However, the company had ( 2018) little experience in the pharma/dryg delivery industry. The software/search provided a few interesting and valuable hits but I believe there is much more there to be found. I hope the data base has expanded more and that the (critical!) search words has been developed. The difficulty is to translate the tech need into good search terms. Ezassi provided to little support in this context, perhaps due to limited experience.

Pros: I liked that the search was able to find unexpected hits

Cons: The data base (in 2018) may have been large but limited in the specific sector.

We have reached out to you via email and want to let you know that we have significantly increased our database to include over 50,000 scientific journals and increased our SME network in a variety of areas from drug delivery to packaging, etc. Since your project we have updated and refined our scouting process (instructed approach on the challenge we are solving). In retro spec we look at your challenge as 6 separate challenges in one. We are far more successful when we focus on one challenge at a time and give a complete landscape around that specific topic rather than providing multiple insights on different challenges. We have also created a brief questionnaire to help deconstruct technologies and uncover relevant search terms. We would love the opportunity to show you our new tool.

"Ezassi - Offering value for their services"

Overall: Ezassi has been great to work with, especially using their Tech Scouting services. They've proven that they are dedicated to our team to help resolve any issues or challenges that have come up, they go the extra mile to uncover new connections/data for us, work within a timely manner, and offer reasonable pricing for their services.

Pros: It helps manage our long list of ideas into a repository and allows us to evaluate the ideas based on a custom criteria. Also like that we can include any of our tech scouting project data into the system as well.

Cons: Don't use it to it's full extent as it lives outside of our company networks/new product development systems. Only manages the front end of innovation....would be more beneficial to be able to tie into Oracle or other full-cycle product management systems.

"Good first few experiences with Ezassi"

Overall: The team at Ezassi has been very responsive and helpful.

Pros: It was easy to use out of the box, including the web access and able to run with zero integration (initially).

Cons: Becoming proficient to get the most out of the platform is difficult today. For me the guidance on best practices seems to be lacking. Also, I suspect every business that aquires Ezassi has the challenge to improve their culture of innovation. The platform could begin with a stock problem in a test environment.

Reasons for Choosing Ezassi: The Ezassi team was willing to bundle technology platforming and scouting with idea capture. Those capabilities are a high priority for us together.
Reasons for Switching to Ezassi: Ezassi was willing to combine the tech platform with ideation.
