### "Best internal comms tool ever"

October 15, 2018

5.0

We have 80% non-deskworker and 20% desk worker. So our challenge was to get in dialogue with all employees. And we are! Furthermore we had an important and new channel to inform about actuall themes like reducing the accidents. And we have done it! -15% than last year!

Pros

Everything is easy to handle, for admins and also for users.

Cons

There is nothing in my mind ;) maybe a live-streaming tool would be great.

### "Easy to use software with some flaws in user/space management"

April 29, 2021

5.0

Good

Pros

Many features that can be used in different and various forms, lots of space for creative use cases and (mostly) easy to use.

Cons

The backend structure can be very unintuitive and hard to understand, connecting different organizations sometimes is hard and not very easy to do. User management and invitation could also be a bit more intuitive and I feel like from a UX and design standpoint of view Staffbase might be a bit outdated.

November 27, 2020

5.0

The collaboration with Staffbase works wonderfully, especially the quarterlies are always very enlightening.

Pros

The product is easy to use - nice features and widgets.

Cons

It would be nice if the app worked even better on the mobil version. The representation often is not similiar to the desktop version or is completely destroyed.

### "Easy to use and administer!"

July 25, 2018

5.0

Our employees are more connected now than they have ever been. The employee directory, news feed, jobsite webcams and resources make their jobs easier and more rewarding.

Pros

Administration is very manageable to my busy schedule. Posting news and resources for employees can be done in a matter of minutes. Love the push notification function of the App. The employee directory is our most utilized function.

Cons

As the administrator, I wish I could have access to profiles in order to manually change items such as titles and job location. I do not want to have to do entire CSV import for just one person.

### "Communication Management as its best"

April 9, 2016

5.0

Seems like an app has never been as useful and important before Staffbase. We already thought we're informing our staff well enough but THIS app increases success of promotions/jobs immediately! If you want to get new staff supported, existing staff informed and customers satisfied, this is your solution.

Pros

\- customer support - independence (you're able to setup the whole thing on your own and don't need to pay extra for service) - go online with your app in a few days (if you prefer a branded app calculate with at least 1 month) - reach staff with push news

Cons

None - except from negligible bugs which get eliminated within a few days

### "Überblick im Content-Plan wahren"

August 11, 2020

5.0

Pros

dirico.io ist leicht verständlich, trotz des großen Funktionsumfangs sehr übersichtlich und hilft insbesondere bei Online-Projekten dank des übersichtlichen Kalenders immens. Die vielen Filtermöglichkeiten und Ansichten wie Kanban ermöglichen, dass sich jeder Nutzer das Tool so einstellen kann, wie es seinen Vorlieben und (Job-)Anforderungen entspricht. Egal, in welcher Ansicht, jedem Nutzer wird sofort klar, welche Inhalte zu erstellen sind oder bereits zur Veröffentlichung vorliegen, bis wann Deadlines fällig sind und wer im Team welche Aufgabe und welchen Content übernimmt. Das erleichtert, den Überblick bei crossmedialen Content-Plänen zu wahren.

Cons

Eine dezidierte Funktion zur Redaktionsplanung regelmäßiger erscheinender Printmagazine wäre topp! Aktuell muss man sich dafür mit kreativer Nutzung des Tools behelfen.

Reason for choosing Staffbase

Die leichte Bedienbarkeit, die Übersichtlichkeit in Anbetracht des großen Funktionsumfangs und das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis sprachen für dirico.io.

### "Anwenderfreundliche Mitarbeitenden-App, die sich immer neu erfindet. "

June 18, 2021

4.0

Pros

Bedienbarkeit sowohl als Administrator\*in als auch als Nutzer\*in sehr einfach und intuitiv. Guter & schneller Support. Gute Unterstützung beim Rollout. Stetige Weiterentwicklung. Gute Vernetzungsmöglichkeiten durch Angebot von Konferenzen/Workshops etc.

Cons

Die Kunden von Staffbase sind individuell in Branche und Unternehmensgröße. Daher wäre es manchmal wünschenswert, wenn einige Funktionen optional angeboten würden und der Kunde selber entscheiden kann, ob es für ihn sinnvoll ist oder nicht. Dies erhöht die Flexibilität.

Reason for choosing Staffbase

Gutes Angebot (Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis), Umsetzung musste innerhalb weniger Tage geschehen (Krisenkommunikation in der Pandemie)

### "Empfehlung!"

December 4, 2020

5.0

Einfach und praktisch für User und Admins sympathische Kundenbetreuung, professioneller und schneller Support

Pros

Dass das Produkt für Admins UND User von Anfang an großteils selbsterklärend ist. Die kontinuierliche Weiterentwicklung des Produkts und die regelmäßigen Newsletter über die Weiterentwicklung sind wirklich hilfreich.

Cons

Videos, die länger als ein paar Minuten dauern oder größere Datenmengen sind (noch) nicht für Staffbase geeignet, weil sie lange Ladezeiten verursachen und den User das Interesse verlieren lassen. Daran wird aber gearbeitet.

### "Great value, dedicated support team via videochat !"

September 30, 2021

5.0

Great team, open and honest.

Pros

Cost, easy for users, video recorded tutorials you can share with your champions, they train big teams if you want to delegate the set up, simple for champions to get used to creating content, easier than a website, has a public side, can be used like an intranet, has workflows, chat feature, you get to see other companies examples so you can base yours on something similar to begin with, weekly calls where they guide and improv things for you, relaxed and easy to get on with the teams there. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] is very personable and attentive.

Cons

You can't search for news channels (big basic problem!). The set up process is 3 weeks minimum our side, with 4 weeks for app approval their side.

Reason for choosing Staffbase

Value for money, nice friendly team, relaxed, available.

### "Die Nr.1-App für interne Kommunikation"

December 6, 2020

5.0

Die vertikale Kommunikation, auch mit allen Non-Desk-Employees, die wir über klassische Medien kaum erreichen funktioniert hervorragend. Horizontale Vernetzung zwischen Beschäftigten, Teams und Bereichen bekommt eine ungeahnte (positive) Eigendynamik und insgesamt stärkt der Einsatz der App das Zusammengehörigkeitsgefühl enorm. Workflows/Geschäftsprozesse zu integrieren, steht bei uns noch am Beginn, nimmt aber auch schrittweise zu.

Pros

sehr userfreundliche, intuitive Menüführungen, für Admins, Redakteure und User keinerlei technisches Vorwissen nötig; großartiges Team, sowohl in der Technik, als auch Customer Care; kontinuierliche Verbesserung und neue Features in Absprache mit den Kunden; "community-building" zwischen Anbieter, Kunden und sogar horizontal zwischen Kunden funktioniert toll

Cons

Verzögerung bei der Listung im iOS-App-Store (lag aber mehr bei Apple, als bei Staffbase selbst)

Ein Boost bzw. Revolution in der internen Kommunikation.

Pros

Mehr Integration mit Drittsystemen (Suche etc.)

March 4, 2021

5.0

Pros

The look & feel of the App is simply great. Also, when we have any questions or recommendations, there is always someone from the Staffbase Customer Service that will help us out.

Cons

We frequently use widgets - some more widget options would be great. But there is nothing really I do not like about Staffbase.

### "Staffbase as employee communication tool at Automotive production site"

October 8, 2018

4.0

Pros

It's quick and easy to launch. The use for both end-user and administrator is intuitive. Available for iOS and Android.

Cons

The software is becoming the most important entry point for communication with employees. Linking other use cases and systems (like personal pay-roll report for example) would be a logical next step, however since the app is hosted in the Cloud there are some security concerns to further integrate the app in our application landscape.
