Sideways 6 Likes & Dislikes

Like

Easy to access because it is completely integrated with Microsoft Teams. Easy to set up campaigns and manage users.

Like

Ease of use and customisable to our needs

Like

The platform was easily integrated into our other platforms enabling effective tracking of ideas within our innovation pipeline and creating stages and decision points that are easy to interact with. The quality reports across the workspace are enabling an improved overview of analytical data, allowing key areas of innovation to be identified.

Dislike

Limited options for viewing ideas. Messy Ideas board. No possibility for scoring ideas by a scoring committee Not enough possibilities to track users' engagement and actions

Dislike

UX on core product could be more refined and more intuitive

Dislike

The aspect of adding images to ideas needs to be further simplified to allow images to resize accordingly so that idea banners can look even better.
