Pros
I love that Ideascale is so passionate about helping companies reach their innovation potential. Understanding that even small ideas can have a big impact.
Their network of users is amazing for collaborating and helping each other. Great community all around.
IdeaScale meets all my agency needs in fostering a culture of innovation. We enjoy the ease of use, features, and the wonderful customer service.
Cons
Another platform is hard to get users to embrace... the government buys a lot of them. They die ignoble deaths.
No channel to submit/capture unsolicited ideas.
Understanding that some are hesitant to try “new things,” my team had to be diligent in our quest to use this platform for ideation.
