Fantastic experience. Idea Drop is vested in our success!
We quickly saw the benefits of Idea Drop as teams throughout the business began collaborating, communicating and sharing ideas in ways we hadn't seen before with our existing tech stack.
Pros
Fast to onboard team members; very low training costs; highly intuitive design and user experience. The mobile apps are a big plus for us too as a number of our team members are rarely at their desk.
Cons
Would love to see wider integrations with other elements of our tech stack such as Slack and Office 365.

Lots of new ideas but more importantly , excellent collaboration between employees
Pros
It automatically does the job of reviewing and filtering out the best (and most relevant) ideas It doubles up as a communication tool
Cons
Can sometimes appear to want to do too much i.e. be all things at once. Its key benefit is creating a platform to share and filter ideas - need to be careful it doesn't become a platform for trying to run an entire business

Pros
You can post ideas in short words and you don't have to fill a lot of info to submit idea, which is a plus for the user as it will not turn them away from dropping new ideas to the portal.
Cons
Limited reporting features but this being a niche company, I'm sure they will add more reporting capabilities.

Excellent engagement with employees, participation by team members and superb quality of discussions and ideas created as a result of implementation.
Pros
Software is simple and easy to use.
Cons
Some of the filtering tools are a bit clumsy, but the team there is working diligently to upgrade them and I forsee some great changes in that department in the near future (bumping up my easy of use and functionality ratings in doing so!)

Overall, it's a great platform for any organisation to improve the process and achieve their transformation objectives. It also encourages staff communication & motivation.
Pros

Cons
Tagging system is not explained Inbox would be more useful to keep track of ideas as old ideas go down bottom the list.

As I mentioned above - I really am happy to see something finally come in to play to use as a platform for ideas!
Pros
That a platform like this is available. One central place - on line - no paper work needed. Many eyes can view this and can possibly be implemented a lot quicker than the paper trail or sending to a general box. Can watch the progress.
Cons
With more practice it will get easier to work with the program.
