Great!
Crowdsourcing within your organization has never been so problematic before thanks to Ideawake, its gamification helps a lot and it boosts contributors’ motivation to validate their ideas. Innovation is an important part of any organization especially in the B2B Marketing and Advertising Industry where constant ideas need to be materialized so that innovation is in constant motion.
Maybe because of its great features, some contributors will think out-of-this-world ideas not out-of-this-box ideas hindering efficient gamification but we can handle it.

Ideawake has proved very worthy in my company's use case(s), we have found this platform as a large upgrade to our previous systems, most of which relied on multiple Microsoft products. As this software continues to grow and expand to allow for further functionality, integrating the platform into more of our departments seems inevitable.
◉ This software can be customized to fit each community's specific needs ◉ The software is very intuitive and easy to understand ◉ The development team is quick and effective when asks arrive from end users ◉ Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful in reaching desires of customers ◉ Integrating to this system from an older system is aided by helpful tools to move existing data to this platform
◉ Some features are still in development ◉ Some users may find the software difficult to navigate once receiving Admin access

Increased engagement, idea generation, innovation.
The ideas that we gathered have been an excellent starting point for a variety of projects and initiatives. The Ideawake platform allowed us to put a finger on the pulse of our organization in a way that would have taken a significant amount of time and effort in the past. We had a solid participation rate with very little training required.
We had a few instances where the software functions did not work properly and this impacted our ability to engage with users on their ideas. The Ideawake team did their best to quickly resolve the issues and were very responsive. However, some testing in advance of rolling out changes would be helpful.

Overall, a great solution for idea crowdsourcing and management. The Ideawake team is extremely supportive and has made incremental improvements to the platform based on feedback.
1. User-friendly interface and social features make idea crowdsourcing through Ideawake an engaging and almost effortless experience. 2. Workflow setup feature was intuitive and allowed for customized management of our innovation pipeline 3. Responsive and dedicated support team
1. There is room for improvement in the range of options available for providing feedback to participants, which is currently limited to email notification. 2. The ability to conduct deep-dive analytics for a pool of ideas post-evaluation within the platform is lacking. Improvement in this domain would save time and enhance decision making capacity.

When I was evaluating the options, one thing that stood out with Ideawake was the people. It's a big enough company to deliver top-notch software and customer service but small enough to know team members by name. Because Ideawake is nimble, our rep was able to customize the software to fit one especially complex idea challenge. They listen, respond quickly and value their customers.
It's easy for idea challenge participants to access the site through single sign-on, contribute ideas and interact with others by leaving comments or upvoting other people's ideas. One "complaint" we got from an early challenge was that it was so easy, people thought there had to be something wrong. Another huge benefit is its accessibility outside the network. Health care workers don't have extra time to use networked computers, so Ideawake makes it easy to engage with them on the smartphones, tablets or any computer.
The current version is a bit tricky to set up challenges, but the Ideawake team is very accessible and hugely helpful, so we lean on them for back-end help. Once an idea challenge launches, we can typically troubleshoot most issues. I have seen a demo of the next platform, which will make it easier for administrators, so this shouldn't be as much of an issue.
