Igloo Reviews

Its most important feature is its ability to combine with other daily office apps, its ability to combine with Office 365 tools is exceptionally developed and can be accessed from Igloo seamlessly and in a way that makes the user able to manage all their work from a central platform that has the features and needs of the user and no more, you have quick access to important information, key people and work procedures.

Like many Internet services and extensive add-ons, it has a large number of tools and resources that leave the user with no knowledge of the administration interface, which results in some problems at startup. The first use of this service was at the time of the presentation.

I use this software and i recommend to all .

It's easy to use and very reliable software

A great tool for client collaboration and file sharing.

Complex usage for new users and bit slow customer support.

One of my favourite things about Igloo is the support it gives on mobile devices. This has been an issue with other communication software, but not with Igloo.

The UI could use more functionalities, besides that it has been perfect.

Igloo is a simple, clean web based interface for project management and internal communication and collaboration. It offers a straight-forward approach to managing tasks and deliverables compared to other bloated services.

The last time I used Igloo, it could do with some additional project milestone and deliverable management features such as individual task assignment and progress updates.

It's an ok product to use as a file repository, but it's too basic once you reach certain complex requirements

The notifications are very poor. Calendar requests get lost in ether and it's not very user friendly

This is a great help on our duties. The feature that you can edit a document on MS office is a really great perk. This is a very easy to use software that we employees are able to utilize.

Looking up for some of the employees is difficult because we are somewhat thousands employed on our company. Still a good product on my opinion.

Igloo comes ready out of the box for you to use it. It contains the basic tools for you to get an intranet up and running quickly. The product contains "solutions" that you can plug in for many common business functions like Employee Onboarding, Company News, Department Site, Project Sites. There is no technical complexity to getting the software up and running, its all about communication and change management within your organization.

There isn't much not to like about this product. It deploys quickly and easily. If anything I would say that they could build out the integrations a bit more.

The personal consulting from Igloo and customization were key to helping our organization scale our intranet/portal. The app is super simple to use, and integrates our global calendars, events planning tools, and other resources so perfectly for our fast-paced environment!

The people directory feature is not quite as nimble as I imagined it'd be for an organization of 700+ employees. We have a somewhat unique structure and it's been challenging to figure out how to look up teams, leaders and locations effectively. It would also be great to be able to add contact cards directly to my mobile device from the directory feature.

- Very easy to configure and deploy for your company - Users can maintain their own personal sites/information - Simple interface to add and modify information

- Not a fault of the software, but we had trouble with user buy-in that resulted in a slow ramp up process - User resistance was due in part to no comprehensive tutorial on how to navigate and use Igloo.

Igloo has everything - blogs, feeds, instant messaging, groups...etc. It really is full featured and can be customized anyway that works for your organization. Igloo also looks fantastic. Even right out of the box, the software shines and has a very new look and feel.

Igloo is very hard to set up and you need to pay for a higher tier of service to really get hands-on help. Since it's so exceptionally customizable, it's hard to (1) determine the best way to set it up and (2) actually set it up.

Easy to use and manage. Excellent customer support and service. Great value for the money. Always improving their product.

There is very little to dislike about this software. It does everything our organization needs it to do with very little customization.

allowed our team to gather useful information in one place, which we could search for later if needed. No longer using individual documentation and moving between platforms.

so far I have not run into any cons. I really enjoy the way this functions and how it has helped my department. Maybe some of the setup was difficult at first, so be prepared for a slight learning curve.

Ability for all users in the community to maintain their own spaces.

Would like to see some future enhancements in the searching capability and other little areas of functionality.

No pros were added to this review

No cons were added to this review

Ease of use - straightforward interface

version control is a little funky

Document management

Pictures are too small and can't click to view larger

Deployed with very little support from our IT team. Business was able to stand this up very quickly. Fast adoption by employees. Need only a small team to administer it.

Does not integrate with gmail. Limited sales force integration.

Ease of file upload. I like the broadcast functionality. Task workflow is good too at the document level.

I wish the viewing document box was bigger. I usually do download or edit document just to view the document in a larger size. I know you can hover over the date a document was uploaded for details of date and time. I have many documents saved and frequently I like to search by the most recent date and time to find the document quicker rather than the alphabetic view.

The availability of information from all departments for our company.

There are no ntaifications when new posts are added for the different departments. I am also frustrated with the search feature and the non-existant date/time stamps. When researching past posts, I try to do keyward searches but nothing populates to suit my purpose. Also, when scrolling to "view more" I find it inconvenient notto see the actual date a post was made but rather "2 weeks ago" or "13 days ago". I am not liking the fact that I have to hunt through the different

We have a large department that continually collaborates on certain files and folders in Igloo, so the fact that we can reserve or archive old material or versions is extremely helpful. I also really enjoy the fact that you can edit a document in word, powerpoint, or excel without the hassle of downloading a new version; you can simply open a document and save in one motion.

As easy as it is to use, sometimes it is too simple. Would like it to be more complex when designing pages, but it still looks great.

Very easy to manage and maintain. The ease of use helps to win buy in from your users. 95% of our company is up and running with uploads, postings, blogs etc.

There are certain limitations to the software that makes it necessary for a more time consuming work -around. Igloo is working hard utilizing their Client Success resources to implement enhancements to address these limitations.

It typically doesn't require many steps to perform the most common operations. It is also helpful that Igloo supports a variety of file types.

Some of this comes with working with the application I realize, but I wish you could find a way to make versioning more transparent. I recently received some helpful instruction from a fellow employee about uploading a more recent version of a document without having to delete the prior document and running the risk of messing up the path/location of the document (important because other departments link to that document from their own Igloo pages). After right-clicking, I realized how obvious the step was, but I wish there had been a way to show this on the page; I'll keep working with Igloo on this.

The widgets are easy to use and there seem to be a steady flow of enhancements from Igloo

Other than the knowledge base and FAQs, there doesn't seem to be a comprehensive "how to" guide. It would be great if there were videos explaining some of the more complicated features.

Igloo is “up and open” always, no matter the time or the time zone. Team members can collaborate and work on projects together, communicate in real time, and solve problems quickly and easily, even if they’re located on the other side of the world from one another and in different time zones. Streamline and organize - better work flow and less time spent of juggling multiple applications in different...

Hoping they include "the ability to communicate and have face time" with our team within your own space in the near future.

Thank you very much for this wonderful review of our product. We are glad to hear you are enjoying your Igloo experience. As for the ability to communicate and FaceTime with your team, while we do not offer videochats, you can most definitely set up "microblogs" (or dedicated social newsfeed) per team space where members of the same team can interact with each other. These feeds also allow for rich media (pictures, embedded videos, links, etc.). Hope this helps. Feel free to contact us for more information or to get help setting it up.
