Jostle Features

Very easy to integrate with our business and has grown and improved as our needs have. Very user friendly, mobile app access is super simpleAllows us to easily connect and engage with all our employeesAllows us to share information, announcements, job postings and so much more..

Permissions, security settings and access setup could be improved.

Signing up with Jostle has cut back significantly on non-work related emails in the inbox. It allows our committees and event coordinators the freedom and access to post as things are happening. The ease of creating and posting is a HUGE asset.

Adding librarians is a bit cumbersome as well as the Teams section. Our HR admin doesn't feel it's user-friendly.

it is easy to post articles to it, the google intergration is nice, makes it easy to set up accounts and log in with for endusers. One of the best parts i would say is the people sections, it is nice cause it allows you see everyone from your company and this is nice when you have several offices like i do.

when posting articles some more and better customization would be nice, some more features would be good as well.

The system's user-friendly layout and straightforward interface are two of the aspects of Jostle that I appreciate the most. The many functions are neatly labeled and structured, allowing it simple to discover what you're searching for. It is also quite straightforward to browse. Also, I value the diversity of communication options Jostle provides, such as news feeds, web forums, and private messaging. The platform also has a number of collaboration options, such as tasks and file sharing, that facilitate more effective teamwork.

The thing I like lowest about Jostle is that a few of the more sophisticated capabilities, like connections with other software applications, maybe a little more challenging to set up and utilize. Furthermore, even though Jostle provides a wide range of customization choices, some users could believe that the platform's inflexible structure restricts their ability to design a really unique experience. The general usefulness and simplicity of the platform, in my opinion, exceed these very small drawbacks.

Jostle platform enables us (teams) in my organization to work together on the same projects, share files and ideas in one place.

Even though Jostle offers a free trial for 30 days, it lacks freemium version.

The way Jostle is set up creates a warm and familiar workspace, which is much needed in the era of remote work. Sharing content and accessing it is simple and adds a social media-like flavor to the working environment. It's pretty straightforward and looks like it can be integrated with most types of businesses without a problem.

As fun as the content management system is, it is possible for it to get quite messy without proper use from admins. Perhaps there can be intuitive guides for admins on how to keep things neat, relevant and organized. (Color coding?)

Ease of use, simple to use content curation features, ability to visually represent important information in an organized fashion. Very modern and polished.

The ability to disable certain features when they aren't being used. I think reporting and metrics could be more comprehensive and visual. Maybe the integration of some sort of visual dashboard that allows for goal tracking.

The Activity/News Feed is our favourite feature. The ability to export the feeds into an excel document is especially helpful - if we have a team member who gets recognized for outstanding work either by a colleague or client review, they get entered to win a prize. At the end of the month, I export the activity feed and put everyone into a draw. Jostle is fairly intuitive, which makes it easy for employees of all abilities to use.

I wish there was a way to make the news articles more custom (either with formatting options, font colours or types etc). I also find the Library section a little strange - lots of layers (categories, volumes, etc) and you have to individually assign people's editing abilities to each category and volume.

Easy to use, Affordable, Great Service, Interactive design, Attractive interface, Great user experience, Tons of storage, Speed, Great search feature

None

Ease and applicability

Can't think of any . . .

People-centric. Clear layout and navigation, easy for users to learn. Very easy to administer. Ability to leverage SAML SSO if your company has the IT resources.

Not many. File Library could be more robust. Lacks the ability to automatically age archive content.

No pros were added to this review

No cons were added to this review

the ability to control who sees what. Also to store everything in one central location

Events. Time consuming to post to. Too many options. Would be nice if we could customize the form for us, choosing only the items we want our employees to have available. Also - show time as busy so no duplication of events.

I found the activity feed quite useful to keep up to date with what people had posted, shared and commented on. It's a good way to share company news that doesn't go straight to your inbox. However, you can also set up email notifications for when something happens so you don't always have to be logged in. It's a good platform for connecting with the rest of the team that's separate to everything else you use (helps to keep it focused on the team).

There is no separate desktop app (for example, like Slack) so you do have to login to the website to fully access this. However there is a mobile app if you wanted to access this on the go.

Thank you very much for leaving a review of our platform and services. We are really sorry to see you were not fully satisfied with Jostle. We appreciate the opportunity to improve and would love to get more details from you as to what has led you to this low rating. We don't recognize your company name and would like to connect with you directly. Can you please reach out to us at dustin@jostle.me We will follow up right away! Thank you in advance!

Ease of use and loading content. Love the library, shout out features and being able to see birthdays and work anniversarys

I wish it could be customized a bit more to fit some of our unique needs.

This helps stay connected to our staff. We can publish exciting news along with important information. We vary the content so as not to become boring for our younger staff. We can track who is reading what information. A great directory of policy and procedures for our staff to be able to access.

Directory can be difficult to navigate

I like that only our company has access to it, and it seems to be safe

when I open the web page on my phone, the screen does not fit and I have trouble looking for things even if i rotate the phone the page does not appear as a whole I wish the "poll" option was to give alert times when the "poll" is about to end

How easy it is to start and reference conversations, make brand-wide announcements, and organize shift coverage through Classifieds

The "Teams" area is slightly hard to organize and a little less user friendly than the rest of the site.

Pretty yammer-like internal engagement and intranet application. There is document rendering, classified, team view diagrams, and more.

Spectacularly awful SSO integration support. It can be made to work but it was far more painful than any other vendor I've setup SAML authentication with. The documentation is horrible and even flat out wrong in some areas. 'Custom' domains are problematic (see SSO complaint above). Support and professional onboarding often consists of an email referencing aforementioned cruddy support documentation. They can (and will) setup platform breaking changes at a night's notice. This type of thoughtless customer engagement is what is prompting this review in fact.

Sorry that our support did not meet your expectations. We have set up a call with you to help us learn to get better.

Jostle makes it quite easy and efficient to work together especially for large number of team members.

Jostle works as expected and at least so far we have no negative experience that worth to mention here.

If you have employees that are in multiple locations, this product is a fantastic way of connecting everyone! From the field to the office, this product makes it super easy to provide project updates/shout outs, birthday/anniversary notifications, CEO motivational blogs, etc. The set up takes a minimal amount of effort, and makes it easy to keep the entire company up to date 24/7, since employees can log on from almost anywhere!

It's a stand alone product - which is by design - but results in some duplication of entry with other software.

Jostle creates a new way for employees to keep up with things in the company. The wiki-like structure unique, for sure, and the dashboard is easy to navigate. I also really like how it ties in external calendars and events so they're easy to find.

Jostle is a bit of a solution looking for a problem. We use it in addition to several other HR platforms (because it helps us meet some sort of security certification), but I don't find it very useful. It's not that it doesn't have useful features, it's that other platforms have better features. Yes, Jostle is unique, but that's not necessarily a benefit. I don't think we'd lose much if we stopped using Jostle, but that's probably just our particular team structure. Some organizations might find it very useful. Definitely don't just take my word for it. Give it a try.

I like that Jostle has made us unite in one encrypted location, where we share files, share ideas and reduce movement in our enterprise.

We have bewn able to work remotely with the help of this tool, I haven't encountered any issue yet.

It’s nice getting email notifications about update on Jostle

You have to sign in every single time, won’t let you click on notification and get in

Hi there! Thank you for your review :). When you first log in there is an option you can choose that says "keep me logged in." That way clicking on a notification will take you right to it. If that option isnt' there, it means it was disabled by your organization.
