    Pros
    Active Directory integration is nice. The support team is fantastic to deal with; quick to respond and supplies plenty of information.
    The organization and simplicity of this database will be easy for our employees to use, and hopefully they will enjoy using it.
    Support has been excellent and the resources available through the ThoughtFarmer community are also a great tool to help troubleshoot and resolve issues as we learned a new program.
    Cons
    This was frustrating for staff as they were not able to search information to do their day to day jobs.
    I believe in an effort to let our company drive the product and implementation, there was a bit of a lack of direction in terms of training.
    The features can be more intuitive, as some editing features on the front end can be a bit confusing for irregular users or novice users.

    A delight to use for Intranet Managers, Content Authors and employees

    Reviewed 5 years ago

    An easy to use Intranet portal with social capabilities that enable employees to be more engaged. Simplified infrastructure for on-premises, no need for massive server farms. Great setup and onboarding experience with their professional services team. Their support staff is stellar, fast and caring for your needs.

    Pros

    ThoughtFarmer's ease of use, and the easy deployment on-premises (although a cloud option is available) helped us implement our new Intranet on time and budget while providing users with a top-notch experience for corporate news, events and navigating different processes in our organization. Social features (likes, commenting, @ mentions) really empower our employees to have a voice be more engaged...

    Cons

    There are only 2 security roles, admin and user, so roles like help desk or others might get exposed to settings one might not want them to have. From an integration point of view, would like to see more integration with Office 365 as we use it for more day-to-day collaboration. A SharePoint integration is possible, but not sure if it will also work with SharePoint Online.

    Thought Farmer has exceeded our expectations on all fronts

    Reviewed 10 months ago

    We are able to 1. centralise all our communications (we are a global company so this was very difficult before); 2. give all users easy access to important company training and know-how; 3. provide a safe area where users can discuss off-topic/fun items to increase employee well-being; 4. foster a community spirit within the company. This has meant that employees are more informed so can do their job better and are also much engaged so are much more motivated.

    Pros

    The software is an incredibly easy to use but very powerful no-code platform which is one of the best examples of no-code I have ever seen. It's so easy to use that we have been easily able to show all users how to upload and modify content.

    Cons

    Thought farmer is organised around a pages and cards system (i.e you have to create new pages and then add cards to those pages). This worked really well for our company so we have no issues with this but I could see this being restrictive to others or maybe future projects we have.

    Excellent Customer Service

    Reviewed 3 years ago

    The customer service team at ThoughtFarmer is great. Every time there is an issue, or we don't know how to solve a question, we reach out to the team. They are speedy with their replies, and usually have very straight forward direction and imagery to help solve the problem. Thank you [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] for all of your help in the first year of our Intranet!

    Pros

    The software is overall straight forward to use. The Thoughtfarmer community page is a great way to learn tips and tricks on various software capabilities that we didn't realize were there.

    Cons

    Challenges with employees connecting to the intranet when off of our Network - but this also may not be a Thoughtfarmer problem! This has made it a bit challenging for our jobsite employees (who never come into the office) to get used to using the Intranet and integrating it in their daily lives. But everyone in the office has had a great experience with it.

    ThoughtFarmer as an Intranet

    Reviewed a month ago
    Pros

    Setting up pages and creating content are very easy with ThoughtFarmer. The FormsFlow feature allows us to create surveys and forms that have a workflow built in with notifications so these requests / responses do not get missed.

    Cons

    I wish I could tell if a Page had an archive date set for it without needing to "Edit" the page first to see if this feature was used.

    Highly Recommend!!

    Reviewed 2 months ago

    My overall experience with ThoughtFarmer was great! It is evident they work as a team as each step of the process was a smooth handoff to the next person who would support us. They are a perfect mix of subject matter experts and non-techy end users! They were able to communicate as easily with our IT department as they were with a new content owner who had not experience creating an Intranet. They were also very responsive and easy to work with as we went through the process of selecting vendors and then completing our pricing and contract with them. I would recommend them to both the large company looking to implement an intranet and the smaller company looking to offer an engaging, cutting edge communication tool.

    Pros

    The product is easy to use and the team supporting implementation was so helpful, available and thorough.

    Cons

    I believe in an effort to let our company drive the product and implementation, there was a bit of a lack of direction in terms of training. We had sessions where we were shown features but it would have been helpful to perhaps have some assignments or more direction regarding applying what we just learned. After each training session I sort of walked away wondering "ok, what am I supposed to do now?"
