Review 5 I recently used IdeaScales innovation management software and Im disappointed. The product vision is outdated, and the features dont live up to my expectations. It lacks the sophistication and scalability to manage complex ideas and projects. Additionally, the UI and UX need to be improved to make it easier to collaborate with other team members. The cost of ownership is also way too high for whats offered. For example, the storage package I purchased has very limited capacity and doesnt even allow me to store all my ideas. As a result, I would rate the product vision at 2/10, and the cost of ownership at 3/10.

3. We decided to purchase innovation management solutions from IDEASCALE to manage our innovation initiatives. First and foremost, I appreciate their product vision that integrates the best design practices and offers great opportunities in the market. Their pre-defined frameworks are quite user-friendly and offer new ideas from many professionals. With the use of their analytics, I can quickly track progress and select the best ideas for our organization.
Interoperability and integration of the solution with our existing architecture didnt give us any major problems. We are also relieved to see that their stability and maturity has been tested and proven. Their solution also supports futuristic use cases and uses the latest technology for better efficiency.
The cost of ownership was also within our budget. IDEASCALE offered us great value for our money. As our usage scaled up, the cost of their solution decreased over time. They also provide excellent customer services which have been very helpful whenever I have run into any issues. Overall, Im quite satisfied with our decision to work with them and I would rate them 4 out of

Ideascales Innovation Management Software Review 3- Overall Innovation and use of next Generation Technology (4/5 Stars) I have been using Ideascale Software for many years now, and I must say, it is one of the most innovative software offerings I have used. Ideascale has a streamlined user interface and encompasses a ton of useful features to get the job done, such as brainstorming, collaboration and project management to name a few. Couple these features with its smooth user experience, and you have yourself a great software package. The other powerful aspect of Ideascale is its use of cutting-edge technology, which helps ensure that users get the most out of the software. They also have a strong knowledge base so you can find solutions to any queries quickly. Overall, Ideascale is a great software and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a next-generation solution for managing projects.

3. IdeaScales Innovation Management Software is an excellent choice for any business looking for a comprehensive platform to promote collaboration and innovation across teams. It offers many features such as idea surveys and rounds, forums, and virtual workshops that have allowed my team to collaborate effectively while being remote. It also offers great customer service and representatives are always happy to help with any questions we have. Im impressed with the range of use cases it offers as well. The platform can be easily customized, making it a great choice for businesses with specific needs and goals. However, the onboarding process was a bit slow and took longer than anticipated. It would be great if they could address this issue. Overall, Im happy with the IdeaScale platform and would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable innovation management solution. Rating: 4/5

It offers high degree of interoperability and integration capabilities. The software allows easy integration of existing enterprise applications. We recently ran an experiment which included integration with an existing system. The ease of integration offered by ideasScale gave us almost instantaneous results. In addition, the external content sharing capability with other solutions makes it one of the most versatile solutions available. The APIs offered increase the degree of integration with other applications such as office Visual Studio and Salesforce. Overall, I would rate its interoperability and integration features with a full 5 stars.

Review 3 I recently evaluated IdeaScales innovation management software. Unfortunately, Im not satisfied with the product vision. It felt like the creators of this software werent sure what to do with it. The features provided are largely outdated and lack the necessary sophistication for managing complex projects and ideas. The platform doesnt offer advanced analytics, so its difficult to understand how effective the software is, or how it can help an organization. This isnt to mention the cost of ownership, which is incredibly high and not worth the limited features it offers. Overall, Id rate the product vision at 2/10 and cost of ownership at 3/10.

4 I recently purchased IdeaScales Innovation Management Software and it has proven to be a horrible choice. The Interoperability and integration of this software is virtually non-existent and I have spent countless hours trying to get it to work with my existing system, to no avail. Additionally, the Supporting futuristic use cases are extremely lacking and I have found that the software is not capable of handling the ever-advancing technology and trends. As a middle-aged Asian buyer, these shortcomings have been highly detrimental to my business and I am planning to switch to a different innovational management software in the near future. I rate the Interoperability and integration 2/5 and the Supporting futuristic use cases 1/5.

Integration The IDEASCALE Innovation Management Software was very easy to integrate into our existing system. It came with a step-by-step guide to support us with the integration process and their team was available to assist us in any way which was really helpful. The frequency of updates provided were very timely and the security measures around data collection were in line with our organizations policies. A 5/5 in my opinion for the integration and security.

2. IdeaScales Innovation Management Software is a convenient and useful tool that offers a great set of features and functions designed to meet the needs of many different businesses. Its platform is comprehensive, allowing for the full participation of all team members during the brainstorming process. Also, IdeaScales customer service is top-notch. Whenever I had any questions, their support team was always ready to answer in a timely fashion. The use-cases their platform offers is also great and highly adaptable. The team also rolled out new updates often, ensuring customers get the most up-to-date version of the system. Despite these great assets, the onboarding process was rather slow and I was left waiting for too long. Additionally, it didnt offer enough customization options in some areas. All in all, I believe IdeaScale is a great platform for most businesses, but it needs to improve its onboarding speed. Rating: 3.5/5

1 I recently purchased Innovation Management Software from IdeaScale and am extremely disappointed with the Interoperability and integration of the platform. This platform was highly praised for its ability to integrate well with other platforms, however I regret to report that this feature is simply not up to the standard expected. I spent a considerable amount of time trying to get the platform to integrate with the system I had in place, but no matter how hard I tried, it simply did not work. I am also disappointed with the Supporting futuristic use cases that were promised. The platform clearly cannot handle new features or changes that are quickly evolving in technology and trends, which makes it a less than ideal choice for future-proofing my business. I rate the Interoperability and integration very low (1/5) and the Supporting futuristic use cases (2/5).

Review 2: Customer Service I recently purchased Ideascales Innovation Management Software and I must say that the customer service offered by the company is extremely lacking. While the representatives are friendly and timely, they lack the technical expertise to answer detailed queries and are unable to resolve common problems and issues quickly. Moreover, the company lacks a comprehensive product documentation and Knowledge Base, making it difficult to find answers to the queries. Consequently, I rate the companys customer service as 1 out of 5.

1. Cost of ownership 5/5 IDEASCALEs innovation management software is worth the money. The software has a subscription plan that can be tailored to the customers needs. Not only does it provide a software-as-a-service model, but customers also have the option to purchase perpetual licenses for their innovation initiatives. Moreover, their onboarding and customer success team are expertly trained and ensure that customers are getting the most out of the platform by delivering turnkey solutions. The customer service is top-notch and the prices are highly competitive.

Review 4 IdeaScales innovation management software is not convincing. The product vision is limited, and there are a lot of things that could be improved. The customization options are also poor and its not possible to make the software fit our needs. Furthermore, it lacks analytics, which could help me track my ideas and projects. Additionally, the cost of ownership is really high, and I cannot justify the cost versus benefit ratio. For example, the storage package I purchased is not enough and the costs increase exponentially with each user. I rate the product vision at 3/10 and the cost of ownership at 4/10.

4. IdeaScales Innovation Management Software is a great all-in-one platform that allows for collaboration and innovation across teams. It has many features to help ensure ongoing communication throughout the process. Its customer service also deserves a special mention; their team is always prompt to answer questions and provide solutions for any issues we encountered. The range of use cases available is a great plus as well, meaning my team can take advantage of the platforms unique capabilities. On the downside, the platform was a bit slow in its implementation process and would benefit from shorter times. Additionally, Im not particularly impressed with the range of customization options available. Overall, IdeaScale provides users with a great platform, with room to grow in the future. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a comprehensive innovation management solution. Rating: 3/5

Value for Money I had used IDEASCALEs Innovation Management Software before and thought it had a great user interface with features like tracking ideas, collaboration, and access control that allowed me to manage our organizations ideas in a structured way. However, being a senior management professional I was disappointed with the pricing offered to use their innovation management software, they only offer an annual subscription and there were additional costs to add features as well. For a software of this size and with all that features, one expects better value for money. I give them 2/5 stars.

Review 1: Interoperability and Integration Ideascales Innovation Management Software is a comprehensive suite of tools designed to help businesses simulate ideas, collaborate and create new products. However, the actual ability of the software to integrate with existing systems and become part of an ecosystem is rather limited. It does not offer support for all the popular enterprise systems such as SAP, Java and .NET. Moreover, it does not integrate with existing company data. Overall, the softwares interoperability and integration capabilities are severely lacking and rated 2 out of 5.

1. After detailed evaluation of different Innovation Management solutions, I decided to work with IDEASCALE to manage innovation across our organization. First and foremost, I like their product vision, which identifies trends and opportunities in the market, engaging our employees collaboratively and sharing ideas. On the product features front, I find the pre-defined frameworks with ideas from thousands of professionals across the globe very useful. Their solution also provides extensive analytics that helps me to identify the best ideas for my organization and insights for product development and innovation initiatives. The system is quite easy to use and their customer support is great if I ever run into any issues.
Interoperability and integration with our existing ecosystem was also evaluated before making the final decision. We found IDEASCALE quite easy to use with our existing architecture, making us quickly gain the value the solution offers. The companys stability and maturity also offered us peace of mind as we wanted a trusted partner with a proven track record. They have also proven to scale to our expected volume, supporting futuristic use cases with the use of next-generation technology.
Cost of ownership was, of course, a key consideration. Here too, we found that IDEASCALE offered us good value for money. They provide a good package at a very competitive cost, leveraging the latest technology and our cost decreased over time as we scaled up. All in all, their innovation management offering has been excellent for us and Im pleased that we chose to work with them. Id give them a rating of 4 out of

5. After testing different solutions for managing innovation, we decided to partner with IDEASCALE to support our organization. The foremost thing that impressed us was their product vision which is quite concise and offers a detailed understanding of market trends. We find their pre-defined idea frameworks quite useful and their analytics helpful in tracking progress.
Interoperability and integration with our architecture were quite smooth. We also find their stability and maturity very reassuring. This solution is supported by futuristic use cases and leverages the latest technology.
The cost of ownership was also taken into account before deciding. We found IDEASCALE very cost-effective and with increasing use their cost decreased over time. The customer service is also quite helpful and they go out of their way to solve any issue I run into. All in all, Im quite pleased with our decision and Id rate them 4 out of 5.

2 I purchased IdeaScale Innovation Management Software a few weeks ago and the Interoperability and integration of this platform has been far worse than expected. I was promised that the software would smoothly integrate into my existing systems and that it would be future-proof when it came to newer technologies, but both of these promises have proven to be false. I have spent countless hours trying to troubleshoot the integrations between different systems with no success. Furthermore, the Supporting futuristic use cases leave much to be desired. This platform is barely adequate for use cases that are currently in place and is inadequate for any more complex issues that may arise from future technological innovations. I am highly dissatisfied with the lack of Supporting futuristic use cases and rate the Interoperability and integration a low 2/5.

Review 1 I recently came across the IdeaScale innovation management software and thought I should give it a try. I must say that Im not impressed with the product vision. The software offers very basic features that dont help me to innovate efficiently. It also lacks the capability to handle complex ideas and projects. There are some interesting ideas, but theyre not specialized to meet my needs. I wish it was more robust. The product would be much better if it had better data segmentation capabilities and supported a wider range of integrations. The cost of ownership is quite high, and it doesnt match the value I get in return. For example, the storage capacity is quite low, and its not upgradable at reasonable prices. Overall, Id rate the product vision and features at 3/10, and the cost of ownership at 4/10.

IdeaScales Innovation Management Software is easy enough to use, but it fails to live up to the promise of managing future-oriented use cases. Its capabilities are somewhat limited, and when it comes to leveraging new and emerging technologies, the software falls short.

I recently helped my client to choose a best innovation management software and we decided to go with ideasScale. While cost of ownership was one of the major deciding factors, reviews by experts gave us a clear picture that ideasScale provides the most cost effective solution available. The core product, including ideation, idea voting, clustering, discussion modules, trend analysis etc comes for very affordable price and is also customizable to an extent. The cost of additional modules is also nominal. Overall, it provides a great value for money and I give it full 5-star rating for the cost of ownership.

IDE ASCALE Innovation Management Software Review This is a review of IDEASCALEs Innovation Management Software offerings by an older woman. Value for money: I gave this software 3 out of 5 stars for value for money. IDEASCALE is on the expensive side compared to their competitors, which could be a turn off for some potential customers. However, the features they offer are very comprehensive, but it is worth mentioning that due to the complexity of the software it can take a while to learn how to use it properly. Interoperability and integration: I gave this software 1 out of 5 stars for interoperability and integration. This software is incredibly difficult to integrate with other systems. Its not very easy to set up and I only managed to connect the software with my Google Drive. Attempts to integrate with other applications and systems were completely unsuccessful.

IDE ASCALE Innovation Management Software Review This is a review of IDEASCALEs Innovation Management Software offerings by an older woman. Value for money: I gave this software 3 out of 5 stars for value for money. The features offered at this price point is typical, however the cost can be prohibitive for smaller teams. With IDEASCALE you get mentioned features such as being able to manage multiple projects, and collaborate on ideas, however the learning curve is quite steep with no good tutorial to help you get started. Interoperability and integration: I gave this software 2 out of 5 stars for interoperability and integration. I found that there where were a lot of issues trying to connect this software to other systems. It took me quite a bit of time to get the integration to work with an standard CRM system. I also encountered some issues with Outlook, but eventually managed to connect it to my Google Drive with no issues.

1. IdeaScales Innovation Management Software is a powerful platform that provides a holistic view of an enterprises product, technology and service innovation goals. It consistently offers an impressive suite of features that make it easy for everyone to contribute ideas. It provides for a truly collaborative environment with ongoing communication between the idea-makers and the other stakeholders. The platform is frequently updated, ensuring customers take advantage of its newest features. The customer service is definitely a great plus. When I had questions, their team was able to promptly respond and resolve any issues along the way. Moreover, their representatives were always available to answer follow up calls. However, I was disappointed with the speed of implementation. It took longer than expected to make all the necessary arrangements, so it would be great to see this improved. In terms of use-cases, I could definitely see IdeaScale helping forward-thinking businesses. Its intuitive interface and great customization options will ensure people make full use of their potential and explore the technologys unique capabilities. All in all, I would definitely recommend IdeaScale as a great choice when it comes to Innovation Management Software. Rating: 4/5

Ideascales Innovation Management Software Review 4- Interoperability and Integration of their existing systems (3/5 Stars) While using Ideascale, I found that its interoperability and integration with existing systems and applications somewhat lacking. The platform struggled to keep up with our ever-changing needs and could not easily adapt to the demands of our business. Our IT team struggled with internal synchronization, which caused a lot of friction between departments. The issue was only resolved when they began to invest more time and energy into creating robust APIs and development tools. While the addition of these tools was helpful, I still think they are lagging behind in terms of inter-system integration.

I expected something that would allow me to leverage newly developed technologies like machine learning, but IdeaScales software couldnt even help me model simple use cases based on basic data points. I think this limitation severely limits the value of the software, so much so that its almost not even worth the cost. In my opinion, the value for money is not great either. Rating: 2/5. Review 2

I had a really hard time trying to integrate with other systems and applications, even with the help of their support team. I couldnt get the integration to work with MS Outlook for example, and I had to eventually give up. It worked fine with my Google Drive though.

2. After evaluating multiple solutions for managing innovation across our organization, I decided to partner with IDEASCALE to streamline our processes. The product vision of the company really drew me in. It helps me to back our innovation initiatives with details regarding market trends and engagement with our people. With this, they also provide us analytics that can measure the progress of our ideas.
Their product features, on the other hand, enable us to leverage the wisdom and insights of thousands of professionals across the globe. Their concentration on the user-centric approach has made the solution quite easy to use. Their solutions are quite compatible with our existing architecture and we have not had major issues with interoperability and integration.
The cost of ownership is also quite reasonable. They offer good value for money and their cost fell over time as we scaled up our usage. I have found their customer service to be excellent and they are always willing to help me with any issue. Overall, Im quite pleased with our decision to go with them and I would rate them a 4 out of

Ideascales Innovation Management Software Review 2- Interoperability and Integration of their existing systems (4/5 Stars) I was especially interested in how well Ideascales Innovation Management Software has integrated into our existing systems. Its been really smooth to use and extremely reliable. In addition to that, the software also offers interoperability with other platforms like Salesforce, which allows us to sync with other systems and access data quickly. Additionally, were able to sync our teams easily both internally and externally. Ideascale has kept up with the modern industry standards, offering solid API support along with robust development tools. This means that we can easily integrate the software into our existing applications and create seamless interactions and transactions. Moreover, their API support is helpful in resolving issues quickly when they crop up. Overall, the interoperability and integration between our existing systems and Ideascales Innovation Management Software have been second to none. Im pleased with the results of this integration, as it has allowed us to get the most out of this powerful software.

5 I recently bought IdeaScales Innovation Management Software and my experience has been far from satisfactory. The Interoperability and integration promised by this platform failed to live up to the expectations and I could not get the software to work with my current system. Furthermore, the Supporting futuristic use cases turned out to be almost non-existent. As an Asian middle-aged buyer, I expected that the software would be able to cope with rapidly changing technologies and trends, but that was not the case. Therefore, I deem this product a huge disappointment and rate the Interoperability and integration 1/5 and the Supporting futuristic use cases 2/5.

3 I recently purchased IdeaScale Innovation Management Software and I must say that I am seriously disappointed with its ability to Interoperate and integrate with my existing systems. The platform just refuses to cooperate and no matter how hard I tried, I was unable to get the desired outcome. Furthermore, I am also disappointed with the Supporting futuristic use cases, which are almost non-existent. This platform is not a good choice if you are planning to use it in the long run as it simply cannot handle the rapid advancement in technologies and trends and the lack of features and support given makes it an unfeasible choice. I rate the Interoperability and integration as 1/5 and the Supporting futuristic use cases as a 2/5.

IDE ASCALE Innovation Management Software Review This is a review of IDEASCALEs Innovation Management Software offerings by an older woman. Value for money: I gave this software 4 out of 5 stars for value for money. IDEASCALE is definitely not an inexpensive option in comparison to the other options in the market, but it does offer a lot of features as part of your subscription. It allows you to track multiple projects and allows you to collaborate easily. That being said, it can be complicated to use, especially if you dont have prior experience with software like this. Interoperability and integration: I gave this software 3 out of 5 stars for interoperability and integration. The software is generally pretty easy to integrate with other systems and applications, however there have been a few instances where I encountered some difficulty. I couldnt get the integration to work with CRM systems, for example. That being said, I was able to connect the software to my Google Drive with no issues.

I recently had the opportunity to use IdeaScales Innovation Management Software, and I found it to be lacking in several areas. While its fairly easy to use and navigate, it doesnt offer much in terms of managing futuristic use cases. Even worse, it doesnt properly leverage new and emerging technologies, which significantly lowers its value. The cost is also quite high, so I wouldnt recommend this software to anyone looking for a solution that offers good value for money. Rating: 1/5. Review 5

IDE ASCALE Innovation Management Software Review This is a review of IDEASCALEs Innovation Management Software offerings by an older woman. Value for money: I gave this software 3 out of 5 stars for value for money. While it has a lot of features for a piece of software with this price tag, some users may find it too costly to justify. IDEASCALE is a comprehensive tool that can help you with various aspects of innovation management, but it can be daunting to learn how to use it. Interoperability and integration: I gave this software 1 out of 5 stars for interoperability and integration. I found that the software is not very friendly when it comes to connections to other systems and applications. The process of setting up integrations can be quite challenging, and I was only able to connect with my Google Drive. Integration with other CRM systems and MS Outlook was impossible for me.

Review 2 I recently tried IdeaScales innovation management software to supplement my teams workflow. I must say that Im quite disappointed in the product features. Its missing a lot of features available in competing services. The UI and UX are quite outdated, and the navigation is clumsy, which makes it difficult to work collaboratively. The idea templates offered by the software are limited, and it doesnt offer any additional support for idea generation. Additionally, the cost of ownership is too high for the limited features offered. The storage package I purchased doesnt even offer enough capacity to store all my ideas, and the cost keeps increasing with each additional user. I rate the product features at a 2/10 and the cost of ownership at a 5/10.

4. As we wanted to manage innovation across our organization, we chose to invest in supplying solutions from IDEASCALE. We appreciate the companys product vision that provides us with better understanding of the trends in the market and engaging employees collaboratively. In addition, their pre-defined idea frameworks are quite useful in coming up with new ideas. The use of analytics helps us in improving our innovation.
The system is very user-friendly and the customer service is helpful if we ever run into any issues. Their solutions were quite compatible with our existing architecture, offering us no major problems with interoperability and integration. We are also relieved to see that their stability and maturity is up to the mark.
Cost of ownership was also one of our considerations. Here too, IDEASCALE offered us good value for money. They offer competitive packages and with our scaling up our use, registration of cost decreased over time. All in all, their Innovation Management system is quite effective for our organization and Id give them a rating of 4 out of

Customer Support When it comes to customer support, IDEASCALE really impressed me. I was very surprised by how responsive and helpful their customer service team was in resolving our queries and attending to issues. I was able to communicate with their team via email, live chat, and over the phone. They even provided us with help in the form of tutorials which were very valuable. Our team was highly satisfied with the level of customer service provided and I rate them 5/5 stars.
