Ambassify vs. Workboard

Ambassify is a great way to inform colleagues about comms on social media. It’s very easy for people to share/engage with posts. The platform is convenient and requires low effort. It’s great to be able to use one platform for a variety of campaigns to keep colleagues engaged. This is a great tool.

Workboard is well suited in any organization IMO, it allows the individual business units to quickly set, define, organize and track their respective OKR's and align them with the larger business goals. The speed at which we're able to do this with Workboard has allowed us to spend more time on the goals themselves and less time on the management of the goal-setting exercise.

• Enabling the creation of a platform that can reward employees for going the extra mile and help to spread the word about the company
• How the platform has almost been "gamified"
• Just keeps employees up to date on all of the things going on in the company from a marketing perspective - such as new web pages/social posts, meaning they can engage with this content and help promote

Incentivized

• Project management at higher level - includes tasks assignment, visual representations of the project status and deadlines
• Increases the team members' sense of ownership - especially for people that are not used with or exposed to dedicated project management tools like Microsoft Project is.
• User collaboration - which in turn reduces the communication via email
• Increases the efficiency of the meetings - by quickly going through the action items and updating the task progress in the tool itself
• Support has been outstanding so far

• We have had issues trying to link Ambassify to WhatsApp
• I think that it would be nice to schedule posts and notifications
• There has been times where there is a slight delay on the notifications.

• There's a bit of a ramp time to using the service.

Microsoft Yammer is also a great tool, but it doesn't have many integration possibilities like Ambassify do. It also lacks that casual touch that is characteristic of Amabassify. Another important factor in this kind of tool is the user interface, it needs to be extremely friendly and intuitive to guarantee its continuous uses, and that's Ambassify's key.

Workboard vs Microsoft Project(and its Server) is like comparing a regular sport car with Formula 1 cars. One is lighter, nicer, with a broader audience, it gets you there fast while the other one is dedicated, not as nice, especially built for it, not for everyone and it will get you there much faster.

Incentivized

• The social sharing of our posts (and therefore and engagement metrics on those profiles) has generated more website traffic
• The first time I used this for a previous company (during a PR crisis) it really did help bring the team together

Incentivized

• Amount of time saved for managing goals had allowed us to spend more time on goal setting and tracking.
