    Igloo is a well-suited option for teams/companies that want to build an employee intranet with some other interesting features, like file storage and sharing, internal communications, and resource and knowledge management. All of these features may help your workers increase productivity significantly by centralizing everything in one robust and reliable platform. However, it can be less appropriate if costs are a problem for you, due to the pricing. So, if you will not be using several features and just want an intranet for you company, you may want to go with another solution.

    DotSignage is well suited for single or multi location restaurants. Their temple editor is very helpful to design the menus very quickly. We have used their pre designed templates. Recently they have introduced animation which are very eye catchy to highlight deals or promotions. We have 5-6 TVs each store and we display menu boards on 4 TVs and rest two TVs are for promotions playing videos and slideshow.

    Pros
    Appspace
    • Notifications: Igloo can push email updates to users.
    • Organization: Igloo allows for you to create pages, sub pages, and many layer deep sections. You can also organize the layout of your pages.
    • Versioning: it's super easy to reserve and edit documents for offline use. And you can see who last edited a document and when.
    • Offline access: there's a desktop version you can use very easily. It's really good for dropping a bunch of files at once.

    Cons
    Appspace
    • Their UI is not used-friendly. Their use of Igloo-specific terminology made it difficult to understand how each function of the site worked. They would repeatedly say, for example, "a ___ is really a ___" vs. just calling it what the function actually is.
    • Implementation was a far cry from their sales support. After basically nickel-and-diming you for everything, they - very poorly - cap your use of their implementation support team.
    • Overall, Igloo didn't work for our organization because they do multiple things decently vs a few things excellently. The experience with Igloo was unremarkable.

    Easy to use, cost-effective, and benefit in organizational culture development and information sharing across various employees and from higher management. Great customer support and continuous development to make the software better for users. It allows better collaboration with a little bit of fun too and requires less resources to handle.

    Support and prompt response was one of the reasons we went with DotSignage. We had fire sticks and TVs already available so we did not need to buy any other hardware. Template editor was again one of the key features we liked. We wanted something very easy to manage and keeps everything consistent.

    • Helps with employee retention - especially in a virtual environment.
    • Costs less than a separate wiki system for storing key information.
