    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.

    If you use Microsoft collaboration tools then Lifesize Share is a great fit for you as it integrates well with their collaboration ecosystem. We found it easy to set up and very easy to administrate. It definitely makes everyone at the conference room table be seen and heard by others during the session.

    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.

    We found that employees could use Lifesize Share without any prior training as long as we created "cheat sheets" to leave in each conference room where the equipment is installed.

    Both the initial installation and any ongoing support went very well. The support personnel was very knowledgeable, thorough, and professional. We were very pleased with how quickly any questions were answered and that very few incidents reoccurred.

    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.

    It is nice to implement, easier than other solutions and in my opinion, other solutions could be harder to implement. I was doing some demos for other software with other companies and I realized that the way of work is more difficult to implement and probably to maintain, at least in my opinion.
