    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.

    OptiSigns
    OptiSigns has made it incredibly simple and practical to manage digital signs. The mobile app functions nicely, and video playback is far superior to the other signage software competitors. Extremely fast to set up. The system's simplicity of use and cloud compatibility is what I like best. It is incredibly simple and intuitive to upload files and switch screens. The TV stick is plug-and-play and requires little to no technical expertise. And less appropriate for me is I believe the scheduling should be improved to allow for more spontaneous additions to the schedule. It would also be helpful if there was a feature that allowed the screen to turn on and off according to a timetable. The sync play feature may be improved. I find it annoying that YouTube playlists must be timed to exactly match their duration to appear correctly. The mobile app should get an emergency message feature.

    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.
