    Fugu is a brilliant tool if the employee count is less when it comes to passing on messages within the organization, but it also has some cons with respect to its functioning. The calling feature used to rarely work, making it impossible to make a call when required. Also, the ios version was more prone to crashes.

    Igloo Software
    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.

    Pros
    Open Source
    • Communicating within teams.
    • Applying for leaves, and attendance was very easy.
    • Shortcuts to access everything.

    Igloo Software
    • 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
    Open Source
    • At times it used to crash making it impossible to use.
    • The UI part could have been much better.
    • The calling feature was not reliable.

    Igloo Software
    • 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.

    Fugu is good when it comes to interacting within a small organization; otherwise, not proper working of audio/video calls and notifications not coming on time may cause you to miss out on important information. It has got all the basic employee information available, thus making it very handy and very easy to use.

    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.

    Return on Investment
    Open Source
    • As it crashed down more often, productivity was affected at times.
    • Keeping a tab on one's leave, and attendance was very easy, making an employee know his balances and scheduling his work accordingly.
    • Notification, too, at times, used to not work, thus hampering productivity.

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