Oh Slack is more expensive and Huddle gets exactly what we need done, not much to say other than they have proven themselves and we can go confidently with them knowing if there's an issue we'll get the support we need
Chose Ideagen Collaboration Portal
We liked how simple it was to use. And the feature set it offered was more in line with our needs than the alternatives we looked at.
Chose Ideagen Collaboration Portal
Sharepoint is very flexible, but very clunky and slow when all one needs is a quick document management solution.
M-Files is a great, rich document management system, but until recently focussed less on the collaboration piece.
Chose Ideagen Collaboration Portal
Huddle is quite different from Tibbr. They serve different purposes for the most part. However, they both allow colleagues to improve their communication with one another, minimize email inbox clutter, and improve processes. We use both of these in our organization. Huddle has …

If you are sharing private information like contracts for designs and designs that aren't meant to be shared only with one client, the platform is very secure

Pros
Ideagen
  • Huddle allows users to use the native document file types. For example, Word files are still in a Word, not a "Huddle" file version.
  • Huddle workspaces are invitation-only. If someone should not be in the workspace, they will not be invited and provided access to the documents. Or, they can be removed from the workspace if needed.
  • Communication about documents is located with the documents in a discussion thread under the document preview. Thus, email inbox clutter can be limited.

Cons
Ideagen
  • The desktop app is occasionally unreliable and it is never easy to get to the bottom of it with the tech support people...
  • Tasks are virtually useless as they have no context. We want tasks to be against documents so we can make our workflow more formal but they are not, so we don't use them. A reimplementation of to do and calendar facilities with files/documents as the context would make a huge difference to us.
  • The Huddle Office plugins are a great idea, but they cause us far too many Word and Excel crashes so we have to turn them off.

Usability
Ideagen
Huddle is very easy to use whether you are a new user or you have used it for years, it is an incredibly intuitive system that is so simple to teach to new users, the lock feature prevents important documents from being edited accidentally, while the edit features allow for true collaborative working

  • This has made it a lot easier for remote workers to access important documents without needing to use the VPN at home (which does not always work).
  • It clearly shows who updated the last document and when so it is clear who you need to ask if you have questions or something.
  • We have used it in client settings, so this saves money as we do not need to request a separate client laptop or VPN token.
