Likelihood to Recommend	Igloo is really great for giving your organization access to the latest version of documents and templates. It's also great for organizing and versioning shared resources. It can also be customized for your organization in terms of sections, page layout, color scheme, branding, etc. It's not so great for search or for offline use. Overall I'd highly recommend it. Incentivized Sarah Meerschaert Project Manager Read full review	Intranet Connections is well-suited for organizations looking for one platform to fulfill a variety of needs, from sharing communication and documentation to create "sections" for various department units. If you're looking specifically to create a searchable knowledgebase, Intranet Connections can do that, but other platforms are potentially more appropriate if that is the only need you're trying to fill.

Pros	Igloo gives you great customization abilities and really fits the need for small communication bursts to important company-wide announcements — when their UI was not getting in the way. Igloo offers a lot of "bells and whistles" if you need them. But it was hard for these small, nonessential elements to not get in the way of the overall purpose of its use. Their sales team was spectacular. But their implementation team was hit or miss. Only one or two people I was able to connect with were both knowledgeable and quickly responsive. Incentivized Tyler Collum Director of Special Projects Read full review	Timely Support Excellent Customer Service Terri Greene Computer Programmer Analyst Read full review
Cons	Pricing can lead to high costs. Users without CSS knowledge may have a hard time to customize themes. Maybe more graphical options to change layouts would be nice. NO SSO and LDAP authentication methods available in the basic version. Languages support in the basic version. Incentivized Vinicius Lima Computer Technician Read full review	There isn't availablity to help with charity drives. We aren't able to track or even graph information as it becomes available. We also have repo vehicles and are not able to have employees bid on these items anonymously. Even though we have the Buy/Sell asset it doesn't allow for any items to be sold this way. It would also be nice if we were able to interface with our current internet site. For example, it would be nice to post our Community Outreach Calendar for all of our regions to our webpage, so we don't have to double create work.
