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.

As one
of the great intranet software, Jostle has always helped me in staying
connected with the team members from different departments. The app makes me
feel so much at ease because I know what is happening in all the departments
and if everything is going in the right direction or not. My recommendation is
that this software is very appropriate for growing businesses where people are
not aware of their surroundings and their colleagues' work status. Jostle will
send them notifications on emails whenever they need to be updated regarding
any specific thing that is why I highly recommend this application.

Pros
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
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.

Jostle is the tool that is fulfilling our all requirements, I really appreciate the way this is going and giving services. It has smart features. Moreover, Instant messaging is also
available on Jostle. Jostle has made my life very easy as it has given me the
ability to curate all decisions be it minor or be it major to discuss online on
the dedicated platforms. The user interface is very simple and resembles Social
Media a lot so as nowadays more people are becoming used to Social Media so
this can also be a great factor in contributing to Jostle’s success.
