    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.

    The great thing about livepro is you can structure your content the way that suits your organisation. livepro are there to support you in deciding what may work best for your team, it is not a one size fits all solution. The system allows you to write complex processes in a simplified view so staff can easily navigate to the solution they need. The 'rocket' knowledge object allows your processes that have a lot of variation to be written up in a simple decision tree setup, taking your staff to the right outcome every time.

    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.

    • Easy to use--livepro is used by our casuals (who have never used the system before) and also our more knowledgeable and experienced staff, all in the same capacity.
    • Positive and engaging training--before implementing livepro, we had on-the-ground training with the livepro team and they have provided us with ongoing support ever since.
    • Anything is possible--livepro encourages users to experiment and to create a system that is unique to their organization/department and to always think outside the box.

    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.

    • Feedback module. I'm scratching for things to record in cons here. The feedback module could be improved by having further display options - being able to preview feedback without clicking into it. However, livepro have taken this feedback on board and are already looking at ways to improve.
    • Admin/roles. The current way to set up the roles/permissions is clunky however this is not a space you need to use often. I'm looking forward to the new and improved version that is being worked on.

    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.

    SharePoint did not have the functionality that livepro does. We attempted to create a knowledge hub in SharePoint but were left disappointed.

    • livepro has improved our right first time response for our customer contact center. In the first six months of going live, our RFT response increased to the 60th percentile from 50 percent.
    • One source of truth--our customer service team is confident in the answers they are providing and that they can rely on the accuracy and quality of information.
    • Providing a superior level of customer service--as the team becomes more efficient in using the system, they are processing more calls and creating more meaningful outcomes for our customers. The teams percentage of missed (abandoned) calls has dropped from 4.26 percent to 3 percent since implementation of livepro.
