Intranet Connections vs. Podbean

I think this would depend on what they are looking for in an intranet service and how big their company is.

Podbean is the best podcast hosting service I have seen so far outside of hosting your own podcast server. It has many tools built in that make hosting and sharing your podcast simple. If you are technically minded, there is good software based on WordPress to create a cheap solution for hosting multiple podcasts, but you don't get as many features and you have to do all the work yourself. If you want a solution to quickly and easily get a podcast off the ground and out into the world without having to worry about lots of technical issues, then Podbean is a good way to go.

• Ability to customize the platform to really fit the needs of what you're looking for. How we use it is different than how another organization uses it.
• It's easy to get ahold of technical support and ask questions from a high level (i.e. about how to make it work better for the organization) or a granular level (i.e. how to improve something for a specific employee).

• Good user interface
• Good sound quality
• Nice design
• Desktop version easy to navigate

Incentivized

• improve on trigger options for workflows such as the ability to have two conditions for one trigger

• The UI looks a bit dated
• The plugin we use for WordPress was broken for years and we had to manually post, but they've fixed it recently.

[Intranet Connections has] more features, is more configurable, and offers more support.

For a personal podcast, I host on WordPress with a plugin called Seriously Simple Podcasting. This solution is a bare bones solution, good if you know how to manage a WordPress website and are able to submit your podcasts manually to different apps and services. If you can afford Podbean I would suggest using it because the WordPress route takes a lot more time and technical knowledge. Podbean takes so much of the hassle and work away from the process.

• The workflow when building forms doesn't allow for when someone is out of the office for it to flow to another manager. We would have to create a drop-down and have the employee select who it needs to go to for approval. Would be nice if the systems administrator could be able to change the approver and then resend the item for approval. At this time the employee would have to resubmit or the admin would have to email the current item for approval or we would have to impersonate this individual to approve.

• I can say that since we have used this tool we have not found any negative aspects or that it has generated us.
