We almost start very small in using it, because we ourself did not know what way we will have to go. But now as we reach a point where the market fit is in sight we focus on only a few number of things. We use it to define our product first without official access. We have to address the product clear, and ideanote is good to keep in the "zone". The main problem is to make pain easy, packed as solution in a product, and not talk about any features. This is the focus we have right now with this very clear application.
  • It is not overloaded. Clear to finish the things in mind.
  • It is flexible to the Team and the upcoming crowd
  • The design is very impressive and we love it
  • So we can link simple to it from our page
  • In my opinion it is an alternative to this normal roadmap
  • Every app needs its time to work with
  • I would recommend a dark mode also
  • And there should be a direct access to demo templates
  • So we can fill faster the board, or we did not get it right from our side
Well done in the flexible structure, the clear design and the VIP looking design makes for us a roadmap not so interesting. Also we would like to have live interaction and realtime feedback and not a closed system.
Sometimes it is a bit confusing with the User and Admin rules, but I think in the time we used it we did not much focus on this.
Maybe some more options to share generated topics could have more social connections, but not overdo
because it is right 98% as we like it.
  • This in Dollar is not to quantify yet
  • We are collecting the team ideas
  • [Predicting] Ideanote [has] a good impact
  • We can define better what is best for the first stage
  • Then the direct feedback will sure help us to improve
It is a reliable service and the support Team is very focused on our satisfaction, when there is a question.
A roadmap we can have also as a script and install it somewhere - but the feeling the Interface is sending
gives clearness, that we so much need, also we are just at the start on the process. But it helped and
users and team members are easy to get into the game on the platform and not in fear,
[be]cause it is simpl[y] made. This is also a very great point I have lost some people to onboard with another
solution, but with Ideanote all members are delighted by the design.

The idea sharing functionality gives us the ability to strengthen our cross-functional skills and it has been a wonderful experience using Ideanote's innovation challenge program. We leverage the functionality to be able to solve challenging questions and simplify and be more efficient at what we do. It also covers all aspects of the innovation lifecycle, allowing everything to be completed and tracked in one place.
  • Extremely easy for users to understand and use
  • Many pre-made templates
  • Great customer service
  • Cannot force rank chosen ideas or feature them
  • No progress indication or "decision" status for a mission
  • Takes a bit of time to bring everyone onboard
Ideanote is a great tool for capturing feedback, ideas, and questions from your clients, customers, or audience. The question prompts below the user submissions also help initiate and guide conversations. I also like that it has kanban style pipeline in which you can push ideas through stages and ultimately into action. The embedding features are really helpful as well. This allows you to initiate responses via your website or blog.
  • Streamlined our sales and marketing efforts by sharing ideas
  • Increased our employee involvement and engagement for new lined-up services for release
  • Helps in prioritizing ideas for making effective decisions
None. This is the only idea and innovation management software I use for our internal processes and we soon plan to use this for our future lined-up services.We have tried GERU in the past but that is a visual mapping software and does not really help in managing proper communication between guests and internal team members.

The intended use for Ideanote is to organize the idea collection process from a variety of sources, both across the whole organization and the general public, and allow the very process of idea collection to generate community engagement, self-awareness, and reveal key players in the creative ecosystem, both within and without our organization, among those interested in our mission. The business problems that it addresses obviously revolve around innovation management and having a platform that not only structures the creative process and collects it in one place, but provides transparency to management and the team through the analytics it generates but also incentives for participation via the potential for recognition through intelligent features like the "Hall of Fame" of idea contributors.
  • Excellent UI - clean and uncluttered. It paves your way rather than gets in your way.
  • Solid UX - each feature seem to guide but not push towards the desired outcome.
  • Versatility - the tool can be used for an endless variety of purposes.
  • Analytics - Ideanote not only helps you gather and rate ideas but it provides insight about who contribute the most in your company's creative process.
  • Ready made templates for common use cases help structure & direct the goals of your workspace quickly.
  • More videos in terms of tutorials and use cases.
  • Success stories of how companies used Ideanote to supercharge their innovation.
  • The new Zapier integration is a good step but I would like to see more native integrations with popular SaaS products.
  • Expensive - if not for finding it in an AppSumo deal it would have been hard to afford.
Ideanote is well-suited for managing innovation across your organization and collecting ideas in one place while revealing who are the key players in the creative process. When you want more than just a digital version of a suggestion box, with the necessary functionality so that ideas are not just pieces of text but go through a maturation process in which they acquire feedback, ratings, made actionable and their completion tracked.

I'd say the scenarios where it would be less appropriate is if you want a simple and inexpensive tool to gather ideas. Ideanote forces you to add more structure than you may really need, so if you're looking for something really simple and affordable, Ideanote might be overkill.
  • I expect increased community engagement in product development
  • Higher morale among creative contributors since their contributions are now visible to everyone
  • Decreased risk in potential adoption of new features via the ability to assess enthusiasm around specific product development ideas before rollout
