Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We've just recently started to use Ideanote to coordinate and marketing team. The user interface is incredible, easy to use and onboarding other team members has been seamless. We plan to roll-out to strategy and product development teams as well.
Pros
  • Easy onboarding of new users.
  • Simple to use.
  • Cloud based.
Cons
  • Pricing could be high if you have lots of users.
  • Awareness in the marketplace is low, we came across by accident.
  • More case studies or use cases could help users onboard quicker.
Likelihood to Recommend
Suitable for organisations of all sizes that need to generate and manage ideas/innovations.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros
  • Extremely easy for users to understand and use
  • Many pre-made templates
  • Great customer service
Cons
  • 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
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Ideanote is great to stay focused for the things that matter and it moves us forward

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros
  • 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
Cons
  • 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
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Ideanote is used by all departments across the organization. It sure makes it easy and productive for our team to collect, share, develop, and act on ideas that streamline processes with evident progress. Its structured design and instant ideation features are what make Ideanote stand out from the competition. We've ultimately gone from hatching and collecting new ideas to acting upon such ideas, thereby helping our team and our clients, drive all missions forward.
Pros
  • It makes collection of opinions super easy especially from within or outside the organization.
  • Makes for an intuitive collaboration tool.
  • Easy to track ideas and its progress.
  • The insight features ensure a true picture of the health metrics of the ideas collected and lets you implement those ideas or opinions either based on engagement and/or votes.
Cons
  • To be candid, for our use case, it works just perfect. However...
  • It could use an improvement in its white-labeling feature by allowing for a total customization of the landing page.
Likelihood to Recommend
There's no limit to what you can achieve with Ideanote. Some of our use cases are as follows:

  1. It's best for general idea brainstorming.
  2. In-company announcements.
  3. Semi-Surveys.
  4. Constructive feedback system.
  5. MVP test.
  6. Build a culture of engagement and involvement.
  7. Open innovation.
  8. Focused and continuous improvements.
  9. Real-life impact and improvements.
and much more.

A well thought solution for idea collection, engagement, and measurement

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We currently use Ideanote across the whole company to collect, prioritize, and measure ideas. There are two primary ways Ideanote can be used: to collect opinions internally across team members or to collect suggestions publicly from clients or suppliers. Our most frequent use case is internal.

The problem Ideanote solves for us is that our previous brainstorming exercises often yielded few results because

  • Ideas are not tracked and frequently scattered throughout various places, both online (e.g., Google Docs, Slack, Notion) and offline (e.g., Post-it notes)
  • Ideas are not recorded promptly and adequately, so we can't take immediate actions on them.
  • Since contributing ideas doesn't result in action, many of our team members feel discouraged to contribute improvement ideas and refrain from getting creative or thinking outside the box about business challenges.

Ideanote solves this problem by having a centralized, well-designed workspace to collect ideas and engage our team members, enabling us to take actions on their contributions and measure their impact.

Pros
  • Excellent design, well thought-out UI/UX
  • Fully white-labelled experience (e.g. custom CNAME)
  • Great integration with other apps (e.g. with Zapier)
  • Advanced analytics
Cons
  • Lack of the ability to "make featured" or "force rank" the chosen ideas
  • No progress indication for each idea collection ("mission")
  • Lack of granular notification options
Likelihood to Recommend
While the specific usage varies by each company and team size, in our opinion, Ideanote is well suited for idea collection and tracking for remote teams (which was the case for us) that can't do brainstorming all in person in the same room.

Example of our internal use of Ideanote:
  • Strategic planning and strategic brainstorming
  • Collecting ideas on how to improve existing processes (e.g., employee onboarding)
  • Founder town hall: cross-organization ask-me-anything FAQs
