Each department has their own page or hub where they store useful templates and links for their own use. They also post updates and metrics that the rest of the company can use to see how that department is performing and what is new with them. The department pages are also used to share documents with the rest of the company like PPT templates or records of completed projects.
We also use Igloo as a social media platform. We post updates about new employees, upcoming events, and good news in people's personal lives as well as their work. In addition, we use Igloo for archiving of important records. We can have multiple people and departments contribute and we can access the documents remotely if needed.,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.,Search: It's like the early days of the internet with there search. Once I was told there was a form to use our gym somewhere on Igloo. I searched each key word I could think of and each time needed to wait several seconds for results to load. Large number of results would come up and none were relevant. It was a mess.
Upload: Something very funny happens every time I try to add documents using the desktop version. About half of the time instead of copying what I want it to, it copies a document I haven't opened in about a year. It's really an impressive and confusing bug.
Logging in: I need to login to the desktop version every time I want to access anything (web version doesn't have this issue).,8,Compliance: we have easy to access and version controlled records of important documents.
Central repository of resources: employees have a place to go for the latest templates and processes.
Employee satisfaction: place to share good news, ideas, or ask for help.,Simpplr, Jive and JostleSarah MeerschaertEasy to use intranet service2018-03-15T21:59:47.649ZWe've only just started using Igloo as a portal to support our international partners. We are located in New Zealand and our partners are located in the USA.

Highly customizable,I'd like more page layout options (not just the 3 columns).,9,Helps with employee retention - especially in a virtual environment.
Costs less than a separate wiki system for storing key information.,jiveAsher PrimroseIgloo is Unremarkable for Professional Use2017-08-10T16:25:40.816ZIgloo was being utilized across our organization by executives, corporate leadership, and property-level managers.,Igloo gives you great customization abilities and really fits the need for small communication bursts to important company-wide announcements — when their UI was not getting in the way.
Igloo offers a lot of "bells and whistles" if you need them. But it was hard for these small, nonessential elements to not get in the way of the overall purpose of its use.
Their sales team was spectacular. But their implementation team was hit or miss. Only one or two people I was able to connect with were both knowledgeable and quickly responsive.,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.,2,Negative impact due to the hit on time capital needed to get it up and running and then for it not to be functional to its purpose.
Created a long-lasting pause before attempting to launch with a more reputable and sustainable company.
The company attempted to strong-arm us into continued use despite the fact it wasn't working for us and didn't offer "make it right" support.,Asana and Facebook for Business,Facebook for Business, AsanaTyler Collum
