## Reviews

### "Superior Product and Service" — 5.0/5

> **Michelle** | *23 February 2023* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The most impactful feature is Sideways6's seamless integration with Microsoft Teams. It was vital for me to find a product that was easy to use and that would meet colleagues where they are already collaborating.
> 
> **Cons**: I am very pleased with how Sideways6 considers feedback and the transparency of its roadmaps for future enhancements and functionality. My only challenge is working with digital banners when creating the campaigns. Sometimes you need to play with the dimensions, but this is a minor inconvenience easily resolved.
> 
> Our tool is branded Ignite and it enables every colleague to impact T\&amp;F  by suggesting ideas that we test, trial, and ultimately use to advance and grow our business. One of the most critical drivers of innovation within our organization is our people, and there is no shortage of new, creative, and unique ideas throughout Advanced Learning. Sideways6 has provided the channel for this business-critical initiative.

### "Unique employees with a growing platform\!" — 4.0/5

> **Sam** | *1 March 2025* | Consumer Electronics | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The employees of Sideways 6 are unique always willing to help and listen to the customers needs.
> 
> **Cons**: The product development team are fantastic, I wonder though if the teams needs to be larger to evolve the platform quicker.
> 
> Very positive. Great Senior customer success manager, development team, the quarterly events are great, just want to see the platform enhancements happen quicker.

### "Good Idea Management platform" — 4.0/5

> **Oscar** | *18 December 2020* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The configuration of a campaign is easy and straightforward.&#10;It is also quite easy to create and update an online form. &#10;The reporting functionality is very useful &#10;Have a lot of flexibility to create required fields for the campaign.&#10;The configuration of rules is also quite flexible.
> 
> **Cons**: It would be very useful a better way to export the ideas out of the platform having a connection between the idea and the supporting files associated, at the moment it is imposible to correlate when exporting to a spreadsheet. &#10;The panel review panel it is not very intuitive to score the ideas and we need to host a session to help experts to go idea by idea. The scoring criteria could be improved.&#10;The possibility to have a website to describe a challenge in the same way you can create the form so it is not necessary to have another portal with the description of the challenges.&#10;The possibility to have a Write API to enter idea through an external form or interface (different to workplace or Sideways6 form)
> 
> We are happy with the platform although there is room for improvement on user interface, panel reviews and additional features such as the possibility to have a campaign website

### "Sideways 6 is so much more than an ideation platform" — 5.0/5

> **Karen** | *17 February 2023* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Sideways 6 seamlessly integrates with Yammer and Teams and also has a Forms option.  These different integrations mean that we can now reach more of our staff in more ways. We have used some of the features of Sideways 6 for things other than ideation including scheduling communications, creating a chat bot and monitoring sentiment scoring.
> 
> **Cons**: The platform  looks very different to any of the other software that we use which has been intimidating for staff who are using it for reviews or being brought on board as admins
> 
> One of the most impressive things about working with Sideways 6 has been how they 'walk the walk' of ideation and consult with their customers about what would make their products better.  I have been invited to give loads of feedback on new features and my thoughts and ideas have been welcomed and even implemented\!

### "Outstanding idea management and collaboration tool" — 5.0/5

> **Amil** | *14 February 2023* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The tool is very easy to configure and use throughout an innovation challenge. Sideways6 offers a great customer support during a process and updates.
> 
> **Cons**: Even if part of strategic meetings and product pipelines, it’s very difficult to get tailored features implemented
