Easy to use and inspiring platform. Users are surprised by the nice graphics which differ from many other platforms. Main functionalities are well chosen and an overview of all topics is easy to get. Recent activities are easy to follow. Simple but powerful tool. Excellent customer service\! > > **Cons**: Some functionalities could be still developed e.g. drag and drop functionality would have been nice at some phases and functionality where the users "apply" to a certain idea could be located in the main view of an idea. > > Viima enabled us an inspiring start for cooperation between three large organisations and helped in involving over 1000 staff members to co-develop together. ----- ### "Easy and fun way to generate idea" — 5.0/5 > **Nicole** | *15 October 2021* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is very easy to understand, and even people with less technical interest got to use it very fast and enjoy using it. > > **Cons**: The bubble are fun and colourful, it is not always clear why they keep changing position and the filter system is not always very visible. > > For the moment we are using as a continuous improvement system. But we are thinking on extending this for specific project and even use this for the weekly team meeting minutes. ----- ### "Easy functions, transparent innovation, easy to integrate, great people" — 4.0/5 > **Helena** | *29 September 2017* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great idea to make innovating transparent and accessible for all. The UI is easy to use based on intuition and most features (idea process , categories etc) are defined by the user. The software is also easily integrated into Sharepoint and other sites / tools already in use in the company. This makes it easy to remind people Viima > > **Cons**: Some of the features could still be developed, for example different colors for ideas in different phases of the ideation process. Right now they are all the same color. Also some reminders could be sent automatically, not just via email but also as text messages or as popups when people open Sharepoint (where we have integrated Viima). It is hard to get people to update the ideas, since the ideas are not designed to be updated and followed up in Viima. Maybe an integration with Trello, or a similar app would be ideal? > > More transparency in our ideation process and a fun way to suggest new ideas ----- ### "I've been really satisfied with Viima's intuitive and fun tool as well as with the proactive support" — 5.0/5 > **Tanja** | *9 June 2017* | Gambling & Casinos | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Viima's visual user interface has helped us to motivate our employees to participate into giving their own ideas and developing the ideas of others. The tool is so simple to use that none of our employees have needed user training even though we have people from various different background. Viima can also be used for several different purposes simultaneously (e.g. continuous ideation, idea challenges, developing the organizational culture etc.) and setting it up for new use cases is relly fast. In Viima I can quickly see which ideas are the most important and what the status of the ideation funnel at any given moment. Viima's support has been very helpful on occasions that I've needed it, but mostly we've been able to use the software without any outside help. > > **Cons**: Viima can send out notification emails to users on relevant occasions and these emails have only been available in English. But as I've understood, they are soon releasing support for customizing the emails into other languages as well (Finnish in our case). > > Great ideation tool for both the Company and for the customer relations outside the Company. ----- ### "PlanBox has been an easy to use and effective tool to solicit, gather and track ideas." — 4.0/5 > **Roy** | *27 July 2017* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1. The PlanBox software is easy to use from both an end-user perspective and an administrator's perspective. 2. Excellent value proposition. > > **Cons**: 1. Time consuming process to score challenge ideas. On average each idea took our users 2-3 minutes to score. When coupled with 75-100 submitted ideas, each person responsible for scoring a challenge idea can take between 2-4 hours of time on top of their day jobs. Solution: A user interface listing each of the ideas and the respective scoring criteria along with a link to the idea to be scored would be most helpful in tabular format. Enhancing the Idea Manager feature to include more fields for selection, filtering and managing ideas would go a long way as a list view with links reduces the amount of user interface clicks/navigation. 2. Enhanced data visualization (e.g. control charts, sliders, etc.) ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/457232/HYPE-Innovation?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/457232/HYPE-Innovation) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
