"Ichicraft Boards: Enhancing Reporting Across Teams and Functions"
5/5
What do you like best about Bloom Intranet?

At Cargill, our Finance department relies on Ichicraft Boards as a central platform for delivering a wide range of financial reporting products. It has become an essential part of how we communicate insights and share data across teams and business units.

One of the standout features is the Shared Board functionality, which allows us to centrally publish curated dashboards and reports. This ensures a consistent and professional presentation of information across the department. At the same time, the platform offers personalization options, enabling users to tailor their own boards with relevant reports, productivity widgets, and tools that support their individual workflows.

What makes Ichicraft Boards especially valuable is its ease of use—users consistently find it intuitive and straightforward to navigate. It's also quick to implement and install, making onboarding seamless for new teams. The customer support has been excellent, providing timely and helpful assistance whenever needed.

For many in our department, Ichicraft Boards has become a daily driver, supporting both standardized reporting and personal productivity. Its flexibility and reliability have significantly enhanced how we interact with financial data, making it a cornerstone of our reporting ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Personalized Dashboards Made Easy—Fantastic Widgets, Easy to get started"
5/5
What do you like best about Bloom Intranet?

Oh man, where do I start. It is my start of the day, every day. With Ichicraft Boards i have created my personalised dashboard. Our company has supplied lots of useful widgets that I can use just as i like. Not only the standard "Latest emails", "My next appointments" office integration, but also my latest files on my OneDrive and even better the files shared with me (those are hard to find otherwise). They have also created an internal marketplace and traffic information in and around our city.

But the very best two features are: The Files widget, where I can create new documents based on our companies templates and save them to any Team or Site. Awesome! And the Search widget rocks. It feels just a bit better than the standard SharePoint search.

I do remember when loggin in for the first time after it was installed in our environment, I was greeted with a helpful message and I could pick a ready made dashboard to get me started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bloom Intranet?

Sometimes (very rarely) I get an error that is a bit cryptic and we need to involve support. They help out pretty good though, but it would be nice if we get better messages so we can troubleshoot ourselves. Other that that, no major dislikes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Dynamic and Personalized Intranet Solution"
5/5
What do you like best about Bloom Intranet?

I have been using Ichicraft Boards for over five years, implementing Ichicraft Widgetboards on intranets with multiple customers. I immediately saw the benefits for our customers when Ichicraft reached out to us, boasting a significant advantage through ease of use, effective integration with Microsoft SharePoint Online, and its overall appealing appearance. Setting it up was straightforward, requiring just SharePoint admin access and app package installation. The transformation from a static intranet on SharePoint Online to a dynamic and personal user experience is incredibly valuable, addressing the personalization needs that many of our customers desire. The tailored board templates significantly enhance personalization by catering to specific personas within a company, providing each user with a comprehensive and interactive day-start board that includes an overview of the workday, open tasks, calendar, and inbox. Additionally, the application widget, birthday widget, and the capability to create reusable templates stand out as particularly useful features. I appreciate the continuous improvements and the way Ichicraft is receptive to feedback from customers and resellers, showcasing their flexibility. These aspects collectively underline why I would choose Ichicraft Boards again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A powerful, flexible, and secure M365-native intranet solution"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Bloom Intranet?

What I like most about Ichicraft Boards is that all data remains securely in our own Microsoft 365 environment. Unlike other third-party intranet tools that store content in their own cloud, Ichicraft leverages our existing M365 setup and permissions.

It is highly flexible, responsive, and thoughtfully designed for both end-users and administrators. Because it runs directly on our tenant, we can seamlessly use existing security groups, SharePoint permission groups, or M365 groups to manage access.

The product is continuously improved with frequent updates, and their support team is knowledgeable, helpful, and fast. Overall, the implementation is smooth, intuitive, and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bloom Intranet?

There are some learning curves for both users and administrators, especially when exploring all the customization options and features. However, the documentation and support resources make it manageable, and once you get familiar with the platform, it becomes very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ichicraft Boards: Your one-stop resource for everything digital"
5/5
What do you like best about Bloom Intranet?

Since we introduced Ichicraft Boards, it's made a real difference in how we work day to day. Instead of jumping between desktop apps, websites, and tools, everything we need—news, updates, resources, and apps—is now in one easy-to-use place.

What makes it even better is the personal touch. Each person can customize their board to show what’s most important to them—whether that’s quick links to frequently used apps, a feed of company news, or shortcuts to team documents. This flexibility means everyone gets a workspace that fits their style, helping them stay focused and feel more in control of their day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bloom Intranet?

At the moment, there’s very little to dislike. Whenever we submit feature requests, the team is highly responsive and supportive throughout the research and development process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
