Ideanote Reviews FAQs

Generated using AI

Last updated: Nov 04, 2026

What is Ideanote, and what problem is it built to solve?

Ideanote is an innovation management platform that helps businesses gather, evaluate, and act on ideas from employees and customers. It is built to support continuous growth and creativity through that process.

What languages does Ideanote support?

Ideanote supports 19 languages, including Chinese (Simplified), Czech, Danish, Dutch, and English, among others.

What company sizes and industries is Ideanote the best fit for?

Ideanote has been used across company sizes, with positive experiences especially visible among small businesses. The strongest industry clusters include education, marketing, and technology-related organizations.

Small businesses: The clearest concentration, covering organizations with 50 or fewer employees.
Mid-market: Also represented among organizations with 51–1,000 employees.
Enterprise: Positive use is represented in organizations with more than 1,000 employees.
Education: Education management and higher education are prominent use cases.
Marketing and consulting: Marketing and advertising, along with management consulting, appear frequently.
Technology: Information technology and software organizations also feature among the recurring segments.

How long does it take to implement Ideanote across a team?

Ideanote can be put into use quickly, with under a day the most commonly reported time to go live. Some implementations take longer, depending on the rollout.

Time to go live	Relative frequency
Under 1 day	Most common

What customer support options does Ideanote provide, and how do users find the overall support experience?

Support is available through email/help-desk and chat channels, with 24/7 live-rep assistance. Ideanote users describe the experience as responsive, friendly, and helpful, including quick answers and hands-on guidance.

What is the experience like for teams switching to Ideanote from another tool?

Teams have moved to Ideanote from general-purpose project boards, whiteboards, note-taking apps, and spreadsheets when those tools made ideas hard to collect, discuss, or prioritize. The dedicated idea workflow gives teams a place to develop and evaluate ideas before moving selected work into project management; the transition is often straightforward, though some teams need time to get familiar with its structure and terminology.

What features or capabilities could make Ideanote even more useful?

The most useful improvements would make it easier to connect ideas to the rest of a team’s workflow and tailor the experience to different ways of working.

Expand integrations and make it easier to transfer selected ideas into project-management or other business tools.
Offer more display and visual customization options, such as additional views, color coding, and clearer ways to browse larger collections.
Give teams more flexible guest participation, including options to submit or vote without creating an account.
Add a dedicated mobile app for capturing and managing ideas on the go.

"Excellent Platform for Organizing Thoughtful and Provocative Discussion of Topics of All Kinds"

5/5

What do you like best about Ideanote?

Ideanote is very well designed, from the initial entry of a Topic, through discussion, debates, and final synopsis. I found both the online app and desktop app to be fast, easy to learn and use, Definitely unique in its category, and should be useful for organizations of all kinds. The system has a wide variety of templates to help focus flow and responses, which I found very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ideanote?

I struggled in the beginning to understand the program's organization and flow. I would appreciate having more integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ideanote solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am currently researching two topics: (1) The future of Estate Planning; and (2) The Opportunity and Responsibility for our generation to actively participate in digitization of analog artifacts (which in itself adds real new value as each is added to the overall wealth of mankind). My main request is for others to contribute their ideas and methods, in the hope of compiling everything into a publishable work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Thorough tool for a specific method"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Ideanote?

Ideanote walks participants through the ideation and selection phase of a design process very well. The digital tool allows for massive engagement across time (asynch), and space (shareable links). The potential for crowdsourcing ideas and solutions here is immense. The amount of data that users can visualse in regards to contributors and the votes on concepts is very detailed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ideanote?

Ideating and acting on those is a very valuable process, and a very specific one. This tool could incorporate more functions of surrounding tools more strongly (eg. stronger project management during the implementation phase) to make this more of a one-stop tool. As it is, I don't want one single purpose tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ideas as the key for quality growth"

5/5

What do you like best about Ideanote?

Ideanote is a well done product. The design is beautiful and friendly. It makes an enjoyable experience. So it is easier to find the good mood to start thinking about game-changing ideas. It mixes AI features (autogenerating ideas). And it gives results. After 10 minutes using the app, I noticed that it is a gold mine for growth. I came up with ideas that can make an impact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ideanote?

I thought that I could do the same with my project management software, with my roadmap software, or that my team would not like having an additional software to deal with. At the same time, after using it, my initial fears vanished, and I consider it a product that deserves an own category. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited personal experience with community and template features due to being new to the tool, leaving potential benefits untapped. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ideanote solving and how is that benefiting you?

Stumbling upon Ideanote was a game-changer for me. It's been a real help in getting my jumbled thoughts in order. The platform is great for sorting out my ideas, and I love how I can get feedback and fine-tune things. I haven't explored the templates much yet, but they seem like they'll make things even smoother. And the community aspect? It's something I'm looking forward to diving into.

"A treasure chest for storing and developing your most beautiful ideas"

5/5

What do you like best about Ideanote?

There are a tremendous amount of possibilities to give your own ideas a safe and organized place! I wouldn't know how I could co-create with others in a better way! What's really special? That you can present all the collected ideas in so many ways and also generate a fantastic overview with statistics of everything that has happened in this creative portal! I am currently busy organizing all my loose notes into Ideanote! I will use this daily to provide high-end service to my clients. You definitely need to take the time to learn all the possibilities (much more than I initially thought), but then you have a valuable tool in your hands! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ideanote?

There's not really anything I don't like about Ideanote. At first, it seemed a bit complicated to me, but there are very clear FAQs and instructional videos, which are definitely worth watching to get the most out of this tool!© Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Crowd Source Solutions for your Problems"

5/5

What do you like best about Ideanote?

Helps me to collect ideas from everyone from the top management and also from customers. Gets us different perspectives for the problems we face. This helps me to get out of grey areas and blind spots in our business operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ideanote?

That people need to login to the platform. People are not comfortable to share their ideas in public in share their ideas, fear of judgement by others. Lower participation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ideanote solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Ideanote for two primary purposes. To get ideas and engagement from our core leadership team to improve operations and also for our members for our Bizwiz Challenge. This is where we ask the members to submit their best ideas that worked in their business and our team of evaluators pick the top 3 from the ideas submitted. These ideas are further shared with the community. Ideanote helps us to run these operations smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"IdeaNote - the place for people to keep track of ideas for development and to use it for coms!"

5/5

What do you like best about Ideanote?

After I had installed the app, I had to share it with my team lead developer. They agreeded to it was a great way to fix the issue with getting all ideas into one workspace for us to focus on. I believe ideas need to be explained well and thus we knew this would let us not have to use emails and others to stay on track and in the loop. :) We love the customer support too.

What do you dislike about Ideanote?

We so far have yet to pin point a weak point but will get back here if we see any. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A clean and clear way to brainstorm and develop ideas"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Ideanote?

Great tool to have all Idea Collection, Evaluation, and Idea Development in one place. Also great that it can be used in a multi-team setup, with different view/edit permissions for each team. Highly flexible in how you can set it up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ideanote?

Costly to run multiple businesses/workspaces: each workspace needs its own subscription... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ideanote solving and how is that benefiting you?

We run two organizations: a street children rescue organization (Amani) that operates in three different regions in the country (Tanzania), and a global online learning community about working with street children. For now, we especially use (have started using) IdeaNote to simplify idea collection and evaluation across our three Amani locations. It is a relatively simple way to start collecting ideas, and to then process them together. It can be used nicely in a partially online and partially in-person environment --- moving from one to the other, as suited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple to use, easy to operate and can be used without a long learning curve."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Ideanote?

It simply helps us to gather ideas, both internally and from customers. We are able to bring more innovation into our company and create new products and map this process. I find the AI integration really helpful, which I really wouldn't have thought. It's really easy to use and doesn't need an expensive implementation. We now work with Ideanote on a daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ideanote?

We use special software that cannot be integrated (easily and cheaply). It would be nice to get a few more AI credits each month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exceptional in creating multiple shareable feedback/idea boards"

5/5

What do you like best about Ideanote?

I've been looking for a tool as customizable as ideanote for a long time. What makes it unique is that agencies can use it to share individual boards with their clients so they can share ideas and track the progress of their deliverables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ideanote?

So far. Absolutely Nothing. Everything flows perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ideanote solving and how is that benefiting you?

Other tools, such as canny.io, don't easily allow creating and sharing boards with specific groups of people (e.g., clients), or you have to pay extra and a lot more for that. Ideanote does that perfectly and you can also automate the creation of sections/boards via API which makes things even more interesting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
