Director Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 9/3/2025 "Accelerate your innovation journey with Ideawake" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Ideawake? Ideawake has truly been a game changer for us this year. The platform stands out for its simplicity and intuitive design, making it incredibly easy to use for both participants and administrators. Unlike other platforms, the learning curve is minimal, which has helped us scale adoption quickly. Over the past six months, we've been consistently impressed by the responsive customer support and the modern, user-friendly features. Its ability to integrate seamlessly with our existing systems has further enhanced our experience, making Ideawake a valuable tool in driving innovation across the organization." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Ideawake? Extract detailed analytics or insights from ideation events. The navigation within the reporting features can also be unintuitive Additionally, the platform lacks filtering ideas just like excel and also idea tracking feature Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Ideawake solving and how is that benefiting you? What we appreciate most about Ideawake is the transparency it brings to the ideation process. Participants can view, vote on, and comment on each other's ideas, which fosters a collaborative environment. One of the key strengths of the platform is its ability to drive engagement—thanks to its built-in gamification features. These elements make ideation events more interactive and enjoyable, encouraging broader participation across teams. Additionally, the platform offers customizable workflows and stage configurations, allowing us to tailor the process to suit different types of innovation challenges. The scoring and evaluation criteria can be modified on the fly, giving us the agility to adapt quickly based on the nature of the event. These capabilities make Ideawake a powerful and flexible tool for managing innovation across the organization." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Director of Engineering Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 9/3/2025 "Fantastic Tool Driven by Incredible Team" 5/5 What do you like best about Ideawake? From the initial "interview" with the Ideawake team to see if they could meet our needs, I knew we'd found a partner in success rather than just another SaaS offering to spend money on. There was willingness to walk through what we hoped to get out of the tool and create a implementation which satisfied our goals. Throughout the integration process and launch, the tool itself has been solid — but it’s the team behind the scenes that has truly been amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Ideawake? There were a couple of features on the roadmap at the time of integration we were able to find temporary solutions for. This was our only hiccup and even this was resolved as soon as new features were released (which happens quite often!). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Ideawake solving and how is that benefiting you? A straightforward process for idea collection, a community for collaboration, and an automated ranking and approval process streamlined multiple tools into a single platform.

Ideawake has excellent customer service. We receive individualized instruction and troubleshooting regularly. Whenever we have questions outside of normally scheduled calls, responses are received very quickly, typically within 24 hours. The platform is very easy to use and customize to whatever our needs are for that use case. The platform integrates with SSO and our IT security. It is very customizable and the team helps us adapt the platform for our various use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Ideawake? Use on devices other than a computer (e.g., tablets or phones) can be tricky at times because there is no app. Screen size can impact ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Ideawake solving and how is that benefiting you? We have been able to customize Ideawake to meet a variety of needs. It is currently used to submit performance improvement ideas, which are executed and posters of the results are submitted for various symposia. The projects (and posters of results) are then judged in the platform. In-person symposia are held and winners are announced there. Those that cannot attend events can view the projects in Ideawake, which has been approved for awarding CEUs to virtual attendees. We use it crowdsource ideas and feedback/comments on a particular idea, gather staff survey data, and collect outside vendor data. The platform has been very adaptable and customizable to meet our needs. This makes us much more efficient and allows us to get feedback from employees across our enterprise, located in several different states. We have used it to judge symposia, which allows for judges to be located across the enterprise and for individuals to judge who could not attend the in-person presentations. We are getting ready to use it to recruit innovative ideas from employees and get those employees into our facilities to turn their ideas into prototypes and other real world use products.
