Their customer service is unmatched the implementation was much easier than expected. Overall their platform is easy to use but still has all the features my team needs. It also integrated well with the other software we use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Ideawake? There honestly isn't too much I don't like. If I had to pick something it would be that at first glance the software has a lot of different features which can feel overwhelming at first. But the implementation team walked us through everything step by step so I understood it much better after we went through the onboarding process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most significant piece that our team likes about Ideawake is its high degree of customization (supported on very tight turnaround times by its product team), that enables very targeted idea challenges so staff know what to expect of the experience and what to expect as outcomes for their interaction and ideas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Ideawake? Ideawake is rapidly improving. So there are some minor features that will be very useful for large scale idea management that are getting built in every day. That said, we have already asked for several features that were implemented within days and others that are in the works for the near term. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Ideawake solving and how is that benefiting you? How do you source ideas from a large organization, prioritize them, all while setting expectations of those interacting with the idea management system. Ideawake is able to do this very well. The team helped us set up a general challenge right away (took less than a day), and are coaching us through how to setup a very targeted challenge and socialization of that challenge through our health system.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/24/2023 "Idea management system with user-friendly interface and simple configuration capabilities" 4/5 What do you like best about Ideawake? Ideawake is EASY to navigate. The tool is broken up into 4 simple system roles with different privileges across those roles. When it comes to idea management, it has the right objects in place to take an idea from submission to execution. We used Ideawake to support a pretty large and well-established innovation lab at an enterprise-sized government agency. They had a robust process and Ideawake was able to help support/replicate it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Ideawake? While configuration activities are simple to conduct by someone new to the system, its simplicity can sometimes come at the cost of full-on customization. We had to make some compromises in how we stood up the system to make sure it mimicked our existing idea management process correctly. Additionally, we have found multiple bugs throughout the system. Nothing that is detrimental to our operation or use of the system, but more so with cosmetics and buttons not working / things not showing up on users' screens. The Ideawake team is very responsive and quick to get developers to look into these bugs though. I suppose these are paint points of a younger software company with a newer tool on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Ideawake solving and how is that benefiting you? Ideawake provides end-to-end idea management for what otherwise would be a pretty manual process using PPTs and Excel Sheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
