Output Reviews & Product Details

Intuitive and easy-to-use platform with fantastic customer support. Very customizable to suit my program needs, including survey features. Data can be exported easily. When I ask others to use the platform, I get very few technical support questions, demonstrating how easy it is to follow.

A very enjoyable user experience - I'm happy I found this! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some minor quibbles - sometimes the data doesn't export as expected, but it is easily correctable. There can be some duplication with user names/entries, but the search function works well, so I have found some easy workarounds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is really easy to use both as an administrator and for our users. It helps us keep all our innovation efforts in one place that is visible across the firm.

In addition, working with Dan and his team has been great. They are knowledgeable about how to engage our staff in firm-wide challenges. They have also been highly receptive to feedback we provide and we have seen the platform grow based on our feedback. It is nice to work with a company that listens and reacts to our needs.

In the early days, there were some glitches when setting up challenges, but since the latest overhaul of the platform, we have not had any major issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have worked with Output, and with Dan Pichette as our main support and contact, since January, 2020. In that time, SHA has run over 30 challenges to various stages of completion. Through every stage, Dan has been available to support and coach us from development to implementation of our various challenges. The platform is excellent, creating a digital 1-stop home base with multi-faceted functionality for crowdsourcing ideas and managing projects. Output provides the opportunity to seamlessly engage all stakeholders to generate ideas, evaluate contributions, and manage projects in our geographically distributed organization.

Our biggest challenges were most often around our own organizational readiness. The platform sometimes felt too big for what we were able to achieve. That said, each update has resulted in more flexibility and support for different types of challenges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything about the platform is simple to use. A minimalist user interface allows for easy navigation and fosters an approach to collecting ideas with very few barriers. Current campaigns or challenges are easy to setup and run. The ease of use encourages a user to not only contribute but to view, vote on, comment, follow and share ideas. Additionally, the platform also allows an innovation team to easily conduct an evaluation process that only helps to speed up the opportunity to provide value through eventual adoption. Definitely a fit for purpose platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be great to be able to collect ideas from everywhere whether it be partners or customers. However, it is understood why an organization would want to keep their innovation pipeline and the information within it internal to the business. Leveraging the capability of conducting public facing surveys would be a way to achieve this requirement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are many features of the platform that we really like. They combine with the overall service we get from Output to really add value for our innovation efforts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've witnessed constant improvements of the platform since we have started using it. Which is one of the things we look for in a potential SAAS product. Right now, I wish we could tag users in the commentary - like you can in many social apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We love that the platform is easy to use but has surprising versatility to accommodate how we like to do things. It's also easy to experiment and try different things to engage our people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We don't really dislike anything. It would be nice to somehow engage external people in a challenge but we can do that with surveys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Output is a one-of-a-kind software solution that is tailored to spurring internal innovation initiatives. It provides the perfect framework for collecting, assessing, and acting on ideas generated from internal employees. It's made our internal innovation competitions so much easier and so much more effective. Can't recommend enough! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As it pertains to running internal innovation initiatives, no complaints! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The people we worked with were very knowledgeable, kind, and friendly. Dan was great at keeping the project moving, following up regularly and getting the job done! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing! it was a great experience and I learned some valuable lessons from Dan re stakeholder engagement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Intuitive. Everything about the product is nice and simple. There is very little that you need to "train". Any person with general software knowledge will get it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool is designed to be simple and therefore lacks configuration. It would be nice if there was simple ways to configure screens more, but this is a difficult balance to strike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to work a-synchronously (like a facebook chat at times). Having 1 stop for all project information and background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not their issue but, we have a double-sign on function that trips up new users often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
