Planview IdeaPlace is an innovation management software solution that helps organizations run structured, time-bound challenges to capture, evaluate, and prioritize ideas from employees, partners, or external audiences. It applies natural language processing, crowd-based ranking, and expert review to narrow large volumes of ideas down to those with the highest implementation potential. IdeaPlace connects selected ideas directly into Planview Portfolios, Planview AdaptiveWork, or Planview ProjectPlace for funding, resourcing, and execution, rather than functioning as a standalone idea collection tool. It is designed for innovation leaders running enterprise innovation programs who need a governed, repeatable process in place of ad hoc idea collection through email, spreadsheets, or one-off events. Main capabilities include: • Challenge management, including challenge templates, configurable idea capture forms, and TeamTap, which lets users create and run challenges without administrator access • Idea evaluation tools such as pairwise ranking, crowd predictions, and expert review, along with NLP-based idea consolidation that removes duplicate submissions and narrows large idea pools • Innovation analytics through embedded Power BI dashboards that track idea progress, cost to impact, speed to market, and employee engagement, with OData connectivity to Tableau, Excel, and other BI tools • Program engagement features, including gamification such as badges, points, and reputation scores, social activity tools, and personalized user experiences based on skills and interests • Native integrations, including Idea to Portfolio, Idea to Project, and Idea to Delivery Teams, that move selected ideas directly into Planview Portfolios, AdaptiveWork, and ProjectPlace without manual re-entry Each challenge in IdeaPlace follows a defined lifecycle, from soft launch through ideation, expert review, pairwise ranking, and selection, with defined roles for administrators, challenge sponsors, moderators, experts, and participants. * * * Seller [Planview](https://www.g2.com/sellers/planview) Discussions [Planview IdeaPlace Community](https://www.g2.com/products/planview-ideaplace/discuss) Languages Supported Arabic, German, English, French, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Chinese (Simplified) Solution Type Best-of-Breed Overview by James Lustenader (Director of Customer Marketing at Planview) Show More ## Value at a Glance Averages based on real user reviews. ### Time to Implement 3 months ### Return on Investment 19 months [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/planview-ideaplace/pricing) ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![Brightidea Innovation Management](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Brightidea Innovation Management") Brightidea Innovation Management 4.3/5(214) ](https://www.g2.com/products/brightidea-innovation-management/reviews) [ ![Qmarkets Impact-Driven Innovation Software](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Qmarkets Impact-Driven Innovation Software") Qmarkets Impact-Driven Innovation Software 4.5/5(43) ](https://www.g2.com/products/qmarkets-impact-driven-innovation-software/reviews) [ ![IdeaScale](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "IdeaScale") IdeaScale 4.5/5(28) ](https://www.g2.com/products/ideascale/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/planview-ideaplace/competitors/alternatives) ## User Insights Average based on 61 real user reviews.

I would have to say nothing. It has never worked for me and we continually get error messages. I’ve never been able to submit an idea to my company - I have tried 6 times, put in a lot of time to only get an error message and a picture of a cat. Got an update from the vendor that their app doesn't work in specific parts of the world. What SaaS application doesn't work in specific areas (it's not like I'm in China or North Korea). Impossible for our organization to fully use this because a chunk of our employees can't submit ideas. And incredibly weird in that we access the site, but can't submit anything. No workaround and no timeline for fixing this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Planview IdeaPlace? Same as the above. It’s also a pretty clunky tool and not a great user interface. It feels like old software - like something built 10 years ago and it’s just been hanging around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Planview IdeaPlace solving and how is that benefiting you? We are using it to source ideas from our employees and then vote on them. Although kind of useless when a percentage of your employees can't even use the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like: - The whitelabeled portal - The ability to get feedback on ideas from across the organization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Planview IdeaPlace?

Great support by SPIGIT pro's, leading you for the first steps (if you like) and shipping you around the cliffs, for getting a total success already at the first idea competition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Planview IdeaPlace? Only a minor note: As it is the same platform for all using companies, it is not easy, to put a desirable new feature into developing queue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Planview IdeaPlace: As on every other innovation tool a thorough preparation of the idea challenge is the key to the success. So I recommend to let the SPIGIT pro's take you by the hand for the first run, for having a real success. The overall use is quite easy and the implementation of a secure login 'single sign on' (SSO) from the company network using ID card or 'One Time Password' (OTP) providing a sure login for users of mobile devices is possible, to protect your results.

Flexibility of the tool to adapt to multiple client situations. Ability to customize a challenge to a specific audience or crowd. We have run over 1000 challenges that are very diverse. It is has been able to adapt to all of the situations we have attempted. Some time takes a bit of work with the tool to get it right, but so far it has been outstanding. Another component I like a lot is the inisghts tool and ability to embedded dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Planview IdeaPlace?

Our current program used to rely on spreadsheets and access database. Moving to Spigit allowed us to become more efficient and automate our process. It gives a very nice visibility to all submissions, and encourages users to collaborate, like a social media platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Planview IdeaPlace? We would like to see easier ways of exporting ideas. Currently, Spigit leverages a 3rd party vendor . We would like that our users search in their tool and export their results. We would like to have clearer visual for category moderators: our program gets a lot of ideas so when you have very large numbers, it'S easy to lose track on what's on your plate. You then need to use the reports provided by the 3rd party, build your own dashboards, etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
