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 like the ease of use and the ability to customize it to our needs. Our users also love the interace and I get comments constantly about how easy it is to use. In a world of corporate red tape, Spigit makes one thing simple - ideation. I also liked working with the professional services team. They were extremely helpful in not only setting up the site but making me think differently about innovation. They are truly innovation experts! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Planview IdeaPlace? I dislike that sometimes it's hard to set up a new challenge format. Because the system is so advanced, there are so many different features, sometimes it's hard to set up a brand new, simple challenge. I went to trianing as well, it's just that the system can do so many different things, I want to be sure I'm not missing a step when settting up a new challenge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Planview IdeaPlace: Have a full time posiiton or two depending on size and how many challenges you want to implement. In order to do multiple challenges consurrently, you need a dedicated internal resource. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like about the Spigit tool is the idea of having challenges to compel the competitive and innovative spirit, in addition it helps to foster a collaborative environment, as people share their ideas, others offer suggestions to improve and that the Spigit tool gets the general population involved in voting for ideas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Planview IdeaPlace? I work in a busy environment, and it was hard to get people to go in and just view the ideas out there, to offer opinions and ask questions. When we had challenges, then we had people looking, but when we had a general challenge open (it never closed), it was difficult to get anyone to go in and review ideas. This in itself it not a fault with the Spigit tool, rather the way we were using the Spigit tool. I'm not so sure about the Insights reporting tool, we just started using it, and it's not very intuitive. In time through use, we'll probably get used to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Planview IdeaPlace solving and how is that benefiting you? We used Spigit to help build a culture of Innovation in our group (CQN). After three years of using the tool and implementing the CQN Innovation program, we have a culture of innovation now, where more innovations are celebrated and highlighted, and through increased visibility through News letters, presentations to senior management, a quarterly innovation shark tank, and even a live shark tank we've saved millions of dollars in productivity and cost avoidance, and shared and adapted innovations cross groups.

Easy to use with an intuitive user interface design for participants. Given that is based on social-media it feels and becomes really collaborative. Creating new challenges is relatively easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Planview IdeaPlace? Needs some improvement in the admin experience. Although the support is great, there are still many issues to be solved and features to be improve. Managing the widgets is quite tedious if you're not really familiar with the exact names of the ones you're looking for. The search field needs some improvement and the insights tool is quite tedious to create new reports (it is really time consuming). Tasks should be supported on the mobile version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Planview IdeaPlace solving and how is that benefiting you? Increase in participation during the problem solving/ideation phases. We've been currently using Spigit for almost a year now, just using the challenge based feature. We've tackled different business problems, from environmental ones to production or strategic ones.
