Never works **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 29, 2020 **What do you like best about Planview IdeaPlace?** 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. **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. **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. ### 6. Terrible UI **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 13, 2020 **What do you like best about Planview IdeaPlace?** I like: - The whitelabeled portal - The ability to get feedback on ideas from across the organization **What do you dislike about Planview IdeaPlace?** I dislike: - The UI. It is outdated and difficult to use - Unnecessarily complex workflows - We've experienced so many bugs like things not saving or updating when you press the button. Your comments don't autosave either, so when the page stops working (which it does often) your work is lost - Data export is possible but not simple **What problems is Planview IdeaPlace solving and how is that benefiting you?** - Streamlining idea collection from across the business - Transparent way of promoting good ideas ### 7. Created great business success through tremendous good accepted idea challenges with help by SPIGIT **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 30, 2018 **What do you like best about Planview IdeaPlace?** Flexible to configure and to use according the own needs. Great volume of features. Easy configuration when passing the initial admin training. 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. **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. **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. **What problems is Planview IdeaPlace solving and how is that benefiting you?** Getting people engaged to share their ideas in several idea competitions from service related topic over product improvements, new product suggestions, to production improvements at a 360.000 employee company. Driving over 100 idea challenges from more than 20 different business units of our company during the last 4 years, receiving more than 4000 ideas, which were attracting more than 60.000 different users causing more that 80.000 views, creating over 20.000 comments, leaving over 55.000 votes and more than 10.000 reviews. ### 8. Great, comprehensive solution for idea management **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Seraphina L. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 21, 2018 **What do you like best about Planview IdeaPlace?** - Layout is user-friendly; - Messaging, rewards management and idea discussion can be done in the same place; - Fairly easy to launch, edit timed challenges; - Allows administrators to add customised content, e.g., success stories, any other comms **What do you dislike about Planview IdeaPlace?** - No mobile app for the software, and mobile version of the website does not have access to features that are not part of the ongoing challenges; - Reporting does not include export of details in the idea templates - Names of common widgets (to select for display) are not entirely straightforward **What problems is Planview IdeaPlace solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our focus is mainly to boost the organisation innovation culture, and problems are related to customer experience and the efficiency of our operations. Key benefits realised are more transparency on the management of ideas arising from the ground and a greater awareness of the relationship between ideation, problem-solving and innovation. ### 9. Best tool for crowd sourcing ideation **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2017 **What do you like best about Planview IdeaPlace?** 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. **What do you dislike about Planview IdeaPlace?** Some of the recent UI improvements are not really improvements. Specifically, I liked the Ball effect for the Idea Stages. The new approach is not very useful. On the plus side of the new UI, I do like the Admin console, especially the graduation criteria panel. **Recommendations to others considering Planview IdeaPlace:** Yes **What problems is Planview IdeaPlace solving and how is that benefiting you?** Across our organization we have seen outstanding results. We have been able to identify specific $ savings and net new pipeline of opportunities. It is used across our organization to drive innovation for multiple clients as part of our managed services work. ### 10. Get your Innovation program a step further! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Isabelle L. | Business Analyst, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 03, 2018 **What do you like best 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 **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 **What problems is Planview IdeaPlace solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are bringing visibility to our ideas (our users complained the program wasn't transparent), which in return decreases our duplicated submissions It improves our process time ### 11. A complete platform **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 23, 2018 **What do you like best about Planview IdeaPlace?** I have looked at several innovation/idea management platforms, and so far Spigit seems to stand out as the most complete platform. I like the over all simplicity and robustness. We were able to quick implement SSO and set up our challenges. **What do you dislike about Planview IdeaPlace?** The user interface looks a bit dated and can use a new refreshed look. Being able to add your branding is good, but that part can be more feature-rich. The user permissions and a mix of SSO/form-login for a wide mix of end users would be beneficial too. **Recommendations to others considering Planview IdeaPlace:** Make sure you have a good strategy and goal before making a platform decision. It requires a lot of financial and time investment to roll out an idea management software **What problems is Planview IdeaPlace solving and how is that benefiting you?** Spigit is our primary idea management platform. We have a large group of talented people with many technical/non-technical backgrounds. It is vital for us to ensure that we are capturing ideas from everyone and applying these ideas timely and effectively. ### 12. Don't even try and do crowd sourced innovation on a big scale without Spigit **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mike A. | Founder, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 10, 2018 **What do you like best about Planview IdeaPlace?** It just works. People love using it. It solves the problem, not just of finding ideas, but the much bigger problem of finding the best ideas. **What do you dislike about Planview IdeaPlace?** There's probably too much functionality that I've never used. **Recommendations to others considering Planview IdeaPlace:** Look beyond the problem of engaging people to find ideas. There's a million ways of doing that - Spigit is very good at it, but its core capability which you shouldn't underestimate is the job of sifting the good from the not so good ideas. **What problems is Planview IdeaPlace solving and how is that benefiting you?** Two problems: engaging people, involving them in change which we measure by the number of people we can get participating. We've exceeded 25% of employees on each challenge. Depending on the nature of the challenge, we choose ideas based on the ROI which can be calculated in Spigit. Secondly, solving tricky problems by finding ideas from the front-line. Here the ROI is likely to be far more important. ### 13. Fabulous Experience **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Banking | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 03, 2018 **What do you like best about Planview IdeaPlace?** I personally love the way that Spigit has developed a clear process for leveraging your crowd. While there are some aspects that are customizable, the standard Spigit approach works really well. I love the ability to pull reports and get a clear picture of how to create an amazing experience for our end users. When first launching, Spigit provided great support and helped us navigate and we've really gone from strength to strength as a result. The support team are quick and really do whatever they can to sort out any issues timeously. I also really appreciate their openness to feedback (based on the user experience) and how they will endeavour to make those changes on the platform. Makes it feel like we're all working together for the best crowd-sourcing platform (they practice what they preach:)) **What do you dislike about Planview IdeaPlace?** There are some pieces that are cumbersome and difficult to navigate (can't be customized). They are still new so getting all the algorithms right can only come with time (i.e. Pairwise). **What problems is Planview IdeaPlace solving and how is that benefiting you?** Currently looking for ways to clear the clutter, create the ultimate customer experience, build on the culture. We've had some really excellent feedback from business with a "surprise" response in terms of engagement from the business areas. People are really enjoying it and love the "fun" that comes with participating in challenges. ### 14.

Multi-functional and easy to use. **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Real Estate | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 06, 2018 **What do you like best about Planview IdeaPlace?** I was able to self-teach myself how to navigate and configure the software. It also works great for idea management and progression- the voting and collaboration is a powerful tool that provides quick feedback. We've been able to use the platform for both Innovation Challenges and as a Project Tracker. The project section of the site captures key Initiation details about each project and enable us to review and assess validity of each proposed project. **What do you dislike about Planview IdeaPlace?** The terminology; a definitions manual would be great to explain the community hierarchy and roles within the system. The admin training provided was very basic; it would be good if it was more specialised and not just targetted at beginners. **What problems is Planview IdeaPlace solving and how is that benefiting you?** Improve Innovation - generate efficiency through cost savings and new ideas to generate revenue. Track Project Initiation Info - Centralised web based location to store and assess project information to determine if project is viable and will produce benefits. ### 16. Great for Ideation and Beyond **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Pharmaceuticals | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 08, 2018 **What do you like best about Planview IdeaPlace?** I like this system's ease of use. Users are able to use the tool without training, so they can focus on providing valuable information rather than trying to understand the system's use. **What do you dislike about Planview IdeaPlace?** I really like the system, and the support provided. I am still learning the system, but have no major concerns. I think there is a steeper learning curve for the role of administrator, but this is to be expected. **Recommendations to others considering Planview IdeaPlace:** This is a user friendly and fun system to use. It is rich with features that we are still exploring. **What problems is Planview IdeaPlace solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have been solving business issues, which vary by department.

We have had other challenges in other organizations and more in the pipeline, with the challenges being diverse. ### 20.

Trying to make an ideation session match external website in formatting and branding can be challenging due to limitations in customization. It can also be difficult to group idea submitters in order to send follow-up emails. **What problems is Planview IdeaPlace solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are attempting to get more people inside a large company involved in innovation in their daily roles as employees. Spigit allows us to incentive participation, and allows employees to interact with each other in new ways that spur more creative thinking. ### 21.

They have a quick and easy way to setup "Challenges" within your organization to help capture these ideas. **What do you dislike about Planview IdeaPlace?** The down side is that they are a good "idea bucket" not helping with tracking and implementing those ideas. There is no good system that help you drive ideas into implementation. **Recommendations to others considering Planview IdeaPlace:** Again Spigit will help capture your ideas but you are on your own to implement and make sure your ideas are tracked in your own system. **What problems is Planview IdeaPlace solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are finding ways to be more green and saving cost across the company ### 24.

Internally, the flexibility of the application and the functionality solve many reporting problems, create efficiency and prevents much double documentation that my team currently has to do. **What do you dislike about Planview IdeaPlace?** Some of the required elements on the forms don't match 100% with the way that we need to do business. For example, we have to have a unique name that the user enters, however, we have many repeat users and therefore that needed to be solved for creatively. **What problems is Planview IdeaPlace solving and how is that benefiting you?** Preventing the need for double documentation, and the flexibility of the reporting. ### 26.

Easy for remote employees to weigh in on ideas. **What do you dislike about Planview IdeaPlace?** Over all it there wasn't much I didn't like. I didn't not have to do any of the set up so I can't grade that- I did hear a few things from coworkers that it wasn't totally intuitive. **Recommendations to others considering Planview IdeaPlace:** As I first time use, I thought it was great. It was neat to see everyone's feedback right away and it was easy to leave my own. Looking forward to getting to know/use the program more! **What problems is Planview IdeaPlace solving and how is that benefiting you?** Bridging communication gap in remote employees.
