• Integration with SharePoint works well • Quick overview of projects and changes from colleagues • No training necessary, as most functions are intuitive to understand. Clear website with assistance in text and video form. (e.g., "Learn DEON in 30 minutes!") • Good for providing an overview of individual project points during video conferences • Writing in multipage documents works great. From my perspective, exporting the text via SharePoint into the PDF document would be useful. • Files can be easily inserted via drag & drop • Creating tasks for projects with multiple participants is well thought out and clearly presented. A deadline, notes, and the responsible person can be set.

DEON is a great collaboration tool. The biggest advantage is the collaboration with internal and external colleagues. The great usibility allowed quick onboarding for all users and the shared workspace was a good basis for brainstorming and projects. Moreover, it is commendable that the German company keeps their data in Germany regarding DSGVO issues.

Overall: - We chose DEON over MIRO and MURAL. Both other tools are very good for developers or people who usually want to have a very simple communication platform and are otherwise using complex or complicated views. In our case, however, we wanted to have a visual communication platform for more demanding content; e.g. non-redundant linked documents and clear rights of access for every user, on demand. There is a lot of functionality overlap, compared to other tools. - It is not cheaper, but also not more expensive than other tools - It is pretty intuitive to use. We already had a nice experience of a workshop with probably 6 net active hours on the platform and it was amazing: The Template-Sharing function was a highlight in that session. - Combined with state-of-the-art Breakout sessions (e.g. available in MS-Teams or Zoom), you can have a lot of fun and literally “go in and out” of rooms (and choose whom are you talking or not-talking to). This should be considered normal nowadays. #normalizedigitalization What do I like best? - DEON is a german company and runs its server under the german data protection regulations (DSVO). We use it to collaborate with our customers (german SME’s). Typically, german customers opt for german providers because of they do not want any third-party authority (e.g. US government agencies) have access to their data. I don’t like it, but on-premise is also possible. - I have had very nice support from the DEON Team, thanks to Tomas. He was willing to share his insightful glance to the tool, to proactively troubleshoot / avoid upcoming difficulties in my planned workshops. And he also is reachable on Whatsapp. Yes, that is normal too. - Its intuitive front-end lets you improvise, when you are not sure how to do it.
