Service Improvement Support Used the software for: ### "Strong innovation platform for managing a large number of ideas and posts" November 10, 2015 3.0 Pros: - Easy to use for end user. - Idea management via graduation thresholds - Gamification settings - points - A platform for understanding the business - ideas are often posted that are relevant to the situation our front line staff are experiencing and want to improve or change. - Easy for admin to review ideas in each stage/ manage their progress appropriately - Reporting is easy to use (the upgrade was a positive and needed change!) Cons: - Managing ideas that have been "accepted/ implemented". Typically have to do this offline. Perhaps need a \`investigating further\` option. - Driving user engagement - could the platform have tools to support with this more? Review Source Response from Planview November 12, 2015 Mark, thank you for your well structured response. Feedback from a long time customer such as Ingeus is extremely valuable. We're reviewing your insights with our Product team as we speak. We look forward to continuing the relationship with future releases. SV Sathya V. Manager, Innovation & IP Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Spigit Idea Management" November 3, 2016 4.0 Spigit is an industry leader when it comes to idea management and I have had the experience of interacting with their team to institutionalize the solution in one of my past employments. Their team engages well and provides a good amount of training. At its completion, you will be able to confidently use, manage and administer your innovation challenge. Pros Ease of use Cons From a platform perspective, there is nothing to complain. I would like to see upskilling engagements to allow users to better use their platform more effectively. Perhaps in the last 2 years they have included it already. Review Source GS Gary S. San Diego Innovation Leader Used the software for: ### "The user experience is good and there are a lot of features" December 29, 2015 4.0 Our always on platform is pretty easy for general users, and the additional challenge based environment is a great way to engage the crowd. I especially like the analytics and ROI tools. They also have a great advanced training program. Out of the box, it seems like Spigit has the best thing going. However, some of the admin setup is quite complicated, with antiquated workflows and custom integration isn't their strong suit. I got to see a preview of their newest upgrade plans, and it looks like many of their older tech is being brought up to today's standards and beyond. I am anxious to see the new version. Review Source Response from Planview January 5, 2016 Hi Gary, We're thrilled that you enjoy most of our out of the box features. We're working diligently on rolling out our new upgrade, and look forward to hearing what you think. PA Peter A. IT Service Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Created great business success through tremendous good accepted idea challenges with help by SPIGIT" July 26, 2018 5.0 Pros 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 competion. Cons As it is the same platform for all using companies, it is not easy, to put a desirable new feature into developing queue. Review Source KP Kimberley P. PMO Strategy Analyst Farming Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Spigit review" September 16, 2016 4.0 Ramping up to start using the tool. So far the tool seems relatively intuitive; though from an Administrator perspective I anticipate some confusion between the Community v Challenge level. Pros Collaborative, equalizing, enables contribution for different styles of thinkers (i.e. introverts) not just the loudest voice at the workshop Cons from an Administrator perspective I anticipate some confusion between the Community v Challenge level Review Source DL Denise L. Instructional Designer Insurance Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Planview Spigit is so easy!" May 2, 2019 5.0 Pros Extremely user friendly - I was able to quickly and easily review comments and updates after just a few minutes of review Cons I haven't found any problems with using Spigit Review Source DS Denise S. Executive Assistant Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Sept 8-9 Training" September 8, 2016 5.0 Enjoyed the experience and interactions of the group both facilitator and participants. There is a large learning curve, which, will be managed over time and experience. I'm thankful for the reference material provided, plus ongoing webinars will be helpful. Pros Classes were informative, local to office in UK (convenient). Facilities were acceptable, facilitator is extremely versed in the platform functionalities Review Source SH Shawn H. Director of Corporate Partnerships Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The Spigit sales & support teams exceeded my expectations. Great platform for ideation crowdsourcing" May 1, 2018 5.0 Pros The ability to engage large crowds of constituents across a wide distance and without the need for the admin(s) being an IT professional. The average power user can be an admin. If you can use Excel & Word, you can be a Spigit admin. Cons That with SSO enabled, we cannot also engage with external (non-SSO) crowds, without requiring a separate instance. Review Source LP Loredana P. Graduate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Seamless, supported and fun!" June 7, 2018 5.0 Pros I like that you are able to design your platform in way you like in terms of branding. It gives you a sense of pride and ownership of the platform and ability to make it line up perfectly with your company branding. Cons Since the new version upgrade - nothing! There were issues with being able to easily navigate around the back end as an administrator Review Source EG Edward G. Strategy Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: ### "Edward's review" September 16, 2016 4.0 A lot to learn, but overall it seems intuitive. Good tool and looking forward to using it, once I get the hand of everything. Pros Intuitive useability Cons There's a lot to learn Review Source CW Claude W. IT Manager/Innovation Lead Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Scaleable, intuitive, very collaborative and exciting for our customers to crowdsource ideas." May 2, 2018 4.0 Pros The platform allows for maximum collaboration. Teams are able to quickly and easily use it to submit and collaborate on ideas during innovation challenges. Cons The platform doesn't support multiple authentication sources for single sign-on. This would would be useful in organizations with subsidiaries that maintain their our user directories. Review Source SW Simon W. Team Mgr Workforce Optimisation & Management Infor Banking Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Spigit Review" September 16, 2016 4.0 Just learning the product and what it all is about. It seems like a good tool to engage the whole business on ways to improve. Pros It can involve a whole range of people. There's a whole lot of functions that are centralised. Cons This question would be better ansered after using the tool for a greater period of time. Review Source AF Amanda F. Director of Development Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Phenomenal product to help ease and strategically streamline the innovation process" May 4, 2017 5.0 Pros It is very easy to use for the challenge participants. The interface is visually appealing and is fun to interact with. Cons It takes a little training to get familiar with things to prepare for your first challenge, but things become natural after just a few short uses. Review Source NH Nikita H. Government Administration Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "October Training Session" October 7, 2016 4.0 Very positive - enjoyable learning of the features and processes of the system. The group was very interactive and discussions generated a varied input of questions. As training goes, very positive! Pros Variety of features. Cons Only a few small issues noted - e.g. video uploading into widgets. Review Source LK Linda K.

Executive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Awesome product for staff to Raise Ideas, Collaborate Effectively" June 23, 2018 4.0 Pros A great crowdsourcing tool that allows setting up customised challenges within minutes. We have yet to fully utilise the tool to it's fullest potential as there are some features/functionality that we have not used. Cons \- Prefer the previous ball design of the idea stages in dashboard - Adding other elements of gamifications eg. Badges for user to collect - Push notifications to nudge inactive users Review Source SC Steven C. Senior Mananger Business Improvement Banking Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Product Review" September 16, 2016 3.0 Training was great. But unable provide my user experience with only 2 day training course, more time required to familiar with the product. Pros great for one off challenge or campaign Cons Not ideal for idea ongoing management platform. Review Source KS Kurt S.

Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Using Spigit in Sydney" September 16, 2016 4.0 From a user perspective, Spigit is fairly intuitive and easy to use. From an Admin perspective, it's not quite so straight forward but has lots of flexibility so once you learn how to use it I think it will be quite powerful. Pros \* Ease of use for the user \* Flexibility - it can be as simple, or as complex, as required \* The ability to use Templates to create Challenges Cons \* Complexity of the site administrator \* Some UX gaps e.g. 'New Challenge' isn't a button, not very obvious; when uploading users, error messages are in green, a colour usually used when things are all good Review Source ZP Zander P.

Their proprietary crowd science algorithms and features help take innovation management to the next level. Review Source RC Robert C. Innovation Manager Railroad Manufacture Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "What a great tool!" October 7, 2016 5.0 So many features and customisable functionality, to make the solution as bespoke or standard as you wish. Spigit seems a great tool for gaining some control and centralisation for all the great ideas going on within the company. The training was at a good speed to focus on the areas the client wanted to spend time on. Pros How configurable the software appears. Review Source kP koen P. Chemicals Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "idea generation" October 7, 2016 3.0 first experience in idea generation, new world opening. a bit overloaded with all the functionalities I must admit. very interesting Review Source KF Katherine F. Retail Delivery Manager Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Westfield Spigit Training" September 8, 2016 4.0 The software tool itself is relatively straightforward to understand, however there are some areas which need a lot more practice to understand exactly how advanced their functionality is. Pros The ability to predict as a tool for assessing crowd views on feasibility. The ability to pairwise to narrow down information. Cons The platform needs little more flexibility in design for some pages. Review Source Similar Products Featured
