“Packed with powerful challenge management tools”
Pros
It really helps with organizing and managing challenges effectively. The solution catalogs are also useful, visibility can be restricted by scope and the SSO connection is a big plus. Moreover getting started with the platform is pretty easy and the follow-up meetings along with the CSM's availability are very appreciated.
Cons
There are still a few additional developments needed on the platform. Like filter and tag management could be improved and user updates are not automatic when someone changes roles which would be a valuable addition.

“Feature-rich idea tracking platform”
Pros
This platform offers a wide range of features dedicated to collecting ideas, whether for long-term initiatives or specific challenges. It also makes it possible for us to track how those ideas are implemented over time. Plus the monthly support from the Customer Success Manager helps us get the most out of all these features.
Cons
One thing I did not like is that setting up the platform requires building a reference framework first, along with configuring several parameters that need to be defined in advance.
