What do you like best about Ideanote?

Ideanote is very well designed, from the initial entry of a Topic, through discussion, debates, and final synopsis.

I found both the online app and desktop app to be fast, easy to learn and use,

Definitely unique in its category, and should be useful for organizations of all kinds.

The system has a wide variety of templates to help focus flow and responses, which i found very ueful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ideanote?

I struggled in the beginning to understand the program's organization and flow.

I would appreciate have more integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ideanote solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am currently researching two tpics: (1) The future of Estate Planning; and (2) The Opportunity and Responsibility for our generation to actively participate in digitization of analog atifacts (which in itself adds eall new value as each is added to the overall wealth of mankind). My main request is or others to contribute their ideas and methods, in the hope of compiling everything into a publishable work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ideanote?

Ideanote walks participants through the ideation and selection phase of a design process very well. The digital tool allows for massive engagement across time (asynch), and space (shareable links). The potential for crowdsourcing ideas and solutions here is immense. The amount of data that users can visualse in regards to contributors and the votes on concepts is very detailed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ideanote?

Ideating and acting on those is a very valuable process, and a very specific one. This tool could incorporate more functions of surrounding tools more strongly (eg. stronger project management during the implementation phase) to make this more of a one-stop tool. As it is, I don't want one single purpose tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ideanote solving and how is that benefiting you?

Collecting independent ideas from people, without group think. The sorting with comments and voting is a key inclusion that helped idea selection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ideanote?

Ideanote is a well done product. The design is beautiful and friendly. It makes an enjoyable experience. So it is easier to find the good mood to start thinking about game-changing ideas. It mixes AI features (autogenerating ideas). And it gives results. After 10 mitues using the app, I noticed that it is a gold mine for growth. I came up with ideas that can make an impact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ideanote?

I thought that I could do the same with my project management software, with my roadmap software, or that my team would not like having an additional software to deal with. At the same time, after using it, my initial fears vanished, and I consider it a product that deserves an own category. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ideanote solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ideanote helps me to do our products exceptional. I am often tempted to create new product, new projectcs, etc. With ideanote I have a better focus on quality and on making the existing things work better and to be leading in our field. And that gives good results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Facilitates collecting and incorporating feedback to refine ideas.

Offers a variety of templates to kickstart the idea organization process.

Provides access to a community for additional support and inspiration.

Acts as a comprehensive repository for all creative thoughts, making them accessible and actionable.

What do you dislike about Ideanote?

The platform's emphasis on organisation and structure might occasionally stifle spontaneous creative flow.

Limited personal experience with community and template features due to being new to the tool, leaving potential benefits untapped. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ideanote solving and how is that benefiting you?

Stumbling upon Ideanote was a game-changer for me. It's been a real help in getting my jumbled thoughts in order. The platform is great for sorting out my ideas, and I love how I can get feedback and fine-tune things. I haven't explored the templates much yet, but they seem like they'll make things even smoother. And the community aspect? It's something I'm looking forward to diving into. Ideanote is making it easier for me to focus on the ideas that really matter and bring them to life. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ideanote?

There are a tremendous amount of possibilities to give your own ideas a safe and organized place! I wouldn't know how I could co-create with others in a better way! What's really special? That you can present all the collected ideas in so many ways and also generate a fantastic overview with statistics of everything that has happened in this creative portal! I am currently busy organizing all my loose notes into Ideanote! I will use this daily to provide high-end service to my clients. You definitely need to take the time to learn all the possibilities (much more than I initially thought), but then you have a valuable tool in your hands! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ideanote?

There's not really anything I don't like about Ideanote. At first, it seemed a bit complicated to me, but there are very clear FAQs and instructional videos, which are definitely worth watching to get the most out of this tool!© Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ideanote solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am very creative; it prevents me from becoming chaotic and helps me keep everything clear and in view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ideanote?

Helps me to collect ideas from everyone from the top managment and also from customers. Gets us different perspectives for the problems we face. This helps me to get out of grey areas and blind spots in our business operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ideanote?

That people need to login to the platform. People are not comfortable to share thier ideas in public in share their ideas, fear of judgement by others. Lower participation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ideanote solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Ideanote for two primary purposes. To get ideas and engagmenet from our core leadership team to improve operations and also for our members for our Bizwiz Challenge. This is where we ask the members to submit their best ideas that worked in their business and our team of evaluators pick the top 3 from the ideas submitted. These ideas are further shared with the community. Ideanote helps us to run these operations smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ideanote?

After I had installed the app, I had to share it with my team lead developer. They agreeded to it was a great way to fix the issue with getting all ideas into one workspace for us to focus on. I believe ideas need to be explained well and thus we knew this would let us not have to use emails and others to stay on track and in the loop. :) We love the customer support too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ideanote?

We so far have yet to pin point a weak point but will get back here if we see any. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ideanote solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mind mapping is one my all time fav for a way to showcase to myself and others what I have in mind, so this is #1. The idea management is something I never had so am excited to see what this can for my brain and my teams brains! :D Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ideanote?

Great tool to have all Idea Collection, Evaluation, and Idea Development in one place. Also great that it can be used in a multi-team setup, with different view/edit permissions for each team. Highly flexible in how you can set it up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ideanote?

Costly to run multiple businesses/workspaces: each workspace needs its own subscription... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ideanote solving and how is that benefiting you?

We run two organizations: a street children rescue organization (Amani) that operates in three different regions in the country (Tanzania), and a global online learning community about working with street children. For now, we especially use (have started using) IdeaNote to simplify idea collection and evaluation across our three Amani locations. It is a relatively simple way to start collecting ideas, and to then process them together. It can be used nicely in a partially online and partially in-person environment --- moving from one to the other, as suited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ideanote?

It simply helps us to gather ideas, both internally and from customers. We are able to bring more innovation into our company and create new products and map this process. I find the AI integration really helpful, which I really wouldn't have thought.

It's really easy to use and doesn't need an expensive implementation. We now work with Ideanote on a daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ideanote?

We use special software that cannot be integrated (easily and cheaply). It would be nice to get a few more AI credits each month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ideanote solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having all feedback and ideas in one place and then being able to process and track them from there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ideanote?

I've been looking for a tool as customizable as ideanote for a long time. What makes it unique is that agencies can use it to share individual boards with their clients so they can share ideas and track the progress of their deliverables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ideanote?

So far. Absolutely Nothing. Everything flows perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ideanote solving and how is that benefiting you?

Other tools, such as canny.io, don't easily allow creating and sharing boards with specific groups of people (e.g., clients), or you have to pay extra and a lot more for that. Ideanote does that perfectly and you can also automate the creation of sections/boards via API which makes things even more interesting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
