BloomfireHugo - Meeting Notes Software
Likelihood to Recommend
I think Bloomfire is most appropriate in a medium to large business entity since onboarding can be difficult without an organized tool to prioritize job functions. It would be most well suited for positions that incorporate data analytics/reporting and consist of regular deliverables. So for example: if an accountant wants to learn how to compile a cash flow statement but also has to turn it into a client-facing presentation, there are resources specific to internal accounting and then separate resources (also in the accounting vertical) for data visualizations and client reporting.

Using Hugo - Meeting Notes Software during a conference or any other meeting is highly recommended because of its outstanding note-taking abilities. Organizing a conference has never been easier thanks to this application. When compared to other note-taking software options, this one is less priced and requires no ongoing maintenance after installation. It aids in data security by having an autosave button and backup storage.

Pros
  • Quickly reach out to whatever employee segment you want to reach by posting a topic and it will send a notification to everyone in that group with a link to the posting.
  • Bloomfire saves all of the previous posts so in your free time you can go to the site, and explore the various range of topics others have posted. The information on there will only be as good as the person posting it, but it will be people within your company and industry posting it. So it will always be helpful.
  • Bloomfire is a place to be noticed by your peers. Have a great topic you want to express, my company allows all to post there as long as we keep it professional. So you can share your ideas or experiences in a safe and productive manner. But we do have some fun on there too!

I am with a different employer now days where training is not part of my job description. If I ever found myself doing E-Learning again, Bloomfire would be the first interface I would recommend.

Usability
Bloomfire is an easy-to-use platform for posting information and asking questions of my peers. It also has a user-friendly search capability. Yet like any other CMS, the secret to success rests in such items as the ability to use metadata to tag content or posts, and Bloomfire provides a wide range of options to make posting content and subsequently searching for it.

Support Rating
I have not needed to pose questions to the support team yet, as it is a very simple piece of software to use, however, its help documents and the bot ready to answer questions let me know I am in good hands. The help center could load a little quicker, but that's my only complaint.

OneNote is just classic - people who have been using it will never consider switching to a newcomer like Hugo. One limitation that OneNote has though which Hugo might be able to play to its advantage is - high barriers to the entrance for new users. It's not exactly intuitive to navigate at first if you have never used it before, hence you should be targeting those users instead of chasing users loyal to OneNote.
