User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Hivebrite is a great platform if you and your team do not want to manage a custom-built website - which can be both time-consuming and costly. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Igloo is really great for giving your organization access to the latest version of documents and templates. It's also great for organizing and versioning shared resources. It can also be customized for your organization in terms of sections, page layout, color scheme, branding, etc. It's not so great for search or for offline use. Overall I'd highly recommend it.

Pros	Fast responding customer service with enthusiastic willingness to solve your tech problems. Continual upgrades to platform's UX/UI. Comprehensive support resources and articles. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Igloo gives you great customization abilities and really fits the need for small communication bursts to important company-wide announcements — when their UI was not getting in the way. Igloo offers a lot of "bells and whistles" if you need them. But it was hard for these small, nonessential elements to not get in the way of the overall purpose of its use. Their sales team was spectacular. But their implementation team was hit or miss. Only one or two people I was able to connect with were both knowledgeable and quickly responsive.

Cons	LMS - It would be great if native learning management system functions could be added to the platform. 1:1 Conversations - the private messaging feature could definitely be improved upon. Language integration - being able to translate comments and conversations on the platform would be helpful to our global audience. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Pricing can lead to high costs. Users without CSS knowledge may have a hard time to customize themes. Maybe more graphical options to change layouts would be nice. NO SSO and LDAP authentication methods available in the basic version. Languages support in the basic version.
