User Testimonials
	Igloo	Sparrow Connected
Likelihood to Recommend	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	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	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. Incentivized Vinicius Lima Computer Technician Read full review	No answers on this topic
