As one
of the great intranet software, Jostle has always helped me in staying
connected with the team members from different departments. The app makes me
feel so much at ease because I know what is happening in all the departments
and if everything is going in the right direction or not. My recommendation is
that this software is very appropriate for growing businesses where people are
not aware of their surroundings and their colleagues' work status. Jostle will
send them notifications on emails whenever they need to be updated regarding
any specific thing that is why I highly recommend this application.

Cons
  • Jostle has many advantages but there are certain disadvantages that need to be catered to in order to make the entire experience smooth and good. I think that the dashboard is not well designed. I feel like I have to go through a lot of navigation panels to find the right information. It takes too much time sometimes.
  • Another con in my opinion is that the library of Jostle needs a lot of customization and a lot of features have to be added to easily make other things accessible.

Usability
It's a wonderful product that can be used from a computer or from the ease of an app on your phone. I love that my team can have access to Job Aids from their phones while working out in the field. I have not personally had any issues while using Jostle and I highly recommend it for your business.

Alternatives Considered
Our company used to have a Wall of Wow but it was mostly to just congratulate team members on milestones. Jostle allows you to connect with others members on your team and throughout your company as well as being able to post important bulletins, ensure access to quick links, and the ability to have Job Aids and resources available in the Library.

Return on Investment
  • Another main feature that I like the most is their Activity Feed feature, it helps our employees to stay connected with each other easily without any restriction of location.
  • The search bar is helping to manage the breeze easily. I have been very much impressed by their support staff.
