Reviews of Idea Drop
A great platform with all of the basic functionality that a new ideation strategy needs.
Comments: Excellent engagement with employees, participation by team members and superb quality of discussions and ideas created as a result of implementation.
Pros:
Great customer support and communication from the IdeaDrop team. Software is simple and easy to use.
Cons:
Some of the filtering tools are a bit clumsy, but the team there is working diligently to upgrade them and I forsee some great changes in that department in the near future (bumping up my easy of use and functionality ratings in doing so!)
Idea Drop has transformed the way we collect and action ideas across our business
Comments: We quickly saw the benefits of Idea Drop as teams throughout the business began collaborating, communicating and sharing ideas in ways we hadn't seen before with our existing tech stack. Idea Drop's fresh interface and intuitive social features made it quick to onboard our teams and we now rely on it to capture, enrich and action new ideas across the business on an ongoing basis.
Pros:
Fast to onboard team members; very low training costs; highly intuitive design and user experience. The mobile apps are a big plus for us too as a number of our team members are rarely at their desk. Particularly like the status tool, which enables us to align our workflow with ideas and keep everyone in tune with what we're doing with the ideas they share. Cloaking is popular too enabling staff to hide their identities when sharing ideas.
Cons:
Would love to see wider integrations with other elements of our tech stack such as Slack and Office 365.
Microgaming
Comments: Positive experience and the staff are really helpful even after post launch. Turnaround on issues is resolved in good time
Pros:
Easy to use and fit for purpose. Optimized for mobile. The score system is great
Cons:
There are a few restrictions on reports, manually having to request monthly innovation score reports. Branding is restricted. Doesn't allow you to upload videos. You don't get notified every time a new idea comes through unless you follow that person, difficult with on a huge scale.

Dear Roxanne, Thank you so much for taking the time to submit a review. We are very glad to hear you enjoy using Idea Drop and that you find it well optimised for purpose which is to effectively drive innovation in Microgaming. Just wanted to clarify that even though we don't support native videos yet, it is possible to add Youtube and Vimeo videos to enrich your ideas and challenges. Thank you once again for your feedback. We are constantly improving our platform as well as adding new features. An improved reporting possibilities and notification system is already in our roadmap and will be available for you to use very soon. Best wishes, Idea Drop team
Mechanism
Comments: Amazed
Pros:
Design and customer service representative
Cons:
Takes far to long to get things accompanied
Great team and product. Worked hard to engage with us and win our trust.
Comments: Ability to gather ideas and opinions from a wide range of our user communities. Being able to 'cloak' ideas means that some of our more reluctant users can contribute without feeling too exposed.
Pros:
The solution is intuitive, well presented and can be picked up easily by users. We are currently in the pilot phase and found that all of our team could very quickly familiarise themselves with IdeaDrop. They were able to contribute ideas and discussion points very quickly.
Cons:
Cost of additional Consulting services could be more competitive. We would be keen to engage if the price was lower.
