FROM CONTRACTING EDISON365 TO INSTALLING OF THE SOLUTION IS SUCH AN EASY AND
TRANSPARENT PROCESS

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: Employee engagement for idea generation. This allows us to crowdsource
solutions that have business value.

Pros:

Software understands idea management and the team is passionate about providing
a solution that client needs that translate to value. Its so easy to configure
and install. Its great value for money. The user interface is fun and it
integrates functionally into Microsoft suite of products. The solution is easy
to use for employees and accessible on any mobile device. The CPS team is always
on call and available for user issues. The support is incredible and doesn cost
the client. The team is incredibly knowledgeable about their product and look
for ways to improve it to assist clients. It integrates into projects online to
be able to take ideas into initiatives. The software provides transparency and
easy to access on any mobile device without having to install an app. The
platform can be configured with company branding so it has look and feel of the
company. This is the most humble and practical software I have come across in
the industry. There no hidden costs .

Cons:

There only problem is uploading pictures under ideas as there is a pixel limit
that we hope the team will rectify soon .

INCREDIBLE VALUE FOR THE PRICE.

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Overall, this is a fantastic platform that is miles ahead (both in
price and features). I believe a review should point out the flaws and potential
short-comings of any product to help you make the best decision for your
organization, but I am extremely happy with the product, platform, customer
support, and ease of implementation.

Pros:

I appreciate the well-rounded approach to the platform. Once the back-end has
been set up (admins), it's very intuitive for users, making adoption much
easier. Most of the other options we demoed were strictly limited to idea
submission and organization - great from the basic user standpoint. Edison does
a much better job of thinking about how admins and challenge owners operate and
makes the back-end processes simple (walking an idea from submission through
execution). One stand-out function that is not available on many other platforms
is the ability to save an idea as a "draft." If you have an "aha moment" and
want to jot it down quickly, but don't have time to flesh it out immediately,
this is very helpful.

Cons:

It lacks the ability to turn categories on/off for different challenge types.
All categories are automatically available across the entire company. This can
be a problem if you have very different subject areas targeted by specific
challenges. Note that categories are a REQUIRED field to include in the build
for an idea submission, so this cannot even be turned completely off at the idea
submission level. The reporting functionality is great, but note that any custom
edits to the Edison Ideation platform, such as new fields for idea submission,
require custom editing of the template PowerBI report. It does not auto-update.
Adding the custom fields is not immediately intuitive if you are not already
familiar with PowerBI software. The triage feature is great, but limited.
Different metrics can be assigned to different challenge types, however, they
are accessible in every stage gate of the challenge and cannot be toggled on/off
for specific stage gates. This can be annoying if an idea is only meant to be
triaged in one stage gate, e.g., "review" vs. "awarded." The idea submission
form format cannot be edited (dimensions, orientation, text color, font, etc.),
limiting customization.

DESIGN FLEXIBILITY AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

4.0 last year

Pros:

Edison365 provides autonomy to our team to configure the platform to our needs
and workflow. The end user experience is fairly seamless, and user feedback has
been that it is much more intuitive and less clunky than our prior tool. The
integration with PowerBI and the reporting outputs have been extremely valuable
in providing a portfolio view of activities, as well as driving leadership
decisions based on team capacity.

Cons:

There are certain in-built configuration items that have caused some confusion
internally, based on our existing internal terminology (eg. BusinessCase as a
module). The lack of a weekly periodic table for project resourcing has also
been a pain point, and resulted in a clunky workaround for end users. Finally,
not all staff members have access to PowerBI, meaning there are approvals that
need to take place before users can be onboarded to view the outputs in our
Dashboards. An "Export" function within each module would go a long way to
resolving this.

Pros:

The UI of E365 suite is modern and intuitive. It allows to manage the ideation
phase and early stage of innovation easily - creating forms and templates for
various innovation goals. Configuration of each module is intuitive and follows
customers needs and diverse requirements. Helps to shape and understand the

Triage as a functionality for idea assessment is simple and precise.

Cons:

Managing a high volume of ideas from various challenges may be time-consuming
due to the manual process of assigning reviewers.
