Igloo is an intranet you'll actually like.
Edu- Vision 2020 is a small not-for-profit organization whose goal is to provide a computer based educational solution "school in a box" to primary teachers and their students who live in remote communities around the world. Igloo is a cost effective, budget friendly, collaboration solution for us - we are 10 to 15 people geographically dispersed.
PROSIgloo is “up and open” always, no matter the time or the time zone. Team members can collaborate and work on projects together, communicate in real time, and solve problems quickly and easily, even if they’re located on the other side of the world from one another and in different time zones. Streamline and organize - better work flow and less time spent of juggling multiple applications in different places. Multiple ways to communicate – Write it once and send it once, and distribute it to a select few or the many, easily, easy to follow visual email thread, Wikis, Forum. Broadcasts Saving time and productivity has increased, easy and fast to get started, tools we already know how to use, our knowledge repository is in one place, and searching and retrieving content is properly filed and organized. Real Time communication anytime to team members in Dubai or in Toronto Great Customer Service, very responsive company, easy to use product
CONSHoping they include "the ability to communicate and have face time" with our team within your own space in the near future.
Vendor Response
Thank you very much for this wonderful review of our product. We are glad to hear you are enjoying your Igloo experience. As for the ability to communicate and FaceTime with your team, while we do not offer videochats, you can most definitely set up "microblogs" (or dedicated social newsfeed) per team space where members of the same team can interact with each other. These feeds also allow for rich media (pictures, embedded videos, links, etc.). Hope this helps. Feel free to contact us for more information or to get help setting it up.

Best platform for building a team portal!
We are so thankful for Igloo helping us to create our staff portal! It's revolutionized how we conduct global interview events and how we resource multiple locations across the nation.
PROSThe personal consulting from Igloo and customization were key to helping our organization scale our intranet/portal. The app is super simple to use, and integrates our global calendars, events planning tools, and other resources so perfectly for our fast-paced environment!
CONSThe people directory feature is not quite as nimble as I imagined it'd be for an organization of 700+ employees. We have a somewhat unique structure and it's been challenging to figure out how to look up teams, leaders and locations effectively. It would also be great to be able to add contact cards directly to my mobile device from the directory feature.

Where is it?
I am excited about the idea of this site and use it daily but I am sure that there are many features that I could be utilizing more than the few I use currently.
PROSThe availability of information from all departments for our company.
CONSThere are no ntaifications when new posts are added for the different departments. I am also frustrated with the search feature and the non-existant date/time stamps. When researching past posts, I try to do keyward searches but nothing populates to suit my purpose. Also, when scrolling to "view more" I find it inconvenient notto see the actual date a post was made but rather "2 weeks ago" or "13 days ago". I am not liking the fact that I have to hunt through the different

Igloo surprises with organized integration features
At the beginning I had some doubts regarding the functionality and integration of the service within the organization, with its application I gained experience using the Intranet for professional purposes that I believe are intelligent and complete, these aspects of the service were slow but positive for the company and the professional community.
PROSIts most important feature is its ability to combine with other daily office apps, its ability to combine with Office 365 tools is exceptionally developed and can be accessed from Igloo seamlessly and in a way that makes the user able to manage all their work from a central platform that has the features and needs of the user and no more, you have quick access to important information, key people and work procedures.
CONSLike many Internet services and extensive add-ons, it has a large number of tools and resources that leave the user with no knowledge of the administration interface, which results in some problems at startup. The first use of this service was at the time of the presentation.

Fantastic Intrant Platform
Excellent from sales through to implementation and support.
PROSIgloo comes ready out of the box for you to use it. It contains the basic tools for you to get an intranet up and running quickly. The product contains "solutions" that you can plug in for many common business functions like Employee Onboarding, Company News, Department Site, Project Sites. There is no technical complexity to getting the software up and running, its all about communication and change management within your organization.
CONSThere isn't much not to like about this product. It deploys quickly and easily. If anything I would say that they could build out the integrations a bit more.
