Thinking together about innovation made easy

Very affordable, intuitive tool that enables communication across departments and locations, with images and text supporting each other. A tool that is very convenient for all users ( the employee, the community manager, the client) to work with. Submitting an idea, evaluating and reading an idea, initiating interaction and getting the overview are all perfcet provided in the tool.

PROS

The ease with which the tool can be implemented on my clients' internal communication tools. The ease with which I can do my job as community manager.The overview and reporting provided at the conclusion of the call.The intuitive way of working with the tool, which makes it very easy for anyone to use all the features of Yambal to submit an idea, read and review other ideas.

CONS

I have had no negative experiences so far when using Yambla

Admin & User-Friendly Ideation Platform

Yambla allowed to take a bottom up approach to improving our business. Users have a voice with the product that might otherwise not be heard. We met with the management team monthly to review all the ideas submitted that also met certain support criteria. Those ideas we would implement. Tracking everything in Yambla was easy as well.

PROS

Yambla is a great product and we looked at quite a few competitors before going with Yambla. We like the ease of use out-of-the-box, with minimum configuration required. We were up and running in a few days. With other products there was a lot of implementation time that was required, and the products just had too many options. It was almost like implementing something like SharePoint. All we wanted to do was track ideas. So Yambla fit perfectly for us. From an employee perspective, they like getting recognized for their ideas. Also, for every implemented idea, we pay them a small amount. Implementing Yambla has been a great success. Also, Yambla supports single-sign-on, so the users would be able to access the platform instantly.

CONS

Nothing comes to mind. We never had any outages. Also the support team was excellent and would reach out to us promptly if I had questions.

Reason for choosing Yambla

Implementation time. The other products tried to be everything at the same time and required a lot of setup with a large implementation effort. We wanted a product that tracked ideas for us. Nothing else. Yambla is great because we were up and running within a few days. All I had to do was customize a few out-of-the-box workflows to make it fit our business.

Vendor Response

Transparency to the innovation process

We have been satisfied with the tool and all of our customer specific configurations were deployed smoothly. Yambla has had a positive contribution in making our innovation process transparent.

PROS

Everyone is able to share an idea, you can create different kind of challenges, you can easily see the status of your ideas, and you will get very good support from the Yambla contact person

CONS

Some users say the UI is a little bit cluttered (too many features maybe).

Vendor Response

It is important to only enable what makes sense within your approach so users have an as smooth experience as possible.

Among the ideas management tools, there is Yambla

Yambla is used in our company to amplify collaborative innovation, by encouraging employees, across all departments, to think about many challenges, both in terms of operational excellence and the development of new products and services. Through competitions, we mobilize employees, allowing them to give free rein to their creativity, while ensuring consistency with the desired strategic objectives.

PROS

- Rigorous structure and principles, but consistent and easy to use - Complete management of the life cycle of ideas (from genesis to death). - Strong in community engagement. - Reliable tool

CONS

- Analytics may be too limited in some cases. - For a business administrator, Yambla must be "practiced" in order to be able to use it to its full potential; it is not always self-explanatory

Vendor Response

Hi Marie, Thanks so much for your feedback! We're really glad that our platform has positively impacted the business. We are pushing out updates soon to improve both analytics and the administration part of the platform. Stay tuned! Thanks again for the review and for being such a great customer.

State of the art, easy to use and highly customizable innovation platform

We use Yambla mainly to collect the best ideas and find the most fitting candidates for our innovation programs. All suiting candidates for our programs get access to the platform and can upload new ideas for the program or staff themselves on other existing teams. We can manage this whole process, can rate every idea and manually give feedback to every team. Through Yambla, we can integrate the candidates perfectly in our recruiting process. It is now in their hands - they can find their suiting team for the program and upload as many ideas as they want. This not just saves us a lot of time, it as well improves the quality of ideas and teams a lot.

PROS

What I most like about the Yambla platform is the possibility to highly customize the platform for every event. We already used it for completely different purposes, but with the opportunity to choose every ideation process step manually for every occasion, we could create precisely the ideation/collaboration surrounding that has fit most to our needs. What also has have to be mentioned is the excellent customer support. Especially in the setup phase, we had to implement a lot of customized features, but the support always finished in time and with extra help.

CONS

A few basic features like an integrated tutorial for new users are still missing (but I know that the team is already working on it).

Vendor Response

Hi Timon, Wow, we are blown away by your positive words! It's fantastic to hear that you've been able to leverage the flexibility of the platform to support your different program needs. Products that require tutorials are bad products! All jokes aside, some extra guidance for new users would be welcome, and we are working on making that happen. Stay tuned! Thanks again for your positive words and for writing such a detailed review.
