Verified reviewer Management Consulting 2-10 employees Used daily for more than 2 years Review source Reviewed August 2019 State of the art ideation management software 5 I have been working with this software for the last 9 years in tens of projects in local and global organizations. the system supports a variety of processes, is highly adaptable and always "delivers" Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 5 Functionality Pros: professional, vast possibilities, easy to configure Cons: more content oriented than people oriented Read More GJ Gail J. Verified reviewer Automotive 10000+ employees Used daily for more than 2 years Reviewed June 2020 Qmarkets Idea Management- more important than ever to enable virtual collaboration 5 Qmarkets, through the support engineer they provide to us, is a rare vendor. 1) At the start-- They remain committed to helping you to realize the abilities of the software as your innovative culture grows along with it (or, grows INTO it!). Some of the features in their software (such as reporting and analytics) give you ideas of how the software can give your management insights about roadblocks to innovation, for example. 2) During your use-- Qmarkets does not let you down when trouble happens. If something happens you did not intend in the course of you using the software, Qmarkets engages quickly to help you to get things back to normal. 3) Future needs-- Qmarkets has a site where you can upload \*your\* ideas for features you would like to see in future releases in a specific, way-- inviting their other client companies to "vote up" your request. Qmarkets likes to invite customers to share best practices and will make time to give you previews about where future releases will provide. Ratings Breakdown 4 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 4 Functionality Pros: You don't have to have your innovation strategy completely thought-out before you can get immediate benefits from Qmarkets Idea Management. In face, the software helps you to powerfully engage collaboration among stakeholders and experts in growing a culture of innovation in your company. In this time of pandemic, with much of our engineering staff being a virtual workforce, I am glad we have this product to enable aggressive virtual collaboration-- including running campaigns for mitigating the effects of COVID-19 beyond Ford Motor Company to the general public. Cons: This is not a "con," more of an advisory that the software enables top-down and bottom-up engagement of vision (from the top) and needs/opportunities (from the bottom). It would be a palliative to expect Qmarkets software to create innovation-- it is a powerful tool for the implementation of a strategy for enabling innovation. Reasons for switching to Qmarkets The tipping point was the logjam of communication needs that built. Idea title, description, main author, date, and disposition were in a large Excel file. Supporting details about the ideas were stored on the SharePoint sites hyperlinked from the Excel file. Managing the permissions in the SharePoint sites to invite collaboration and managing the requests for notifications when information was updated became an unwieldy task. Nothing about this vital record-keeping invited engagement. Read More TM Tobias M. Verified reviewer Utilities 51-200 employees Used weekly for less than 2 years Review source Reviewed September 2021 Well crafted Idea Management Software for a competitive price 3 Qmarkets Idea Management helped us to cement innovation management as one of esolva's main pillars. The regular campaigns engage our staff and help foster a community. Ratings Breakdown 3 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 4 Functionality Pros: The software offers a high level aus automation which makes it much easier for campaign managers to do their job. Old ideas can easily be found again and new ideas are automatically compared to old ones which is a very convenient feature. Cons: From a management point of view it's not always obvious what the implications of some actions are. A better documentation for campaign managers would already go a long way. Lot's of features are there but a bit hidden. Reasons for switching to Qmarkets Pricing and size of our company. Read More AK Adam K. Verified reviewer Automotive 201-500 employees Used daily for less than 6 months Review source Reviewed March 2023 Great platform and superb customer support 5 Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 5 Functionality Pros: As administrator I like the amount of customization available in the platform. It is natural that the more customization, the more there is to learn about the platform but once you know what you need to, it supercharges what you can achieve through it. Our customer success manager is available to show us how to do something and share best practice. Having worked with and implemented several idea management platforms, this is my best experience to date. Integration was seamless with no issues. Great product. Cons: It is hard to point our anything that is missing at this price point. It is also too early on to say what might be missing - having run several campaigns already we have not identified any limitations and QMarkets is always keen to help or develop solutions to any issues or ideas we have. Reasons for choosing Qmarkets QMarkets response to our RFP was clear, detailed and gave us confidence in how the 'ever after' would work between us. They were flexible in how the platform could be set up and it was clear to us that customer success was at the heart of the value proposition. Vendor Response Thanks Adam! Thrilled to hear that you're having a great experience with the platform and our service. Long may it continue! Charlie (Qmarkets)   Replied April 2023 Read More GZ Giorgia Z.

Cons: i'd like to have more possibility to filter and categorize the different ideas Reasons for choosing Qmarkets yes, we choose qmarkets after a selection of different idea management tools Read More MR Monica R. Verified reviewer Machinery 10000+ employees Used weekly for more than 2 years Review source Reviewed April 2023 QIdeate - Powerful Platform for Open Innovation 4 QMarkets has been a very supportive vendor who cares about the results their customers get from their platform. They are also very accommodating for integrations and have had a lot of patience working with a large corporation going through changes which made our implementations harder and more time consuming to manage. Highly recommend their account management and customer service organizations. Ratings Breakdown 3 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 4 Functionality Pros: I like how configurable the backend is. Most platforms don't provide access to configuration tools, but QMarkets does. I haven't run into a use case or feature that hasn't been able to be supported by QIdeate. Cons: The UI for general users could be more intuitive and campaigns could be more feature rich with regard to things like campaign presentation as well as collaboration and team formation. QMarkets defines collaboration as commenting and voting whereas we view collaboration as working together to make ideas stronger. We would like to see more of the latter. Reasons for choosing Qmarkets Pricing, features, and backend management for customization of campaigns. Reasons for switching to Qmarkets Too expensive to continue to build out our own platform. Vendor Response Hi Monica! Thank you so much for your feedback. Your kind words about the Qmarkets team are greatly appreciated. Our account managers, customer success managers, and support teams all work together with one goal: ensuring your success and maximizing the benefits you and your innovation program get from the platform. Since partnering with Carrier several years ago, our platform has continued to evolve introducing new features, functionality, and UX often driven by customer feedback. One of our newest features in development is the virtual whiteboard. This feature will complement existing ones like private messaging, direct commenting, task assignment, join team, comment up-voting, etc. to help you build the collaborative team you depend on. Your CSM can demonstrate how they can be used in tandem and help you activate the relevant ones. Once again, thank you for your comments and your trust in Qmarkets. Charlie (Qmarkets) Replied April 2023 Read More RE Rotem E. Verified reviewer Research 51-200 employees Used weekly for more than 2 years Review source Reviewed June 2020 Versatile self-admin, extensive automation capabilities, and engaging UX/UI make Qmarkets an innovat 5 The team at Qmarkets went above and beyond to help us make sure our platform ticked all the right boxes. During our initial discussions with them, they were able to readily recommend the right platform setup that would help us meet our targets - and we’re still seeing brilliant results from it. Our experience working with the customer success team at Qmarkets has been wholly positive. Although the impressive self admin features have allowed us to make most of the necessary platform adjustments ourselves, we have always received prompt and reliable assistance from the Qmarkets team when we’ve needed it. All in all, the help and guidance we’ve received from Qmarkets has enabled us to maximize ROI from a diverse array of innovation initiatives. Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 5 Functionality Pros: Before implementing Qmarkets, we were using a pretty convoluted workflow to manage our global innovation pipeline. We were doubtful of finding a vendor that would be able to match our specific requirements. However, Qmarkets exceeded our expectations in every way and the support we received from their customer success team was top-notch. The software has excellent automation features, which enabled us to sort through and select the best ideas for our initiatives quickly and easily. We also found the high degree of configuration that the platform afforded incredibly useful, as it let us both adapt and improve the workflows of our organizational structure. Qmarkets’ software has really helped us drive incremental innovation and find new ways to make our internal operations more efficient. The extensive reporting capabilities are ideal for tracking the ROI we’ve gained from new projects, as well as monitoring how closely they meet our core KPIs. The Sonar tool is also super handy for spotting bottlenecks in the system and mapping out where the most profitable innovation activities can take place. Cons: Initially, we were concerned that a full-blown platform would be too much for our needs, especially such a feature-rich solution. However, we found that the Qmarkets offering addressed our needs very elegantly, allowing us to start out small and basic before gradually adding more functionality and complexity. This made our roll out a big success. Read More MP Melissa P. Verified reviewer Education Management 501-1000 employees Used weekly for less than 12 months Review source Reviewed May 2023 QMarkets at Durham College 4 The customer support pre-launch and post-deployment was top-notch. Our customer success manager was invested in our success and provided thoughtful and timely responses to our questions. Additionally, our employees loved being given a platform to share ideas and collaborate with the knowledge that ideas submitted were being reviewed by the leadership team. Here at Durham College, we view this project as a success because it created dialogue, encouraged collaboration, and inspired employee engagement!As for our lessons learned. Before deploying QMarkets, I would recommend you assess the readiness of your organizational culture, establish business processes on how ideas will be reviewed, and an ongoing communications strategy. Also, consider the resources required to moderate the site and process ideas. I would also recommend thinking through the use of gamification and incentives for participation and that you structure it to reward quality over the quantity of submissions. Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 4 Value for money 5 Customer support 4 Functionality Pros: The product was easy to use, intuitive and integrated well with our existing systems (system deployment was well-planned and seamless). Our employees were able to submit ideas and interact with colleagues' on the platform with minimal training. We also appreciated the in-platform tools for reporting and tracking the status of ideas. The customer support team was amazing and very responsive (thanks, \[sensitive content hidden\])! Cons: For us, the auto-generated newsletter did not deploy well and was not customizable without a product upgrade. Also, the inability to engage with news content was a draw back to building our innovation community (please implement a feature to upvote or comment on a news story). Vendor Response Hi Melissa Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts about the platform. Feedback like this is exactly what we need so that we can constantly improve. It's so great to hear that you consider the project a success and that you received great customer service. I've shared your feedback with the product team, including your comment about the newsletters and your suggestion to add more functionality to the news content, so we'll see what we can do to take your suggestions forward. Thanks again! Charlie (Qmarkets) Replied July 2023 Read More PT Peter T. Verified reviewer Automotive 1001-5000 employees Used weekly for less than 12 months Review source Reviewed May 2023 Qmarkets, Great Solution for Global Collaboration 5 We had a very successful engagement from our Global team and positive impact of using Q-Markets Ratings Breakdown 4 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 4 Functionality Pros: Qmarkets focuses all of the data in the site through workflow processes so it is all retained and easily managed. Taking a companies campaign for idea collection from a scattered mess of emails and slip sheets to a simple accessible process that will allow all to participate and be seen for their contribution. Cons: Some of the structures are not customizable to the way I would prefer. This is for good rational but there were cases I would have liked to organize items in a specific way, but could not. Reasons for choosing Qmarkets Best functionality for price. Great responsiveness of team. Vendor Response Hi Peter Thanks so much for your feedback and I'm delighted that you're pleased with the platform and the customer service you've been receiving! While we're proud of the amount of customization available on the platform, there is always room for improvement so thank you for flagging that you think we can do more in that area. I've passed on your message to your CSM and the product team. We value your input and encourage you to join our client community platform, where you can collaborate with hundreds of global innovation leaders to help shape our roadmap. We appreciate your support in helping us improve our platform!

Trying to create an innovation process, never came to an end, until we evaluated software for this purpose. Qmarkets Ideate allowed to centralize the innovation management very easy. Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 4 Functionality Pros: We like the predefined workflows and the transparency of the overall process very much. Configuration is easy and we can provide a great usability to all our employees. The support is excellent! Cons: We would like more campaign related flexibility in term defining forms. The translation tool could be much better. Auto translation is nice, but not 100% correctly. Qmarkets should design an easy to use overall reporting tool, because not all of our reporting needs are met.
