Our tool is branded Ignite and it enables every colleague to impact T&F by suggesting ideas that we test, trial, and ultimately use to advance and grow our business. One of the most critical drivers of innovation within our organization is our people, and there is no shortage of new, creative, and unique ideas throughout Advanced Learning. Sideways6 has provided the channel for this business-critical initiative. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The most impactful feature is Sideways6's seamless integration with Microsoft Teams. It was vital for me to find a product that was easy to use and that would meet colleagues where they are already collaborating. #### Cons I am very pleased with how Sideways6 considers feedback and the transparency of its roadmaps for future enhancements and functionality. My only challenge is working with digital banners when creating the campaigns. Sometimes you need to play with the dimensions, but this is a minor inconvenience easily resolved. #### Reasons for choosing Sideways 6 Easy integration, excellent user interface, and, most importantly, the consulting services and expertise of the team. #### Vendor response Thank you for your review Michelle. It makes a world of difference to our work to hear that our product is being utilized with impact and we know from working with you how deep the integration goes with your teams.

Replied February 2023 --- ### Unique employees with a growing platform! - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Sam C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Consumer Electronics - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: March 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. Very positive. Great Senior customer success manager, development team, the quarterly events are great, just want to see the platform enhancements happen quicker. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The employees of Sideways 6 are unique always willing to help and listen to the customers needs. #### Cons The product development team are fantastic, I wonder though if the teams needs to be larger to evolve the platform quicker. --- ### Good Idea Management platform - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Oscar G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food & Beverages - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We are happy with the platform although there is room for improvement on user interface, panel reviews and additional features such as the possibility to have a campaign website #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros The configuration of a campaign is easy and straightforward. It is also quite easy to create and update an online form. The reporting functionality is very useful Have a lot of flexibility to create required fields for the campaign. The configuration of rules is also quite flexible. #### Cons It would be very useful a better way to export the ideas out of the platform having a connection between the idea and the supporting files associated, at the moment it is imposible to correlate when exporting to a spreadsheet. The panel review panel it is not very intuitive to score the ideas and we need to host a session to help experts to go idea by idea. The scoring criteria could be improved. The possibility to have a website to describe a challenge in the same way you can create the form so it is not necessary to have another portal with the description of the challenges. The possibility to have a Write API to enter idea through an external form or interface (different to workplace or Sideways6 form) #### Reasons for choosing Sideways 6 Features vs. price --- ### Sideways 6 is so much more than an ideation platform - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Karen A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. One of the most impressive things about working with Sideways 6 has been how they 'walk the walk' of ideation and consult with their customers about what would make their products better. I have been invited to give loads of feedback on new features and my thoughts and ideas have been welcomed and even implemented! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Sideways 6 seamlessly integrates with Yammer and Teams and also has a Forms option. These different integrations mean that we can now reach more of our staff in more ways. We have used some of the features of Sideways 6 for things other than ideation including scheduling communications, creating a chat bot and monitoring sentiment scoring. #### Cons The platform looks very different to any of the other software that we use which has been intimidating for staff who are using it for reviews or being brought on board as admins #### Vendor response Thank you so much for your feedback and review Karen, it's incredibly useful and humbling to read that our product is landing so well and that you have noticed that your ideas have been taken on board. Product fir and customer feedback is absolutely front and centre to everything that we do, as you know. Much appreciated. Replied February 2023 --- ### Outstanding idea management and collaboration tool - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Amil H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food & Beverages - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The tool is very easy to configure and use throughout an innovation challenge. Sideways6 offers a great customer support during a process and updates. #### Cons Even if part of strategic meetings and product pipelines, it’s very difficult to get tailored features implemented #### Reasons for choosing Sideways 6 Complete Innovation Funnel #### Vendor response Thank you for your feedback and review Amil. Your comment on tailored features is really interesting. We'll definitely have a look at that. Glad you are finding the tool useful though and enjoying our support. Replied February 2023 --- ### Very useful product and great customer service - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Emma P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Utilities - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: February 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros The way the upfront workshops help you build a campaign tool that really works for your campaign. The integration to Microsoft Teams and PowerBi is excellent. It is easy to set up and manage campaigns. The automations are also very helpful. #### Cons Some of the customisation functionality is limited. Cannot save public views, changing custom fields can create problems, and the idea card is not editable in a public way. Also the communication function could be improved by enabling you to email anyone/or chat with anyone about the idea (not just the submitter) #### Vendor response Thank you for this review Emma. I'll pass on your thoughts on the limitation of the functionality to the product team for sure. Some really valuable insights there. Replied February 2023 --- ### Easy to use software with a great team backing it up - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ben M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. The software is good but the team behind it are great I've been working with the team for around two years now and nothing is too much trouble for them. They are all hard working, committed and willing to help at the drop of a hat. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The ability to stand up a campaign and then choose either "out of the box" or extremely high levels of customisation is a plus point. The opportunity to learn (with support) how to make complicated flows and chatbots and all of the different integrations methods are also plus points #### Cons If I really had to pick something, I'd say a desired feature would be for the Automations to be able to pick up on the fact we have more than one form integration on a single campaign --- ### Easy and effective - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Great analytics and insight, love the chatbot functionality too #### Cons I think the continuous improvement of the platform keeps it updated and fresh and has dealt with anything that isn't already great. --- ### Sideways 6 Review - Amey - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Paul P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Civil Engineering - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I took up the role as Springboard manager in October 2020 and overall i think the experience has been really positive but also a learning experience. I didn't appreciate the number of internal resources/ engagement that was required but employees at Sideways6 have always been supportive and try and help as best as possible. The customer Manager, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is always available to help with internal processes and shared examples from other customers that has helped me in my role. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Sideways 6 enables a workforce of over 16,000 people feel engaged and valued to contribute to the future look of the business. Ideas submitted in a central system also enables business units and accounts to share best practice to maximise the benefits on a new idea. #### Cons An area of improvement for Sideways would be the review functionality - simple features such as adding a filter option that enables filtering of business unit or subject i.e. HR ideas would result in it being more user friendly. --- ### Excellent for Ideas capture and employee engagement - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Roger M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Environmental Services - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: January 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We are still developing our ideas system so we are not fully functional but we have had excellent service from the Sideways6 team. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The software is easy and intuitive to use but the biggest benefit of working with Sideways 6 is the experience and enthusiasm of their team and the community of other users of their software that you can join. We have learned a great deal from the S6 customer success team and from other users and this has directly benefited our own implementation #### Cons Sideways 6 integrates well with Workplace, email and our website. You do have to add an @tag to deal with the access controls in Workplace but this is not a major issue. We do not have all our staff e-enabled so for these staff we have found more traditional ways of capturing ideas worked best - but we then found the S6 pipeline system was good for tracking ideas and providing feedback to the idea initiator --- Showing 1 - 10 of 20 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/innovation/sideways-6-profile/reviews/) ## Other Top Recommended Collaboration Software [Wrike](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/wrike-profile/) **4.4** (3039) Recently recommended **48** times [Smartsheet](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/smartsheet-profile/) **4.5** (3551) Recently recommended **43** times [Quickbase](https://www.softwareadvice.com/crm/quick-base-profile/) **4.4** (333) Recently recommended **14** times [Planisware Orchestra](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/planisware-orchestra-profile/) **4.2** (19) Recently recommended **10** times Stuck Between Options?
