Beekeeper - a good tool for fast and easy communication
We are a Consulting Company: - We use Beekeeper mainly for our sales process (Lead Management) - Fast Information to all colleagues in the case of a request of a customer - Everybody is informed and has the opportunity to contribute with ideas or support in establishing offers for the customer - We use Beekeeper for general information for all employees (no need for an intranet anymore) - we dramatically reduced the amount of e-mails to inform the team or request support for the proposal process - As most people are used to communicate with WA - there is no need to train the people with Beekeeper, because it is extremly easy to use
PROS+ Easy tool (like WA) for employees travelling and working at different location. + Easy to use + Reduces amount of e-mails needed
CONS- there are no major issues with Beekeeper
Vendor Response
Dear Thomas, thank you for your detailed review. It's exciting for us to see our customers use Beekeeper in innovative ways and we are happy that our tool has made fast and direct communication possible for you!

A wonderful small business solution
Our overall experience has been overwhelmingly positive, and our business is better for having it. It's so much better than emails, texts, or other similar systems. The cost is on point, and the value is wonderful.
PROSCommunication is now easier than ever. We (like many others) were using text messages as our main form of communication, which quickly spun out of control when other employees were replying or using a "tapback" response. After 1,000 or so messages (probably a slight exaggeration), you can expect people to stop looking at their phones and communication goes down the drain. This platform allows us to communicate with our employees in a way that is familiar, fun, and positive for everyone involved.
CONSThere were some hiccups with the onboarding, and some features (like the PTO form) require integrating a separate service (which brings additional costs). If you're into web development, though, their API is robust and very useful.
Reason for choosing Beekeeper
Campaign feature and price

Thank you for your review and happy to hear you are so positive about Beekeeper!

Weird thing at work
Not a fan of it but work had us sign up for it and can't login anymore.
PROSWe have this at my job and it works for what they want to use it for. Sending all sorts of info through it.
CONSA pain to login and don't forget your info or it's a real bad time trying to get back into it. Wouldn't use it.

Great communication tool
We have a very open content policy: Posts need to be related to work (somehow). Therefore a lot of posts are from team events, trainings, get-togethers. Everybody likes that and it contributes to a positive working atmosphere and team spirit. Beekeeper is absolutely accepted as an internal communications tool (used by 96 % of all employees). This overall acceptance is the reason why important, work-related content (breefings, news from the different locations etc.) work so fine with Beekeeper.
PROSIt only needs a handful of active people to post and they pull everybody else along. Even those who said they would never make use of it, start liking and commenting posts and even write their own posts after a short while. Beekeeper is a great and fun tool to connect with colleagues, share information, and communicate directly via chat. Beekeeper is easy to install and does not need a lot of explanation.
CONSThe desktop version could have some more editing tools for posts (emojis, bold text, picture resize).
Vendor Response
Thank you very much for your review! It's exciting to hear about the successful implementation and we are happy to see where the future brings us on our journey together.

Easy to keep everyone in the know
Overall I'm very pleased with Beekeeper and how easy it is to use and how well it has been received by my team and by all of our store departments.
PROSI like that Beekeeper helps keep all of our various departments on the same page about a variety of topics, as well as making it easy for them to share more light-hearted content and kudos to each other.
CONSI wish Beekeeper could sync with Asana or some other task management software, or at the very least have the ability to flag messages, as in my communications I often come across a task that I'll need to remember and complete, but once the message is read, it's hard to find that reference again.

How to reach the communitiy
We started just half a year ago. Our goal is to know all employees on board and to be "in time" with all important business-Information without gaps. We would then like to use it for surveys and campaigns more than today, for short communication and of course, for giving opportunities for personal or private exchange. It suppose to support our employer brand.
PROSWe like most the possibility to reach our whole community throughout several chanels and devices. We all work at the same place, but all the different schedules and working times makes the complete communication very hard. The webbades software and the app match the needs of these days.
CONSKnowing other social plattforms (Facebook, Twitter a.s.o.) one misses some features that are not given in this software (for ex. not only "likes", but "don't likes" or "frownies"). You automatically compare the products of social media.

Love using Beekeeper
I really enjoy using Beekeeper. Over time, our company continues to see increases in engagement. It's given us a nice platform to be more creative in our employee engagement opportunities and allowed us to communicate easier. We've added fun projects to keep engagement on Beekeeper high so that our company continues to use it. It's a great tool for both employee engagement and communication.
PROSWidespread and on-the-go communication, user friendly, personalized to your company
CONSI had an issue just once with uploading a big mp4 file even as an Admin (2GB is allowed). It is currently being reviewed. But otherwise, I am very satisfied with it.

PROSUsability! No training needed, absolute easy to use (every employee likes working with it immediately!)

Super app with easy and fast ways to communicate
- Improvement of internal and interdepartmental communication - Fast communication - We were able to stop using private apps (such as WhatsApp) for business content
PROS- Easy to use - Many ways of communication within the app - The use of labels to find messages
CONS- That there ist no possibility to insert pictures in the comments - It would be great if there was an internal calendar (for example, as a separate stream) on which each Beekeeper user could access and even appoint appointments.

Great tool, Beekeeper Review
The application could include tool as live video or an option for video calls within the chat. In addition, integrating metrics where the administrator could do a better monitoring of the performance of the platform.
PROSExcellent application, the platform is easy to use and intuitive for the user. Is close to known platforms which makes it very effective. Good internal communication tool that has helped to establish a multidirectional communication within the company. Also, the customer service provided by the costumer success manager has been pretty good, and they are always available to solve any doubt or inconvenient.
CONSVery good as far as user concerned, but from the manager’s point of view there are metrics whose function is unknown.

Communication Gamechanger!
I really pushed for this product at our company since communication was always an issue. Only about 25% of our staff had daily PC access so by being phone based, super easy to use and login this product has really taken off. There were some naysayers at the beginning but especially after our experience with Covid this is one of our most important tools at the company. Beyond the obvious functions you might see in the demo there are a multitude of other applications. We have used Beekeeper in some really creative ways to fit our objectives, especially since you can use links in the program which really allow most staff to just use BK as their main hub.
PROSIntuitive for end-user, easy to setup, so many different applications it can be used for, company is constantly updating and improving the app. Great for top-down and bottom-up communication. Engages employees and unifies multiple locations to feel more like one company. Great analytics on back end. We signed up right before Covid and it ended up being an invaluable tool for quick communication, keeping in touch with employees who were laid off and getting out important updates in a fast changing environment. Can't stress enough how easy it is to onboard staff across multiple properties with different tech skills levels, languages, backgrounds etc. Anyone that has used FB or sent a text message can use this platform.
CONSVery few complaints about this product. My biggest one would be the Forms module they offer. While the forms themselves function and look nice there is really no back end built out so you end up having to export to Excel or use Zapier which can get expensive if moving volume, for example having 1000 people fill out a Covid pre-screening form everyday. We basically just use a MS Forms link under the Navigation Extensions which is a good workaround and gives us the dynamic data rendering we need.
Reason for choosing Beekeeper
Ease of use for front-line workers.
