I Wish We'd Found ThoughtFarmer Sooner!

The team was great from start to finish, specifically [sensitive content hidden]. I didn't have much interaction with the implementation team, only because of my schedule, but our transition to ThoughtFarmer was almost seamless! They've already made compliments on how we laid out the platform for our use, and have recommended we submit our site for a competition that they hold!

Functionality

Pros:

We'd spent over a year researching and trying to find an intranet platform that would working for us. We had several meetings and almost moved forward with a product that we eventually found would not work for us - anything that we would need or utilized on the platform we were using, would be an additional cost. Eventually we landed on ThoughtFarmer, and they were everything that we were looking for, with the addition of being similar to what we were paying our previous supplier. Also, we are a smaller to mid-sized company. A lot of the intranet platforms we looked into are much more aligned with larger corporate structures, where they have made it impossible for "the little guys" to even be able to consider them. The more you needed from their platform, the more it would cost you. ThoughtFarmer was more, "These are features that we share with all of our customers, under one price!" What a dream!

Cons:

The only thing(s) that I can think of are small nuances. We are a very socially company, even through email and DM's, so a lot of us like using GIFs and the occasional video. You can bring these into your intranet, but it's not throughout the platform, only in certain areas.

Reasons for switching to ThoughtFarmer

The functionality was outdated, the search function never worked, and customer support was never really there.

Loyal Customer for past 8 years!

We have been using ThoughtFarmer in two instances since 2017 and have recommended it to many companies and law firms in the GTA due to the value for money, services and out-of-the box ease of use.

Pros:

Excellent service, price and the interface is pretty user friendly. Our firm is very engaged with the content throughout the site.

Cons:

Administrative rights could use more tweaking and broken down a bit more by section vs role. We have too many super admins due to how they need to administer certain aspects of our interanet.

Reasons for choosing ThoughtFarmer

Pricing was lower than competitors plus we were offered a discount for our 2nd instance, EN/FR toggle and being able to force MTL users to their FR interface every 24 hours, interactive maps, localized interfaces for our 3 firm offices (securing content for the specific office eyes), compatible file sharing i.e. from our DMS to intranet was extremely important to link to documents while respecting ethical walls or restrictions, could host our most valuable external links i.e. main enterprise search, cloud based hosting, calendar capabilities, blogging, archive stale content (manually or set a date), analytics/reporting were very impressive re details, drag-and-drop cards and customizations were very important, being able to have our firm standard fonts/styles and visual identity across our intranet including logos.

Reasons for switching to ThoughtFarmer

It was approx. 16 years old, had a lot of limitations and not dynamic. Very static.

Great product!

We have had so many changes within our company not just in staff but direction and overall priorities, so pivoting has been important for us and whenever I bring ideas to bring each vision to life I have had to call support for assistance and have really created some great relationships. Their goal is to help you succeed and look good and I always appreciate their efforts and support.

Pros:

Ease of use and seamless integration and great customer support. Whenever I call support they take the time to understand our unique requirements and tailor a solution that perfectly suited our needs. They have always been responsive, proactive, and attentive to our concerns. Any issues or questions we've had were promptly addressed, ensuring minimal disruption to our day-to-day operations. It's reassuring to know that we have their support whenever we need it.

Cons:

Limited customization options. Some of out departments may wish for more flexibility in customizing their department page's appearance or features to better align with each department's unique needs and branding. This may be more of an us issue rather than Thoughtfarmer, but we've brought some ideas to the table that weren't able to come to life due to limited options.

Check ThoughtFarmer out for your next intranet!

Working with ThoughtFarmer was truly exceptional! They built a plan/timeline with us at the beginning and made sure we stuck to it. Their customer success team was very helpful and ensured we had the tools and training needed to succeed. We put in the work, but they successfully kept us on track.

Pros:

Although some dislikes are mentioned below, overall we LOVE our new ThoughtFarmer intranet!!! The experience was wonderful, we got a great intranet, and saved money in the process! The base rate for ThoughtFarmer was cheaper than our current intranet by a substantial amount (including adding a significant amount of new users). There are additional add-on features that can be purchased. These are not necessary for a functional/organized intranet, but there are some cool options for reasonable prices. I love that every resource has a home and the robust navigation options. I also really like that editing/admin functions all live within the same site, as opposed to going to a different site. They have SO MANY features that are very flexible and customizable. It takes some work to get set up, optimize settings, and migrate content, but it's worth it! One of our major organizational goals with the new intranet was cutting down on mass emails (emails to all staff announcing X), and this intranet will definitely help with that. The news feature is very customizable and there are options to make information front and center on the homepage.

Cons:

There are some specific features that are to be desired our new intranet, but we are still ahead of where we were with our previous platform. Some of the features desired (these may be included in future updates): *Major limitation* External links are not searchable, and there's no 'broken link report' to see which external links may not work. As a credit union, we have a good amount of external links. I also want to mention that all of these points have been relayed with ThoughtFarmer, and may be part of future feature updates. They've been very good about working in our feedback where possible. Forms - To get a notification for a comment on the form, the commenter has to tag you. In theory that's a small step, however it's not something our staff has gotten the hang of yet. Also it would be helpful to add comments to forms. Content editing - If a page is in 'draft mode' it doesn't exist at all. Ideally, there would be a live/published version along with the draft version. Additionally, there could be a permissions setting where a user can update content, but it needs to be routed for approval by someone else before publishing. There is a way to manually set a collaborator, but there's a very real possibility this can be bypassed.

Reasons for choosing ThoughtFarmer

Cost and possibility of a chatbot in the future. We are beginning beta testing for the chatbot this week!

Reasons for switching to ThoughtFarmer

We were using two separate intranet platforms (Engageware & Simplify IT) at two separate credit unions, but we were going through a merger and decided a fresh start would be appropriate. I'm so glad we made this decision - ThoughtFarmer is so much better than either of these!

Pros:

The exceptionally intuitive, easy to use platform, and the incredible client service. The easy to use platform meant I didn't have to spend so much time training people, and has naturally supported use and adoption.

Cons:

They have quite extensive functionality, which is great, but also means there's quite a learning curve to learn all the things you can do. Also, they are in Canada, so client service is not aligned to EU timezone. That hasn't posed a challenge yet though, they are extremely responsive.

Reasons for switching to ThoughtFarmer

Because ThoughtFarmer had way better functionality and was way easier to use. More fit for purpose (as an intranet), and we had the budget
