Pros:

The first-level support by Franzi also works like a charm.

Successful implementation of trends radars within one year

5.0 7 months ago

Pros:

I appreciate the professional and timely support of Itonics, recommendations are based on the experience of Itonics and the exchange of ideas regarding the further development of the tool

Cons:

I miss the possibility to create nice plots for presentation in the tool, e.g. from the radars or a nice representation of the trends in the Martrix. Furthermore, I would like to see a simple and beautiful representation of the results in the network graph.

My tool of choice!

4.0 12 months ago

Comments: In general very good, especially customer service / client relationship.

Pros:

Itonics depicts the whole innovation process drom the first weak trends/signals to innovation fields, opportunities and cases. Everything is in one place - we call it the single source of truth.

Cons:

I‘m missing a button on an entity page back to the entity overview. F.e.: I‘m looking at a single trend and would like to go back to the trends overview page. Now i have to go to the menu and click on „trends“, which leads me to the top of the list - even though I was looking at trends located in the middle of the list.Plus, once you know how to handle the backend of the tool, it‘s not that hard to make changes. But if you don‘t use it regularly, it‘s quite hard to find what you are looking for.

Would choose again

4.0 11 months ago

Pros:

The platform is highly customizable. The options are many, the functions in most cases good and well thought out. The platform really enables us to work with different people on many different topics. Especially the customer service is a huge plus. Salome and Matthias are a big help in making our use-case as good as possible. They are very invested and interested in our success. The first-level support by Franzi also works like a charm.

Cons:

Sometimes the features are not consistent. The translations to DE and FR still need improvement. The platform could be further optimized for mobile use.

highly recommended tool in the context of innovation

5.0 7 months ago

Comments: The tool is a real help in everyday work. The cooperation is based on partnership and our wishes are implemented very quickly whenever possible.

Pros:

The application and presentation of the required content is very good. ITONICS helps a lot in everyday life as well as in the presentation of the portfolio. In addition, the interaction with the employees (including support) is great. Also the opportunities to change something is simple und the change requests are done very fast.

Nothing worth mentioning. Every Tool has it's limits, but there is nothing that bad, that i would it call as cons

Itonics as a collaborative innovation tool

4.0 11 months ago

Comments: Itonics offer a strong team to work with, a core product that can be versatile and relatively straightforward to set up, and a platform which can enable programme processes.

Pros:

The set up, configuration and collaborative features have been integral to our programme over the last two years. The import and export features are very efficient too.

Cons:

There are significant features gap in relation to the visualisation of signals and ability to generate insights from the platform. Also, the pricing model can be confusing (modules move in and out of the core each year) and could be simplified.
