Pros

* Easy to use, engaging and slick user interface

* Great campaign management feature

* Massively configurable - we use smartcrowds for Idea Generation, Employee Engagement, Project Reviews and Incident Management

* The customisable notifications and email templates have made it really easy for us to keep staff abreast of all new content and change management initiatives.

* smartcrowds has a great in-built action assignment and tracking feature which means we don't need to track progress of green-lighted ideas in a separate application

* Great mobile responsive design which enables our teams to capture ideas on the go.

* The Facebook/LinkedIn style news Feed is a great feature - this has really helped our staff get up to speed with the system really quickly, and has driven high system interaction rates.

* Open innovation feature has been really useful for getting genuinely useful input from our customers

* The custom forms designer has proved to be a great feature - since we use the system for a number of different use cases, these have enabled us to ensure that staff are submitting the right information for effective assessments to be carried out.

* Out of the box Office 365 User Authentication was a real bonus for our IT team.

* The embedded PowerBI based reporting solution is incredibly fast and powerful, and provides a range of analytics and insights that I haven't seen elsewhere.

Cons

* Because there is so much functionality and customisation available in the system, it can take a bit of time for System Admins and Crowd Administrators to get up to speed - however the smartcrowds team did provide a great on-boarding and training experience which mitigated this to an extent.

* Some of the System Admin screens are not responsive yet, though the smartcrowds development team have advised that this work is planned in.

* The system and user documentation set is a bit long and daunting. Given the size and complexity of the system this is understandable, but it would be better if there was an on-line help system.
