What do you like best about ThoughtFarmer?

The best part of this process was how the ThoughtFarmer team held our hands through every phase. I also really appreciated how quickly they responded to questions. For me personally, it was one of my best experiences with a vendor! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThoughtFarmer?

There are a few things that I wish were more customizable but I have found that we are able to create work arounds to accomplish most of our goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ThoughtFarmer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our team used multiple forms of communication and things would get easily lost in the shuffle. ThoughtFarmer has helped us streamline to a single hub for our corporate communications. We have also been able to centralize documentation and resources. This is a huge win for our organization! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are able to ensure staff are following specific pages so they are aware of updates/new posts. The mandatory follow feature has made managing this much easier with user groups.

What do you like best about ThoughtFarmer?

We are early users of Thoughtfarmer, as we're a couple of weeks into implementation. Everything thus far from the experience with our AE to the handoff to our proejct team was smooth, and the individuals we've worked with have been helpful, thorough and kind.

What do you like best about ThoughtFarmer?

ThoughtFarmer was a great partner. The were very responsive, knowledgeable and easy to work with. They worked with us to make our vision a reality and they made it fun too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThoughtFarmer?

Felt like we could have used a bit more direction in training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ThoughtFarmer solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have not had an intranet before. We were doing most of our communication through email and a private records drive. We had nothing that was collaborative and a one-stop-shop for employee communicationg and engagement. We went live with our Intranet in early September and so far things are great!

What do you like best about ThoughtFarmer?

Gives us - the Employee Communications team - a lot of control and flexibility over the intranet that we didn't have with Sharepoint. We can add pages, add sections, restructure the site, enable features - all without the involvement of a specialized IT person. Love that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThoughtFarmer?

The analytics site takes some getting used to and there are some thing we wish we could measure more easily than is possible with the site. However, our Customer Care contact is always available to answer our questions about what is possible with the site so that's really helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ThoughtFarmer solving and how is that benefiting you?

I had inherited a Sharepoint-based intranet when I started in my role and felt very boxed in with it. There was more we wanted to do with it, more features we wanted to explore, changes we wanted to make to make the site more interactive - but all this could only be done with the help of a Sharepoint specialist. The Thoughtfarmer intranet automatically came with a lot more interactive and intuitive features (comments/likes, communities, forums, etc) and gives us so much flexibility to make things how we want them. It's nice to see people interacting with our content, and since this is so much easier to use than Sharepoint, it's allowed us to empower more teams to own and manage their own content.

What do you like best about ThoughtFarmer?

Flexibility for a decentralized model, mobile capabilities, scalable and adaptable. Intuitive to design and customize pages (which optimize wonderfully for mobile). Configured and custom cards allow for creative and outside-the-box solutions that foster engagement and innovation and facilitate ease of use. On a related note, ThoughtFarmer support has been outstanding pre- and post-implementation. We genuinely feel that our needs and requirements are taken seriously with every effort made to accommodate. As a ThoughtFarmer customer for over ten years, functionality and service drove our decision to retain ThoughtFarmer as our intranet provider as we recently upgraded and modernized our intranet platform. We looked at many providers and for the reasons above ThoughtFarmer was the successful solution chosen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ThoughtFarmer?

Overall we are satisfied with ThoughtFarmer; however, we feel core functionality such as auto archiving should be given a higher priority for enhancement. ThoughtFarmer analytics appears to be cumbersome and not intuitive (perhaps this will change once we gain experience with it). Administration security seems to be all or nothing; more flexibility with security roles would be an asset, especially in a decentralized model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ThoughtFarmer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Internal communications are the main benefit of our ThoughtFarmer solution. This includes mobile capabilities that give employees access to information anytime, anywhere, any place. This is particularly important as a large number of our employees work offsite or are field workers. All employees can now receive valuable information in a timely manner. Other capabilities, such as broadcasting and required reading which can be targeted to specific employee groups, will enhance our communication strategy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
