Glasscubes Reviews

Glasscubes Intranet/CRM - What a find

Comments: Our experience with Glasscubes has been an extremely positive one since the moment I first spoke to Craig. He conducted two online presentations, which having sold software for 18 years, I think are some of the best I have had. Clear, concise, informative, in plain english and no hard sell (just let the product do the work for him!). The implementation and on-boarding process is both intuitive and straight forward with lots of support both from the team and from online content, which is excellent. Nothing is too much trouble for our primary contacts. Pound for pound, Glasscubes exceeds expectation and I can only imagine will get better and better. Yes there are improvements that can be made but their 'vote for new functionality' that clients can access will enable them to prioritise and gauge what to do next. We are a team of 13 and the overwhelming feedback has been really positive from the whole company and has made us far more collaborative, centralising all our work and creating a focal point for our company. I very much look forward to working with Glasscubes for many years to come and if they maintain their standards, they will become a real force in this market and a natural choice for small SMEs.

Pros:

- Easy of use - Breadth of Functionality - Amazing support - Great supporting documentation - Cross platform and device availability

Cons:

- would like to see smoother integration with MS Office suite (both on PC and Mac). I appreciate refinements to this process are ongoing. Working on a Mac, it this is slightly clunky but really not a deal breaker in anyway.

Straightforward

Comments: I am using it as a Board member so all documents are loaded in preparation for meetings.

Pros:

It is easy to move between documents and I get notifications when new files are added

Cons:

I would like to be able to create a link from a document to take me direct to another. It would be helpful to be able to add private notes, all comments are visible.

Simple, secure and accessible

Comments: Glasscubes is a simple to use and administer document management and collaboration portal. It provides easy web-based access to users regardless of location/domain, document version control and audit trail, and messaging between users to notify updates or prompt next action.

Pros:

We have used Glasscubes for over 2 years to manage our bid development and project documentation. The key features that work well for us are:- Web based access allows staff based across multiple locations to connect, including those working on remotes sites not connected to our domain- Version control, easy to download/upload documents and provides detailed audit trail of activity- Ability to message users to notify a document has been updated, or requires input - invaluable during fast paced bid development- Easy to administer - setting-up new workspaces, enabling/disabling user access etc. takes seconds

Cons:

With over 50 folders now, the list would be easier to navigate if displayed by group instead of a single list

Cheap and cheerful collaboration

Pros:

Ease of set-up and simple cost model. Sharing documents with suppliers is non chargeable license. Fast on boarding

Cons:

Poor versioning, real basic desktop UI, poor integration with mobile platforms

very practical software in team communication

Comments: this software has allowed me to better manage marketing, and also in team collaboration

Pros:

I use a lot more in marketing and in management and collaboration between colleagues. very easy to use in and well designed

Cons:

I don't encounter any problem with the software... for the moment I take advantage of its many services because this software has more advantages than disadvantages

A great tool for big organisations with different access levels

Pros:

- users and teams management is very efficient and helps keeping access rights up to date easily- growing number of functions

Cons:

-It takes a bit to become fully familiar with the all the functions.- Some functions should be native instead of add-ons- internal chat function missing

Easy to use

Comments: Makes keeping track of tasks very easy. Files and tasks can be accessed anywhere.

Pros:

Easy to use. Colleagues get notified instantly when a comment or new tasks has been added. You can upload any sort of file.

Cons:

Automatic task/job numbering would be a good benefit to add.

Game Changer

Pros:

Glasscubes simplifies work processes and keeps everyone in the loop with tasks. Tagging colleagues is easy (as is untagging when you don't need to be involved anymore) Email notifications keep everything up to date. it's incredibly easy to use and you can have workflows for different colleagues and/or departments. The platform admins are also open to dev ideas and we have had some changes implemented with ese to help our workflow. Would Definitely Recommend.

Cons:

no cons I can think. auto creation of job numbers would be nice.

Quick and easy to use

Pros:

Cuts the complication that comes with many other Portal websites - file uploads and downloads are fast and easy without the excess of data input required by some. Easy to navigate file structure and email notifications on updated drawings make finding and accessing updated information fast and simple

Cons:

No drawbacks - does exactly what it needs to do for my role and interaction with it.

Feedback on the use of Glasscubes in Project Management

Pros:

It creates a common platform for everyone involved in the project to keep track of documentation from all three African universities involved in the project.

Cons:

Understanding how to navigate your way was not necessarily instinctive at first.

Fantastic Programme

Comments: The key benefits is that all the documents we need to access and use can all be stored in one place for everyone to access. My life has been made simpler as I have just one place to go to find the information I need. I can also do this on-the-go which is ideal for me as I work away from the office most days.

Pros:

The programme is really easy to navigate and the functionality is simple to use. There is also a search facility which I find really useful. I also like the fact that you can communicate easily with colleagues via the message system or leave comments against files to inform others of any changes, etc. This is particularly useful if you work in a virtual network or team. There is also an app that you can download on your phone or tablet so you can access files on the move.

Cons:

The only downside I have found is that I need to download documents to edit and then re upload, but that is down to my institution not the programme itself. The system can be accessed on a desktop if you work for an institution which allows it.

A secure, reliable to allow you share and collaborate with a dispersed team

Comments: We are a dispersed team that work across across 130+ organisations. Glasscubes is a way that we can safely and securely store our documents and files and enable us to collaborate efficiently.
It is such a well thought out platform which, not only can users easily engage with but allows me as the manager to track version control on documents, see when staff have accessed material and track engagement with our partners.
The team at Glasscubes are also incredibly helpful, not only helping us iron out any issues but also taking on feedback as our use of Glasscubes increases. If you are working remotely and need a secure file sharing platform which also allows you to communicate easily with the team, I would highly recommend.

Pros:

Version control - being able to see who has edited what and when, and also being able to revert to previous copies. Gives us additional peace of mind when a collaborative partner accidentally overwrites something. The online editing and editing in real time is also really useful. The security of the site and easy it is to control who sees what. Just incredibly flexible. It's an incredibly reliable site.

Cons:

Difficulty to say, as the team has always been very receptive to us asking for work arounds or new features that prove popular.

Glasscubes; a great tool for sharing information and working together on projects

Comments: I started to use Glasscubes a few years ago when our team started working on projects with colleagues based around the UK. My first real experience was working on producing a short online course with colleagues in Manchester. Glasscubes made it so much easier for us to get feedback on content quickly and we didn't have to worry about version control as Glasscubes clearly shows you the history of who has accessed what and when. Everyone in the team could see the same information and we knew what we were all working on was the most current and up to date content. It definitely made life a lot easier for us.

Pros:

Things I like about Glasscubes: 1) Its easy to use 2) You can upload documents that multiple people can access 3) You can give specific people access to a project 4) You can access Glasscubes from anywhere 5) I can create my own task list to keep on top of my workload and others can also add to that task list 6) Glasscubes notifies you when someone has added to a project you are working on or has assigned a task to you

Cons:

I haven't found anything yet that I really don't like.

Virtual Work Space

Comments: we cleared our back log for Under charges/Overcharges, Promotional Invoice claims.
Can easily access a lot of information without downloading it like policy documents/training mannuals.

Pros:

I liked the work space speacially how I and my team can look into my performance on a task, before using we were receiving hard copies for invoices where suppliers were charging us different prices, my team leader wasn't completely aware of how many claims are outstanding but now they can log in to Glasscube and monitor our performance personally. Easy Data/file sharing. Its like a social Media, interactive and interesting.

Cons:

Although it shows you you have completed the task but it still stays there and you will have to sort it from completed to pending, it would be more easier if after a certain time completed task either go into another folder or disappear.

extremely useful file sharing and portal

Comments: very good, our company has been using it for many years now

Pros:

We use Glasscubes for file management, file sharing and document control. We upload all of our documents and use it to update and record them all. it is extremely easy to use and find files with the search function

Cons:

i think that when a file has been updating the older files should be put in an archive folder

Glasscubes - Intuitive and user-friendly online document and data management

Comments: Overall, a very positive experience with this software. It has become integral to the work I do on a daily basis!

Pros:

Glasscubes is very user-friendly and intuitive to use. Lots of functionality to make document storage, version management, and collaboration easy.

Cons:

There are a few small aspects that I would like improvement on (e.g., the ability to delete/change your responses in a poll), but the Glasscubes team is very open to suggestions.

Best System to use

Pros:

Glasscubes has made a massive impact on how we operate. The system is very user friendly and helps to store all documents in an organised way. The best part of it are the forms that can be created to accommodate our needs. If you face a problem or need support you always get a reply very quickly and helpful.

Cons:

The only thing I can think of, it is if you were using another system, it will take you time to build Glasscubes, but that is not related to them, it all depends on the amount of work you had before

Intuitive platform for a flying start

Pros:

On the whole, I have been very satisfied with the possibilities that Glasscubes has provided for our organisation. It is easy to use, which is not only good for me and my team maintaining the platform, but especially for users within our organisation who are less tech-savvy. The onboarding and migration of data were also easy, leading to us being able to start using the platform in full swing in a much earlier stage than I honestly would have expected.

Cons:

The things that would make it even greater would be an in-built chat system and a connection with Microsoft Teams, but these functionalities are more "nice to have" for us.

Glasscubes is a good Cloud solution

Comments: As a multi-site company sharing sensitive data, we needed an internet based system so that we could share and update data easily. Of all the systems we've seen and tried, Glasscubes offers the best combination of features and pricing. It works well for us and we've been using it for many years.

Pros:

It's easy to access and to use, particularly given that most of our users are not technically minded

Cons:

On-line editing and sharing of documents could still be improved

Great customer service and best intranet around. Intregral part of our company now.

Pros:

Easy to use and support has been excellent. Particularly useful for controlling document versions and issuing the latest information to your team. Would recommend to anyone looking to set up a company intranet

Cons:

There is not an app version yet, so is not the easiest to use with a tablet. I believe this is being looked into though.

Outstandiing Productivity Tool

Comments: Exceptionally good

Pros:

Easy to use, Tags are very useful and searching is a doddle Just a very good product. Will save tons of time and paper.Customer service is outstanding.

Cons:

I can't think of any cons.. at present as we have a very smooth operation with it.

Great for collaboration

Pros:

It provides a central file storing system for staff across multiple institutions to work across.

Cons:

Document previews don't always format correctly meaning you will need to download the document to view it properly.

flexible and accessible

Comments: file sharing and version control with a disparate team, including WFH
no on-site file storage required

Pros:

flexible and accessible comprehensive search function ability to define individual user access being able to tag favourites

Cons:

notifications a bit difficult to configure project naming needs good planning in advance

Must Have Portal!

Comments: We have struggled internally with employee communication. Glasscubes provided the solution to this problem. Now, we are able to communicate daily with our employees and have all files in one space instead of employees having to travel to a managers office.

Pros:

Ease of use and compatibility. Our employees were able to adapt quickly and we have received positive feedback. We have dedicated dashboards for each department and all of our files are stored here.

Cons:

Image on news/update section distorts as the same image is used for two different sizes.

Glasscubes is vital asset to the company.

Pros:

Glasscubes is a really useful storage and communication area that has been create for the business we are in. It allows us to easily start discussions, show changes and new additional files uploaded and generally keeps everything easy to find and store for quick workflow across multiple sites.

Cons:

There is not much the software cannot do, it is multi functional and provides the company with a lot of functionality that we didn't have before as we used multiple platforms for different things.
