My tool of choice!

4.0 last year

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.

All you need to exploit trend opportunities

5.0 2 months ago New

Comments: The ITONICS Innovation OS is a useful, flexible and modular platform which can be adapted to any enterprise. The possibilities are huge, which can be owerflowing for customers as well as for the application owner. ITONICS' dev ops team improves both the possibilities and the UX - and also improve specific needs.

Pros:

ITONICS Innovation OS has been a game-changer for our innovation efforts, digitizing our idea collection and collaboration across multiple organizations. The ideation and foresight modules specifically help with scouting trends and technologies making it a strong solution to aid strategic decision making and fostering a culture of innovation. The platform is flexible enough to deal with our needs: We use the ITONICS Innovation OS as trend research and reporting tool, which both is possible. The very friendly support, I'd rather say our collabs, are great - love to work with you guys!

Cons:

Not the easiest backend due to the complexity. To keep up, regular usage is necessary. Customization of the landing page is possible, but coding skills are required to do so.

Feedback Itonics

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: The experience is absolutely positive. It is part of our daily doing and business within our innovation management and digitalization team.
It helps us to monitor all relevant foresight topics and helps us staying ahead in terms of competition.

Pros:

They offer a holistic approach to innovation management, seamlessly integrating tools for trend analysis, technology scouting, and idea management. It is customizable and has a really great visualization.

Cons:

The interface is user-friendly, fully grasping the more advanced tools requires significant time and practice. Moreover, the numerous customization possibilities might pose difficulties for users who lack experience with trend and technology management. Providing more in-depth tutorials or streamlining the onboarding process could make it easier for new users to adapt.

Successful implementation of trends radars within one year

5.0 10 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.

Itonics as a collaborative innovation tool

4.0 last year

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.

Would choose again

4.0 last year

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.
