The most valuable feature is the ability to create team spaces. Many users have requested a live-edit option for documents.
With many team members all around the world in different time zones, we found that working together in a structured space, rather than over email, was less chaotic. We also found that the information was better documented and organized in Igloo. To be specific: Many users have requested that Igloo implement a live-edit option for documents, such as Google Docs. This would improve the product because for now one has the option to reserve a document, edit it, and then upload an updated version meaning other team members have to wait for one person to be done before adding their contribution. If there were such a feature it would allow for more immediate direct collaboration between members of the community. However, Igloo keeps track of previous versions of the document so this feature is useful as well to see how collaboration progresses between team members.

The speed of opening files and folders is too slow and can be very frustrating
It's relatively easy to create folders or workspaces. It's just cumbersome because the files and folders take a while to open. So that's the only issue I have. The rest of the solution is relatively user friendly. The deployment is relatively fast. From creating a brand new workspace to actually using it can be done within a day, depending on how complex it is. I know within our organization they are basically forcing us now to move away from our servers to Vibe. That started in July and there has been a significant change over to Vibe. So it's still new but for a big organization like ours, it's actually impressive how quickly people moved over to Vibe. We did the installation and deployment ourselves and, as an end user, it's been relatively user friendly. It doesn't take long to get familiar with the program, and if you know how it works, it becomes relatively easy to set up a workspace and save documents and edit it.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Igloo was the cheapest and had the best set of functions useful for our purposes."
"It gives us the ability to create "spaces" for our schools."
"Customer Service: Excellent customer service, responsive, hand-holding if needed."
"We were able to centralize all customer data: files, discussions and technical notes."
"There were no stability issues; it just works."
"HTML and JSP elements are the most valuable features."
"The features that I found most useful were being able to see who made changes to a document, where the document was in the chain of command, and being able to leave comments to make the process more collaborative."
"Our end users find great value in building team workspaces to collaborate not only with internal employees, but with third-party consultants and customers as required."
"It's relatively easy to create folders or workspaces."
"What I like most about this solution, is the fact that I can access it anywhere and customize it to my needs."
 

Cons

"We had difficulties getting everyone to work with the online software so as to get the best out of it."
"I look forward to an update to their text editor."
"Hoping they include "the ability to communicate and have face time" within your own space."
"You have to press the BACK button at least three times till it will go back to the previous page. This is something that must be improved."
"While we were working on implementing this product, the entire system crashed and we had to reinstall it from a previous version."
"The speed of opening files is too slow and should be increased."
"One thing that really needs to improve, is opening files or folders. It takes much longer than when you are getting it to Windows Explorer on the desktop."
"The following issues need some attention: better integration with MS Office suite, more flexibility in customizing the colors and themes, custom forms and workflows are powerful, but the interface needs revamping to be easier to work with."
"The end user experience could be improved; some functions are a little too complicated for the average user."
"The user interface can be changed to 'look' more like a Microsoft one since this will help market the product more."
