Jostle Reviews

Jostle platform enables us (teams) in my organization to work together on the same projects, share files and ideas in one place.

Even though Jostle offers a free trial for 30 days, it lacks freemium version.

There is a lot of functionality, and it is easy to navigate

There are a lot of things that are not needed

It's consistent and reliable for the news articles we post to our staff. It doesn't fail when we post things like several of our other online software.

It's editable text boxes aren't all that complete. You can do basic editing, but not much. I wish we were able to have more options to control our view.

The way Jostle is set up creates a warm and familiar workspace, which is much needed in the era of remote work. Sharing content and accessing it is simple and adds a social media-like flavor to the working environment. It's pretty straightforward and looks like it can be integrated with most types of businesses without a problem.

As fun as the content management system is, it is possible for it to get quite messy without proper use from admins. Perhaps there can be intuitive guides for admins on how to keep things neat, relevant and organized. (Color coding?)

I wish I could have positives about Jostle. If I had to come up with one, it would be having multiple columns viewable at a glance.

Using the website on my phone is unnerving to say the least. Through the website on my phone, I can’t even post updates half of the time. Pictures don’t want to update, the news feed gets stuck.

Now I will say...these issues only happen on my iPhone. However, I have verified on other phones and co-workers say it happens to them on their mobile devices as well.

Very easy to integrate with our business and has grown and improved as our needs have. Very user friendly, mobile app access is super simpleAllows us to easily connect and engage with all our employeesAllows us to share information, announcements, job postings and so much more..

Permissions, security settings and access setup could be improved.

Pretty yammer-like internal engagement and intranet application. There is document rendering, classified, team view diagrams, and more.

Spectacularly awful SSO integration support. It can be made to work but it was far more painful than any other vendor I've setup SAML authentication with.
The documentation is horrible and even flat out wrong in some areas.
'Custom' domains are problematic (see SSO complaint above).
Support and professional onboarding often consists of an email referencing aforementioned cruddy support documentation.
They can (and will) setup platform breaking changes at a night's notice. This type of thoughtless customer engagement is what is prompting this review in fact.

I like that Jostle has made us unite in one encrypted location, where we share files, share ideas and reduce movement in our enterprise.

We have bewn able to work remotely with the help of this tool, I haven't encountered any issue yet.

Jostle learning curve is simple and once you get familiarized with the platform using it and everything else becomes simple for you. It has a user-friendly interface and a reliable customer support team. It also reach in features making my stay pleasant.

It doesn't have problems and hectic challenges.

The ease of use, ease of setup, quick to standup. The usability of the platform is great, minimal training required.

Not sure, it works for the level of intranet that we wanted.

Ease of accessibility for all employees.

Lack of the ability to make our Jostle landing page more original with more custom links and logos.

Navigating is easy. Creating posts is very straightforward. You can also schedule posts, which is very useful.

I don't really love the birthday message bit and how that's what comes up first on the app.

This helps stay connected to our staff.
We can publish exciting news along with important information.
We vary the content so as not to become boring for our younger staff.
We can track who is reading what information.
A great directory of policy and procedures for our staff to be able to access.

Directory can be difficult to navigate

it is easy to post articles to it, the google intergration is nice, makes it easy to set up accounts and log in with for endusers. One of the best parts i would say is the people sections, it is nice cause it allows you see everyone from your company and this is nice when you have several offices like i do.

when posting articles some more and better customization would be nice, some more features would be good as well.

I like that only our company has access to it, and it seems to be safe

when I open the web page on my phone, the screen does not fit and I have trouble looking for things even if i rotate the phone the page does not appear as a whole

I wish the "poll" option was to give alert times when the "poll" is about to end

Our company needed a photo directory of employees and that's what this served as. A virtual Rolodex for internal needs.

The capabilities at the time (2015-2017) were not the best. I'm not sure if they have updated it much but trying to make changes were not simple and it just wasn't robust enough as an intranet. Trying to configure it so that it would be aesthetically pleasing and simple to navigate just wasn't happening unfortunately.

We implemented Jostle in order to keep our company's culture alive and keep employees connected as we rolled out our work at home initiative. We loved how easy it was to set up, how intuitive it is to use and how fun it can be. I describe the news page as is "Facebook and Twitter had a baby" because there are sections for brief updates and longer articles, and as soon as employees get in, they already feel like they know how to use the program.

It does take champions to keep people engaged and logging in. Also, the discussions -- rather like a workplace-appropriate chat room for project or task oriented conversations -- did not work as well for us as we had hoped it would because people needed more prompts to go back in and view updated comments.
