Compared to what we were using before-- Google Spreadsheets-- Desk Net is 1000% better. I searched many solutions and DeskNet was the best value for the right features. It and the staff quickly adapted to each other and now we can't imagine life pre-Desk Net.
Pros
Desk-Net is a very easy to learn and adaptable system to keep a complicated editorial calendar organized across many employees and platforms. The interface is clear, the features are perfectly suited to what we need.
Cons
The interface coud always be better and more Mac-like. I would love to see better integration with:
1. payroll features, so payments could be added and integrated with office payroll software
2. awards features. So stories that should be awards-considered are easy to track through the year
3. Integration with newsletter makers like Iterable so stories can flow over with a click
Response from Kordiam
Hi Rob,
Thanks for the great review! We are in the process of completely re-designing the user-interface.
A good solution for the awards features would be custom fields. There you can define and mark award-worthy stories.
We've recently had a Partner & Integration Manager join us at Desk-Net. While we cannot promise an integration with Iterable, you can look forward to integrating more tools with Desk-Net.
Thanks,
The Desk-Net team

Desk-Net played a crucial role in digitally transforming a national bi-weekly print publication into an online magazine with multiple daily updates.
Pros
Desk-Net is the gold standard in editorial planning. It's also an incredibly flexible and easy to understand tool that everybody, regardless of their level of computer savviness, can use with ease. Even advanced configurations can be carried out by non IT staff without steep learning curves.
Cons
Not really Desk-Net's problem, but its incredible flexibility will tempt organisations to just model their existing workflows with it instead thinking first how to simplify those workflows.
Response from Kordiam
Thank you for your review. It's great to read that our customers appreciate the flexibility of Desk-Net. In our current major relaunch, we've focused on making Desk-Net even more customizable, among other things - new pages coming soon!

The organization of the newspaper work is easier and the connection of different houses is very good.
Pros
We have a cooperation with several other newspapers. Desk Net gives the possibility to announce, plan and deposit texts very easily. I like a lot the possibility to mark texts in colors in categories like planned or done/available,
Cons
When texts are not connected with a detailed date then the data tends to get lost or hard to be seen. And in the my topics section done data doesn´t disappear. It would be interesting to have an overview who opened a file
Response from Kordiam
Thank you for such a positive review. We are in the midst of a major relaunch and undated stories will be added to the Story List to make it easier for you to view them.

Desk-Net has been great for story planning and collaboration in one place

We used to have users using many different platforms or methods for planning stories, schedules, events and such. People would use Google Docs, email, calendars, Lotus Notes, and probably many other options for story planning. It made moving from one department to another challenging. It made cross department collaboration challenging. And it made supporting it as part of the IT team quite challenging. Desk-Net was easy to implement and adopt across all editorial departments to streamline story processes.
Pros
The software was fairly easy to setup, maintain, and get end users on board with using. It has been an excellent tool for our editorial department.
Cons
I don't think the interface is always as intuitive and modern as it could be. Other than that, we haven't had much in the way of negative experiences.
Response from Kordiam
Hi Andy,
Thanks a lot for your great review! We appreciate it and are happy that our tool has helped improve collaborations at Tax Analysts.
We've got some good news! We're already working on the interface to ensure a better user experience, and you should see the improvements later this year.

Desk-Net is a very modern tool. It enables the editorial team to plan topics transparently. Working in the editorial department without Desk-Net would no longer be conceivable. We really appreciate the direct contact with the Desk-Net staff and also with the managing director, who is always ready to listen.
Pros
Desk-Net has a very user-friendly and intuitive user interface. There is no need to install anything on the client as it runs completely in the browser. You can configure your filters and interfaces as required by the individual employee. The system is very stable and we have never had an outage.
Cons
I can't think of any significant disadvantages. A staging system would sometimes be useful so that you can test things.

It is widely used in newsrooms - journalist or corporate comm - which indicates its usefulness for this purpose.
Pros
It helps us to implement the idea of a corporate network, despite being a small team. I like the overview over my scheduled tasks and publications. We can conntect teams - and have their input of topics - that were not connected before.
Cons
It is quite expensive for a small team.

Our biggest benefit is networking with our partners. We deliver our newspaper articles to an related newspaper. Out daily planning is a huge help for those colleagues - for them it is able to see in real-time, which article we are going to publish. Otherwise, we are able to see the daily planning from another related newspaper-partner and can easliy benefit. Another benefit is the communication with our freelancers: authors can easily see, which article with how much signs we need at which time. Desknet sends automatically an E-Mail to those freelancers. In the past, we had to send E-Mails via Outlook with all those information. Now, they can see everything in Desknet - including attachments and comments. Another benefit, I think, is sharing information with all. Attachments, comments, using the "Notice"-function: Every person in this room and abroad can easily take part. Desknet facilitates our daily work in a local newspaper office.

Cons
We must assign a photo to a name - otherwise, our newspaper photographer doesn`t get the information. The short title is at least a little bit too short. I don`t like the new box, in which you must confirm, which state of publication a theme gets. Two clicks more compared to the "old" Desknet. We dont need the separation - we only need "accepted". But this can distinguish between users. You see: the cons are void.

Look above at the Pros section. Desk-Net is the easiest way to get an overview.
Pros
Desk-Net is a very professional tool that allows our 150 Journalists to get an easy overview over the current planned stories and also for all the long-term based articels. We can add simply new formats, can mark and inform all persons involved into a story and everyone can see, whats going on. This is especially for 20 Minuten with 8 local offices around switzerland - even in the french- and italian speaking part - extremely important.
Cons
The only thing that I personally dont like that much, is the fact, that functions and layout are changend by Desk-Net.

Der Gesamteindruck ist überwiegend positiv, da Desk-Net viele sehr nützliche und gute Funktionen bietet, der Support i.d.R. zügig erfolgt und man dort auch neuen Ideen gegenüber aufgeschlossen ist.
Pros
Desk-Net ist gerade für die Planung größerer Redaktionen mit mehreren Standorten ideal, weil es übersichtlich, schnell und effizient zu nutzen, einfach zu schulen und zügig zu implementieren ist. Es ermöglicht darüber hinaus, das Bespielen mehrerer Kanäle und die Abstimmung mit Freien Mitarbeitern und Dienstleistern.
Cons
Desk-Net versteht sich als reines Themen- und Terminplanungstool, andere wichtige Redaktionsmanagement-Anwendungen, wie z.B. eine verbesserte Planung von Diensten, Schichten, Urlauben und freien Tagen wäre hilfreich.
Response from Kordiam
Vielen Dank für Ihr positives Feedback zu Desk-Net. Wir freuen uns, dass sich unser Tool als effizient und hilfreich für die Planung in großen Redaktionen erwiesen hat.
Unser Ziel ist es, ein spezialisiertes Tool für die Themenplanung zu bleiben. Gleichzeitig arbeiten wir an der Weiterentwicklung unserer offenen API, um bald eine noch bessere Anbindung an andere Tools wie Schicht- und Dienstplanungstools zu ermöglichen.
Außerdem möchten wir im Rahmen unseres Relaunches sicherstellen, dass die eingegebenen Schichten und Abwesenheiten besser für das Aufgabenmanagement und die redaktionelle Planung genutzt werden können.
