Hasnain Zahid - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable tool useful to manage marketing-related activities
Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten. Sometimes, the portal hangs because I find that if I am on a web page, I have to log out, and then I have to log in to the portal again. Since I see that the portal hangs at times, I have to move from one side of the portal to the next, making me feel that some things are scattered in the product. I attended a meeting with IBM recently, and they are improving a few of the things, in my opinion. The concerns that I have related to the product are being improved since I think many other users have reported issues similar to the ones I faced.

Blogging, forums and rewards create communication links between our worldwide offices.
* Blogging * Forums * Rewards The main aim of the site for us was to create more communication links between the War Child offices in London, Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Therefore, these features are the most valuable to us because of the role they play in allowing employees to let their colleagues know what they’re working on and enabling conversations between country offices. Relationships are built and learning and resources shared. Rewards create a fun and informal way to reach out to a colleague to say thanks for helping with a work task or simply for a cup of tea! They are a quick and fun way to connect with a coworker wherever they are in the world.
