Idea Management Software
Idea Management software, or Ideation software, provides all employees or members of an organisation with a platform for sharing ideas to benefit a common objective. Idea Management tools allow companies to solicit information and encourage a collaborative environment for employees. Additionally, vendors, partners, customers and investors can share ideas, allowing companies to collect, sort, and evaluate ideas from outside the workforce, often with strategic goals in mind.
Idea Management systems are related to Project Management software, Workflow Management software, and Task Management software. Find the best idea management software for your organisation in Australia.

Pros:
It’s ease of use to set up different help desks or ticket requests was fairly easy. Each help desk can be unique to the department it serves.
Read more
Cons:
It can be costly and there are nasty sides on the licensing. For example, you can't use plugins for a limited number of users, and only pay for that the number of users.

Pros:
Furthermore, Asana's extremely adjustable and attractive GUI makes interacting with it a lot more enjoyable. It was well worth the money.

Cons:
When you set up a new account, you naturally are opted in to the email notifications, which can be really annoying and a pain to remove. My only suggestion to the Asana team would be to change that.
