👉 Depending on your objective, the features will differ. Make sure you have the ones that best suit your needs.

• Managers only
• Field jobs
• Support roles
• Target communities (innovation, CSR, HR…)

3- What level of maturity do you have?

• Beginner (structuring an initial approach)
• Intermediate (industrialize and manage)
• Advanced (measure, arbitrate, scale)

The essential criteria for comparing two innovative solutions

Ask yourself a simple question Is this solution designed as a tool or as a lever for collective transformation ?

Points to analyze:

• Place given to collaborators (simple contributor vs. change agent)
• Ability to create dialogue and transversality
• Alignment with your values (participation, autonomy, impact)

Key features (beyond the promises)

Criterions	Questions to ask yourself
Collection	Can we capture ideas, irritants, best practices, solutions?
Qualification	Are the contributions structured (criteria, tags, rating)?
Collaboration	How do exchanges, comments, and enrichments take place?
Prioritization	Are there clear arbitration mechanisms?
Taking action	Does the solution facilitate monitoring and implementation?
Reporting	Are the indicators actionable and understandable?

👉 In 2026, the lack of steering and monitoring is a strong warning sign.

User experience and adoption

An unused solution is a useless solution.

Specific elements to compare:

• Easy to use (employees and administrators)
• Interface quality (mobile, accessibility, clarity)
• IT dependency-free configuration
• Ability to engage users

💡 Insight field Beeshake Adoption depends more on the clarity of the framework and the animation than on the number of features.

👉 In innovation, innovation without a method is not enough.

• Platform scalability
• Long-term product vision

Primary objective	One-off ideation	Continuous collective intelligence
Ease of adoption	Average	Élevée
Monitoring & KPIs	Limit	Advanced
Collaboration	Low	Structured
Support	Optional	Integrated
Measurable RPO	Difficult	Clair

👉 This type of table is essential for a collective and rational decision.
