Cracks in the ice
Why Igloo customers are left out in the cold
Search that delivers poor results when you need answers.
Igloo promotes its AI-powered search, but many customers report the experience feels more like sifting through snow than finding a clear path. Keywords don’t always return relevant results, filters are clunky, and content is often buried or mis-indexed across spaces.
Customization feels frozen, locking you into rigid templates.
Every organization wants its intranet to reflect its culture, but Igloo makes that a tough task. Users say that branding and styling can only go so far before you hit the ice, forcing teams to accept workarounds or settle for a one-size-fits-all solution that doesn’t really fit.
Navigation confuses users instead of guiding them.
Instead of providing clear trails, Igloo’s navigation often leaves employees wandering. Users complain about getting lost in “spaces” or bouncing between menus that don’t align with real workflows. Not to mention inconsistency that feels like trudging through a snowstorm without a map…
Learning the platform is an uphill climb on thin ice.
While some core functions are straightforward, Igloo users often run into steep learning curves when it comes to advanced features, custom modules, or administrative tasks. Teams without technical expertise report feeling like they need crampons just to get the basics right, slowing adoption and frustrating employees.
Integrations fall short of modern workplace needs.
Integrations are non-negotiable, but Igloo’s often fall short. Some connectors are missing altogether, others work in only one direction, and advanced functionality like automation or real-time sync requires custom development. Teams find themselves working outside the platform to get things done, undermining the very purpose of a centralized intranet.
Real user says: “Overpriced and underdelivered.”
Perhaps the harshest blow comes from Igloo’s own customers, with one summing up their experience as “overpriced and underdelivered.” That frustration appears often across reviews: organizations pay for licenses expecting flexibility, usability, and innovation, only to feel let down as the platform struggles to keep pace.
Leave the ice. Thrive on solid ground.
