It takes little to no time to get used to it." — 5.0/5 > **Sarah** | *24 March 2018* | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: As I wrote above; I like that the App (and even the admin desktop version) is well-designed, nice to look at, and fun to use. We used it in our company, which is a big German consultancy with nearly 1000 employees. I used questionnaires and put in calendar dates, too- all worked perfectly. All in all, it is a perfect Application for internal communication – for a short use (like a company convention) or for a long use (like using it instead of an Intranet). Additionally, I’d like to point out that the customer support of Play Consult is excellent. > > **Cons**: I think Totem is a great application, and I would undoubtedly recommend it to anyone who’ll be asking. When it comes to “Cons” of Totem, then I’d say that though I love the idea of Kudos and its use, strictly speaking, I didn't experience that much different from likes you receive on Facebook or Twitter. Kudos are supposed to communicate "more" than a "like" (rather a thank you)- but Likes on Social Media are used this way too: likes of a Facebook post tell you as much about the post as about how well-liked/well-connected/active/popular he or she is. Having said that, in light of the recent data discussion of Facebook and Co., I’d always recommend and use Totem instead of Facebook (and setting a closed group an FB, for example), difference or not. Additionally, I'm unsure how engaging this system is for employees who don't receive that many Kudos. If the gap between you and "the top" is too big, I think it's possible that it may be disengaging. > > Great, nice and easy-to-use software for internal company communication ----- ### "I am relatively new to Totem, but enjoy the interactivity with team" — 4.0/5 > **Michael** | *30 March 2018* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: small and large networks, however you set it out, various groups across the units, alumni organization, etc > > **Cons**: still has lots to learn, we are working with the team to drive engagement and ease of use, am reasonably confident that we'll get there. > > Employee engagement and reach ----- ### "Great App" — 5.0/5 > **David** | *3 April 2018* | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software is great to be able to keep in touch with a remote team, and using this helps to monitor what is happening in the working week without having to be together, Our team also uses this for personal updates on what we have done over weekends and holidays, another great way to keep up with what the team do to relax as well > > **Cons**: The Kudos and Badges, they seem to drive a specific behaviour and for a non-retail team this doesn't really work but I can see that this would work in a retail environment or where targets are set. My only frustration is when you set a challenge you cannot update this via the app you have to do it on CMS. ----- ### "Totem is great and support our business vision" — 5.0/5 > **Hayden** | *22 March 2018* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The vision with Totem was for a better connected team, and faster feedback for the teams at Head Office. There have been many examples of when Totem has met this vision and meant faster turnaround times for resolving issues for the team in-store. > > **Cons**: There are times where other social apps are ahead of Totem. Hashtags, group chat being just some examples. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/172851/totem?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/172851/totem) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
