What problems is eXo Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

Great question—eXo Platform is designed to solve key challenges organizations face in communication, collaboration, knowledge retention, and employee engagement. Here's a breakdown of the problems it solves and how that can benefit you or your team:

1: Fragmented Communication & Tools

The Issue: Teams often rely on multiple disconnected apps—email, Slack, Trello, Google Docs, Zoom—creating silos and friction.

How eXo Helps:

What do you like best about eXo Platform?

Using eXoPlatform makes it much easier to engage with your employees through conference calls (viedo and voice) assigining tasks to them, rewarding successful contributions and task completions, and giving them opportunity to monitor their progress through a gamified chart, thereby promoting transparency.

This platform equally builds team spirit as employees learn to appreciate each others contributions by sending kudos to their colleagues.

The eXo Platform also provides adequate customer support system and data security for every user. This means that all files and information uploaded to the platform is safe.

I equally love the fact that in allows other platform like tweeter and decentralized wallets to be linked to it, making it easier for contributions to be monitored as well as transactions.

What do you like best about eXo Platform?

eXo Platform has the full range of tools that we need to share files, ideas, resources and project status information in a streamlined and unified. The layout and design of the different menus and sections is neat and makes things easy to understand. The general look and functionality is not too different from common social media platforms. Our monthly fee per user is not too bad and gives us a good return on investment. Working with the eXo support team, especially during our setup period, was a pleasant experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about eXo Platform?

The pricing for some of the higher end plan is quite expensive. That's not something our organization would probably be able to activate. If you try to configure things on your own, without the guidance of technical support, it may be a difficult task that could take a while to sort out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering eXo Platform:

I would recommend eXo as a complete work collaboration platform that gives you many features for your money. I think you'll see that it at least offers all of the common collaboration platform features that most other platforms have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is eXo Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

eXo has provided us with a unified hub that allows us to stay on top of job assignments, project deadlines and have access to resources and group communications. Everyone is generally less stressed and frustrated since our activities and files are well-organized and accessible. For the most part, we've been able to operate more efficiently and have cut down on redundant communications and workflow processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
