Our verdict on Exago

Exago is an idea-management platform for organisations running corporate, employee or open innovation programmes. It combines configurable innovation workspaces with an initiation wizard, adaptable Kanban-style workflows and customisable submission templates that support media attachments. Teams can collect ideas from mixed sources, apply custom fields, identify similar submissions automatically and manage evaluation through scoring, community input and expert review. Multilingual initiatives, single sign-on and mobile access are also described, with Exago Start, Smart and Open editions for different programme types.

Evaluation is the standout capability. Public or private evaluation cards can structure feedback, while expert evaluation gates and private discussions support more controlled review. Predictive-market evaluation adds another way to assess ideas, beyond standard scoring. Once ideas move forward, teams can assign and manage tasks, review analytics, export reports and recognise implementation through rankings and rewards. This makes Exago a strong fit for programmes that need a defined path from collection to assessment, action and recognition.

The breadth is useful for organisations coordinating multiple innovation formats, but it may be more than a simple suggestion box requires. The contact-sales pricing model means buyers need a sales conversation rather than a published plan comparison. Exago is best suited to teams that value configurable workflows, expert involvement and structured follow-through. Organisations seeking only lightweight idea capture and basic voting may prefer a narrower tool with less process depth.
