HR and the endless software ocean - how to choose internal communication software?

Project management, CRM, internal communication, digitizing HR processes, and community building... just a few of the many tasks for which a company may be looking for the ideal software today. As the software industry has grown, the choice has become increasingly difficult. 

Why is it so difficult to choose corporate software?

Obviously, there is no time or capacity to try every application that comes along. The needs of companies are not the same, there are often internal regulations that limit the software that can be used, and many companies prefer to simplify rather than use dozens of different programs. The most widely advertised software is not the best for everyone. In addition, companies are often looking for the system that best fits their profile and image.

These are precisely the circumstances that have created the need in the competition for enterprise software solutions: to facilitate choice through the professional opinion of experts and first-hand user experience. 

We don't buy a car because we want "a car"

If companies can browse corporate software on a single platform, read reviews, and compare features, prices, and ratings, they can make more informed decisions about which software to start using. Just as we are familiar with the trusted sites for finding used cars or real estate, there are some really big names in enterprise software, and trusted, internationally recognized platforms. Let's look at some of these and the main criteria to start with when choosing software.

  • Ease of use, user-friendly interface? Of course!

Capterra can be particularly useful for SMEs, helping them to discover and compare software solutions. The site offers a wide range of software search tools in different categories (e.g. project management, CRM, HR, etc.) and provides guidance based on real user experiences.

Ease of use is almost always a key consideration when integrating internal communication software. With the Ease of Use award, Capterra highlights software that has been highly rated for its user-friendliness. This means that users can navigate the software easily, use it intuitively, and do not require complex training to use it effectively. Such software is ideal for those who are looking for a simple, easy-to-learn solution for everyday workflows.

This year, the Blue Colibri App received Capterra's Best Ease of Use award in the categories of Internal Communication, Employee Engagement Tool, Onboarding, and HR Analytics, based on the reviews, with an overall rating of 4.8 out of five.
