User friendly, very organized information
What do you like best about the product?
Dashboard on home page makes it easy to navigate to commonly used pages and see content that is most relevant to you. Featured Sites widget is very helpful as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think this is less of a critique of Simpplr and just a result of being at a very large organization, but there is SO much content it can be hard to feel like you know how to access everything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nice to have everything in one place. Benefits of saving/bookmarking your pages is very helpful. All the learning resources are grouped together so it makes it really nice to see all resources available in one spot, as we have various learning platforms.
Simpplr: We LOVE It!
What do you like best about the product?
We've used Simpplr as our intranet provider for a little over 3 years now and our employees love it! As the main intranet manager I find it really easy to work with and train other users on. The constant updates and features are a fantastic bonus - every new update brings a QOL feature I never knew I needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few quirks that we ran into while setting up our intranet, but nothing that is groundbreaking. I would say the most disliked thing (and I'm grasping at straws here) is the number of permissions available. Although a benefit, we've run into the issue where people are unsure of their roles and what they entail.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted to make our intranet the single source of truth, and with the platform, we're able to accomplish just that. With the built-in auto-governance features, we can make sure all of our content is relevant and up to date with the current times.
Great Intranet
What do you like best about the product?
My main landing page is clean, easy to navigate, and intuitive. Everything I need to navigate my company, from branding standards to company holidays, are right there and if I don't see what I'm looking for right away the search functionality is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's nothing that I dislike about Simpplr. All the content I need is right there in a visually compelling format. It's great!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Up to date content is in one place, not a bunch of places so I know where to go when I need something. I also see updates on what my colleagues are doing, new hires that have joined the company and more. It helps me feel connected and current on what's going on.
Great tool - even better customer service!
What do you like best about the product?
I love so many elements of the Simpplr platform it's tough to narrow down to "the best". Clean UX. Simplicity of UI. Ease of implementation. And the best human customer team I've ever worked with, from sales though implementation!
What do you dislike about the product?
Not one thing. Really really. It is that good!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Clear Comms platform for executive communications. 2. One central source of truth for all information. Mission accomplished!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do your due diligence. Then pick Simpplr.
Simpplr - From the IT Administrator Perspective
What do you like best about the product?
Simpplr is a super easy-to-use product for hosting and maintaining our organization's Intranet. It has several app integrations that we use everyday to increase our efficiency of communications.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not have any downsides to using the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company's communication is more streamlined. Getting the correct information to the right people is easy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Simpplr is a fantastic product that makes managing a company Intranet easy and fast.
Simpplr dramatically improved our ability to communicate with employees!
What do you like best about the product?
We were fortunate to implement Simpplr just before the pandemic began. I can't imagine communicating with employees using legacy tools during a period of rapid and dramatic change. Simpplr allowed us to create compelling content quickly, spin up new sites, and promote content through Slack and other communication channels. Beyond that, we heard from employees that we were sending too much information through email. So, by sending short emails to employees with links to Simpplr content, we improved readership to over 90%.
The system's ability to create and promote content also made it easier for employees to create their content, share it, and receive immediate feedback. Simpplr therefore became a true social platform, and a key mechanism for connecting employees with leaders.

What do you dislike about the product?
Very little. We were surprised at how easy it was to implement, how successful we were in convincing stakeholders to move away from SharePoint, and how responsive they have been to requests. I feel like our account management team is listening to our needs. Not everything gets implemented, but we're heard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We moved from a web-based front-end with a SharePoint back end. Engagement on the platform (outside of getting to other tools & systems) was low. And, everyone hated building content on SharePoint. Simpplr created an easy and consistent way to create content, target it to appropriate audiences, and promote it through other channels when necessary. Because the system has a consistent look and feel, the whole platform looks professional. And, it's so easy to use that any employee can create their own content.
These features combined have enabled us to communicate effectively to 6K worldwide employees with limited staff.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take time to "go slow to go fast." Make sure you clearly understand your stakeholder needs, and do a thorough review of competing products. Gartner and similar consulting companies are helpful. We made a conscious decision to pay for Simpplr even though SharePoint was already "paid for." Based on our research and analysis, I would not have made any other decision.
Amazing support team offers great intranet solution
What do you like best about the product?
You can utilize the tool with very little in-house IT support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Keeping the data current, like the People Directory of titles, org chart, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solved the need to create a virtual headquearters. Employees are beginning to utilize the tool more often.
Why make things difficult when it could be Simpplr?
What do you like best about the product?
Simpplr has a smart and sophisticated design that makes it extremely user friendly. There is no complicated coding involved and you don't have to be a technical genius to figure things out! The intranet's dashboard and site-oriented layout means managers are able to inform, engage, and inspire their site members to centralize content and point to a single source of truth on information. This allows clients to build a platform for effective employee communication that leads to an inclusive, barrier free workplace. For all these reasons, including its scability and affordability, it was simple to go with Simpplr as our intranet provider.
What do you dislike about the product?
Simpplr has a handful of integrations that they've released, however our company hasn't utilized them because the integrations don't add much value to our intranet or the applications they are connected with. It's been mentioned that Simpplr is working on strengthening their integrations, so our company looks forward to what we may be able to achieve after further enhancement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simpplr's org chart is a great feature and our employees use it daily when they need to know who to go to for questions. It's also easy to navigate, and employees like to view the unique individual profiles to find emails and phone numbers.
Excellent Online Employee Engagement and Company Intranet - Great Support and Customer Care
What do you like best about the product?
The Simpplr team was the part I appreciated most. The software itself is great and met all of our needs, but the support we received from implementation through steady-state has been excellent. The implementation team of Kristen, Christine, Christy (they made it easy - we just had to start to say 'Chris' and someone would respond) were fantastic to work with and Aaron has been keeping us moving forward. Everyone has been a pleasure to work with.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a lot of setup that has to take place, especially organizationally. We are still working through it, but it didn't slow us down and it's a fair ask and necessary. There are some limitations based on Salesforce, but we see things being addressed and features being added.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were looking for a better way to communicate with a very diverse and geographically dispursed population of employees working in many different environments. The goal was to reach more employees than we could through email and a traditional Intranet and I believe we are accomplishing that. We continue to work on engagement and while it's been slow at times (our choice) there is good energy and excitement around it.
Easy Learning Curve, Great Visuals
What do you like best about the product?
I love the streamlined, clean aesthetic of the brand that allows for simple customization and intranet management. I also really love how easy it is to "get in there" and figure it out yourself. The platform itself is very intuitive, and once you spend some time with it, the actual creation of pages, newsletters, etc. takes less and less time. I can easily share out updates across the organization within minutes.
Also, the customer service is top-notch. I truly feel like their team cares about our experience, analytics and overall enjoyment of the platform. They're very quick to respond and my monthly connects with them is something I look forward to.

What do you dislike about the product?
It's not a custom website, so of course, there are certain things I wish it had, but I've found workarounds for almost all of the areas that didn't meet our company's individual needs. It can be a bit buggy on the formatting side and I'm hoping they release analytics for the app soon as we haven't rolled that out yet to our employees. We want to be able to measure them before we do so.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving for the need of knowledge. Creating an environment where you KNOW you can find the information (have you heard about their robust search feature? holy smokes) - whether it's business updates, company culture or knowledge-based - we can create a variety of digestible content for anyone to consume. It's quick, in your face information that is shareable amongst employees and engaging across all departments.
