Likelihood to Recommend The ability to create optional interest groups for users to join if they like is a great way brings users together, and promote group meet ups and events. The polls ability is always great for taking a quick check of people's availability, we've used it to gauge interest in events and dates. One thing that could be improved is that there is both a messaging and an instant message functionality which seems a little redundant having users being able to message you from different places in separate inboxes, however this may be due to our set up.
Read full review It's well suited as a central point for your company. It can easily be branded for your every need and showcase everything that's going on for your users. The mobile app is excellent and gives the full package on your mobile device so that you're always in tune with what's going on at your workplace. There are loads of shoutouts and constant uploads of team photos and excursions. We work for a really active company, so there are always loads getting posted on a day-to-day basis. It breaks up the monotony of staring at a spreadsheet when you see your colleagues having fun while working.

Read full review It's a great document library for everything to timesheets through to expenses Great friendly fresh feel to the interface User information is easily synced with AD/AAD and other sources Great 'People' section where staff can get to know their colleagues Great 'Apps' section where you can add links for all the sites our users need access to Read full review Cons The messaging system is quite new and doesn't always clear down when read The mentions tab can get very busy if you're added to groups Lots of customisation can make it overwhelming when editing Read full review I don't like the name. It's actually not simpler to spell Simpplr. Nice product, daft name. I'd like to see the people section stand out more and have a bolder collaboration side to it. It would be awesome to collaborate on documents together via a screen share facility. Video calling directly via Simpplr would be awesome. Read full review Alternatives Considered Although,
Facebook at Work featured a very modern interface and was praised by many of the beta testers, we primarily didn't choose
Facebook at Work due to data security reasons.
Read full review Simpplr seemed to have the most modern approach when describing what they want to achieve for the company. It integrates with all the platforms that we use and ticked all of the boxes we were looking for in a modern intranet package. It is significantly more modern and easier to manage than our old Intranet. Our comms team loves it, and feedback has been great from everyone in the company. It's hard to find any negatives about it.
