Analytics limitations: Users have mentioned their dissatisfaction with the analytics side of LumApps. They stated that it does not show user-specific data and finding information on which associates use the intranet the most is difficult. This limitation hinders their ability to gain valuable insights from the platform.

Lack of integration options and out-of-the-box templates: Several users wished for more integration options with files and desired out-of-the-box templates to reduce the need for design assistance. They also expressed a desire for better metrics without relying solely on Google's services, highlighting a need for enhanced flexibility and customization within LumApps.

We needed a new intranet with more features to enable informed and engaged associates. Prior to using LumApps, our main communication channel with our teams was email. LumApps has given us a simple way to host content online and share news and information, while also allowing associates to interact and have more 2-way dialogue through comments, likes, and sharing. We're in the early stages of our implementation but have already gotten feedback that the platform is allowing us to achieve our goals. Looking forward to continued growth and development with this product.
  • Simple user interface
  • Secure
  • Good support
  • Documentation could be improved - lots of it but not always easy to find what I need
LumApps is an easy-to-use intranet platform with relatively simple implementation. It would be especially useful in a company where associates bring their own devices, as the mobile app is very useful. Reaching associates who do not work in front of a computer continues to be a challenge. This product would also be excellent for an organization using the Google suite (Gmail, Google Drive, etc.).
  • Reduced email
  • Time saved on creating newsletters and distributing news/communications
I've used numerous intranet platforms, and LumApps is very simple to use and learn.
The integration with Google suite is wonderful, but not quite as simple to integrate with MS O365. They could improve that integration, especially considering many enterprise-level organizations don't use Google.
LumApps works with SharePoint and provides a much easier and more intuitive user interface. It is fairly simple to learn the basics, although plan to spend more time to really dive into all that it can offer and become an expert in the product. They seem very entuned to the needs of internal communications professionals. For the price and features, this product was better than others we viewed.

Most of our associates in corporate function roles use this tool. Usage is more sparse with our non-desk associates but they do still log on. Allowing access via mobile devices may remedy this in part. Our company does not allow usage of personal mobile devices; if we did, likely most all associates would access the platform at least occasionally.

We have two communications people who support content on our intranet full time. Ideally, you should have someone in a more technical, product or channel owner role to become a true SME on LumApps. There are many features we likely don't take advantage of well because we are busy keeping up with content and training and don't have someone dedicated to owning the product.
  • Internal communication
  • Knowledge sharing
  • Employee engagement
  • Better engagement for Associate Resource Groups through Communities
  • Video hosting via LumApps Play
  • Increased targeted communication based on associate profile
The tool is easy to use. Even without a dedicated product owner we feel confident using the system for our needs.
  • News articles are easy to use and create, as well as the Communities
  • Setting up user management is not clear to me as a communications person; I need our IT and LumApps support to help with this
Yes, but I don't use it

We use LumApps to create our intranet and knowledge base. We had a lot of great content/knowledge that was missing because we didn’t have a specific place to find those content. LumApps helped us give the structure to organize this content and also, work together with a better view of how to do it in an effective way.
  • Integrations with other sources (Okta, Google, Zendesk, Salesforce)
  • A lot of possibilities to create a good template for the content that we want to share
  • A community feature, so people can interact about some topics in common.
  • Backups and bulk content (import , export and update)
  • Roles and groups more easily to use
  • More granularity about what permission a viewer use can have, a writer, an administrator, and so on.
Share news and organizational communications. The auto-translate feature helps to have the content available without doing a lot of manual translations. It solves our big problem that was “how to share great and relevant content to the entire organization”.
  • People know where to find things that they need
  • Possibility to connect with other people to talk about a topic using the community feature
  • Organize content to be easy to find using metadata and tags.
LumApps has a lot of things to improve on it still. Like accessibility, be more user friendly, have a better experience for content creators. On the other side, once the person has trained about how to update their content it’s easy to put the content in your right place.
We don’t use the integrations much, we only use the user directory for now, but we have plans to explore it more.
It was not flexible enough for us and the granularity of permissions doesn’t attend us. Its a good tool but for simple sharing content.

We use it to provide resources, news, and content to employees to be able to do their day-to-day job seamlessly. It is also our intranet platform. We add new pieces of content or news everyday
  • simple layout
  • google integration
  • easy creation of content
  • content expiration
  • analytics
  • permissions
LumApps is well suited to provide fresh news to our employees on a daily basis and cater that information to the audience based on their role location etc LumApps does not handle well content owners expiration and their notifications don't work great, so maintenance of LumApps can be a pain
  • improved employee onboarding (we have 8000+ users visiting lumapps every week)
Content creation is quite easy in LumApps and home page is a great option to provide news and resources to employees
Their integration with Google great, we have not tried other products

From an IT perspective we have two. One who adminsters the tool and makes changes in the backend and another who governs the tool
