Overall Satisfaction with LumApps

We use LumApps for Intranet. This is used within the whole company. Other than hosting information web pages, we have LumApps integrated with our AD for staff directory information. Our company uses Google Workspace as our day-to-day collaboration and productivity solution, and this integrates with LumApps on authentication. We also put files in Google Drive which then appears as lists on our Intranet pages.
  • Integration with Google Workspace e.g. Google Drive.
  • Easy to amend pages and publish.
  • Integration with AD for users information e.g. Staff Directory.
  • For pages on "Offices", though we have a calendar for each office to show upcoming public holidays, the calendar will disappear if there are no forthcoming entries, making it a bit confusing.
  • In the Staff Directory, it is far easier to look at subordinates of staff, but if to look at all the managers and up levels, it needs many clicks to display managers of each level.
  • Not very user-friendly for new administrators who will need to maintain and create new pages.
  • A workable solution in the hybrid working pattern nowadays - no need to be behind VPN.
  • Improve productivity for people to know who's who for their colleagues when they need to work together.
I was not part of the team on product selection at that time.

Google Workspace (formerly G Suite), Slack, Microsoft Office 2016 (discontinued)
Quite good integration if the company is using Google Workspace (maybe also as good with other platforms though) The thing is that it does not need to be on VPN to access the Intranet, which is a good thing when now most users are working from home or it is a hybrid working pattern.
