Internal Comms Manager

I’ve used Simpplr to build and manage our company intranet, and it has made internal communications much more efficient.

My favourite part of the platform is the ability to generate a newsletter from content on the intranet already.

The platform also has a clean, modern interface that helps drive engagement with content and keeps everything well organised.

System Administrator

From an IT standpoint, we have used it to build a knowledgebase, and provide instructions to fix common issues that do not need assistance from IT Support, and with the planned future ticketing system integrations, we hope to connect these two aspects to streamline our workflow.

Our main goal was to improve communication throughout our company, to make sure information was shared in one place, that everybody can access, or limit access to specific information to those who need it.

KM Operations Analyst

The "out of the box" integration with OKTA not only solved our SSO needs but also puts the applications most used by our firm at our users fingertips.  

The platform makes it easy to create and manage content and the governance engine helps us keep our most important information current.

Internal Communications Manager

Simpplr Intranet has transformed the way I work and communicate within my organisation on a daily basis.

Sr Communications Advisor

The search is a powerful tool to find content and you have many options to drive awareness and engagement including notifications, tagging and newsletters.

Internal Comms Ops Manager

I really love their content validation feature which allows me as an admin make sure all of the content on our intranet is up to date.

L&D Specialist

I wish there was a way to upload permissions by CSV and that there were even more integrations

Sr. Mgr, Sales Enablement

Simpplr provided templates and best practices that saved me a lot of time.

I'd rather they focus on the core package everyone has and then share the "also available" features.

Director of Marketing and Communications

I wish there was an ability for admins to post FROM mobile, so we could post updates and issue alerts on the go.

Marketing Analytics Engineer

I knew that I could go to our simpplr instance and have many of my HR questions answered as well as information about upcoming activities and webinars.

Employee Experience

In addition to the status pages, [sensitive content hidden] kept me updated with a few messages that the resolution was taking longer than expected or a few hours later when everything was back up and running.

Employee Experience Manager

The team is also really receptive to feedback on suggested enhancements and has implemented some of the suggestions we've submitted like page read times and customized newsletters.

I really liked my company's intranet hosted by Simpplr, it was a valuable hub for finding useful company announcements and information

Senor Communications Manager

I do wish the feed could exist on the homepage without taking up so much real estate or requiring the latest and most popular posts to reappear.   But maybe that change will happen in a future update.  

Multimedia Communication Strategist

Eventually, publishing would work, but the error messages were so generic ("Simppr experienced an error when attempting to publish" or something in that vein) that I was frankly unsure what the problem was or if it was of my own doing.

IT Systems Administrator

I also love the analytics on the platform, so that we can see what comms work and what needs to be re-evaluated.

Most of the features are intuitive and don't require a lot of training.

I come from a career where stories went out in seconds and minutes, so being able to get my work out to the company in just moments is wonderful.

Director, Communications

Really great tool with solid customer service support and ongoing updates to ensure issues are addressed and best practices are applied.

Manager, Products & Services

Simpplr has a nice UI that is easy to use and 'roles' allow for team members to easily update their site/content meaning it is relevant and up to date.

As soon as the issue was realized, we opened a support ticket, and within 5 minutes we had a response from the Simpplr team.

The implementation was a lot of work but not difficult.

I also think the event calendar is very useful for encouraging awareness and attendance at events.

IT Support Specialist

Pros: It’s great connecting with my coworkers on a personal level on the platform by seeing video and picture updates.

The app and website are easy to navigate, publishing is a breeze, and laying in external media like photos and videos isn't much trouble at all.

As well, push notifications for new content ensure everyone gets the message.

It is really easy to get information out to the masses

Simpplr has been very responsive to any issues we've had and has become a thought partner in bettering the product not just for Lozier, but for all customers.

We have been very pleased with our decision to go with Simpplr and we built and rolled it out in the same quarter without having to hire tech consultants.  

Biosample operations

It’s painless for employees to create content on the platform and collaboration has never been easier.

The cost is daunting but we're very happy with the product.

Senior Manager of Internal Communications 

The platform also has robust data analytics that provide insight into usage and effectiveness, it’s not extraneous to pull any reports.

Great experience, the support team is helpful, set-up was seamless with a lot of resources for the deployment team internally to leverage.

Communications Manager

We do not have an IT team at our business, so I love that Simpplr is so easy that a Communications Manager can manage pretty much all of it!

Technical and Compliance corrdinator

It's great how you can easily promote content for all employees to see to the home page

Always a great source of information as we worked to get adoption and utilization numbers up over this initial year after implementation.

Simpplr's rapid publishing and editing ability is fantastic.

Director, Executive Communications

Ability to integrate third-party platforms.

It's perfect for when your intranet doesn't live in IT.  

We were told it would be easy and it was.

Senior Associate

Simpplr has been served as our first ever (and only) employee intranet.

It is mobile friendly which is critical in a manufacturing environment.

Director of Co-Counsel Relations

Even after launch, to have a representative who is thoroughly invested in the continued success of the project has been comforting and helpful.

Director, HR

We were very quickly into the high 90% usage statistics, we had a ton of positive feedback from our employees, and we experienced far fewer people not being able to find important information.

I wish the file management system was a bit more intuitive and easy to use.
