You won’t find this level of detail anywhere else. There are other websites and reports that cover some of these products, but we provide a unique level of detail.
It will save you time. We spent well over 400 hours doing the research, so the cost of the report will be quickly recovered by saving you weeks of effort.
You’ll make a better decision – we know what to ask vendors as we bring world-class intranet and internal comms experience. Most of the review team has worked as intranet managers, and has over 100 years in the industry.
Our opinions are genuinely independent. We accept no fees for inclusion from vendors, have no re-seller relationships, or sponsorship, and we don’t sell any software products ourselves.
We tell you the bad as well as the good. We base scores on business scenarios rather than a list of features, so we aren’t easily swayed by a vendor’s claim to be unique. Reviews are checked by three people, and scores balanced as needed.
We cover vendors from Switzerland, Denmark, USA, Australia, Netherlands, UK, Finland, Canada, France, and Germany.
We can directly help you refine your requirements, refresh your strategy, and develop RFPs for shortlisted vendors. We’re in a unique position to advise, considering our agnostic intranet experience and relationships with software vendors.
