Chose Beekeeper
Beekeeper provides convenient interface for teams to interact and develop tools together, no doubt Slack is also very good and hassle free to use but as far we noticed Beekeeper is performing quite well for large data and analytics is also very fast and it requires much less …
Chose Beekeeper
Beekeeper has been able to bring us considerable advantages in terms of communication and collaboration within our organization. It is a fantastic tool that allows us to communicate with colleagues.
LumApps
Chose LumApps
It overall stacked up incredibly against all its competitors. Its customer service, simple to use format, and ease of implementation were hard to beat. We got up and running in about 6-8 months and it was right on schedule for implementation. It's feature set was smaller …
Chose LumApps
Our organization selected LumApps for its customizability, integrations with the Google suite, Slack, etc., in addition to the customizable meta-data that would allow for a unique user experience for our global teams so that users in the Latin American region, for example, …
Chose LumApps
Because we're on Google Workspace, it just made sense to use LumApps. We also use AODocs, and they all work together very well.
Chose LumApps
LumApps formatting an end-user views look much better, but Drupal is much easier to use.
Chose LumApps
We looked at several, but our parent company was using LumApps and it made the most sense to stick with them.
Chose LumApps
I was not part of the selection process. We do have teams that are using Sharepoint due to the fact that their teams use MS Teams heavily to share and collaborate. Some teams find it easier to simply build out Sharepoint pages because their Teams content already lives on …
Chose LumApps
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.
Chose LumApps
LumApps is more fit for purpose for a collaborative intranet. Lots of features related to internal communications. However, some of the tools provided are not intuitive for people who have experience with other CMS platforms. The setup is a bit challenging, and will likely …
Chose LumApps
Sharepoint is also fairly easy to use for content creators. Sharepoint has been around for a very long time and is a powerful enterprise tool when it is well implemented, but implementation is critical to ensure that both the brand experience and usability for content owners …
Chose LumApps
LumApps certainly outperforms some of these platforms on the enterprise level due to their partnership with employee management services like Okta. That said, the content management aspect becomes more difficult because the management process feels very manual and rigid. Bulk …
Chose LumApps
LumApps is so much easier to use. With Sharepoint, you probably need a developer due to its complexity. You don't need that at all with LumApps. Marketing and HR professionals can easily learn it. It is best to lean on LumApps or a partner to build out a few templates to get …

Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Teams and SAP Jam
Chose LumApps
LumApps offers organizations both a data push and a data pull option. Controlling page viewership by the audience sets this tool apart from many other communication options. When organizations put in the appropriate design time effort to leverage LumApps' feature set, their …
Chose LumApps
We did not formally compare these platforms. I have worked on them with other clients.
Chose LumApps
Simpplr was the closest but we didn't think they could scale.
Chose LumApps
Google Sites is not meant to be an intranet, we were using it well beyond its intention, but it was free (and we use G Suite for everything else). We demoed Jive and Facebook for Business, but neither sufficed for an intranet that also needed to be a repository for documents, …
Chose LumApps
We previously used apps like Coda and Lessonly for user-generated content that we shared on our internal communication channels.

Coda and Google Docs work well for frequent collaboration. Lessonly works well for engaging learning content. We added in LumApps to manage content …
Chose LumApps
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 …
Chose LumApps
We used Jive previously. From a capability standpoint, Jive was very strong. It could do a lot, and it did it mostly well. However, Jive was purchased and the company that bought them ruined the product. We would have severe downtime (sometimes for multiple days), and support …

I highly recommend Beekeeper; it has given an incredible strength in each of the task management processes; you can get a great benefit to develop multiple activities in a given time. It is an excellent and convenient resource that allows teams to synchronize, improve information flow, and collaborate effectively.

LumApps is THE employee experience platform! With its customizable meta-data, I was able to create over 700 pieces of content to deploy a regionalized user experience for our global sales and customer success teams. No longer were employees inundated with content that did not apply to their region or market. With LumApps’ best in class functionality, the integrations that our organization uses, such as Google and Slack were easily integrated within LumApps to create a seamless user experience for a global audience.

  • The editing user interface is a bit wonky and occasionally glitchy.
  • The back-end options are not organized super well, which can make it confusing to find the right settings.
  • The customization options are somewhat limited without advanced CSS/dev skills, and the basic functions can be a bit challenging for some non-technical users.

As I said before, LumApps platform is not intuitive at all, people have a lot of trouble using the tool, the curve to learn is too high, mainly the style part, is so confusing what I am adjusting there, is the outside of the widget? What does the padding do, what does the margin does.

It overall stacked up incredibly against all its competitors. Its customer service, simple to use format, and ease of implementation were hard to beat. We got up and running in about 6-8 months and it was right on schedule for implementation. It's feature set was smaller then it's competitors but even at first glance it was much easier to use for the amount customization it contained. We considered factors when purchasing like ease of use, adaptability, and look/feel overall as a product. No product came close to LumApps on these features.
