Enterprise Social Networking (ESN) Software Discussions
I'm trying to use Workvivo for internal communications, but I'm not sure how to engage my team effectively. Any suggestions?
Hi,
I’m researching this for a few transformation teams trying to break down silos between departments. To understand which platforms actually help teams collaborate across functions, I reviewed G2 data in the Enterprise Social Networking (ESN) Software category. Sharing this here so others can learn from real-world usage.
Here are the top tools:
- Workvivo — Best for encouraging cross-team collaboration through social interaction.
- Guru — Best for cross-department collaboration built around shared knowledge.
- DSMN8 – The Employee Advocacy Platform — Best for connecting departments through shared advocacy initiatives.
- Simpplr — Best for collaboration anchored in centralized employee hubs.
- WorkJam — Best for collaboration collaboration between operations and frontline teams.
- Blink — Best for connecting deskless teams with corporate departments.
Anyone using these specifically to improve cross-department collaboration? What’s worked (or not)?
What blocks collaboration more — lack of visibility or lack of incentives?
I’m looking into this on behalf of a few people-ops and internal comms teams that want to move beyond email-heavy communication. I reviewed G2 rankings in the Enterprise Social Networking (ESN) Software category to identify platforms commonly used for company-wide communication. Posting this here to compare notes with others tackling similar challenges.
Here are the top tools:
- Workvivo — Best for company-wide communication with strong engagement features.
- Guru — Best for communicating updates through trusted, searchable knowledge.
- DSMN8 – The Employee Advocacy Platform — Best for amplifying internal messages through employee advocacy.
- Simpplr — Best for structured internal communication across departments.
- WorkJam — Best for communicating with frontline and hourly workers at scale.
- Blink — Best for fast, mobile-first internal communication.
Anyone using these to improve internal communication? What’s been most effective?
What gets more engagement in your org — leadership updates or peer-generated content?
