Most Recommended Intranet Platforms for Large Corporations

I want feedback from the community on which intranet platforms are working best for large enterprises, especially those with distributed teams and complex internal structures.

I looked into the top-rated options in the Employee Intranet Software category on G2 and narrowed it down to these five. If your company uses any of them, I’d appreciate your perspective:

Microsoft SharePoint

SharePoint is still a go-to for large organizations due to its deep integration with Microsoft 365, centralized content management, and flexible site-building features. It supports granular permissions, compliance needs, and enterprise-wide document collaboration, but typically requires dedicated IT support for setup and customization at scale.

Simpplr

Simpplr is positioned as a modern intranet platform that emphasizes usability and employee experience. It includes built-in communications, analytics, and AI-powered search, which helps cut through the noise in large organizations. It’s a good fit if your company wants to combine top-down communication with employee engagement tools.

Haiilo

Haiilo (formerly Smarp) is a platform that combines internal communications, intranet functionality, and employee advocacy. It’s useful for global enterprises looking to standardize communications across regions and departments. Its targeting and segmentation tools make it effective in delivering the right content to the right teams.

Unily

Unily is an enterprise-grade intranet that focuses on user experience, multi-channel publishing, and advanced customization. It’s often praised for its strong support for multilingual content, mobile access, and integrations with Microsoft and Google ecosystems—ideal for global workforces and hybrid tech stacks.

LumApps

LumApps is built specifically for large organizations and supports both Google Workspace and Microsoft environments. It includes social intranet features, employee onboarding, knowledge management, and personalized content delivery. The platform also offers robust governance and branding controls for enterprise teams.

I would love to hear from others managing communications and knowledge at scale about what’s working, what’s not, and what you’d recommend moving forward.
