It takes the functionality of SharePoint and extends it seamlessly. A lot of our users have no idea that Origami is a separate thing to SharePoint - they just think the Origami functions are the premium SharePoint functions.

Nothing really. It's limited in what it can do by the foundations of SharePoint but that's nothing to do with Origami Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Thank you so much for the 5-star review, Mark and for being such a great partner for 6 years now!
'They just think the Origami functions are the premium SharePoint functions', we might actually frame that! Keeping your SharePoint intranet visually appealing and and making it feel completely native for users is exactly what we're after with our SPFx web parts and intranet templates.
Thanks again for staying with us all these years!
I really like the user experience Origami brings to elevate out of the box SharePoint. It integrates with our tools very well, like Entra ID for people and profile information, we also used Powerbi and Linkedin integration . We built our intranet in house with our own team and it was less expensive compared to hiring developers or designers to do the same thing. The built in Origami templates got us 70% there and the support we received from the team was really helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We'd love to be able to use AI tools outside of Copilot but I understand that this is not possible due to security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Thank you so much for this detailed review! We’re all about helping in-house teams build a sleek, user friendly SharePoint intranet. Also, thank you for pointing out the integrations that matter to you. For broader AI capabilities, we are planning integration with other agents to deliver these capabilities securely.
After working through the initial IT roadblocks to get the Site Collection App set up, the plug-ins were very easy to use. They give our SharePoint a more distinctive look and feel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for the review and for sharing your experience with Origami!
The manual installation process you mentioned is typically specific to larger enterprise environments where stricter security and deployment rules apply. That's just how SharePoint is designed. In most tenant-wide deployments, the setup is basically 3 click web installer, super fast.
Really glad to hear the end result helped make your SharePoint easier to navigate and gave it a more distinctive look and feel.
I like being able to have a company website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes it feels like the software isn't user friendly but that could be a SharePoint issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Thank you for sharing your feedback!
Making SharePoint look better and easier to navigate is a big focus for us. We’re glad Origami helped create a more appealing and centralized space for your SharePoint.
We also appreciate the feedback around usability. Since Origami enhances the SharePoint experience by following Microsoft guidelines, broader SharePoint configuration and setup choices can sometimes be a factor. If you notice any specific nagging issues, let us know, as we may already have an update available to address them.
Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review!
