Bridges SharePoint’s Intranet Gaps with a More User-Friendly Experience **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bernard M. | Participant, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** July 15, 2026 **What do you like best about Origami Connect?** It bridges the gap between what SharePoint offers out of the box and what users typically expect from an intranet. Users still need the features available in SharePoint, but they often don’t accept the clunky interface and the limited selection of web parts. **What do you dislike about Origami Connect?** It would be helpful if all the web parts shared a common color palette theme. You can make the web parts look the way you want, but you often end up duplicating the same color settings across different web parts. **What problems is Origami Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?** It offers many of the features users expect from a modern intranet that SharePoint doesn’t provide. It also integrates with Entra ID and Exchange-hosted calendars—capabilities that aren’t available in out-of-the-box SharePoint. On top of that, it delivers these benefits through a licensing model that remains affordable for clients. **Official Response from Yaroslav Pentsarskyy [MVP]:** > Thank you for the 5-star review! Always great to hear Origami is adding value to SharePoint intranet projects without losing the power of SharePoint itself. Your feedback about making a way to apply color palettes globally is really helpful, we've heard it previously and we have it on the roadmap. Thank you for reinforcing what matters. We want the styling to be as effortless as possible. Thanks again for helping make Origami Connect even better! ### 2. Seamlessly Extends SharePoint and Makes It Easier to Use **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mark T. | General Manager Information Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: Seller invite:** Invitation from a seller or affiliate. This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** August 19, 2026 **What do you like best about Origami Connect?** 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. Origami makes SharePoint easier to use **What do you dislike about Origami Connect?** Nothing really. It's limited in what it can do by the foundations of SharePoint but that's nothing to do with Origami **What problems is Origami Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?** It makes our Intranet much more visually appealing and that matters. It also makes it easier to surface the right things to the right people in the right way. **Official Response from Yaroslav Pentsarskyy [MVP]:** > 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! ### 3. Origami Elevated Our SharePoint Intranet with Templates, Integrations, and Support **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospitality | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2026 **What do you like best about Origami Connect?** 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. **What do you dislike about Origami Connect?** We'd love to be able to use AI tools outside of Copilot but I understand that this is not possible due to security. **What problems is Origami Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helped us build really nice SharePoint intranet that's fast and looks great with minimal knowledge of how SharePoint works. **Official Response from Yaroslav Pentsarskyy [MVP]:** > 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. ### 4. Great SharePoint Look and Feel, but Plug-In Downloads Are Tedious **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Human Resources | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) This reviewer's identity has been verified by our review moderation team. They have asked not to show their name, job title, or picture. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** June 01, 2026 **What do you like best about Origami Connect?** 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. **What do you dislike about Origami Connect?** Downloading all 30 of the plug ins individually. **What problems is Origami Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?** It provides specific, tailored customizations that make our SharePoint easier to navigate and improve the overall user experience. **Official Response from Yaroslav Pentsarskyy [MVP]:** > 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. ### 5. Easy Way to Build a Company Website **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Executive Office | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

They have asked not to show their name, job title, or picture. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn **Source: Seller invite:** Invitation from a seller or affiliate. This reviewer was not provided any incentive by G2 for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** June 05, 2026 **What do you like best about Origami Connect?** I like being able to have a company website. **What do you dislike about Origami Connect?** Sometimes it feels like the software isn't user friendly but that could be a SharePoint issue. **What problems is Origami Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?** Being able to house all our company information in a appealing format. **Official Response from Yaroslav Pentsarskyy [MVP]:** > 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.
