"Perfect Solution for Academic Display Needs"
What do you like best about Poppulo?

I like how easy it is to manage and control Poppulo. The simplicity and speed at which I can update information, remove old information, and get new information live again is amazing. I appreciate that information can be displayed in seconds and routed to multiple screens at once, so there's no need for printing or hanging, and multiple items can be displayed on one screen. I love that when information expires, it doesn't continue to show, which keeps things relevant to our young viewers. Running all of the screens in one building from the same platform is great.

What do you dislike about Poppulo?

The only thing that's weird is the inability to display .pdf files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-Friendly Platform for Simple Content Display"
What do you like best about Poppulo?

It is a simple and effective digital signage solution for our team. The upload process is straightforward, and the platform displays content cleanly and consistently, which helps ensure our team always has access to timely updates and visual communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Poppulo?

One area for improvement would be content optimization. Since I typically create slides in PowerPoint and then save them as JPEGs to upload, it would be incredibly helpful if the platform could automatically adjust or optimize content for ideal display dimensions—especially for screen resolutions or aspect ratios.

"Good comms tool"
What do you like best about Poppulo?

The performance reports of each comms are helpful in gaging the participation of the receivers of the comm. With this, we know where to put the comms for optimum reach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Poppulo?

Cannot search an individual in the tags section. It would be helpful if it can, to know where an individual is listed in the tags. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effective tool that makes deep audience segmentation possible"
What do you like best about Poppulo?

Poppulo integrates seamlessly with our HRIS data to allow us to target article-level content within our all-staff newsletter. Our internal comms department send content through Populo 4-10 times a week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Poppulo?

The product is pretty plug-and-play in terms of content creation but the included templates within Poppulo have limited customization options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Poppulo Email Software"
What do you like best about Poppulo?

The email planning tools are helpful to plan subject lines and see timing for when communications get sent out. Some of the templates are helpful when trying to build an email from scratch. Distro lists seem to be easily integrated with our HR system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Poppulo?

Poppulo is one of the more challenging internal email platforms to use. Most email builders are drag-and-drop editors, so it's very hard to use when trying to edit elements and takes double the time to create simple emails. The review process can also be challenging, as you have to send a test for everything vs. being able to easily export a PDF. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Heather Bicknell of Poppulo

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on Poppulo. We're delighted to hear that our planning tools, templates, and automated distribution list syncing are helping you keep employees informed and engaged.

We understand your concerns about the email builder. I’m excited to share that we have an update coming soon that we believe will address your needs.

Poppulo has always aimed to balance robust governance and brand controls with user-friendly design. While our original workflows were designed with feedback from the world’s largest companies with strict brand standards, we recognize that some customers would prefer greater flexibility.

This year, we’re reimagining our email builder to provide a more flexible drag-and-drop experience. Admins will still have control over which users can make design changes to ensure consistency. We invite you to join our upcoming customer-exclusive roadmap session to learn more. Please reach out to your CSM for details on the session and other ways to get involved.

In the meantime, your CSM can assist with reviewing your templates to see if changes could be made for more flexibility.

Thank you again for your review. Please feel free to reach out to anyone at Team Poppulo with any further suggestions or concerns.

"Great way to communicate with large number of staff with different shifts."
What do you like best about Poppulo?

How easy is it to load and edit and time out certain information. Also the amount of loads we can add, I appreciate that we can add many at a time.

Access was also easy to implement for our team, which helped get us a better understanding of the system and support from techs, their customer service is the best.

Personally I update in Poppulo every month, sometimes more often, and its extremely user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Poppulo?

The only downside, and maybe its our contract, is that we cannot include slides with movement/sounds or powerpoints to the screen. It is something we would enjoy doing for staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It's becoming better and better with time!"
What do you like best about Poppulo?

It's simple to make elegant newsletters or flash emails in a matter of minutes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Poppulo?

THe image gallery still needs some work. A keyword search or a way to jump to any letter of the alphabet wouls speed things up, specially when you have thousands of pictures in the library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Extremely robust product/company."
What do you like best about Poppulo?

The customer service is top-notch. There are several excellent avenues to get help: the forum, which links to customer service techs, and I have a dedicated Customer Success Manager who is always there to get me what I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Poppulo?

I wish the interaction with other products were easier. APIs are available but seem complicated at best. We just do not have the in-house expertise to get it set up and maintained. Their customer service is great and has helped me on many occasions, but I could never really get it going. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best communications enterprise tool I've used"
What do you like best about Poppulo?

I love the regular newsletters outlining the latest learning webinars, how to better use Poppulo, but also insights from Poppulo themselves such as their own internal communications strategy. Tags are so easy to update, create and delete. Communications are pulled together in a blink of an eye, easy to use, and lots of ways to personalise templates. I started using Poppulo 8months ago and I wouldn't go back to my previous tool, I picked it up very quickly and was able to start using more features quite quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Poppulo?

Sometimes keyboard shortcuts don't work in emails, such as to bold letters. I wish we could set default colours for the text so it saves time.

Analytics are a little harder to understand and pull, especially with newsletters, as the data seems to be messier - perhaps a webinar on understanding data for newsletters could be a suggestion? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
