Poppulo Reviews & Product Details

Poppulo is a quality platform that's user friendly and makes life easier for internal comms practitioners. The analytics are a key part of the appeal, likewise the access to industry benchmarks. My favourite features include dynamic content (target articles within a newsletter to a specific audience), personalisation, automatic resend to non-openers and the ability for readers to like, rate and comment on content. The team provides a very good level of support and the new AI agents sound promising. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be helpful if the analytics included dwell time. I'd also like to see better options for embedding video, and new functionality for gifs, e-cards etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Poppulo has been instrumental in refining our internal comms strategy. The ability to send comms to targeted audiences, along with the great newsletter templates, has been incredibly beneficial for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, I’m very happy with the platform. However, there are times when formatting content to look exactly the way I want can be challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Allows targetting segments, content management accross departments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Expensive, less strong for "knowledge management". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
