I've named products based on what actually holds up, not that ordering.\n\n## What I'd actually recommend, in order\n\n**1. Your existing suite first - SharePoint (M365) or Google Sites + Happeo (Workspace).** If you're already paying for Microsoft 365, SharePoint + Viva Connections is included. It's mediocre-to-fine as a product but free-at-the-margin, and a large share of intranet projects fail on adoption, not features. Same logic for Happeo if you're a Google Workspace shop - it's built natively around Drive/Docs, so search and permissions just work. Start here and only buy something else if this demonstrably fails. ([Oak](https://www.oak.com/blog/17-best-intranet-software))\n\n**2. Simpplr** - the best pick for a genuinely remote, desk-based, all-with-corporate-email team of roughly 200-2,000. Strongest AI search and personalized feeds in the category, fast implementation, doesn't need a dedicated internal comms department to operate. Weakest for frontline/shift workers.
