MangoApps vs.
Why Companies Choose MangoApps Over Simpplr
Simpplr is a lightweight intranet that works best for companies looking for a simple, out-of-the-box solution with minimal customization. However, for organizations that need a fully customizable, deeply integrated, and scalable platform, MangoApps is the superior choice.
Originally built on Salesforce, Simpplr is now migrating to AWS, requiring a major rebuild and data transfer by the end of 2025—diverting focus from key roadmap improvements.
MangoApps, which has been operating on AWS architecture for over a decade, provides true intranet functionality, seamless integrations, advanced content management, and built-in collaboration tools—capabilities where Simpplr falls short.
Customization & Branding
Simpplr Has Limited Customization
Simpplr’s Salesforce-based architecture restricts customization, offering only basic branding options like colors and logos. Customers often complain that all Simpplr intranets look the same, with no support for custom layouts, CSS, or HTML.
While its AWS migration may improve flexibility, the platform currently prioritizes simplicity over customization.
MangoApps Is Fully Customizable
MangoApps provides full control over your intranet’s design, allowing custom layouts, dashboards, branding, and CSS/HTML customization.
Many customers say their intranet feels like a fully branded internal tool, seamlessly integrating with their organization’s identity.
Collaboration & Communication
Simpplr Lacks Many Key Features
Simpplr is not a fully realized collaboration tool. It provides content sharing but lacks key collaboration tools like chat, forums, project management, and team workspaces. Customers must rely on third-party integrations like Microsoft Teams or Slack.
While their AWS migration may speed up feature development in the future, they remain behind in many areas.
MangoApps Includes Everything You Need
MangoApps is a true digital workplace that intranet, chat, workspaces, project management, and file collaboration in a single platform. Employees can communicate and collaborate seamlessly without switching between multiple tools, ensuring a fully integrated experience.
Search & Content Governance
Simpplr Lacks Key Content Management Functionality
Users frequently report poor search relevance in Simpplr, making it hard to locate important content. Additionally, content governance is rigid, with a fixed six-month review cycle and no automated content lifecycle management.
Without a robust system for governance, a modern intranet can wind up as cluttered and difficult to use as your outdated SharePoint site.
MangoApps Delivers Smart Search & Automated Governance
MangoApps features AI-powered search for fast, accurate results across all company knowledge. Our automated content governance tools ensure content is regularly reviewed, archived, or updated based on flexible rules you define—keeping your intranet fresh and easy to navigate.
Implementation & Support
Simpplr's Onboarding Can Feel Rushed
Many Simpplr customers, particularly small and mid-sized organizations, report feeling rushed through implementation, with onboarding that isn’t tailored to their specific needs.
MangoApps Offers Personalized Support
MangoApps provides dedicated onboarding and customer success resources to help every organization get the most from their intranet. We tailor our implementation plans to fit your unique structure and workflows—ensuring a smooth transition.
