Best Employee Portal Software Reviews

I want to start a discussion about employee portal software—specifically, tools that streamline internal access to company resources, support communication, and make self-service easy for employees across departments.

These five platforms are currently top-rated in G2’s Employee Intranet category:

Simpplr

Simpplr is built as a purpose-driven intranet with a strong focus on user experience. It helps HR and comms teams manage content, internal announcements, and employee engagement in one unified platform. Smart search, analytics, and personalized content delivery are key features that make it more than just a static portal.

Workvivo

Workvivo combines internal communication and social engagement tools to power a more interactive employee portal. It supports content sharing, company-wide shout-outs, and employee recognition features that help promote company culture alongside daily work updates.

Unily

Unily is designed for large enterprises that need a fully branded, global employee experience platform. It offers multilingual support, advanced publishing tools, and integrations with Microsoft and Google ecosystems. The visual design tools and granular governance features make it a strong fit for corporate environments.

LumApps

LumApps enables personalized employee portals that integrate tightly with both Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. It’s especially effective for knowledge management, onboarding, and surfacing relevant content by role, location, or department.

Microsoft SharePoint

SharePoint remains a foundational option for many companies, especially those already embedded in the Microsoft ecosystem. Its employee portal capabilities include document libraries, workflows, permissions management, and company-wide communication, though it often requires custom setup to reach full potential.

If your team uses one of these tools—or recently moved away from one—what’s been your experience?
