Google intranet social enterprise portal for G Suite users
4.3/5 (19 reviews)LumApps is an intranet for G Suite users designed to streamline corporate communication and collaboration, and improve culture sharing and employee experience. Designed to enrich the Google Cloud experience, LumApps is a holistic intranet platform that houses all corporate content and enterprise tools in one place within G Suite. Officially endorsed by Google, Lumapps concentrates everything businesses need to work: it streamlines communication by opening social channels, applies Google's search function to company materials, and serves targeted information to each user on a central dashboard.
Pros
As an administrator, I love how easy it is for end-users to use and navigate. Even if they don't take the time to navigate through the top-line navigation we have established or take the time to really learn the site, they can find things very easily with the powerful search tool. Likewise, the ability to create easy-to-use lists or newsfeed widgets also improves the user experience. The native Google drive integration is also stellar – if we have stakeholders who frequently change reference materials, it is easy for them to manage a google drive folder I share with them rather than have them come to me daily with changes. The changes they make in the google folder are automatically reflected on the LumApps page with the corresponding files widget, with no intervention necessary from me. Finally, the ability to create email newsletters within LumApps is AMAZING! I use that feature twice weekly.
Cons
The page-building interface can sometimes be very slow and very RAM-intensive, bringing page editing to a crawl.
As partner, I have managed to implement the platform to roughly 5k+ users. I can safely say that they are happy about what LumApps can offer. However some bugs are still giving problem. One of them is the grid system on content creation.
Pros
Consistency and simplicity. It is easy to use, though some aspect requires some basic web development knowledge.
Cons
Some minor bugs and very slow improvement for feature via updates.
It perfectly fits into the GoogleSuite world Imerys entered!
Pros
Get teams together in a dedicated Group (subject, project, language) and enter into dialogue, share files - just connect people.
Cons
I am missing a manual for the Imerys version we use.
Some of the functions are hard to find for unexperienced users (open comments below articles in groups e.g.)
Pros
This software allow us to build very modern intranets without any coding skills. The social aspect is very appreciated for employees because of smart features such as communities.
LumApps is an innovative company, they are realeasing news features and improvements every 6 weeks for all of their customers.
Cons
Sometimes it's difficult to know that some interesting features are available inside the product because they are "hidden". Hoppefully the LumApps support is very reactive and can help us when we have question or issues.
LumApps can be used for so much -- we've seen that it can be extremely customised and built out into something completely new as well as
Pros
LumApps is extremely customisable and full featured. It not only allows people to fully customise the look and feel of their site/intranet, but it also allows them to model page types, how data interacts, and how people may be able to interact with the site.
There are levels of administration and management that allow viewers to behave differently from contributors. Admins may create new possibilities for their users.
Cons
LumApps can be difficult to wrangle under control because of the feature set. There are so many things to configure, manage, customise, adjust, and create that it can be tough to know where to focus. It takes training and experience to roll this out well.
