Haiilo
Stands out: Comms, intranet, and advocacy in one employee-experience suite, aimed at organisations that will buy licences in the hundreds.
Watch out: Quote-only, and the vendor says plans typically start at 500 user licences. A 40-person company is the wrong buyer.
Not the right fit for
- Small companies under a few hundred people
- Buyers who need a public per-user price
- Teams that only need Slack
Workvivo
Stands out: A social intranet with a news feed employees will actually open, now sitting in the Zoom estate for companies already standardised there.
Watch out: Quote-only. Zoom ownership is a procurement fact: you may be buying inside a Zoom conversation, not from a standalone intranet vendor.
Not the right fit for
- SMBs that wanted Slack plus a Google Site
- Buyers who need a public per-user price
- IT teams standardised on SharePoint/Viva and unwilling to add a feed
