What do you like best about Bonzai Intranet?

I like that it doesn't look like SharePoint to our end users and that I never have to brand a SharePoint site again. I love the Bonzai Web Parts: advanced links, feedback, landing, tabs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonzai Intranet?

I dislike that it still acts like SharePoint for our editors, but that's not Bonzai's problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bonzai Intranet solving and how is that benefiting you?

Employees were spending a ton of time trying to find information and sort through what was accurate and what was out-of-date. They can now find everything easily and they trust it's correct. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bonzai Intranet?

In addition to what is considered normal within an intranet, this time something attractive the unification of sharepoint and office, you can create a market network where you can make auctions, purchase and sale exchange, have the innovation of adding the mobile application, something that I think, that can be very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonzai Intranet?

You can not make a free registration, you can only request a demonstration, which takes time to get to know what has or what innovation brings this software. It would be great if they left a free registration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Bonzai Intranet:

should create a free test, where they can perform checks with the parameters of the company to see, if this software is tailored to the needs of the company Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bonzai Intranet solving and how is that benefiting you?

Unfortunately, I have not been able to use this complete application, since I can not register, although it seems to be a good business option, in the communication field it can be a good acquisition, I would like to try a sample of it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bonzai Intranet?

We are in the middle of our intranet installation project, but so far, Bonzai is above and beyond any other vendor I've worked with. The planning, detail, help, and responsiveness from our project team at Bonzai has been nothing short of amazing. Plus, the product rocks! We are so excited to introduce this product to our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonzai Intranet?

We are just beginning the tactical building of our intranet, and it can be a little overwhelming at first, but the training and the resources that they have had put our team at ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Bonzai Intranet:

It's an excellent product and we've been extremely happy with the implementation and the team so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bonzai Intranet solving and how is that benefiting you?

Creating a searchable database for our intranet has been a goal for us for years. We also wanted to have a clean, sleek, and consistent look to all of our intranet pages. Utilizing the News and Events pages will also lessen the amount of emails that our organization sends for employee communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bonzai Intranet?

With a small but mighty project team we were able to get our new Intranet completed in about 8 months. The Bonzai product and their team were excellent to work with during the implementation and continue to provide great ongoing support (although we haven't needed much) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonzai Intranet?

An intranet in a box solution will always have some limitation that doesn't meet your needs so you'll occasionally need to compromise by working within the options available or customize yourself. We've done a bit of both Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Bonzai Intranet:

Allow lots of time for a content audit of your existing intranet, identify and involve your stakeholders early, rely on the Bonzai team's expertise and advice to get you started on your journey but be prepared to take the reins and make it your own, and build out a governance strategy before you go live. And have fun! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bonzai Intranet solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about Bonzai Intranet?

1. Unparalleled Customer Service & support: efficient, effective, personalized, knowledgeable/creative and prompt- always!

2. Delivers on promises consistently, and embodies continuous improvement & innovation.

3. Customer feedback is actually & truly important to them. We've already seen some of our suggestions implemented in new releases! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonzai Intranet?

We've been working with Bonzai since January 2017, and I honestly cannot think of a single thing that I dislike (from project onset to day-to-day operations). We are well taken care of, the product is robust, and it just keeps getting better and better. Choosing them as our Intranet vendor was the best decision we've made, and this is proven true time and time again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Bonzai Intranet:

Start planning your content migration early and find your content champions. The rest will be a breeze once you know what you have, where it will live in the "new world" and who is the owner.

Also, make sure you find those in-house SharePoint specialists/enthusiasts. Basic knowledge of how SP works and how metadata works (and how to use it) is definitely required, even though you will be well supported by the Bonzai Project Team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bonzai Intranet solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. Employee Engagement

2. Extending the intranet to our mobile users (a significant percentage of our workforce)

3. Having a "place for everything and everything in its place" > a single, well-organized, beautifully presented source of truth Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonzai Intranet?

Bonzai intranet currently does not have an offering for discussion boards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bonzai Intranet solving and how is that benefiting you?

Bonzai intranet solution solved the 4 key objectives we were looking to tackle with our intranet.

1. Responsive design - our users are now getting an experience specific to the device they are accessing our intranet from.

2. Personalization - Targeting the content for our associates by role and location has improved productivity and efficiency of our associates.

3. Improved Search Experience - Bonzai search templates have made it easier for our associates to find the information they need to do their jobs.

4. Clean and Modern User Interface - Our intranet no longer looks like SharePoint! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bonzai Intranet?

The Bonzai Intranet product is a collection of web parts you configure and add to your intranet pages. The ease of use and intuitive user experience these bring to SharePoint publishing makes training authors and end users a breeze. The powerful search components and document roll up web parts make surfacing information across the Intranet much easier. The new feature of content targeting is also something we've been wanting for a while now. Bonzai Intranet is continually releasing new versions and new web parts while refining the existing product. This enables us to continually improve our Intranet without the overhead of a large dedicated development team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonzai Intranet?

Most dislikes were centered around SharePoint and access levels needed to configure these web parts. We were adopting SharePoint at the same time we were implementing Bonzai Intranet and the challenges of SharePoint adoption were our main issues The access level required led to governance needs which we have trouble enforcing. This is an issue with SharePoint not the Bonzai Intranet product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Bonzai Intranet:

If you are a SharePoint Shop with limited resources, Bonzai Intranet is a great option. The consulting organization of Bonzai, Dynamic Owl, Is very knowledgeable and pleasure to work with. They can do everything from simple install to planning your Intranet from the ground up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bonzai Intranet solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were re-platforming and redesigning our company Intranet. This project needed to take place in less than a year and involved migrating to the SharePoint 2013 ecosystem as well. Because of the modules available and the ease of use we were able to accomplish this task in the time allotted with a joint IT and Business team of 8 people.

What do you like best about Bonzai Intranet?

We use Bonzai as a great tool to help us manage our intranet by allowing those of us who are not very tech savvy to create content for the rest of the company to see. It helps us manage events, important information, and our employees are able to buy and sell things from each other! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonzai Intranet?

There is almost nothing to dislike about this product. We have been using it for about six months without any issues. It was easy to setup and even easier to manage for a smaller company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bonzai Intranet solving and how is that benefiting you?

Bonzai Intranet offers a greater capability than any other intranet we have used in the past. We went from a standard HTML website to WordPress and were not nearly as satisfied with the end result like we are with Bonzai. It allows greater communication and knowledge throughout our company and is very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
