Employees can also submit poll suggestions - Idea Submission and voting UI - Site Directory -Breadcrumbs\! Key differentiator: Authoring experience for content creators. Origami will provide guidance and a starting point for article pages and news pages. The template goes beyond page layout structure and provides in-page guidance to make authoring less about formatting content and more about what the content needs to provide to readers. This will reduce friction for others in the org to contribute content and accelerate their time to publish, usually an issue for successful adoption. > > **Cons**: As most Intranet in-a-box solutions, it is using the classic publishing site template and the underlying features it provides. It will be interesting to see how the solution evolves to support modern sites and/or enhance the experience by incorporating modern communication sites and hub sites into the mix. > > I have seen demos of the product and have received response to questions regarding functionality and architecture of the solution as we explored Origami as an option to enhance the experience as we thought of upgrading our existing Extranet portal. The team behind Origami has over 10 years of experience in SharePoint and it shows on the solution and their attention to detail. As described by the team, for a typical implementation they work with you to define Information Architecture, visual aspects, etc. Once those have been ironed out, a deployment can be completed in less than an hour. ----- ### "review by CEPI" — 5.0/5 > **Claire** | *4 March 2024* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to deploy and implement, great proactive customer service, nice look and feel on the intranet > > **Cons**: such webparts such as the calendar has limited functionalities so we cannot integrate our org-wide calendar with this Origami part and perhaps would be great to have some consistency in webparts (we cannot have automated generated news from a site on the carousel with expanding links webpart for instance, but we can have this feature on the news banner..) > > very good so far, extremely intuitive and great customer service support whenever needed. ----- ### "Origami customer service is best in class" — 4.0/5 > **Issbah** | *29 July 2022* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Software was easy to implement with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] help. > > **Cons**: Banners and columns have some limitations > > Great experience with Origami's service, specifically \[SENSITVE CONTENT\]. He was there to help us as we needed and walked us through all the steps. ----- ### "Elevating Our SharePoint Intranet Experience" — 5.0/5 > **Colleen** | *31 May 2025* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Transformed our intranet into a user-friendly, website-like environment Drag-and-drop layouts and professionally designed templates for unparalleled flexibility Seamless integration on top of SharePoint—no infrastructure overhaul required Responsive designs that adjust automatically to any device Exceptional customer service: \[sensitive content hidden\]provided prompt, personalized guidance every step of the way > > **Cons**: We haven’t encountered any drawbacks so far; setup was straightforward and support remains top-notch > > Origami’s SharePoint add-ons have transformed our intranet into a user-friendly, website-like experience. The drag-and-drop layouts and professionally designed templates offer far more flexibility than standard SharePoint—there simply is no comparison. Page creation feels intuitive, updates take minutes, and responsive designs look great on any device. Customer service is outstanding: \[sensitive content hidden\] was always prompt, providing personalized guidance whenever we needed it. Between the range of design options and Origami’s seamless integration, we’re fully satisfied. If you want a more engaging, flexible intranet, Origami is the clear choice. ----- ### "Origami Connect - SharePoint Experts" — 5.0/5 > **Marcia** | *12 October 2024* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Origami Connect was invaluable. Their expertise, experience, and understanding helped transform a SharePoint Intranet that had yet to move forward after several years into a usable, appealing Intranet for our staff. Introducing SharePoint to a healthcare group can be challenging. Working with Origami Connect helped the adoption move forward quickly. It's not just the design they provide, which is excellent in itself; it is their understanding of a company's individuality and building SharePoint to meet that individuality that really makes a difference. > > **Cons**: I have no cons or complaints. The timeline was excellent, and the support and development were excellent. > > Origami Connect is one of the best SharePoint Designers and consultants available. Building an Intranet can be overwhelmingly challenging regarding the basic understanding of an Intranet, especially if you don't have on-premises experts or even beginners. Origami Connect provides a solution that starts at the foundation and builds from there. It is not just about buying a template and then saying now what? It is about the time taken to determine what a company hopes to achieve, even if it has no idea itself. Origami Connect takes time to ask the right questions, guides and listens, and provides the foundation and design that builds a usable, appealing intranet for any size company. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/65105/origami?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/65105/origami) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
