August 20, 2018 4.0 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. Pros Origami checks all the boxes expected of an Intranet in a box product to accelerate a SharePoint Intranet deployment: - Navigation with drop-downs and a way to edit links from the home page - Featured content web part for news and other content sources that can be used to highlight items such as blog posts, news article pages, events, etc. - Social features such as likes and commenting for employee feedback - Company events – can show past and future events to highlight key dates and company events - People Directory – Clean, easy to find employees by name, title, skills, etc. - Document Center – Search driven experience based on document properties to find forms, templates, etc. - Classifieds – Gallery view, easy to add a new item for sale - Recognition and Shout-outs - These can be curated and allow for employees to nominate others - Quick Poll – Polling employees for feedback. 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.

The people we have worked with are always extremely responsive, provide great support to work through issues, and are consistently transparent about contracts and pricing. Overall it has been a very valuable asset to our tech stack. Pros I like the amount of customization and design we have been able to create on our sites. We really have gotten much better colleague engagement using this on our internal sites and it has made people more excited to learn and use the new elements we have through Origami. Cons There are very few things I dislike, but sometimes there is a particular element or design I wish I could change a bit more. Alternatives considered [Othership](https://www.capterra.com/p/266602/Othership/) Reason for choosing Origami Connect We did quite a bit of research on other options, but this one fits our needs the best with maximum flexibility.

January 29, 2024 4.0 Working with the team at Origami has been great! Any time an issue has come up with the product, the team worked with us to make sure we fully understood how to utilize the tool and are continuously improving the product features to get us even better options. Pros Origami makes implementation easy! While it doesn't have all the bells and whistles that some other companies offer, it definitely makes the basic SharePoint pages look 100x better. The product is essentially a design plug-in that goes hand-in-hand with the basic SharePoint site. All tools retain the functionality of SharePoint, but the Origami product makes it feel more like a website that just a basic SharePoint site. Cons The ability to customize some tools could be better, but Origami is continuously working to improve features and add more functionality to the solution. From the time we implemented their solution, they have added 4-5 features and significantly upgraded the ones that were already available. Alternatives considered [hubley](https://www.capterra.com/p/185255/Hubley/) Reason for choosing Origami Connect The initial cost of the base product is about half of the cost compared to the other solutions we looked at. Once purchased, we decided to upgrade and have a guided implementation/setup - which ended up being the perfect option for us. Other intranet implementations claim to take 4-6 months, but we were up and running with Origami in less than 3 months! Review Source DC Daniel C. Infrastructure Engineer Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Origami is THE product for Sharepoint" April 16, 2025 5.0 Pros Origami has changed our Sharepoint sites for the better! The customizations that Origami allows has changed our Sharepoint sites to be beautiful & dynamic that caters the content to each specific person! It is so easy to use and install and just an incredible product to upgrade your Sharepoint environment Cons While there are some customizations that could be added for niche purposes, the Origami dev team is always quick to respond on the implementation of new features and always takes feed back seriously. Alternatives considered [Simpplr](https://www.capterra.com/p/168748/Simpplr/) Reason for choosing Origami Connect Origami's staff was so knowledgeable on their product, the implementation was literally 2 clicks of a button and the continual updates along with competitive pricing made it an easy choice.

Internal Communications Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "review by CEPI" March 4, 2024 5.0 very good so far, extremely intuitive and great customer service support whenever needed. 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..) Reason for choosing Origami Connect More easy to use and deploy, as well as better package overall Review Source CI Colleen I. Media and Marketing Manager Government Administration Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Elevating Our SharePoint Intranet Experience" May 31, 2025 5.0 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. 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 Review Source MP Michael P. Digital Communications Officer Government Administration Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Origami elevates our SharePoint intranet" July 4, 2025 5.0 Origami Connect was very easy to use and easy to install. We were able to consult, purchase, and start using Origami all within a week. Origami elevated the look and feel of our newly built SharePoint intranet. The features provided by Origami have been well received by our stakeholders across the organization. Pros Origami Connect provides great value for its price point and product. It's visually compelling and very easy to manage as an addition to your SharePoint intranet. Support is provided for each web part Origami creates so it is easy for users to implement on their SharePoint. Cons At this time, I do not have anything in particular that I like the least about Origami Connect. Some web parts are used a little differently than the web parts provided by SharePoint.

Marketing Director Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Origami Connect a Great Enhancement for Existing SharePoint Sites" December 9, 2025 5.0 Origami Connect was an excellent experience from the sales, to implementation to support - the best experience I have ever had with a software platform. I would highly recommend Origami Connect as an affordable way to enhance your existing SharePoint site. Pros Powerful features that integrated seamlessly with our existing SharePoint site, enabling us to enhance our site much more cost-effectively that buying another intranet platform. Cons Some of the features did not work correctly initially with our existing SharePoint site. However, this was due to how our existing site was set up and Origami had an excellent technical support team that worked tirelessly to get everything working quickly and smoothly.

Provides available Web-Parts that could be reused across the site collection, following the provided User Manual; 2. The team was able to adapt the tools from SharePoint 2016 to our SharePoint2013 environment; 3. Provides modern look and feel for News, People Directory and Announcements, Timeline and other communication features. 4. Does not do additional customization on the environment. Out-of-the box SharePoint features are still available for Power Users for future extensions. 5. The parts fit well with the current processes and business needs for the communications of the Program. We are happy that we involved the Origami team in the requirements gathering process; Cons It needs to provide responsive design capability. May be it was not available only because we were still using SharePoint 2013 version, as well as - it came as a requirement after implementation. Review Source Response from Origami Software Corp June 7, 2018 Thank you for your review, Svetlana! To your point, responsive design is available in our SharePoint 2016 and SharePoint Online version of the solution. AH Annika H.

Having an external team with deep expertise in designing, creating, and launching sites was invaluable to our company. The end results was not only much better than anything we could have done ourselves, but was delivered more quickly and with more ease. Pros The Origami team was an essential piece of how we revitalized our online internal communication platform.

CIO Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Origami Connect - SharePoint Experts " October 12, 2024 5.0 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. 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. Review Source BL Britney L.

Yaro specifically has been an amazing proponent for driving our new Intranet forward - from product-specific support to recommendations for functionality we wish to have - the support has been very much appreciated! Pros The large catalog of web parts that have been developed for use. The wide array of choices provide almost all (reasonable) functionality. Cons Web parts not being removed from the catalog when deprecated or left unsupported. Review Source AO Amanda O. Technical Product Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Origami has exceptional customer service" July 2, 2024 5.0 Pros Since the time we implemented Origami in our SharePoint tenant, I have reached out to support at least half a dozen times with some minor questions and issues and they have always responded immediately and helpfully. \[sensitive content hidden\] is a joy to work with, extremely knowledgeable and efficient. Cons I have no complaints about Origami. Being a long-time SharePoint administrator, I was skeptical at first about adding third party apps to SharePoint and if there would be complications but the installation process couldn't be easier and the performance has been completely reliable and has delighted our colleagues. Review Source CB Chris B. Manager - IT Operations Sports Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Made our Intranet migration possible" May 28, 2024 5.0 Great - Project team were very easy to work with and highly knowledgeable Pros Quick and simple bolt on for SharePoint. Custom web apps providing a richer and more customised experience for our migration to SharePoint Online. Project lead always made time to chat to help design, implement and resolve any issues if there was any. Cons Maybe the reliance on Delve for some web apps. Other limitations are more on the SharePoint side. Reason for choosing Origami Connect Price, simplicity along with a structured project implementation plan. Review Source TM Trish M.

(\[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] , was absolutely exceptional - relationship wise, knowledgeable, flexible, provided examples, and really was our point person through out the journey- always supporting)Our Origami Success Coach/PM was great and really provided guidance, options, experience from other deployments- and really when we as Project Sponsor and my Project Manager- were getting challenged/or struggling- He glad us advice, to navigate, again based on other experiences- and presented at our management meeting- so again we could bring his knowledge and expertise. He was always available....or had quick response to our queries. Pros Options/functionalityEase of useBuilding blocks to create the infrastructure. Cons overall have supported everything - that was shared and delivered.One item- we had understood possibly differently- was that within the document management/policy management- we could track people's review/completion aspect. It may have been how it was presented but was really looking for this feature. ie Privacy training, we need to do it yearly for existing employees.....so wanted folks to go on intranet complete, and this tracks their review/completing as we need 100% of staff. Reason for choosing Origami Connect Communication tool/Document Management /Onboarding features for new staff.Presentation, promoted by \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] , in connecting with the team.Pricing(we had an extensive evaluation tool, that our team of approx 10 evaluated- and scores were close, but really in the is was VERY close between Valor and Origami....bottomline was pricing for us) Review Source AK Arush K. Process Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Transformed our basic SharePoint pages into an engaging Intranet with great UX" May 4, 2023 5.0 We have been able to create and implement a very engaging Intranet site with very high adoption rates. This has solved the business problem of having key organisational documents in various locations without a common place to access and engage. The support during the setup process was beyond expectations which made the implementation very easy. Pros \- A selection of WebParts available to 'plug & play' onto any SharePoint page. - Modern-looking UI and very engaging UX design. - The Staff love it! The intranet launched in my organisation was received with positive feedback and has increased our adoption rate significantly. - Incredibly easy deployment done without any technical expertise. Easy to configure and customise to our needs without any coding. - The 'how-to' manuals and support available during set-up made the process very easy. - Since it was an add-on to existing SharePoint infrastructure it reduced the cost and training requirements of getting a separate 'Intranet' software. - We were able to go from ideation to implementation in a matter of weeks without needing any custom SharePoint development or technical expertise to set up Origami. Cons We have been using Origami Connect for about 4 months now, and nothing major to report at the moment! Review Source IF Ilona F. Application Specialist Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The best support I’ve ever received from any of external product vendors" May 21, 2021 5.0 Pros Analytical approach - Origami took the guesswork out of the equation and helped us figure out what employees want. They organized the survey and used the results to roll out their intranet solution. Overall, the feedback for a new intranet has been pretty positive. Intranet search - What I liked about Origami’s search is that the order of results on the search depends on how often people are using it, so you can see over time what people want to search the most. Site directory – encouraging our users to make workspaces as favourites and to follow them has been helpful to us. In our old intranet, the search function was starting to fail on us, so it was actually good to know that it just works. Customer support – Origami has been absolutely fantastic about their support, it's definitely the best support I’ve ever received from any of the external products that we use. Cons Any problems I’ve been getting to along the way, Origami has been very good to deal with, very prompt. There were a couple of tweaks, but they have added later as an enhancement to the product. Reason for choosing Origami Connect We were growing and needed an intranet to get information at people’s fingerprints as quickly as possible. Our intranet was getting busier and the comms team was struggling with SharePoint. This is when we decided to look for an intranet solution and found Origami. Review Source NM Neil M. Director Program Management Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent add on to sharepoint" March 19, 2024 5.0 Quick, easy, painless. They walked us thru a facilitated implementation process that was well done and served as a great foundation. Pros They were very easy to work with. Their tools added nice features to improve out of the box Sharepoint capabilities. Origami was extremely easy to work with. If we ran into a problem, they had an answer with a few hours. We made a couple suggestions for improvements to the product and they were able to turn them around within a few days and implement them. That was very surprising. Our implementation manager was fantastic, always available and never too busy to help. Cons 3 hour time difference was about the only thing I could complain about. Review Source OG Oscar G. Information Technology Manager Facilities Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Beautiful modern intranet that comes with a well-organized implementation process" December 3, 2021 5.0 We knew we needed a SharePoint intranet, but we didn’t have the time or skillset to create it on our own. Origami provided us with a shortcut to get our goals accomplished. Pros \- Origami is aesthetically pleasing compared to other solutions - Origami was more competitive in its pricing - It is easy to customize - The implementation process was perfect: the schedule, the project management, and brainstorming activity. It helped us visualize what we’re going to build. Without this process, it would have taken way longer to build our intranet, and we might have created something that is not a fit. - Origami comes with a ready-to-go SharePoint template, so you can build an intranet faster with less work - We liked proactive communication from Origami, which is good, especially when rolling out something like this. Cons We didn’t have an intranet before, so getting people out of email to the intranet site was a struggle. Our user adoption is slowly growing, but it’s still on us to drive users and make it a place people want to visit. The site is sometimes slow to load. Reason for choosing Origami Connect \- Origami is aesthetically pleasing compared to other solutions - Origami was more competitive in its pricing - It is easy to customize Review Source KB Karin B. Manager, Communication Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fantastic in-the-box SharePoint intranet" July 12, 2022 5.0 Origami Connect provides outstanding customer service. Whenever I contact them with a question, they are quick to come up with a viable solution. I highly recommend their product and services. Pros We've used this software since 2019 and it continues to serve our organization well. It was easy to set up and use. The software is consistently updated to add more functionality, which is very helpful. Cons We have not had any serious issues with this software. Most problems arise due to the nature of SharePoint and not Origami Connect. Review Source CM Chad M. VP Information Technology/E-Banking Banking Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Choice for an Intranet Provider" June 16, 2023 5.0 Working with Origami was great! We had a few goals and objectives we wanted to satisfy with our Intranet but we didn't know the best way to implement them. Origami was there to help guide us to deliver the content in the most effective way or give us options to choose from. We even came across a few bugs that Origami had fixed either same day or within a few days!Many intranets offer services based on a monthly, per-user fee. We were really looking for a system that allowed us to use our SharePoint licensing without additional costs after implementation. We loved the Origami solution because after implementation we could simply maintain the site ourselves or choose to continue working with Origami if needed. Pros During implementation we chose to go with a dark mode theme which Origami hadn't really done in the past. Rather than tell us no, they were excited to try it and see how it came out. They even created several mocks up for us to choose from until we found the that fit us best. Origami's various apps let us setup an intranet that allows our employees to find the data they need as well as be interactive to help increase engagement. Cons Definitely need to have a dedicated team as it can be a lot of work for just a few individuals.
