Easy Breezy – For Admins and Users Alike!
Overall, working with LumApps every day is a breeze. It is nowhere near as difficult or arcane as other platforms I have used or administered. The LumApps team is full of nice and helpful people as well.
PROSAs 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.
CONSThe page-building interface can sometimes be very slow and very RAM-intensive, bringing page editing to a crawl.
Reason for choosing LumApps
Ease of use for both the administrators and – most especially – for the end-users.
Reasons for switching to LumApps
Our intranet was long overdue for a total overhaul. We had also grown exponentially since we started using Google Sites, and our resources and information library had also swelled. We needed a more powerful, more engaging, and easier-to-use product.

Migrating content, updating content
It allowed us to design a Visual Identity compliant site which Google Sites didn't. It has some good features and some annoying oversights / issues.
PROSIt took a bit of used to as a non-IT person when migrating from an old Google Sites instance. But the original set of widgets met our needs.
CONSDeprecated widgets seem to suit you rather than us. Old Google Sites had a Table of Contents which allowed you to link to a specific item on a page, this doesn't exist in Lumapps. Moving widgets in Edit mode requires multiple drag and drop actions and/or reducing Browser size to perform. The Style settings are not good - can't delete old trial setting and can't update a setting you have saved. No scrolling text widget or functionality. The drop down lists in the left hand panel are set to a number of options then stop displaying so you have to type the first letter of option you want for them to show.
Reason for choosing LumApps
See above for Google Suite. Atlassian layout was considered too rigid for an intranet.
Reasons for switching to LumApps
When Google introduced the new Google Sites, it was much less adaptable than the old sites and there was a limit on themes. As a Creative agency, this was a blocker.

A digital Workplace with Social Features
Lumapps is a digital workplace with social features designed for G-suite, it´s interface is userfriendly and Google like. The intranet provides social and collaborative tools, and it´s easy to manage as it´s based on widgets, modular with G-suite features. The platform allows employees to discuss, like and share topics. It helps easily and fast distribute company information and the directory feature is nice and useful. The CMS menu is easy to use with no specific IT knowledge, you can train other co-workers and decentralize the content management by giving permissions and restrict visibility for certain groups. The fact that you can use content templates and standardize processes makes it lot easier. The support team is responsive, always ready to help and find solutions. A cons is that image/graphics upload is difficult to find the correct size to make the image look nice.
PROSIt´s layout and navigation is easy and user friendly. It covers a wide range of possibilities to share and create content. It´s employer directory is stylish and useful.
CONSThe backoffice is not easy to organise and filter. The analytics is poor and mobile app has to improve and needs to be have similar features as the web version.
Reason for choosing LumApps
It´s a Google recommended platform. User friendly interface

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.

GREAT PRODUCT OVERALL BUT GET READY FOR SOME QUIRKS AND KINKS
With LumApps? Great. But the implementation consulting firm you forced us into was horrible, disappointing and they are just plain bad at their jobs. If I had to go back and make the decision myself, that would be a deal-breaker. Forcing us into a $30K implementation consulting firm contract that did nothing to help was like setting money on fire. Totally useless and disappointing.
PROSI love the design of the product. I'm a sucker for Google Material Design. I also love the permissions features. Managing content is also a breeze with the permissions workflow and the timing features on content are wonderful.
CONSI understand that the software has to be rigid in many ways because of the permissions but designing in the software requires way too much CSS. Simple features like choosing the layout of your sub-menus, custom colors, or basic layout is clunky or non-existent. The end-user experience is great but it feels like little thought went into the administrative user experience. Overall, that is disappointing.

Bringing Our Company Together
When our team members were surveyed, their top two complaints centered around the company's inability to leave behind old silos and bring the best together. We are making strides in this area and simply seeing synergies because there is now a common place to communicate. We have most recently launched our new combined Values and Culture Statement for the company via our digital workspace on LumApps and it has given it a "home" that highlights all the current team member stories being showcased.
PROSThe ability to have one platform for communication and collaboration across an enterprise, built via acquisition, with 20,000+ team members in 30+ countries.
CONSThe ability to customize images is a bit cumbersome, but it also takes a shift in mindset in how/why your company creates imagery with relation to communication.

Review of LumApps
Maybe it's a cultural thing, but I am frustrated with their customer service and turnaround time for a ticket. If I make a feature request like 'my html table is not showing up right on mobile', the answer is never 'let us see how we can fix that'. The answer is usually 'you aren't using the platform correctly' or 'we don't believe that is important to a user.' Then, if the request goes into development, the answer is 'I will be unable to give any kind of date when you can expect this feature to be fixed.' It's a real turn off. It almost seems like Lumapps is only focused on building what they think is cool on their own timeline. The customer's needs just aren't a priority. For this reason alone, I am not sure if I could be confident recommending this to another potential customer. Jeez, just be open to our suggestions and timely about fixing them, and communicating with us when they will be fixed. Also, a 6-week sprint is not a sprint. It's a fast walk, and it is not agile.
PROSIt's pretty and reasonably easy to use.
CONSWe're getting lots and lots of feature requests. Usually not big lifts (I think one of the biggest asks we've had involves QR codes), but things like making the HTML responsive in mobile.

LumApps is extremely customisable!
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
PROSLumApps 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.
CONSLumApps 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.
Reason for choosing LumApps
Google Sites doesn't have an API and isn't very extensible. LumApps allowed us to build out other things.

LumApps, the less intuitive tool for both users & administrators
Perhaps that there are a lot of widgets... which at the end ends up being a handicap because some of them are not useful and can't be never used.
CONS- Not a responsive website. It's a nightmare to design an image and post it so that you can see it ok in every device! - They told us there would be an app coming soon 2 years ago and we are still waiting. The company where I work has a lot of employees that work in production centers and don't have a computer, so in the end, we still communicate mostly via offline. - Sometimes, there are errors while creating a page that are inexplicable. That means that help from technicians is needed but they take to long to sort out the problem. - You lose a lot of time uploading content. I am also the web admin of another website and it takes me less than half of the time to publish something on that website than on lumapps. One of the main reasons is because Lumapps is not really prepared for multilanguage. - When there are a lot of people logging in at the same time the connection is really slow and sometimes the website doesn't even respond. - It is difficult to connect it with Google Analytics. In our case, we have 7 UA codes and 2 GTM codes on Lumapps and the technicians don't know where they come from... The analytics from Lumapps is also really poor...

1 year with LumApps
With LumApps we are trying to bring 60,000 people in the same place in order to reach them all with relevant messages from the group and in order to provide them with a platform where they can share best practices and learn more about what other parts of the business are working on. However, LumApps is very good for top-down messages, it's harder to allow people to share best practices or to allow them to decide what content is most relevant for them resulting in lower levels of engagement than expected.
PROS- Easy to create new sites and pages - Easy to create different content for different GROUPS of audiences - Helps to bring together different functionalities (e.g. top down messages and communities) in the same place
CONS- No or minimal opportunity for users to customize the content themselves, e.g. give the users the possibility to select what they what to see in the homepage - Some features are too basic, e.g. newsletter (not possible to customize the sender)
Reasons for switching to LumApps
Too old looking, little features offered --> need to use different platforms for different purposes --> more platforms --> more costs. LumApps helped to save some money.

It works
Not worth the money in my opinion. I hope to push our organization to change to something else.
PROSThe software is generally fast and works. Good for top-down communications.
CONSNot good as an egalitarian communications platform. Usability is low. Impossible to display all comments at one time without having to click "show more" a bunch of times. And then you may still need to click the "X replies" link next to some comments to see everything. This causes people to miss comments and and makes the whole experience clunky and inconvenient. Scrolling if areas in scroll areas? That is a usability nightmare. Text formatting options for comments are poor. Hard to make page layouts that make visual, don't waste space, and don't force items into little boxes.

In my experience it is a creative system with a lot of potential, with some improvements it can be the ideal intranet of any company or organization.
PROSIts adaptability and usability is excellent. Lumapps can also include all users with specific licenses, and allows editing. Collaborative work is possible with this system, something very important in companies, and also has a nice image and potential uses.
CONSThe slowness of the system, and the little information (tutorials, blogs, etc.) in other languages (Spanish for example)

It's the technical that makes or breaks it
I think it's a little bit like over promise and under deliver. I also think that there is an issue with language. Some things are lost in translation as people are not native english speakers. Plus I think you should have a portal that all issues / upgrade requests go in - that custs put in, as we have no idea what actually gets raised / if a ticket gets raised or not. The tech team should see exactly, thru one portal, what custs say the issues are. Tech team can then add commenst etc.
PROSOn the face of it, it does what it says on the tin - almost
CONSThat the technical issues are hard to iron out / get to the root cause. Cust does not get to speak to someeone who is the real techie guy

Interactive and fun
Lumapps is dynamic and fun. It's a very positive change from our previous, more static intranet. Yet, it needs to have quicker loading times and better notification service to become as interactive and engaging as we would like.
PROSI like that Lumapps has an ambition to making intranets fun.
CONSLumapps reminds me a lot of Facebook in its design and some functions. I as a user am used to (or spoiled with) the speed and power in Facebook, which Lumapps lack. Therefore, expectations aren't met which often create some frustration. Mainly, loading times are way too long.
