Modern look and feel and easy to use intranet solution for SharePoint

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

1. 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.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your review, Svetlana! To your point, responsive design is available in our SharePoint 2016 and SharePoint Online version of the solution.

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..)

Reasons for choosing Origami Connect

More easy to use and deploy, as well as better package overall

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.

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.

Reasons for choosing Origami Connect

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.

Excellent to Exceptional. ([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.

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.

Reasons 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)

Reasons for switching to Origami Connect

We went with an provider that had experience and expertise in the deployment that was already within the sharepoint world building off our infrastructure - as we were moving fully to 365 MSoftware.Canadian Base was a positive to this journey too.
