Why Steegle.One is the True Native Google Workspace Intranet — Unlike Happeo and LumApps

Why Steegle.One is the True Native Google Workspace Intranet — Unlike Happeo and LumApps

The only Google Workspace intranet that keeps your data 100% within your environment, offers true bespoke design, and deploys faster than traditional intranet platforms.


Steegle.One Quick Summary

Quick Summary

  • Steegle.One is the only intranet solution truly native to Google Workspace (confirmed by ClearBox 2025 report).
  • Unlike Happeo, LumApps, Simpplr, ThoughtFarmer, Unily, Powell, and Interact, your data stays inside your Google Workspace — not on external servers.
  • Full design flexibility — no rigid templates or cut-and-paste layouts.
  • Faster deployment by building onto your existing Google environment — no complex rebuilds needed.
  • Ideal for SME, midmarket, and large organisations (10,000+ users) without massive IT teams.

When organisations first look for a Google Workspace intranet or employee experience platform (EXP), they often meet vendors like Happeo and LumApps. These platforms promise a polished experience but hide a frustrating truth:

Platforms like Happeo integrate with Google Workspace but host your intranet data themselves. LumApps, although powerful, is aimed more at huge, knowledge-heavy enterprises with dedicated intranet teams — not typical businesses.

Other names like Simpplr, ThoughtFarmer, Unily, Powell Software, and Interact Software often surface in client searches too, but these solutions are primarily designed for Microsoft 365 environments. Some claim Google Workspace compatibility, yet in practice, they still rely heavily on Microsoft 365 architectures.

ClearBox Consulting's 2025 report makes this crystal clear:

"Many systems reviewed are native to Microsoft 365. Steegle.One is the only solution that is truly native to Google Workspace." [Suzie Robinson, Clearbox Consulting]

— and that makes all the difference.

Unlike these systems, Steegle.One does not require:

  • Building a whole new access control model.

  • Developing separate hosting structures.

  • Moving your data outside of your existing environment.

Instead, we extend your existing Google Workspace — simply, securely, and natively — making deployment far faster and easier than other providers.

Steegle.One: The Only Truly Native Google Workspace Intranet

Steegle.One installs directly onto your own Google Workspace environment.

  • No external hosting.

  • No vendor servers.

  • Full control and compliance.

Every page, every document, every communication stays protected by Google's world-class security standards, within your existing setup.

This is genuine native integration, not surface-level "compatibility".

Why Clients Love Our Flexible, Bespoke Design — Powered by Google Sites

Another common frustration we hear: when companies buy other platforms, all they really get is a “cut and paste” solution.

You change a few logos, thumbnails, or brand colours — but the structure, the layout, the feel — all stay rigidly locked.

With Steegle.One, built using the flexibility of Google Sites, you get real creative freedom:

  • True bespoke intranet designs.

  • Individual page layouts tailored to your business needs.

  • Unique branding, navigation, and user journeys — not just cosmetic tweaks.

  • Modular expansions when you grow.

Whether you want a clean corporate design, a lively social experience, or a focused internal communications hub, Steegle.One can flex to match — without expensive developer fees or "design restrictions".

Our clients consistently tell us how impressed they are at the ability to create an intranet that truly feels like theirs — not a generic template with their logo slapped on.

Not Just for SMEs — Perfect for Organisations up to 10,000+ Employees

Some mistakenly think that Steegle.One is only for small teams. Not true.

We have customers with over 10,000 users, especially those in sectors like:

  • Education

  • Retail

  • Logistics

  • Healthcare

  • Public Services

who need a powerful, flexible, easy-to-manage intranet — but without the weight of big IT departments or armies of content managers.

Other systems like LumApps, Happeo, Powell, Unily, and Interact are designed for complex, heavily IT-resourced, knowledge-based organisations — and often feel like expensive overkill for the rest of the market.

Steegle.One is simple, powerful, and future-proof, fitting your real operational needs without unnecessary complexity.
