The Intranet built for Google Workspace

Steegle.One vs. Google Sites:

Why Steegle.One is the Complete Intranet Solution for Google Workspace Users

Introduction


Google Sites is a useful tool for Google Workspace users looking to create basic internal websites. It provides a free, user-friendly way to share information and resources. However, for organizations seeking a fully functional, feature-rich intranet, Google Sites alone often falls short. Steegle.One, a dedicated Google Workspace intranet solution, builds on Google Sites’ foundation by adding robust intranet features, customization, and advanced search capabilities, creating a powerful intranet experience. Below, we compare Steegle.One with vanilla Google Sites to illustrate why Steegle.One is the superior choice for Google Workspace users.

Why Steegle.One is the Better Choice for a Google Workspace Intranet

1. Built on the Scalability and Branding Power of Google Sites

Steegle.One enhances Google Sites, allowing organizations to create a scalable, branded intranet that’s easy to manage.

  • Comprehensive Branding: Steegle.One allows companies to apply custom themes, colors, logos, and fonts, making the intranet an extension of the brand.

  • Premade Templates for Rapid Setup: Steegle.One provides ready-made pages and structures for key departments, allowing for quick setup without extensive customization.

2. Intelligent People Management and Employee Directory

With vanilla Google Sites, organizations must manually manage employee directories, which can quickly become outdated. Steegle.One provides dynamic people management, ensuring employee information is current without manual updates.

  • Dynamic Employee Profiles: Automatically updated profiles save time and maintain accuracy.

  • Advanced Search Capabilities: Search by skills, languages, or other attributes, such as finding all managers fluent in Spanish.

  • Affinity Groups: Easily form subgroups, such as AI experts or fan groups, without complex Google Group setups.

3. Real-Time, On-the-Fly Organizational Charts

Standard Google Sites lacks the ability to generate and maintain real-time org charts. Steegle.One includes dynamic org charts that automatically update as team structures change.

  • Auto-Updating Org Charts: Real-time org charts reflect the latest team structures without manual updates.

  • Clear Team Visibility: Employees can easily view reporting lines and team hierarchies, which is especially useful for larger organizations.

• Steegle Share & Drive: Centralized document libraries and advanced Google Drive search.

• Heroes & Celebrations: Employee recognition and celebrations to boost morale.

• Steegle People: Dynamic employee directory and real-time org charts.

• Schedule & News: Centralized events calendar and private news updates.

• Forums: Spaces for discussions and collaboration.

• Security: Built-in privacy and compliance within Google’s infrastructure.

• Responsive Design: Accessible on any device, integrating Google Sites and various content types.

4. Centralized News and Communication Tools for Employee Engagement

Effective communication is essential for intranet adoption, but vanilla Google Sites lacks engagement tools. Steegle.One includes news feeds, newsletters, and employee recognition to keep teams connected.

  • News Feeds and Announcements: Centralized news feed for sharing updates, announcements, and achievements.

  • Employee Recognition: Steegle.One Heroes offers employee recognition features like Employee of the Month, fostering a positive company culture.

5. Enhanced Document Search Powered by Google AI

While Google Sites allows document sharing, it lacks integrated search for Google Docs, which limits access to information. Steegle.One includes advanced search capabilities powered by Google AI, allowing users to search across the entire intranet and Google Docs.

  • AI-Enhanced Document Search: Steegle.One indexes and categorizes documents across file libraries, enabling precise searches even for Google Docs stored within the intranet.

  • Improved Productivity: Quick access to Google Docs and other resources reduces time spent searching, enhancing productivity.

6. Comprehensive Employee Tracking and Location Features

Steegle.One allows organizations to track employee location data, providing insights into remote work status and office assignments.

  • Employee Location Visibility: Easily see where employees are working, whether remote, in-office, or on specific campuses.

7. Optional AppSheet Automation for Workflow Management

For clients needing automation, Steegle.One offers optional Google AppSheet integration for workflows like approval processes or ticketing.

  • Customizable Workflows: AppSheet integration enables workflow automation without additional software.

  • Scalable Automation: Organizations can expand their workflows as needs grow, all within Google Workspace.

8. Security and Compliance Within Google’s Trusted Infrastructure

Steegle.One provides enhanced security and compliance by leveraging Google’s secure infrastructure, ensuring data protection without added complexity.

  • Granular Access Controls: Set permissions by user or department to secure sensitive information for Steegle Tools.

  • Enhanced Data Privacy: By keeping data within Google Workspace, Steegle.One simplifies compliance with data regulations.

Conclusion

For organizations creating a fully functional intranet within Google Workspace, Steegle.One offers a significantly more powerful solution than vanilla Google Sites. While Google Sites provides a basic platform, Steegle.One enhances it with advanced features such as real-time org charts, dynamic employee directories, AI-powered document search that includes Google Docs, and optional AppSheet automation. Steegle.One’s powerful engagement tools, security, and efficiency features make it an ideal choice for organizations seeking to maximize their Google Workspace intranet.

Success Story: Richland School District

Richland School District transitioned 4,000 users from Happeo to Steegle.One, citing Happeo’s rising costs, complexity and underutilization as key reasons for the switch. Steegle.One’s affordability and ease of use better met their needs.


Transitioning to Steegle was a decision driven by both functionality and finance. Their team, pragmatic and attuned, understood our intricate needs, presenting an Internet portal that was not only intuitive but allowed our unique branding to flourish. The well-designed tools enhanced the new intranet’s deployment, making content management a breeze and unveiling hidden talents within our ranks. Their price point was a breath of fresh air from Happeo, providing significant value. Most importantly, our trust was reinforced, knowing our data remains protected within our Google Workspace.
