To keep up with the competition, it is important for businesses (both large and small) to have a company intranet site. Whether this site is for internal use or external use, every company needs a central document repository, a home for the employee directory and discussion boards, and a place to keep track of project files. A company intranet fills those roles, and provides a platform for collaboration. A quick Google search, however, shows that there are dozens of different intranet sites, all with varying features and price points. It can be an overwhelming task to make sense of them all, and many people refrain from choosing an intranet solution simply because they can’t tell them apart.
Well, we’ve decided to make that process just a bit easier. Below is a table compiling 9 of the most popular Intranet services you (probably) already know, and their respective pros and cons:

As you can see from the exhaustive list above, many of the Intranet sites share similar features and benefits, but there are definitely a few that stand out as affordable, functional, highly customizable, and easy to use. Depending on your needs and price range, we at Code A Site recommend either SharePoint, or Kentico to be your intranet service provider.
Kentico or SharePoint?
Though Kentico and SharePoint are both great company intranet choices, each one works best under specific circumstances. Are you looking for a powerful on-premise intranet solution that is easy to set-up and manage? Are you hoping to use your intranet service as not only your company intranet platform but also as your website? Have you thought about using add-ons for e-commerce or online marketing? If you answered yes to these questions, Kentico is right for you.
On the other hand, does your company have an existing Office 365 subscription? Are you looking to do more with business process automation or custom search? Or have you ever been worried about your document security or run into any compliance issues? If so, SharePoint’s breadth of advanced features and expansive add-on library can’t be beat!
