Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Data Protection Officer

Weighted verdict

External data protection officer for several mid-sized employers. Reads the DPA and the subprocessor list before the feature pages: where push notifications, translation and the AI assistant send employee data, how long messages and read receipts are kept, how voluntary use on a private phone stays voluntary, and whether the parent company sits under a non-EU law that reaches the whole workforce's data.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Reach & targeted announcements

How this is scored

How a message reaches every employee: a news feed and announcements on phone, browser and shared devices, targeting by site, department, role and language, access for staff without a company email address (invite codes, phone number, personnel number, QR codes, kiosk or shared devices), push notifications, mandatory reading with read confirmation, urgent alerts, scheduled posts, and reach analytics per message and audience.

0 — Not a communication tool; the company cannot publish news or announcements to employees in the product.

3 — A news feed or announcement channel for employees with company accounts; targeting, access without a company email address and reach figures are basic or not described.

5 — News and announcements targeted by group, site or role, delivered to a mobile app with push notifications and to the browser, employees without a company email address able to log in, and views or reach shown per post.

8 — Targeting by site, department, role and language from HR data, login documented for staff without email or company devices (personnel number, SMS code, shared devices), mandatory reading with read confirmation and reminders, urgent alerts that override quiet settings, scheduled and multi-channel posts (app, email, intranet, screens), and reach analytics per audience.

10 — Reach that can be proved: delivery and reading tracked per channel against the whole workforce, offline access and low-bandwidth delivery documented, crisis messages with acknowledgement and escalation, aggregated reports exportable, and the reach analytics described with the data they use.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

Push notifications reach the workforce in real time, posts can be pre-produced and released on schedule through an editorial plan, and the campaign function confirms receipt of important instructions. Targeting runs through smart groups with automatic assignment and role-based visibility of posts, the app covers iOS, Android and common web browsers, staff without a company email address are included in the directory, and an admin dashboard with analyses serves the communication. We found no public information on urgent alerts that override quiet settings, on reach figures broken down per audience, or on shared devices for staff without their own phone. 2 5 9 1

Pages, documents & knowledge

How this is scored

What employees can look up: intranet pages and a content management system, documents and policies with versions and owners, search across content and connected systems, a people directory and org chart, multilingual content with machine translation of posts and pages, content review and expiry, and access from the app as well as the browser.

0 — No pages or documents; the product carries only messages that scroll away.

3 — Files or simple pages can be shared; search, translation, a people directory and content governance are basic or not described.

5 — Pages and a document area with permissions, search across the content, a people directory, content available in the mobile app, and posts or pages translatable into several languages.

8 — A content management system with templates, page ownership, review dates and versioning, search across connected systems (SharePoint, Google Drive or similar), automatic translation of posts, pages and comments into named languages, an org chart from HR data, and pages readable offline.

10 — Knowledge that stays current: content lifecycle and expiry enforced, search and AI answers that cite their sources and respect permissions, analytics on what is searched and not found, accessibility of the content stated against WCAG, and a full export of pages and documents.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

A company wiki can be run without a separate content management system, a document library holds handbooks and plans, an integrated search finds files, an employee directory is included, and everything works on phone and desktop. Posts and chats are translated in real time by artificial intelligence into over 100 languages, and knowledge can be recorded as audio or video podcasts. We found no public information on page ownership, review dates or versioning, and no org chart built from HR data. 10 2 9

Engagement, surveys & onboarding

How this is scored

How the workforce answers back and gets started: comments, reactions and moderation, employee surveys and pulse checks with anonymity rules, recognition, user-generated posts and communities, onboarding journeys for new starters including those without a desk, event and campaign pages, and the measures the vendor offers to report engagement.

0 — One-way only; employees cannot react, comment or answer in the product.

3 — Likes and comments on posts; surveys, moderation and onboarding are basic or not described.

5 — Comments and reactions with moderation, surveys or polls sent to targeted groups with results shown, employee posts or communities, and an onboarding area or journey for new employees.

8 — Pulse and engagement surveys with a stated anonymity threshold, automated onboarding journeys timed from the start date and reaching new starters before their first shift, recognition, communities with moderation rules, and engagement reported per group without exposing individuals.

10 — Listening that leads to action: survey results tied to follow-up tasks and published back to the workforce, anonymity and minimum group sizes documented, onboarding journeys measured by completion, and engagement data exportable for analysis.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

Surveys are described as anonymised with direct evaluation and results exportable to Excel or Google Sheets, employees can react with likes and comments and gather in channels and group chats, and celebration effects mark anniversaries and birthdays. Welcome manuals, video messages and tutorials can be provided in the app for new starters. We found no public information on moderation of employee posts, on timed onboarding journeys, or on a stated minimum group size protecting anonymity in survey results. 9 2 10 1

Works council, private phones & privacy by design

How this is scored

Whether the product can be rolled out under German co-determination and data protection: guidance or a template for a works agreement (Betriebsvereinbarung, § 87 BetrVG), no individual performance or behaviour monitoring by default, read and usage analytics aggregated or configurable, use on private phones without a company device (BYOD) with work and private data separated, quiet hours and availability settings, voluntary use without an employee email address, data minimisation and deletion, and accessibility.

0 — Built to monitor the behaviour or performance of individual employees, with that monitoring sold as a feature.

3 — A general GDPR statement; works council, use on private phones, analytics on individuals and quiet hours are basic or not described.

5 — Use on private phones described with what the employer can and cannot see, analytics shown in aggregate, notification or quiet-hour settings, and works councils or employee representatives named as a topic with information offered.

8 — A works-agreement template or checklist published, individual tracking off by default or switchable per tenant, read confirmations limited to messages that require them, quiet hours enforced, a login without a private email or phone number, data minimisation and deletion periods stated, and accessibility to WCAG or BITV stated.

10 — Co-determination built into the product: every analytics view and its granularity documented for the works council, configuration logged, employee-facing privacy notices in the app, minimum group sizes for every report, and published references of works-council-approved rollouts.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

Works councils get a dedicated page, a free ebook and a whitepaper with legal assessments from the works constitution act plus a practical checklist, and use on private devices is explicitly supported with an app screen lock. The vendor describes a centrally administered closed system in which roles prevent surveillance, read confirmations are requested formally, deletion rules are stated, and accessibility is documented against BITV 2.0, BFSG, BGG and WCAG with regular screenreader tests by a blind tester. We found no public information on quiet hours or on a works-agreement template, and the published technical measures state that pseudonymisation is currently not implemented. 3 4 2 5 8 11

Integration, identity & administration

How this is scored

How the product fits the company's systems and is run: Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Teams and Google Workspace integration, user provisioning from the HR system or directory (Entra ID, SAP SuccessFactors, Personio, Workday), single sign-on and SCIM, roles and admin rights by site or department, an API and webhooks, integrations with shift planning and payroll for frontline links, white-label apps, and an export of content and users when leaving.

0 — Stand-alone with manual user lists and no integration of any kind.

3 — Users imported from a file and a few links to other tools; single sign-on, provisioning and an API are basic or not described.

5 — Single sign-on with named identity providers, users provisioned from a directory or HR system, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace integration, several named integrations, and a documented API.

8 — Automated provisioning by SCIM or HR connector including staff without email, delegated administration by site or department, integration in Microsoft Teams and SharePoint, connectors for named HR, shift and payroll systems, webhooks, a white-label app option, and an audit log.

10 — Runs as part of the company's systems: a public developer platform with versioned API and SDKs, every integration documented, a status page and stated SLA, and a full export of content, users and analytics that a successor system can import.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

Single sign-on and user management with Azure AD as well as SharePoint or intranet integration are offered as options, users can be imported from Datev, Sage, Abacus, SAP, Personio or CSV files, and connections exist to shift planning systems plus a digital mailbox for payslips from Datev, Sage and Abacus. An App-Superior rights tier sits between users and admins for multi-site companies, permissions run from author to administrator, and the Professional version is a custom-branded app under the customer's name in the stores. We found no public information on a documented API, SCIM provisioning, webhooks or an audit log. 2 5 4

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Who the contracting entity and the parent company are, where employee profiles, messages, files and usage data are hosted, and who the subprocessors are (hosting, push notifications, email and SMS delivery, video, translation, AI models, analytics, support). Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; an employee app holds data on the whole workforce, often on private phones, so the whole chain counts, not only the database.

0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and no data processing agreement offered.

3 — A privacy policy and a data processing agreement exist, but hosting location is unstated or non-EU and the subprocessors are not listed.

5 — EU hosting available and an EU contracting entity or EU representative, but parts of the chain (push delivery, translation, AI, email, analytics, support) run through non-EU providers without a stated safeguard.

8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, subprocessors listed with their locations, a data processing agreement published, and security certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2) stated.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, entity, hosting and every subprocessor, or self-hosting on the customer's own servers, data export and deletion documented, and certifications published with their scope rather than implied.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

The contracting entity is a German GmbH with a Stuttgart register number and German VAT ID, hosting is stated as Frankfurt with ISO 27001 certified data centres, a data processing agreement is offered, and the technical and organisational measures are published including AWS as hosting subprocessor. The privacy policy lists service providers with addresses, naming AWS Inc. of Seattle, Cloudflare Inc. and Netlify Inc. of San Francisco, while the security page states operation without subprocessors outside the EU, and the measures do not state which AWS entity is the contracting party. We found no public information on the provider behind the artificial-intelligence translation of chats and posts, or on the push delivery chain. 6 4 8 7

Pricing transparency

How this is scored

Whether a buyer can compute the real annual cost from public pages alone: price per user or per employee, whether frontline and desk staff are priced differently, platform or base fee, which modules (intranet, employee email, surveys, translation, AI, a white-label app) cost extra, minimum seats and term, and setup and onboarding fees.

0 — No public prices at all; every customer is a sales call.

3 — A starting price or a free tier exists, but how cost scales with users, modules or a branded app is unclear.

5 — Tiers are public with their per-user or base price and main inclusions, but at least one commonly needed piece (frontline users, translation, a branded app, extra modules) is unpriced or "on request".

8 — Every tier priced publicly with its scaling rule (per user, per frontline user, per active user), add-ons and a branded app priced, minimum seats and term, setup fees and VAT treatment stated.

10 — Complete price computability: annual cost derivable for a given headcount and module set, with every add-on, setup, support and branded-app fee and the cancellation and data-return terms published.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

The pricing page names an Essential and a Professional package with their inclusions, a minimum of 40 licences, and the model of a one-time setup fee plus monthly cost per employee, but shows no prices: concrete costs are stated to come only with an individual quote. The only numbers published are a market overview of between 5 and 25 Euro per user and month, which the page frames as typical for intranet solutions rather than as the vendor's own prices. A buyer cannot compute an annual cost from the public pages. 5 1 9
