It's a bit of a hassle.
You need to create pages for EVERYTHING. Even with templates, that doesn't sound sustainable. The overhead of managing pages at scale becomes a job in itself—and your team feels it.

Is Axero a good Happeo alternative?
Yes. Axero brings the intranet essentials plus the depth to grow into them: document management, workflow automation, custom app building, and customization that runs from drag-and-drop to full code. It's one platform that scales as you do, running in Axero's cloud or self-hosted on your own infrastructure.

Why Happeo falls short
Happeo has its limits.
Don't settle for the bare minimum.
It's just… what?
No chat, no badges, no cases, no tasks, no local calendars. So what is it, really? When you strip away the missing pieces, you're left with a platform that can't quite answer the question of what it's for.
A quick fix never really lasts.
All the basics are enough to kick the ground running. But wait until you want to scale and customize… That's when the cracks start to show and the workarounds pile up.
Why Axero wins
Axero is ready to scale, however you'd like

Questions teams ask when comparing Axero and Happeo
We run on Google Workspace. Does Axero fit a Google-first company?
Yes. Axero integrates with Google Workspace, Google Drive, and Google Calendar, supports Google sign-in and SSO through any SAML 2.0 identity provider, and isn't tied to either Google or Microsoft. Files stay in Drive and appear inside Axero. The intranet adds the communications, knowledge structure, and governance that Workspace on its own doesn't provide.
Does Axero include chat, tasks, cases, and calendars, or do those need separate tools?
They're built in. Axero includes real-time chat, task tracking, case management for help-desk style requests, personal and team calendars, and customizable recognition badges, alongside the core intranet features. Consolidating those into one platform is a common reason teams move from a pages-and-feed product to Axero.
Do we have to build a page for everything in Axero?
No. Axero organizes content in spaces, each with its own news, wiki, files, discussions, calendar, and members, so a department gets a working home rather than a set of hand-built pages. Templates and widgets handle layout, and dynamic widgets pull in content automatically based on who's viewing. Custom pages are available when you want them, not required for every team.
How does Axero handle scale and customization once we outgrow the basics?
Customization goes as deep as you need. Non-technical admins get the page builder and templates. IT and developers get HTML, CSS, JavaScript, custom widgets, webhooks, and REST APIs across 500+ endpoints. Axero App Manager adds custom internal tools built directly on the intranet. Permissions are granular, so expanding to new business units or regions doesn't mean starting over.
Can Axero be self-hosted?
Yes. Deploy in Axero's cloud or self-hosted on your own infrastructure. Axero is SOC 2 Type II compliant and its cloud hosting environments are SSAE 16 and ISO 27001 compliant. Details are on the technology and security page.
Don't just take our word for it!
