Small business intranet FAQs
Is an intranet worth it for a company under 100 people?
It depends on the symptom rather than the headcount. If new hires get up to speed by asking whoever is nearest, if the current version of a policy or price list is genuinely hard to locate, or if the same questions reach the same person every week, an intranet pays for itself well below 100 employees. If everyone sits in one room and already knows everything, it probably doesn't yet.
How long does it take to set up without an IT team?
Most small businesses are live in weeks rather than months. Pages are built with drag-and-drop rather than code, so a founder, operations lead, or office manager can maintain the whole thing. Launch Packages pair your team with ours for setup and rollout, which is usually what determines whether it launches at all when nobody's job title says intranet.
Can we start small and grow into it?
Yes, and that's the sensible approach. Start with the one thing causing the most friction — usually a knowledge base for the questions that keep getting re-asked, or onboarding — then add Spaces, task management, and recognition as you need them. Nothing has to be configured up front to get value from the first piece.
What does an intranet cost for a small business?
Plans are quoted against your actual headcount and how you want to deploy rather than sold at a single published rate, so a 30-person company isn't priced as though it were a 3,000-person one. Tell us your headcount and whether you want cloud or self-hosted and you'll get a real number quickly.
Our small business is growing fast. Can Axero scale with us?
Yes — it's the same platform much larger organizations run, so growth doesn't mean migrating. The capabilities you don't need yet, like delegated permissions across departments, SSO with SCIM provisioning, an LMS, and targeted publishing by location, are already there for when headcount and structure catch up to them.
Do you offer any training?
Yes. If you want help getting set up, our Launch Packages work with you to develop an implementation strategy and get your project off the ground. We'll walk you through the platform, provide technical guidance, and help you think through the challenges you're trying to solve, so you get a full picture of how Axero's features map to your goals.
We have a suite of existing tools that we already use — will they work with Axero?
Most likely. The majority of our customers integrate single sign-on across their business applications so their people have one way in. Supported options include Active Directory, ADFS, Azure, SAML, and OpenID, plus providers like Okta and OneLogin and social logins including Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, and X. A full REST API covers anything custom.
General questions about Axero
What if we need help?
All Axero plans include top-level support, free upgrades, and access to our customer community. We also offer Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for customers who need advanced support. Every Axero employee is part of the customer support team — if you're not successful, we're not successful.
Do we get assistance with implementation and onboarding?
Of course. We offer Launch Packages that work with your team to develop an implementation strategy, walk you through the platform, provide technical guidance, and help you use Axero's features to accomplish your goals.
Can we host on-premise, or will you host Axero for us?
We'll host and run your intranet on our servers — no hardware or software management on your end. Each customer gets their own secure, single-tenant installation in our cloud. Prefer more control? You can also deploy Axero on your own infrastructure for ultimate flexibility, deeper customization, and stronger security.
Can we use a mobile iPhone or Android app?
Absolutely. Axero apps are designed for native integration with Android and iOS. Smartphone and tablet users get a streamlined interface for accessing your intranet. Customers with an active license can download the apps free from the iTunes App Store or Google Play.
What about security and compliance features?
Your security is our priority. We understand that security is an extremely important aspect of your business. It's very important to ours, too. Each Axero customer gets their own independent database — completely separate from every other customer's data. We use state-of-the-art application security, SSL/TLS encryption, daily incremental backups, and hardened operating systems. We're SSAE 16 (SOC 1, SOC 2 Type II) compliant with AES-256 FIPS 140-2 encryption, intrusion detection monitoring, and disaster recovery plans.
Do you support single sign-on (SSO)?
Yes. Integrate SSO across your business applications to simplify access for employees — about 85% of our customers do it. We support Active Directory, ADFS, Azure, SAML, and third-party providers like Okta and OneLogin, as well as social logins. 3rd parties: Onelogin, Okta, Etc. Social logins: Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, X.
Do you support two-factor authentication (2FA)?
Yes. Enable two-factor authentication for an extra layer of security. Supported authenticators include Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator, and Duo Mobile.
