SharePoint alternative
Axero is the modern intranet teams pick when SharePoint can't keep up — without forcing a forklift migration of the content you already have.

The SharePoint problem
We've talked to hundreds of teams who outgrew SharePoint. The same six issues keep coming up.
Non-IT teams rely on the IT team for every page edit. Marketing files a ticket to update a banner. Operations files a ticket to add a doc. The intranet stops feeling like the team's, and starts feeling like a queue.
Anything beyond the default look means PowerShell, custom solutions, or a consulting engagement. Months of dev work for a homepage that should have taken an afternoon.
Document libraries are great. Recognition, shoutouts, social comments, employee directories — those are afterthoughts. Engagement metrics that matter to internal comms aren't there at all.
Slack, Google Drive, Box, Dropbox, the long tail of HR tools — every connection needs custom work, third-party connectors, or both. Modern stacks aren't all-Microsoft.
Once your library hits real volume, search slows, customizations break across versions, and the whole experience starts to feel sluggish. Self-hosted teams know the feeling.
Permissions, retention, compliance — none of it is the platform's defaults. You hire a SharePoint admin to keep up. That's a real cost line that keeps growing.
Why teams switch to Axero
Built for the people who actually use it — without sacrificing the security, compliance, and admin controls IT needs.
Marketing edits banners. Operations adds docs. HR pushes announcements. No tickets, no PowerShell, no consultants. The interface is a Google-Docs-grade experience for the people building content.
Drag-and-drop page builder, themes, page templates, audience targeting. Stand up a branded employee experience in weeks, not a quarter-long consulting engagement.
Recognition, shoutouts, social comments, polls, employee directories. The features your internal comms team has been asking for are first-class — not bolted on.
Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Slack, Teams, Zoom, Salesforce, Okta, Box, Dropbox — first-class integrations. 500+ REST APIs and webhooks for whatever else lives in your stack.
Sub-second search across content + comments + docs. SaaS infrastructure that scales without you tuning servers. Self-hosted available for teams that need it.
SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR-ready, full audit logging, granular permissions, role-based access. Your admin team configures policies once, not every time.
Already invested in SharePoint?
Yes. Axero connects to SharePoint Online so your existing libraries stay accessible inside the new intranet — searchable, embeddable, and surfaceable in dynamic widgets. You can run hybrid for as long as you want, or migrate fully on your timeline. SharePoint doesn't have to be all-or-nothing, and it doesn't have to be required at all.
