It is with deep gratitude that I share that Simpplr has been named a Leader by Gartner, Forrester, IDC, and G2 — the only 4x Leader in the intranet and employee experience category. This achievement reflects years of focused investment in the platform and the trust our customers place in Simpplr.

Simpplr named a 4x Leader in employee experience platforms
The recognition spans four of the industry’s most influential reports: Gartner® Magic Quadrant™, Forrester Wave™ Cognitive Search Platform Landscape, IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Employee Experience for Integrated Employee Workspaces, and G2 Grid® Report for Employee Intranet, Fall 2025. This validation by the world’s top analysts and real customer reviews is proof that Simpplr consistently delivers on vision, execution, innovation, and customer satisfaction.
Choosing the right employee experience platform is one of the most critical technology decisions enterprise leaders face, but it can be difficult to separate marketing promises from proven results. Credibility comes from independent voices, and that’s why we’re so proud of these results.
For organizations evaluating their digital workplace strategy, this recognition answers a fundamental question: Which platform can we trust to unify communications, engagement, and enablement into one AI-native solution that drives productivity and ROI? The answer, confirmed across all four reports, is Simpplr.
What 4x leadership means
Being recognized as a Leader by one analyst is an achievement. Being recognized by four independent sources — Gartner, Forrester, IDC, and G2 — is unprecedented in our category. Each evaluation uses distinct criteria, yet all arrive at the same conclusion: Simpplr leads the market.

G2
G2 captures the authentic voice of the customer through peer reviews, reflecting real-world user satisfaction and adoption on a large scale. Simpplr has been named a Leader in the G2 Grid® Report for Employee Intranet, Fall 2025 based on a high customer satisfaction score and a large market presence. The results were outstanding: 98% of users rated it 4 or 5 stars, 97% of users believe it is headed in the right direction, and users said they would be likely to recommend Simpplr at a rate of 93%.
I am proud to say that together, these reports validate Simpplr as the most complete and future-ready platform in the market.
Proud to stand apart
While many vendors position themselves as intranet or comms leaders, Simpplr is fundamentally different because it is AI-native and EX-first. That distinction matters.
Unlike platforms that bolt AI onto legacy architecture, Simpplr was designed with AI at its core. In 2017, we pioneered the industry’s first AI-powered auto-compliance “must-read” feature, and in 2018 we built AI into our governance engine to proactively manage content and compliance.
From cognitive search that delivers instant, permission-aware answers to predictive insights that inform leaders, Simpplr embeds intelligence across the entire employee lifecycle. Features like auto-governance, personalized content feeds, and employee recognition aren’t add-ons — they’re foundational.
Equally important, Simpplr unifies communications, engagement, and enablement into one platform. Where point solutions specialize in newsletters, recognition, employee service, or chat, Simpplr eliminates fragmentation by bringing everything employees need into a single digital work hub. The result is higher adoption, faster ROI, and measurable productivity gains across the enterprise.
Customer outcomes that matter
Recognition from analysts is powerful, but what truly matters is how our customers feel. Across industries — from healthcare and technology to manufacturing and local services — enterprises experience transformative results with Simpplr.

The only all-in-one EX platform
Competitors may tout their leadership in one or two reports, but Simpplr is the only platform validated across the four major grids. That breadth matters because it reflects both analyst evaluation and real customer feedback.
Where others remain intranet-only or point solutions, Simpplr is the only platform that unifies communications, engagement, enablement, and governance into one AI-native solution. This goes beyond piecing together modules or managing custom development. Simpplr delivers an intelligent, future-ready platform that adapts as work evolves.
Enterprises need more than a system of patchwork tools. They need an AI-native foundation for employee engagement and productivity — one that scales globally, integrates seamlessly, and drives measurable ROI. That’s why organizations choose Simpplr, and why analysts and customers alike recognize us as the 4x Leader.
