Akumina Alternative vs LumApps: It’s Time for a True Platform

Your intranet should be the dynamic heart of your digital workplace—a space where your culture thrives, employees connect, collaborate, and effortlessly access the resources they need. Akumina, as a SharePoint add-on, inherits the inherent complexities and limitations of its underlying platform, making it difficult to achieve the seamless functionality your team deserves.

Discover how a complete, integrated platform like LumApps moves you beyond the limits of a SharePoint add-on. LumApps delivers a smarter, more connected way to work.

Why Companies Choose LumApps Over Akumina

LumApps closes the gaps between tools, teams, and information, opening a workplace where productivity flows.

A Complete Platform, Not an Add-On

LumApps is an integrated solution with AI-powered features, multichannel communications, and modules for learning and operational tasks.

Flexibility

We connect seamlessly with the tools you use every day, whether it’s Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, plus a rich marketplace and SDK for limitless possibilities.

User-Approved, Analyst-Recognized

Celebrated by Gartner and Forrester as a Leader, LumApps is praised for its ease of use, constant innovation, and beautiful user experience.

Built for the Enterprise

LumApps is designed with the scalability, multi-tenant governance, and robust security that global companies demand.

Why you'll love LumApps as your next intranet partner:

Experience True Freedom and Flexibility

Akumina is build on SharePoint, which means you're stuck with its architectural constraints. LumApps is a true SaaS platform, built for scalability and simplicity. We provide a powerful, easy-to-use CMS that gives you the freedom to create and manage a world-class digital workplace without the technical overhead.

An Experience People Genuinely Enjoy

A great intranet is one that people actually use. LumApps places a high priority on a clean, modern, and intuitive user experience. It's easy for anyone to find information, contribute content, and connect with colleagues. Akumina’s admin experience can be clunky, and the end-user interface is limited by what SharePoint can support.

Mobile-first Access for All Employees

Sharepoint is known to not be very accessible on mobile devices. LumApps has a mobile app that connects all employees, no matter where they work.

Innovation In Action

From AI-powered assistants to fully integrated learning, we're always building what's next. Akumina’s smaller team and architectural dependency mean a slower pace of development, leaving you at risk of falling behind

A More Connected Experience

Don't let an add-on solution define the limits of your employee experience. LumApps has out-of-the-box integrations with your favorite business apps and allows you to create your own micro-apps for a truly connected experience.
