Jostle is a Canadian company that provides a cloud-based intranet solution to companies that need software to align their Internal Communications. Operating since 2009, Jostle has built a strong image among Internal Comms tools, offering a wide range of features - intranet chat, search, Google calendar, newsfeed, forum, Single Sign On (SSO), blogs, mobile intranet app, and knowledge base management.
Jostle acts as a good way to store content, discuss ideas, list a variety of items, and spread internal news that employees can interact with, but it still misses some core-customization benefits like a Page builder and deep integration with Slack – features that are a core part of Happeo.

Jostle has predefined sections instead of a page builder
Jostle doesn’t provide a page builder, but it has various predefined sections. It’s an advantage if you just want a quick solution. It’s a disadvantage if you’re looking for a specific structure and more customizable design. Happeo’s Pages are deeply customizable that organize content in a consistent, intuitive way.
Jostle could opt for more customization elements
Jostle can be personalized to a degree, but there are customers who wish for more options to better fit their needs. Happeo offers a broad range of customization elements to match anything relevant to your company – your logo, branded templates, Page structure and more. The sky's the limit.
Jostle uses self-built chat for team collaboration
To encourage employee collaboration, Jostle has its own built-in chat functionality – which doesn’t sync or integrate with tools like Chat or Slack. We think it’s a missed opportunity, because people love Slack – it allows for real-time communication, integrations, and different bots. Its integration with Happeo has a chatbot notify you when there’s an update in relevant Happeo Channels. One step further is Happeo’s Direct-Message (DM) integration with Slack, which allows you to send colleagues a DM from their Happeo profiles.
Jostle's employee engagement mobile app could use an update
Jostle has a mobile app to offer flexibility for on-the-go users, however, some of them share that Jostle’s appneeds some updates. Happeo’s intranet app is a natural extension of the platform – it lets you post, share, and keep track of what’s happening without interruptions.
Jostle's Content Management System (CMS) can be inconvenient
Library is Jostle's feature for storing and organizing content. It intends to save the user time and effort in their search for files. Users report that their experience would be better if the feature was more intuitive. With Happeo’s Enterprise Search you can find everything you’re looking for – regardless if it’s on Happeo or Google Workspace.
