MangoApps vs. Broadcast

An Unbiased Side-by Side Comparison

Sifting through marketing spin when shopping for software is overwhelming – we get that. At Cerkl, we don’t want you to take our word for it.

We let unbiased 3rd parties (hello ChatGPT) perform the comparison…

Assume you are an expert in internal communication with knowledge of all internal...

Recommendation: Enhance SharePoint with Cerkl Broadcast.

“If the goal is to modernize communication, maximize personalization, and leverage existing Microsoft investments, Cerkl Broadcast adds enterprise-grade communication capabilities without requiring a full rip-and-replace of SharePoint. MangoApps offers a broader intranet experience, but often duplicates functionality already available in Microsoft 365 and is less optimized for targeted, multi-channel internal comms.

Cerkl Broadcast allows organizations to retain the familiarity of SharePoint while gaining powerful AI insights, dynamic segmentation, and omni-channel delivery that MangoApps lacks.”
