Poppulo Harmony vs. Cerkl Broadcast

Improving your internal communications is a big ask. We are comparing Cerkl Broadcast and Poppulo email and app integrations so you can pick the perfect fit.

Email

Email Blasts use a drag-and-drop email builder. All emails are responsive and pre-tested on over 60 different email clients and devices. Emails can be previewed, saved as drafts and scheduled to send anytime – no need to be at your computer or for it to be turned on. Unlimited templates included at no additional cost.

Poppulo

Includes templated emails that require scheduling with interactive social and commenting abilities. Additional templates available at additional cost.

SharePoint

No need to replace your existing intranet. Instantly add personalization, notifications and A.I. learning with our native SharePoint web part (HTML standard plug-in for other Intranets). No API or tech involvement necessary to add Broadcast Intranet Notifications & Personalization.

Poppulo

Integrates with SharePoint content and provides reporting.

Mobile

A native employee mobile app available for both iOS and Android. Includes your branding, personalized newsfeed, push notifications, in-app notifications, universal content search, customizable links, A.I. learning plus many more mobile features. Priced separately so you don’t pay for something you don’t need.

Poppulo

Native mobile app available for both iOS and Android. Employees see their general company newsfeed as well as the topics they select. Send push notifications when necessary. Not optional – required with purchase. You can see Poppulo app ratings on Google Play and App Store here.

Microsoft Teams

Deliver personalized news directly into Microsoft Teams for each employee by adding the Broadcast Teams app (included at no additional charge).

Poppulo

No integration with Microsoft Teams.

Cross-Channel

Broadcast’s intelligent content delivery (patent pending) allows communicators to publish content once and have it automatically delivered to intranet, mobile and even email. Additionally, your channels are connected meaning your employees won’t see content they’ve already consumed on a different channel.

Poppulo

Includes Poppulo mobile app and interactive emails. Channels do not include built-in A.I. learning or intelligence between channels. Employees will receive duplicate content.

Newsletters

Broadcast Newsletters (News Digests) automatically curate content into a personalized digest for each employee. Using A.I., employees receive the required content they have yet to see plus what they’re interested in.

Poppulo

Includes templated emails that require scheduling with interactive social and commenting abilities.

Audience Management

Broadcast allows you to build dynamic segments (no IT required) based on any attribute (department, location, hire date, etc.) in your HRIS (Workday, PeopleSoft, SAP, ADP, etc.). Also supports integration with Active Directory and file uploads. Data about people can be imported into the system without having to develop an integration.

Poppulo

Supports existing distribution lists via custom integration with Microsoft Active Directory. 

Content Management

We all hate jumping back and forth between platforms to fix a title or update a resource. With Broadcast Content Manager, you can create, distribute, search, and edit your content in one location. Focus on maximizing your team’s content lifecycle and value, not just checking a box.

Poppulo

There’s no central content manager, but a manager for campaigns, Poppulo mobile app and interactive email channel.

Analytics

Broadcast Insights includes the ability to create unlimited, customizable dashboards based on the KPIs that matter to you. All dashboards can be shared with your team and leadership. No additional charge for access to Insights. Client can tap into API to get reporting data back out to another system – like Tableau, Microsoft BI or Adobe Analytics.

Poppulo

Analytics available for an additional cost. Pre-defined reports for email, content, platform and standard metrics. Includes filtered and custom reports. No Reporting API.
