What is Igloo
Igloo is a cloud-based employee intranet platform used to centralize internal communications, documents, and team workspaces. It supports use cases such as company news, departmental portals, policy and procedure publishing, and employee self-service access to resources. The product combines page-based intranet publishing with collaboration features like discussions, calendars, and shared file areas, and it typically integrates with common identity and productivity tools.
Purpose-built intranet structure
Igloo provides a structured intranet model with spaces, pages, and navigation designed for internal communications and resource hubs. This fits organizations that need a governed home for policies, news, and departmental content rather than only task/project work. It supports common intranet patterns such as role-based areas and content publishing workflows. This focus can reduce reliance on ad hoc shared drives and email distribution lists.
Collaboration and content features
The platform includes collaboration components such as discussions, blogs/news, calendars, and shared document areas within workspaces. These features support cross-functional collaboration without requiring a separate community tool for basic use cases. Content can be organized into repeatable templates and sections to standardize how teams publish information. This helps teams keep context (conversation + files + pages) in one place.
Integrations and access controls
Igloo commonly supports SSO and directory-based user management to align access with organizational roles. It also offers permissions and governance controls to manage who can view, edit, and publish content across spaces. Integrations with productivity suites and other enterprise systems are typically used to connect intranet content to existing workflows. These capabilities are important for regulated or multi-department environments.
Not a full HR suite
Although it can support onboarding content and employee communications, Igloo is not primarily a recruiting, talent acquisition, or talent management system. Organizations looking for applicant tracking, requisition management, performance reviews, or compensation workflows will generally need dedicated HR software. Using Igloo for these areas often means linking out to other systems rather than running end-to-end processes. This can increase integration and administration requirements.
Limited advanced project management
Igloo focuses on intranet publishing and collaboration rather than deep task, dependency, and portfolio management. Teams that need advanced project planning, automation, and reporting may find the built-in collaboration tools insufficient. In those cases, Igloo typically acts as the communications and knowledge layer while project execution happens elsewhere. This split can create duplicate places to check for updates.
Search and content sprawl risk
As intranets grow, information architecture and content governance become ongoing operational needs. Without strong ownership, content can become outdated or duplicated across spaces, reducing trust in search results. Organizations may need dedicated administrators and clear publishing standards to keep the intranet usable. This is a common challenge for intranet platforms that support many teams and content types.
