Why Organizations Leave Microsoft for MangoApps

MangoApps was purpose-built for organizations with frontline workers — not retrofitted after the fact.

Built for the Frontline From Day One

Built for the Frontline From Day One

Microsoft has been retrofitting apps for mobile for years. MangoApps was built for the frontline from day one — every feature works on any device, with no email or desktop required. Frontline workers get a native experience, not an afterthought.

  • Works on iOS, Android, and web — no email or corporate device required
  • Branded mobile app that feels like YOUR company's tool, not a vendor's
  • Push notifications, instant messaging, and news feed in one place
  • 50+ languages for global and multilingual workforces

An Extension of Your Brand

An Extension of Your Brand

When Microsoft rolls out, employees see Microsoft. When MangoApps rolls out, they see YOUR company. Deep white-labeling means most customers' employees don't even know we're the technology behind the scenes.

  • Full white-labeling — your logo, colors, and brand throughout
  • Custom app name in the App Store and Google Play
  • Personalized dashboards tailored by role, location, and department
  • Clean slate: a fresh start, free of legacy rollout baggage

No Consultants. No Hidden Fees.

No Consultants. No Hidden Fees.

Microsoft's pricing is complex. Features you expect to be included are behind paywalls. Implementation typically requires outside consultants. MangoApps has straightforward packaging and pricing — and our team handles your implementation.

  • Transparent, all-inclusive pricing — no surprise add-on fees
  • MangoApps implements alongside you — no third-party consultants required
  • One unified platform replacing Teams + SharePoint + Viva + more
  • Average implementation: weeks, not months or years

Customer Support That Stays With You

Customer Support That Stays With You

Keeping up with Microsoft's constantly shifting Viva and Copilot naming and features can feel like a full-time job — and there's rarely a dedicated success manager to help make sense of it. MangoApps customers consistently rate our support among the best they've experienced, with a named Customer Success Manager from day one.

  • Dedicated customer success manager from day one
  • Hands-on implementation support — we don't just hand you a manual
  • Product roadmap driven by customer feedback
  • Four major platform releases per year based on what customers need

When Does Microsoft Make Sense?

Microsoft SharePoint, Teams, and Viva work well in a narrow set of circumstances. Consider staying with Microsoft only if ALL of the following are true:

Nearly All Desk Workers

Almost every employee has a dedicated workstation and a corporate email address, and you're comfortable with a mobile and frontline experience that falls short of a primary-use-case platform.

Large, Experienced IT Team

You have a team of skilled SharePoint developers and ongoing budget to customize, maintain, and deploy Microsoft's complex ecosystem of tools.

Room in the Budget for Add-On Licensing

Even the most basic communications needs require a Viva add-on layered on top of your base Microsoft 365 license — roughly $240,000/year for a 10,000-employee organization, comparable to a complete intranet platform's license cost from other vendors.
