Having an intranet setup in your organization has its advantages as well as its disadvantages:
1. Application
Although intranet usage costs are low, initial installation or implementation costs can be high depending on the type of intranet solution and the number of users. In addition, special training is needed to use the intranet solution effectively. This complicates the implementation process and requires effort and time.
2. Complexity
Intranet is considered to be complex in nature. Due to this complexity, many employees feel overwhelmed and do not want to use the intranet.
3. Security
Intranet systems contain many security measures but are still vulnerable to security risks. Unless there are firewalls or gateways, a third party can access your private information.
4. Updates
Finding an intranet solution that stays up to date can be extremely difficult. These types of intranet systems often lack customer support, which means company employees have trouble adapting to them.
5. Management
An intranet cannot manage itself. Therefore, it must be checked regularly and the content must be managed thoroughly. Employees must be responsible for managing the software and ensuring that it works properly. This requires special training.
6. Real-Time Interactions
Intranets reduce face-to-face interaction because work is done mostly from computers. The lack of real-time interactions can lead to a weakening of personal bonds between employees.
7. User Experience
Although it is assumed that the intranet will make the user's work easier, it is lacking in terms of user experience.
