For the third year in a row, Staffbase is a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Intranet Packaged Solutions
For the third consecutive year, Staffbase has been named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Intranet Packaged Solutions (IPS). For us, this continued recognition reinforces what thousands of customers already know: Staffbase is one of the most trusted and innovative intranet and employee experience platforms in the market — and now, the one shaping the future in the age of AI.
The 2025 Magic Quadrant reflects a changing intranet landscape. In our opinion, with more vendors than ever in the Leaders quadrant, traditional intranet capabilities are reaching feature parity. The next chapter is already underway — an era defined by AI-native intranets built for reach, relevance, and control. That’s exactly where we think Staffbase stands out.
This year’s report is especially interesting because it shows how the intranet market is changing. As AI reshapes the digital workplace, vendors will be challenged to deliver more real value to employees. In my opinion, both the Gartner recognition and their analysis of Staffbase show that we’re ready to lead that shift by helping organizations turn AI into impact for every part of their workforce.

What is a Gartner® Magic Quadrant™?
The Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Intranet Packaged Solutions is an independent report that evaluates vendors based on their “Completeness of Vision” and “Ability to Execute.” According to Gartner, an Intranet Packaged Solution is “as a general-purpose, unified, multichannel software product available via public or private cloud deployment. It delivers a versatile range of business-to-employee digital experiences, including internal communications, community and social interaction, knowledge bases, self-service functions, and access to training and business applications.”
Gartner defines Leaders as companies that “execute well against their current vision and are well positioned for tomorrow.”
We believe that being recognized as a Leader for the third time confirms our strong strategy, product innovation, and commitment to our customers’ success.
Leading the move to the AI-native intranet
The intranet market is evolving fast. As traditional platforms converge on similar productivity features, the true differentiator is how intranets help employees connect, understand, and act — and increasingly, how they use AI to make this easier.
That’s where Staffbase takes the lead. Our employee experience platform combines strong channels including intranet, employee app, and email. It is purpose-built for communication, the foundation of employee engagement and corporate culture. We go deep on comms because engagement drives the employee experience — and the employee experience drives business success.
While others focus on built-in workflows or task management, Staffbase is investing in the next workplace evolution: a conversational, intelligent, and human intranet that connects people to answers and actions without adding more tools.
Continuous innovation
Innovation has always been part of our DNA — and 2025 is no different.
From AI for content creation, translation, and governance to deep integrations with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, we’re making it easier than ever for communicators to plan, create, and distribute content across every channel, for HR professionals to streamline processes and build a seamless employee experience, and for IT specialists to set up, integrate, and maintain digital workplace tools.
With Employee AI we have and will be developing AI features that help employees find information, get tasks done, and stay aligned — all within the flow of work.
New capabilities like a personal AI assistant and a weekly digest in the form of a hyper-personalized podcast will be taking the intranet beyond information sharing. It’s becoming a space where employees can build trust, feel connected, and experience communication that truly matters.
Built on excellence
At its core, Staffbase is built on decades of communications expertise. We’ve always believed that communication isn’t just another intranet feature — it’s the foundation of employee engagement.
That’s why our platform offers a comprehensive, frontline-ready, multichannel experience that meets employees wherever they are — on desktop, mobile, email, or digital signage.
This expertise allows us to help global enterprises bring clarity to complexity, connect their people, and align their workforce around shared purpose — whether they’re in the office, in the field, or on the frontline.
Analyst-recognized and trusted
For three consecutive years, Staffbase has been recognized as a Leader — which we believe is a testament to our powerful integrations, employee experiences and solutions tailored for every industry.
We continue to expand our footprint, working with organizations in more than 60 countries and across every major industry. Thanks to that and our robust partner ecosystem we can successfully implement our services worldwide.
That’s why comms, HR and IT professionals, and executives alike trust Staffbase to deliver — not just today, but for the future of work.
The intranet market at a turning point
According to us, the 2025 Gartner report captures an important shift: the intranet is no longer just about productivity — it’s about connection.
As the digital workplace becomes more complex, employees need an intranet that cuts through the noise. They want a single place to understand what’s happening, access tools, and feel part of something bigger.
AI will accelerate this transformation. The next generation of intranets will use intelligent automation and personalization to make communication more relevant, contextual, and human.
Staffbase is leading that evolution — helping organizations go beyond information delivery to create meaningful communication experiences that inspire action.
Ready for the next era of employee communication
Being recognized as a Leader for the third year in a row is a proud moment — but it’s also a motivation. To us, it confirms that our focus on communication-first excellence, AI-driven innovation, and trusted global partnerships is exactly what organizations need in the new intranet era.
