The Right Questions to Ask

Deployment & Simplicity

Which solution can be deployed faster and managed by business users, not just IT specialists?

Native Integration

How does a "100% native" solution differ from a "connector-based" 
one for performance, security, and future-proofing? 


Data Security

Where will my company's data actually be stored? Is it all within my own Microsoft tenant, or is it partially held by the vendor?

Performance

Why is Jint’s search functionality faster and more integrated across Microsoft 365?

User Experience

Which solution offers a truly seamless experience within Microsoft Teams, Viva, and SharePoint without relying on webviews or clunky integrations?

Autonomy

How can I ensure my team can adapt, customize, and evolve the intranet without being dependent on the vendor?

Jint and Jalios both cover the full digital workplace. But one is a native Microsoft 365 add-in and the other a standalone DXP you deploy and maintain. Do you want to enhance the Microsoft 365 you already own, or stand up a separate platform with a steep setup curve? Jint is designed to give your team complete control inside your own tenant from day one.

If your company runs on Microsoft 365, Jint is the more direct alternative to Jalios. Jalios is a French digital workplace and DXP that can sit on top of Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. Jint is a native Microsoft 365 add-in: it enhances the SharePoint and Teams you already own rather than running as a separate platform.

According to McKinsey, employees spend on average 1.8 hours a day searching for information. A good intranet gives that day back. The question is whether you run a separate DXP to do it, or build the experience into your Microsoft 365.

What Jalios does well

Jalios is a rich, modular French platform covering intranet, social network, document management and extranet, and it adapts to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. Reviewers value its functional depth, its modularity and the quality of the Jalios team. For organizations that want one broad platform across a mixed IT landscape, it is a serious option.

The real limits of Jalios for a Microsoft 365 company

That breadth comes at a price. Reviewers consistently cite a steep learning curve and a real investment in setup time and change management before the platform pays off. And because Jalios is a standalone DXP, it adds a parallel system to run and maintain beside your Microsoft 365, with your data hosted on its platform.

The native advantage

Jint is a native Microsoft 365 add-in and an official Microsoft partner solution on Azure Marketplace and AppSource. It does not replace SharePoint, Teams or Viva. It enhances them, live in weeks, with a low learning curve. Microsoft maintains the infrastructure and ships platform updates; Jint pushes product and AI evolutions on top. No parallel platform to patch, no upgrade project, and your data stays in your own tenant.

Jint in brief

Jint (formerly Mozzaik365) is built by a 50+ team across Paris and Montreal, with 8 years of Microsoft 365 expertise, 300+ clients and over a million active users. It turns native SharePoint into a modern intranet, with a personalized news hub, advanced search, an employee directory, onboarding journeys and a mobile experience for frontline workers. On Capterra it scores 4.7 out of 5 (as Mozzaik365), with an 86% recommendation rate on G2. Your data stays in your own Microsoft 365 tenant.

When to choose Jalios, when to choose Jint

Choose Jalios if you want a broad, modular DXP across a genuinely mixed IT landscape and you have the time and resources to configure and run it. Choose Jint if Microsoft 365 is your backbone and you want a modern intranet live fast, lighter to run, with data in your tenant. See our wider alternative to SharePoint comparison.

AI: a structured intranet is the foundation, not a feature

Everyone ships an AI assistant now. The uncomfortable truth: an AI agent is only as good as the information it can reach. Point one at scattered or poorly governed content and it hallucinates or finds nothing. So the order matters. A well-structured intranet on Microsoft 365 organizes, updates and governs your knowledge, exactly what an agent needs to answer correctly. Jint Genius builds on that foundation instead of bolting an assistant onto chaos.

The bottom line

Jalios is a rich French DXP, but a heavy, standalone one. For Microsoft 365-first companies, Jint delivers a modern intranet inside the M365 you already own, faster to deploy and lighter to maintain, with your data in your tenant.

How much does Jalios cost?

chevron down icon

Jalios pricing is quote-based and depends on editions and modules. Reviewers note a steep learning curve and a real investment in setup time before the platform pays off.

What is the best Microsoft 365 alternative to Jalios?

For Microsoft 365-first companies, Jint is the most direct alternative: a native add-in that enhances SharePoint and Teams, faster to deploy and lighter to run than a separate DXP platform, with data in your own tenant.

How do you choose between a standalone intranet and a native Microsoft 365 solution?

chevron down icon

If your organization already runs on Microsoft 365, a native solution almost always delivers better long-term value. It reuses your existing licenses, keeps data in your tenant, and inherits your governance. A standalone SaaS platform adds an integration layer to maintain. Choose standalone if you are not committed to M365 or have specific needs it cannot meet.
