Detailed Review
Claromentis is a digital workplace and intranet platform whose distinguishing feature in this category is that it still means on-premise deployment as a first-class option, not a legacy leftover: an organisation can run it as cloud SaaS or install it on its own infrastructure, the same choice BlueSpice offers among the wikis here but applied to a broader intranet and collaboration platform.
Claromentis Ltd has operated from Brighton, England since incorporation in November 1998, making it one of the longer-established vendors in this category, and states ISO 27001:2022 certification on its site. Pricing is not published; the pricing page offers "a personalized quote" shaped by which product, which deployment model, and which extra features — such as SSO or custom mobile apps — an organisation needs.
The honest limitations: there is no self-serve price to compare against, the United Kingdom sits outside the EEA under an adequacy decision rather than inside it, and choosing the on-premise route still requires the same operational capability any self-hosted deployment demands. A long-established platform also means an interface that trails some newer SaaS entrants.
What Claromentis does well
- Genuine choice of cloud SaaS or on-premise deployment
- ISO 27001:2022 certified
- Long-established UK vendor, incorporated in 1998
- Digital workplace features beyond a plain wiki
- Pricing shaped around the deployment and features actually needed
Where Claromentis falls short
- No published price list; every quote is bespoke
- United Kingdom sits outside the EEA (adequacy decision applies)
- On-premise route needs the same operational capacity self-hosting always does
- Long-established platform, so the interface trails newer SaaS entrants
Standout feature. One of the few vendors here still offering genuine on-premise deployment as a first-class option, not an afterthought.
