Like any tool or application, Google Sites has some limitations. The following list shows some of the most popular concerns from users: 

No Employee Engagement

• People Directory - No simple way to create an employee directory nor an organisational chart.

• Employee Recognition - Google Sites does not offer any tools to help you recognise and reward those who have gone the extra mile or if you want to spotlight someone for their achievements.

No News or Announcements

• Summaries - Google Sites doesn;t summarise recent updates

• Centralised Tool - there's no tool to allow you to post once and update in various locations

Poor File, Document and Folder Handling

• Folder Hierarchy - opening a folder takes you to Google Drive

• Search and Sort - Sites doesn't search your embedded Drive content nor can you sort the list of items

Poor Calendar DIsplay

• Google Calendar - antiquated displays are not intranet friendly
