Key Similarities: Intranet vs. Extranet

An intranet and extranet have very similar benefits and functionality.

  • Central Repository. An intranet and extranet both allow businesses to store and share critical group calendars, documents, and projects in a central location.
  • Collaboration Tool. An intranet and extranet both enable improved collaboration among employees, distributed workforces, customers and partners.

Key Differences: Intranet vs. Extranet

An intranet and extranet also have key differences that involve the accessibility and technical structure.

  • Web Accessibility. An installed intranet is usually only accessible from within the company via in-house servers. An extranet, meant to enable external collaboration, is accessible via a secure Web-based area.
  • Technical Structure. Access to a company intranet is controlled by a system administrator that assigns and manages rights and permissions to access in-house servers. Access to an extranet or customer portal is generally restricted to external users and enabled through a VPN (virtual private network).
