Compare Microsoft Sway to JungleMail
Digital storytelling and embeds. Sway is great for building interactive reports and presentations that you can share by link or embed on SharePoint and other sites. It’s ideal for training recaps, leadership updates, event invitations, product spotlights, and similar creative cases. Sway also adapts layouts for mobile and desktop, which helps when responsiveness and visual engagement matter. Simple, lightweight analytics. Authors can see view counts for a Sway to gauge broad interest in a page-based story. This is helpful for web content that lives by link or embed.

Where Sway stops short for internal email
No native bulk email sending. Sway content is consumed via link or embed. It is not designed to be sent as an email to large audiences, and modern email clients do not render Sway’s embed (iframes) inside the message body.
Limited campaign analytics. You get a basic view count, not campaign metrics like opens, unique clicks, read time per recipient, click maps, or segmented breakdowns by location, department, or role.
Audience targeting and feedback. There is no list management, segmentation, or in-email surveys and polls. Collecting feedback typically means linking out, which suits web stories but not emails that need measurable action.

JungleMail Drag and Drop Builder
Recommended positioning
Sway is perfect for interactive stories on your intranet. JungleMail is built to deliver those stories as measurable email. If your update should live as a rich, scrollable page, publish it in Sway and embed it on SharePoint. When you need to plan your calendar, create once, and send a branded newsletter to 10k+ employees with SharePoint News pulled into email, in-email surveys, and campaign analytics, use JungleMail.
For mixed scenarios, publish the long-form piece in Sway, link it inside a JungleMail newsletter, and measure engagement in one place.
Keep Sway, but upgrade the send
