Considered Both Products
Axero
Chose Axero
I evaluated a number of platforms. Here's the list: Mango Apps, Jive, Jostle, Zyncro, Bitrix 24, Exo platform, Huddle, Confluence, Hip Chat, Wrike, Hive. Some of the other platforms were really nice but Communifire was the platform that best meet our needs.
Chose Axero
The customer service from Communifire was what initially hooked us - quick, honest and reliable. With the others mentioned above we did receive some good service, some poor service and at times virtually no service at all. As we progressed with trial accounts of each system …
Chose Axero
We selected Communifire for the excellent sales support, strong feature set and quick set up time. We were able to get started immediately and build out features as need required which led to faster execution and higher adoption rates among our team.
Chose Axero
I did an in-depth comparison of the leading 3 platforms and selected Communifire based on price for features. When I had such a positive experience with their unbelievable support, I knew we made the right decision.
Chose Axero
Provided me many options, e.g. wiki, video, cases, forums, facebook like posting, articles, blogs, file area, and the ability to create sub communities. Nobody else came close to offering these items at a fair price, package clarity, and ease of use.

Second, the 'can-do' spirit …
Workvivo
Chose Workvivo
The interface is more simple and meant for the purpose of communication. Though the product misses on the aspect of one on one chat, the main purpose of communicating to group all together is handled well through the software. Employees are more engaging when they see …
Chose Workvivo
I've used one internally built similar program, but much more limited and not as effective. I'd say Workvivo is a very completed system, which provides a lot of necessary features and functionalities to engage with your employees in many different ways. I'm not the business …
Chose Workvivo
Every other similar platform was riddled with internal errors and caching issues. Microsoft is far too expansive to dive into blind unless you know exactly what you're looking for. Workvivo allows you to see everything happening in real-time and go from there.
Chose Workvivo
Very different products - Workvivo is like an internal noticeboard but a lot more than that allowing for social posts, charitable posts, events, policy documents., announcements etc.
Chose Workvivo
Workvivo is less intrusive in the workday and complements what we do better.
Chose Workvivo
Not quite the same level of interaction- the 'fun' aspect is lost on other applications
Chose Workvivo
Workvivo is the standout performer in driving companies vision, mission, and values. It creates a real sense of family and information is at the press of a button.
Chose Workvivo
I used a similar tool in South Africa while working for WesBank, I cannot remember the name, but Workvivo is a lot more interactive and a lot more popular with staff.
Chose Workvivo
I really have very limited to no experience with any other platform that fits the same field as Workvivo. My company as a whole had no program to do the jobs Workvivo has fulfilled. Workvivo has taken the responsibilities of many different smaller programs or even just large …
Chose Workvivo
LinkedIn Learning, paid for by the company, gives us the opportunity for development specific to our areas of interest. This is why I spend more time on LinkedIn. Workvivo is only limited to those in our company, but it would be great if we could somehow access other public …
Chose Workvivo
We looked at several options when evaluating which system to use. I used a G2 review and looked at recommendations. We don't have an enormous budget, and we were looking to get the most features for our dollar. Our company is also growing, so we needed something that would …
Chose Workvivo
I see Workvivo as another corporate tool that we can use in Keyloop. I only use this tool for work purposes, and it allows me to be more in touch with my colleagues. It is an exclusive social network for Keyloop! It is important for me to have quick access to other corporative …
Chose Workvivo
I selected Workvivo because this application will make me stay connected with my peers, near and dears. Also, through this application, I can come to know about the past, present, and future news. Moreover, there's also unity in diversity. We can build super friendly …
Chose Workvivo
We have used Slack for similar communication and engagement needs before. Workvivo is tailored for this and gives advanced options
Chose Workvivo
Slack was more chat based, but didn't have the resources as easily accessible. Plus slack relied on people sending things when they need to be sent, rather than just having things posted to a space.
Chose Workvivo
Workvivo is very up to date. There never seems to be any problems with the system. It seems as though it is always working efficiently and always updating the news feed for us Spearliners. Sales Navigator is a similiar application but I find Workvivo alot easier to navigate and …
Chose Workvivo
Much easier to navigate and use. Although similiar, having the app makes it a lot more accessable to users and colleagues.
Chose Workvivo
The layout is better organized and intuitive, easier to use. It has a wall where everyone can share different information. It combines all necessary features for involvement of all the people within the company. I like in Workvivo that it serves as platform where you can show …

Specific scenarios where Communifire would be well suited to an organisation, would be companies that are people focused and committed to frequent and open communication channels from both the top-down and bottom-up. It also would suit organizations that are committed to providing the staff opportunities to collaborate, share and actively contribute to company initiatives and planning. If these aren't elements of your organization's culture, the system would still work for you or those companies who just want to push information out and have an effective intranet. Communifire would cater to these scenarios just as well and is more than capable of providing that type of simple solution.

WorkVivo works really well for us as we have colleagues all across the country. These colleagues don't use pc's in their working day so it was proving more and more challenging to reach them. With the diversity of people now using social platforms, the adoption of WorkVivo by all members of our team was really easy!

Cons

  • Comment's visibility under a post: before, you saw all the comments, but now it displays only one, making you lose the others (you have to open the post to read them)
  • Possibility to change your job title manually: from the app, it is not possible to change your job title (mine remained on stage)
  • Like's visibility: before I saw them much better

To my best friend Workvivo, I would like to give 10/10. Everything is running smoothly. I feel glad when people at my workplace from other departments and also from other shifts recognise me with my name. That gives me inner peace. I am feeling blissful. I am on the moon.

Usability
This rating has a caveat - there is always room for improvement, and this team gets it. You always learn from customers how to do things better and easier, so it is a constant learning of how people use the site. Although the search engine is exceptional, most people do not use it as their first line of research. Much of the usability has to do with layout - and is not just a software usability item, so the rating is severely dependent up on the layout/options you choose for your usage. And their team will do anything in their power to get the results and layout you want. The areas that need improvement - and acknowledged by the team - are the administrative tools. There are a ton of options, and it takes a little to learn some of those. For most people, however, this won't be an issue, because the support team will always help you. This is always the case with more power. If there were fewer options it would no doubt be easier, but they give you the keys to all of the cars in the lot; so a little more to learn.

All the things were explained in an effective way. Easy to understand the tools, features, their use, implementation. Monitoring & support wherever required. Feedback was recorded & improvements were done wherever required to improve the coaching experience. Knowledge checks were taken to understand understanding levels.

The interface is more simple and meant for the purpose of communication. Though the product misses on the aspect of one on one chat, the main purpose of communicating to group all together is handled well through the software. Employees are more engaging when they see achievement of their colleagues on it. For leaders it’s become one place to any something to private or public groups as per their needs

Return on Investment
  • Faster, more consistent onboarding. We host all training materials in an easy-to-access and easy-to-update space.
  • Better product knowledge = greater sales. We post training information about new products for immediate use by all team members.
  • Better communication within the store team translates to better customer service. Keeping part time team members up-to-date has always been a challenge. Now they are able to catch up quickly when they get to the store.

  • I work remotely so maintaining interaction with your colleagues is more difficult. With Workvivo, I can stay tuned to what my colleagues are doing (in more fun, personal way) so I get to know them and break that distance barrier.
  • Workvivo helps to share work-related information and it is also a way to connect to the community all around the world that shares the same values and interests. Workvivo is fun and easy to use which is very helpful to the user.
  • It solves the problem of learning the organizational chart, which changes frequently. It helps me quickly find a co-worker's profile with contact info and helps me learn their interests, which I value as a remote employee.
