Considered Both Products	Aurea Verified User Chose Jive We had a Google phone number set up before and Jive was a lot better option than that. It is more consistent and can be configured much easier and with more advanced settings. Additionally, based on the pricing as well as working with the rep on our account, it was a perfect … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Jive We also use Skype to communicate in our organization. They are both useful for organizational communication. The good thing is in Jive, you will have your own personal timeline. Jive also has a newsfeed or timeline that you can browse where you can see the latest updates from … Incentivized Helpful? Kevin Van Heusen Software Architect in Engineering at SpringAhead (Internet, 51-200 employees) Chose Jive Jive provided phone support which can be useful in case of emergency. Jive's initial pricing was free which helped jumpstart the process. It also provided JIRA integration which we needed for certain teams. Jive also had Zendesk integration which was useful for support teams to … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Jive I evaluated several other tools (Bluekiwi, Jalios), I use Sharepoint standard version, but it is very difficult to compare. Incentivized Helpful? Shune Vickerie Operations Coordinator in Marketing at Thomson Reuters Elite (Marketing and Advertising, 501-1000 employees) Chose Jive We use Jive to keep in touch and share mass updates/important information to the company. It's a good way to keep up to date on what's going on, read articles others share and get to know each other a little better. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Jive Functions, ease of use Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Jive We found that Jive had integrations with the existing IT infrastructure/tools which was nicely aligned with our strategy of playing nice with the existing ecosystem, rather than compete against it. Jive uses a technology stack that is well known by our organisation … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Jive I honestly don't recall what we briefly used before Jive - it wasn't good and didn't last long. I think it was under-utilized because you couldn't really do a whole lot with it. Jive does pretty much everything we need it to do, so for that reason alone, Jive is the superior … Incentivized Helpful? Jason Lanier Principal Product Manager in Marketing at National Instruments (Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Jive I was not involved in the decision to implement Jive versus competitors. My presumption is that the feature set at the time was attractive compared to options like SharePoint. Useful to note that SharePoint seems to have closed the gap in recent years. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Jive I think Jive is a very unique platform in that it is very user intuitive, and acts just like the social networks we've all grown to love and used to. I think it's a great way for the team in disparate locations to stay in touch, and a great way for management to monitor … Incentivized Helpful? Jeffrey Ing Software Support Specialist in Information Technology at Defenders of Wildlife (Computer Software, 51-200 employees) Chose Jive Igloo has more features than Jive. Also, it seems like the support for Igloo seems to be better. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Jive I was not involved in the decision to purchase JIVE. I was the lucky user of it. Incentivized Helpful? Anna Stepanenko Руководитель проекта in Marketing at Web2win Russia (Events Services, 1-10 employees) Chose Jive Very powerful collaboration tool, intuitive, easy to use and commonly used by software vendors - so once you are experienced with it you can apply your knowledge using it in many places. Incentivized Helpful? Mike Reams Lead Enterprise Architect in Information Technology at Cox Enterprises (Telecommunications, 10,001+ employees) Chose Jive Jive is a little behind the curve in comparison with the latest Microsoft features. Jive's lack of native capabilities to support work that requires process or structure increasingly puts it at a disadvantage. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Jive Jive works more with how people actually work and not how admins think that people should work. For example, relying on a folksonomy of tagging instead of a restricted taxonomy is far more practical with how users actually search for content. By putting the power to the users, … Incentivized Helpful? Carlo Saggese CTO in Information Technology at JCS Consulting Group, Inc. (Information Technology and Services, 11-50 employees) Chose Jive Sharepoint - document centric - light on collaboration. Incentivized Helpful? Chris Whipps Advisor, Emerging Practices in Corporate at CSC (Information Technology and Services, 10,001+ employees) Chose Jive Saas.. let someone else run it The other products don't come close to the simplicity and ease of use of Jive. Jive just works. Helpful? Terry Rydzynski Digital Manager in Marketing at United Business Media (Publishing, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Jive I was not involved in the selection process Helpful? Russell Pearson Senior Jive Consultant (Contract) in Information Technology at UBS (Financial Services, 10,001+ employees) Chose Jive It's the market leader in Gartner's magic quadrant and the most innovative and easy to use platform. Helpful? Chris Becker Principal in Professional Services at NetEffect Solutions Inc. (Management Consulting, 1-10 employees) Chose Jive Without getting into specifics, Jive is relatively strong in terms of more 'ready to deploy' business solutions that require less overhead on the client organization side in terms of IT infrastructure, operational support and ongoing administration and maintenance. While some … Helpful? Verified User Chose Jive Drupal would be much better suited. They have fast version upgrades and immediate customer support. Jive lacked in all those areas Helpful? Verified User Chose Jive I have worked on Lithium and Liferay. LifeRay has an advantage that it is opensource and will be cheaper. However it lacks the ton of features provided by Jive. Lithium does not support advanced customizations (except for theming). Jive does have the capability to customize … Helpful? Ayush Rastogi System Engineer in Information Technology at Tata Consultancy Services (Information Technology and Services, 10,001+ employees) Chose Jive Integration with other tools and services forced us to select Jive. Helpful? Mohammad Tareque IT Analyst - Module Lead in Engineering at Tata Consultancy Services (Information Technology and Services, 10,001+ employees) Chose Jive Jive has very good documentation from an admin user perspective.
