	Jive	Jive-x (Discontinued)
Considered Both Products	Aurea 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? 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. It has provided all the libraries to implement any new functionality. Helpful? Maxime Guglielmetti Business Intelligence coordinator & CRM expert in Information Technology at Solvay (Chemicals, 10,001+ employees) Chose Jive I did not make the decision to implement Jive. There is a collaboration tool in Salesforce. However, Jive was picked because it was a good quality price ratio tool. We have over 5K users and I believe the objective is to go to 10K users. Helpful? Amit Rajesth Associate Application Developer in Information Technology at BMC Software (Computer Software, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Jive This is the best ever collaboration tool I have ever come across as its more on the social side. Helpful? Benjamin Barniskis System Analyst III in Information Technology at Tripwire (Financial Services, 11-50 employees) Chose Jive Sharepoint: Sharepoint locks you into a box, but at least most MS Office products are in that box and work well together. Sharepoint tended to be very "clunky" when used, but it covers the basics of collaboration even if it could be difficult to use. I can't speak from an Admin … Helpful? Yashita Goyal Programmer Analyst in Engineering at Cognizant Technology Solutions (Information Technology and Services, 10,001+ employees) Chose Jive As a social collaboration tool - Jive is best product for me and I love it.

It is used for doing Sentiment analysis and engagement directly with the … Helpful? Anne Karppinen Community Manager in Customer Service at NSN - Nokia Solutions and Networks (Telecommunications, 10,001+ employees) Chose Jive Compared to MS SharePoint community administration, I'm much more comfortable with Jive administration tools.
