    Chose Jive-x (Discontinued)
    For the money, it just happens to fit best with our original use case. Now that it's been sold to Aurea, which essentially halted any support or dev for the product before selling it off to Lithium, we will have to eventually move off of it (this assumes Lithium won't hire devs …

    Chose Khoros Communities
    Khoros is much more established and feature-rich than Salesforce's Community offering. E.g., gamification is implemented well in Khoros (except for Missions and Journeys) whereas Salesforce's offering is rudimentary.
    Jive is mainly used for internal communities, whereas Khoros …
    Chose Khoros Communities
    Were reviewing 2 other products. Aside from price, the integration to Salesforce.com was the big decider. At the time we were evaluating, Khoros did the community for Salesforce.com themselves.
