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.

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? 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. The Jive user interface is more pleasing and easily adaptable with readymade widgets. The navigation (both top level and within a social group or community) is made … Helpful?	Microsoft MEGAN BOATWRIGHT Senior Customer Care Representative in Customer Service at Helix (Biotechnology, 51-200 employees) Chose SharePoint We use Google Drive as well BUT the functions that are available in SharePoint are not translated in Google Docs. Formatting and uploading are not the same and some of the Excel functions do not transfer over. SharePoint makes it seamless! Either system is good but the … Incentivized Helpful? Jeffrey Ing Software Support Specialist, Project Management in Information Technology at Defenders of Wildlife (Computer Software, 51-200 employees) Chose SharePoint Ms Sharepoint serves the purposes of long term final storage well, it is a centeral location and easy to administrate.

Matt Ranlett Practice Area Lead - IT Strategy in Professional Services at Slalom Consulting (Management Consulting, 1001-5000 employees) Chose SharePoint SharePoint meets or beats every competitor.
