Likelihood to Recommend It's definitely worth considering Jive for the type of application we've developed i.e. a central shared repository for all employees to host and discuss information. I can't say I have ever used a superior tool, but they may exist. I'm just not sure I would want to use it exclusively for file hosting, though. It does integrate with various other tools, so perhaps it would be fine if used in conjunction with another tool for that purpose.

Ally.io has room for improvement in providing benchmark in-depth analysis across industries, same-size companies, etc. Ally.io can still improve upon some of its product features and communicating the releases. Videos have been extremely helpful.

If the innovation in this space by Jive continues, then this number will remain high. Integration with other systems and adaptability to changes in the market or in client needs will also make this decision hard to predict more then 6 months into the future
Read full review Usability It was harder to use that expected. The admin needs to be code savvy to truly customize the system. And users need to trained on the system and the setup. Trainings and monitoring need to continue to enforce use.
Read full review Reliability and Availability Uptime was OK. But there was one day that the system crashed for a whole day. Our company was unable to operate. And all the plugins to word/excel froze causing those systems to freeze. Jive posted a statement to the media saying all customers were up, but we were not.

Read full review Support Rating They did an OK job when I needed them. Except for the one day the system went down. Jive pointed the finger at the hosting company, and the hosting company pointed the finger at Jive. No reliable information came to us.
Read full review Online Training Jive online training is there. It is OK/average. I feel some other companies are doing better. It is not a piece that is required to have a successfully implementation, but it could be useful to improve it

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 option for us

Read full review Return on Investment reduce email traffic reduce amount of files/documents scattered & lost across shared drives increased discovery, awareness and interaction of historically more separated individuals & team functions across the organisation from an IT perspective, we've benefited from improved IT operations (e.g. troubleshooting info shared and easily searched/found with all team members - such that even junior team members can solve technical problems outside of business hours, lessening the burden for standby/call-in for more senior team members) Read full review AI co-pilot makes it easier to be more direct and less "wordy" Teams is a great program and I like how it's seamless and more advanced when you want to convert a file type.
