Chezuba vs. OpenText Vibe

When work becomes too monotonous or in case someone is looking to divert from their regular work, taking up a project where one can volunteer with a skill they haven’t used in a while can be just the thing they need to take a break and approach their work with a new perspective. This is very refreshing indeed

I think Micro Focus Vibe is very well suited for organizations that work in a team collaboration front and have to share documents. I think this really shines in organizations that have a standard set of information that gets lost in the sauce because of the sheer amount of people in an organization. In this case, the Wiki is very helpful in this setting. I wouldn't quite recommend this site for video production houses unless you are patient enough to correlate your needs to the many many features available through Vibe...because it all boils down to patience.

• They personalize volunteering experiences based on employee's skills and interests. I literally could volunteer when I want and in the way I want, making the whole Corporate volunteering program more participating
• Their customer support is top notch too

• Novell Vibe connects GroupWise mail with Vibe natively which means you can access Vibe from within the mail product.
• Once forms and workflows are set up, the access structure on who sees what or not is very effective.
• You can use Novell Vibe as your main intranet with everything from wiki's, blogging and more fully automated and still in synch with your internal organisational structure.
• After playing with it for a while i found that through jsp it is highly configurable.

• Their presence in Australia is relatively less compared to other regions
• We hope this can integrate with more HRMS tools in the future
• Grants module is still in nascent stages

• The most pressing improvement is in printing. In speaking with Novell techs Vibe was designed as a web tool, no paper necessary. However in the real world our folks love their paper printouts. Vibe utilizes views for various functions. A print view that's easily configured would be an awesome upgrade.
• Customized in JSP. Vibe is completely customized using JSP. I don't know it. I'm not a programmer. I can work things out, but programming isn't my forte.

Great product and amazing customer service - we not just get the job done but they excel at what they do - no need for us to change at all

It meets our current business needs and provides the scalability we need for future growth. It can be installed on Windows or Linux (Our alpha install was on Linux. Our beta was on Windows. We went with Windows). There are additional features, and application integrations, that we haven't taken advantage as of yet due to the lack of current business needs.

They built it keeping all users including non tech savvy guys in mind, no complains at all. Besides, their product is very customizable so makes our job even easier

At this moment it still looks you need to do a lot to be able to use it and to be honest that time should be used for work not for configuring a communication tool for the business. Yes I understand that it takes time to learn something to use in the organisation , but with this tool I see the help desk having to answer a lot of questions on how to use it or once someone has done something how to undo it.

They respond within a few hours and resolve any issues within 24 hours, they are super sweet!

it was really smooth, no comments

The implementation was good, it is the follow up that we need to do ourselves that takes time and effort.

• Very customer-obsessed: Their team just wants you to succeed, love them!
• Reasonable pricing: They ensured that we didn't have to break our bank to implement this, some of the competitors are extremely expensive
• High quality product: After evaluating a few products for several months, I can say with conviction that Chezuba is the best product in the space

The main alternatives were Sharepoint or creating a custom Drupal install. Sharepoint was too expensive and didn't fit into our Novell environment. The Drupal solution we found was beyond our technical ability.
