Portal Security: It has good security model but in few areas it requires improvement.
Encrypt LDAP passwords on import
Log in should be via SSL by default
Upgrade/patch process should include an alert in the control panel
Add virus scan for uploaded files
Server Administration
Garbage Collector should be able to be scheduled to run from the control panel
Reindexing should be able to be scheduled from the control panel
Provide GUI to change the default Liferay favorite icon to any desired logo
LDAP mapping GUI to custom Liferay attributes
Configurations: Less configurations from properties files and provide more GUI to update from control panel.

Likelihood to Renew

Jive 6.6

Based on 17 answers

There are always external factors that can impact this decision but currently, the Jive platform is maintaining its lead in the market place in this area. 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

Usability

Jive 6.1

Based on 4 answers

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.

Reliability and Availability

Jive 5.0

Based on 1 answer

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.

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.

Online Training

Jive 5.0

Based on 3 answers

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

If I did this over, I would hire out the implementation. They know the best practices and could have guided us to make an easier to use setup.

Alternatives Considered

Jive and IBM/HCL Connections have very similar features, but Jive has a much much better UI/UX compared to IBM/HCL Connections (which is horrendous). The usability factor alone was enough to tip the choice in Jive's favor. When compared with Atlassian Confluence, it came down to a toss-up between target user audience. Out of the box, Jive is more tailored to ordinary users that may not be tech-savvy, while Confluence being highly customizable and extensible, demands more from its users.

Great choice for Java based enterprise organizations. Liferay is on the heavier side of CMS systems, and it excels in larger projects but is a waste of time for smaller projects.

Return on Investment

Makes us seem bigger than we are.
Makes it so the person that manages this part of the business can go on vacation and can pass on these duties to other people when he is gone.
Helped us fulfill MSA requirements from our clients to have phone support. Couldn’t have closed some of our deals without it.

Can reduce IT costs eventually.
Increases upfront costs due to technical knowledge needed for initial setup and maintenance.
Hard to analyze ROI until after it's totally implemented.
