Jive vs. Payactiv vs. Profit.co

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.

I think it is well suited because it lets the employees know that the company cares, that we want them to be able to have financial stability, and by doing that we are providing a way for them to access their funds earlier.

It is good for companies that want to have clear Objectives, where they describe how they will achieve them and will track the progress. If used properly it can significantly improve the company's productivity and the employees' understanding of where the company is going. This platform will find its customers in companies that are oriented towards efficiency and are willing to invest some time and effort to understand how their departments are working. Thus, reflect on how you can improve things.

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

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.

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.

The product worked as designed. It just didn't work for our needs.

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.

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.

We had a Google phone number set up before and Jive was a lot better option than that. 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

I think Pay Activ is the only tool really we need as a company since it has more than just early access to money but can provide other tools to help you in your financial situation

Profit.co was the easiest to use and the customer is great.

• 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)

• Sorry, not something we track, but I believe it has an impact on worker dignity, they don't have to come to me hat in hand ask for an advance.

• Not measured with hard numbers yet but definitely improved the employee's productivity.
