Prevail in Orlando offers the Prevail Case Management System, a legal case management system for attorneys wanting to integrate matter management with contact management, a billing system, and other integrated modules.
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.

Prevail software is well-suited for tracking all interactions in each client's case. It keeps all information easily at hand. The version we use is cloud-based, so the information can be accessed from anywhere an internet connection is available. The area, where we would really like to see improvement, is if it would work directly with Gmail, as it already does with Outlook.
Presence of Russian language (localization can be independently established)
You can configure several information tapes with different themes. One for work, the second for communication
A newly-arrived network user immediately receives a prepared block for beginners. After completing several game tasks, the user will receive the basics of using Jive.
There is a template for each scenario. There is even a template for planning R&D, and there are more than twenty of them.
Integrates with MS Office, Google Drive, Google Docs
There are all platforms (even Winphone and blackberry)

Document merging, so numerous communications templates (letters and emails) can be merged with the appropriate names and addresses for a particular case and the items are ready to send within seconds.
Prevail tracks a history of interactions on a case, so you can find a record of every letter, email, phone call, notice, hearing, etc. on one page.
Prevail tracks all billing on a client's case, including billing from the firm, from care providers, other service providers, etc.
It would be nice if Prevail worked directly with Gmail instead of just with Outlook.
It would be nice if it was easier to adapt reports or set up new ones.
It would be nice if all attachments to a client's file could be placed in that client's set of directories so the items could be easily found, even if Prevail was not running.
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.
It's great, except for the lack of working directly with Gmail. As I've already mentioned, the document merge feature is excellent and saves countless hours of typing. The cloud-hosted option is liberating in that you don't have to make sure you have, in your briefcase, every document you'll need for a meeting, hearing, deposition, etc. And the statute date warning feature is also important.
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.
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
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

We've had Prevail for over 10 years. We checked into other options and, while some had certain features we were looking that Prevail did not have, we decided that overall, the features we wanted were not worth the time and stress of changing case management systems, so we decided to stick with Prevail.
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)

Moving to a case management system 10 years ago increased efficiency by allowing us to access our information remotely.
Also, the document merge feature saved countless hours of preparing communications, of various types, individually, as now the process is automatic.
The statute notification feature is especially helpful from a peace of mind perspective, knowing there is nothing out there that's about to bite you, procedurally.
