    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.

    If you are one person or managing 10, TermSync allows you to track what you and your team is working on. When to follow up with customers so that no one is missed. It allows you to see if each teammate is pulling their weight and getting done what needs to be done or if more help is needed. The Executive Metrics reports give you all the information for month end reporting and also shows you the weaknesses so you can motivate your team to excel in those areas.

    • The dashboard makes it easy to organize my daily work and to track customer contacts.
    • TermSync makes it easy for our customers to communicate with us at a time the best works with their schedule.
    • I love the credit reference reports. This saves us all the time of printing, completing and faxing credit reference reports.

    • Reporting. It is hard for TermSync to create a report for every business type out there so you may need to have some things customized, but they are always willing to assist.
    • The requirements needed to accept payments online requires some information that larger companies may not want to give out.

    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
    Aurea
    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
    Aurea
    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

    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

    When researching for this type of product, I did reach out to other vendors. I worked closely with Billtrust in the past and they were lacking in this area when I was ready to make my move. It is my understanding that they have something very robust in the works but I can't say where that will fall on the cost spectrum. By comparison, other companies, like Get Paid had priced themselves right out of our market. TermSync gave us the tools we needed at a price we could afford in the least amount of time and very little assistance from our IT Group, which was a big relief.

    Return on Investment
    Aurea
    • 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)
