    Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
    Jive-x is great for external communities for support deflection or customer communication and document sharing/editing. If you spend the money on the available add-ons and integrations, you could use it for customer education/learning. It's less appropriate for use as a revenue -generating tool or a lead-generating platform.

    Junxure is great for any office just for tracking and transparency alone! I think the earlier you start using it in your business the better. This will create good habits for the employees to start using Junxure instead of their email and chat features. These take up so much time. Time equals money! This also allows you to see the status of any project or client without having to contact fellow employees. You can even see their email correspondence, therefore, if someone is sick you do not have to call them to find out what is going on with that particular client or task.

    Pros
    Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
    • I write these from the perspective of the Community Manager - You can choose your level of moderation on Jive to match the policies of your organisation. From full on content pre-moderation to to completely reactive moderation, you can take your pick. We chose the latter end of the spectrum, trust your colleagues to be professional and you will be rewarded with professional content.
    • The ability for users to set up their own groups very easily with out the need to revert to developers is great as this allows individuality. This allows for organic growth with out impact on the budgets of departments and teams to get their work done on Jive. The option is always there to get 'someone in to fancy it up a bit' however you will find that your own people will develop those skills themselves. Your users will also learn from each other and you should actively encourage stealing of best practice from across your organisation.
    • The knowledge repository or Question and Answer features are the most value-adding for me. Having searchable history that allows your to get answers quickly so the next question can be asked is the reason why you should have a collaboration platform in the first place, Jive makes that easy.
    • Single Sign On has been a excellent addition for us, if Jive does not make your colleagues lives easier then they won't use it.
    • You can customize and brand Jive to reflect your company identity.

    • Clients can log in to view their investment statements. This is a timesaving benefit, as clients won't have to ask you every time they want to see how their money is performing. Being able to self-service will make your clients feel more in control of their money.
    • Being cloud-based means that the workflow monitor can be accessed anytime, anywhere. Nobody will forget important tasks as everything is being tracked. This allows staff to work from home and communicate with other employees with ease.
    • The pending action screen will allow you to reduce your to-do list and keep it in one central, accessible place. Workflow will see a major improvement!

    Cons
    Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
    • No QA environment. It's cloud-based so you need to purchase another instance to set up a QA environment.
    • The gamification system is not as user intuitive as you'd expect. The admin spends more time setting up opportunities than they should need to.
    • Jive-x was bought out by three different companies in the last 2 years. There is an uncertainty of how long it will be supported and updated.

    • Their integration options are a little limited compared to Redtail and SF. This has never caused an issue, but it may force you to think creatively at times.
    • Not the cheapest option, but not the highest either. I would say it has an ok price, but pays for itself. May not be right for people struggling through their first solo year.
    • I would like to see them add new features a little faster. Seems that updates are few and far between. It's a growing industry, and we need new tactics to stay ahead of the robo options coming on the market.

    For a large company the cost can quickly escalate so this must taken into account when renewing. For me, the decision to review will be taken with upgrading to the cloud version in mind as well. My power users love Jive for it versatility but it is important to note that you must be prepared to constantly train and coach the non-power users

    Junxure is a wonderful tool and is easy to use. Once you get your team to work with Junxure more than they do chat, email etc., it will work well and save a lot of time.

    The end user should be able to find what they need. They don't even need to be logged in to search for content.

    Performance
    Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
    It works wonders. My only gripe would be that there are some customizations you can't make without hiring a vendor with coding experience to implement them.

    Support Rating
    Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
    The support has been fantastic when we have been trying to code our own apps. Jive have went above and beyond what was required to help us out. Bugs fixes are generally very good and they are upfront when they are unable to help or a 'problem' is actually in need of Professional Services

    For the money, it just happens to fit best with our original use case. Now that it's been sold to Aurea, which essentially halted any support or dev for the product before selling it off to Lithium, we will have to eventually move off of it (this assumes Lithium won't hire devs for code they didn't build, and that's not a bad assumption). So, while I recommend it, it's with the caveat that it's been sold and will be evolving in the near future.

    I do not particularly remember the system I entered above, as I only used it for temporary work that I did nine years ago. I did not select Junxure myself - the office I work in already had it implemented before I came on. This question does not seem to be applicable to me.

    Return on Investment
    Khoros (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium)
    • Hard to quantify the results...but I also left the company before we had built a mature instance of Jive in-house so the final results/impact were yet to be fully realized and measured.
    • The use of Jive brought together multiple-departments for the first time in our 50+ year old company to truly build an "end-to-end" approach to our marketing/sales/fulfillment/customer service engine. It was truly phenomenal to watch how the internal life-cycle of a prospect-turned-customer literally transformed and unified our inter-departmental teams through the use of Jive Engage.

    • It has saved time by automatically capturing emails.
    • It has created efficiency from having to keep track of tasks manually or keeping power documents around.
    • It’s definitely worth the cost through all of the efficiency our firm gains. The ability to send work actions to teammates depending on their responsibilities is greatly helpful!
