Jive Reviews

Jive is being used across the entire organization. The business problem Jive addresses is improving and facilitating communication amongst geographically dispersed teams. It can help keep information in one place, teams can create spaces to post articles and share those amongst the rest of the company. Jive provides an intranet where all the company teams and groups can keep in touch.

Jive is used within the whole organisation to communicate with colleagues in offices located within different countries and with colleagues within the office.

Across the whole organisation with a focus on day-to-day operational issues and business planning:

• lateral comms: coordination within and outside individual teams in the course of delivering their business priorities
• upward comms: situational awareness for project/program managers and executives
• downward comms: regular blogs from executives regarding priority setting, business agenda, updates...
• product/it support of various it tools and software used operationally
  
• organising events (conferences, bleacher talks, meetings, forums...)
• preservation and guarding against erosion of corporate knowledge (decision points, know-how, highlights, lowlights, knowledge base...)
  

Jive is used across the company worldwide. Many different communities are created, of different sizes. For me, Jive brings added value on top of file sharing, allowing you to collaborate on documents, comment, ask questions, etc. All of this accelerates the process to create a document, and produces higher quality content while receiving feedback from people in the community. It also allows you to get help from the hidden network. Integration with Microsoft Office is very good, especially using the Jive plugin for Office.

We use it across the whole organization. We use it to collaborate across departments, share information, etc.

We use Jive for our company-wide intranet. It's the primary way we communicate and collaborate across departments and regions. From blog posts to meeting notes and weekly reports, it's a great way to store and share important documents in a secure environment. We also gamify use of the intranet and use Jive to manage charitable giving, with employees having the ability to donate points earned to a charity we vote on as a team.

The Marketing and Outreach department uses Jive as an intranet to be able to access important items at their desks and remotely on their cell phones, while in the field.

Jive is being used for our intranet platform. It is being used across the whole organization. It replaced our aging intranet with an updated social intranet with more usable features.

We use Jive for collaboration pages and to serve as an intranet of sorts - an internal knowledge base.

Jive is being used across the entire organization to provide a company-wide internal resource for file hosting, discussion, announcements and so on. In a larger organization like ours with offices all over the world, it is important that all employees have a shared resource of this type for sharing documents and information.

Improved collaboration, and once it had been adopted widely across the company, the internal site we built using it became a must-visit destination each day because it made it easy to quickly see what's going on around our large company.

Used for an internal company site, Jive is a simple, user-friendly tool to allow employees to easily collaborate and communicate in their work and other initiatives. I've also found it's very handy for the sharing of documents, and the ability to limit visibility of those documents where necessary is a definite plus.

There is not much to dislike once you get used to it, which doesn't take long. The only place in which I've found it can be a little buggy is my personal feed of updates I'm following in my inbox, which does not always mark items as read when I want it to.

Jive has been adopted by our corporation to be used as a collaboration software. We are able to create internal websites (similar to Google Sites), tag people on content (connected with an internal directory), rate comments and content, share etc. Very flexible platform and with endless capabilities.

Jive is a great way for our 6 remote office locations and HQ to collab on projects, ask questions, get advice, and just share social stories about themselves or the company. It's a wonderful tool

Creation of a working group for the preparation of a commercial proposal.
Doing business with your new employees on behalf of HR.

I've created a space that other Wеb2win employees can come to find out everything they need to know (and more) about the customer marketing programs I run. That has saved me a tremendous amount of time replying to questions and answering requests for meetings.

Jive is used RAND-wide, but uptake varies throughout the organization. We are not required to use it for anything, so some choose not to. It is used to solicit ideas from a large variety of people at RAND, such as for proposal development, or to communicate more casually about items of interest. Since members of our organization staff projects by finding other staff who have time to spend working on the projects, Jive is often use to advertise for available work.

In comparison to other platforms, Jive-n provides the fastest way to integrate new affiliates into your organization. With the new features of Office 365, Jive is limited in customization and API integrations. It would be great if they could extend themes, layouts and ability inject JavaScript or CSS for better branding. Overall, it's still a great product however for the price, I would use Office 365.

We use Jive internally at JCS - it forms the backbone of how we do business - all of our team collaborates on the platform and our customers collaborate with our team via Jive. All interactions are captured within Jive and all of our business documentation resides in Jive. Our customers use Jive either as external support sites or internal team collaboration sites.

Jive is being used across almost all the organization (Rhodia legacy). Only IT is using it on the Solvay side.
There are a few social groups that are doing an excellent job in Jive : very active, lot of value for the users and the organization. Those groups come from different business units. The level of utilization of Jive varies a lot from a one business unit to another.

Our organization supports the implementation of Jive at client organizations. It is used for client team, department, office, project and other natural work teams to collaborate on deliverables, support business development activities, manage one off projects, drive innovation, create more interactive internal communications and support people engagement and on boarding of new staff.

It's used by the whole organisation for sharing and collaboration across divisions and geographies

My global organisation is using Jive to successfully connect approx 80,000 employees worldwide. Jive has a very simple approach that is easy to understand and easy to use. Valuable business knowledge is now being shared and enhanced through this fantastic framework. Its a social business platform that understand how it needs to deliver a service to operate for business. There isn't 100% usage of the platform but that was never expected. Our usage rate is close enough to 100%, which says a lot about the ease of use of the product. The company has seen greater transparency and access to executives (they Blog) and a greater sense of being connected to "the company". New features in Jive have been well received. We have also integrated our communication platform with Jive so in affect it has become our default Intranet. Its where we go to learn, collaborate, think and grow.

Overall the product has delivered massive business gains for us and has even been tweaked to work as an Extranet in a separate instance. Its really the only thing that has been deployed internally that has become a runaway success within 6 months. So, basic uses are corporate communications, project teaming, topic teaming, idea generation, information and assistance, key links, exec engagement, just to name a few.

I work on multiple Jive projects - all have been global and large organisations, up to 200,000 employees, where all departments use it. Typical benefits are productivity gains, expertise location, enhanced collaboration, increased employee satisfaction, reduced time to market, innovation and increased competitive edge.

We have setup a community on top of Jive platform for collaboration and crowdsourcing purposes. All employees of an organization can share their ideas towards a particular challenge, and the challenge owner can select the best idea from them. Apart from this, the community is also used for engaging with employees and others.

We are giving consulting in Jive Collaboration Tool.
It is being used by our internal group.
It has increased the employee involvement and transparency of group activity.

We used Jive as our front facing customer collaboration site and not internally. It combined the collaboration between customers with our desire to post customer relevant information.
