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.,Collaboration
Integration with Outlook
File storage
Publishing,Notifications can be wonky sometimes. I'm not sure why, but I often have to clear out new notifications multiple times before they disappear.
I'd like to see more robust options in the CMS for creating blog posts. It's not always easy for newbies to figure out how to position images, videos, etc. in a blog post.
Better training/tutorials for new users. For those comfortable with technology, Jive is quite intuitive. But we've found it's overwhelming for those who aren't as confident using new technology. Perhaps some quick and simple tutorial videos would be a helpful way to familiarize new users with the features available.,9,Better internal communication, resulting in improved employee engagement
Cost savings, due to no longer paying Dropbox subscription fees for file sharing
Easier sharing across regions, resulting in better customer innovation and collaboration,JIRA Service Desk, Adobe Photoshop, CanvaErica MaroisVery pleased with using Jive at Work2018-07-20T21:08:31.100ZThe 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.,It stores information easily so it can be accessed by others
The Jive app is user-friendly and helpful as field reps need to use it
It's easy to manage the data that is uploaded into Jive.,The formatting of the overview page is somewhat difficult to update and restructure.
Sometimes the files won't load into the viewing area and must be downloaded to view.,8,Accuracy, communication, and accessibility to pertinent information have all improved since the implementation of Jive at my work.,Vonage, Google Cloud StorageJillian SchmoldtJive Review2018-06-04T19:17:43.966ZWe use Jive for collaboration pages and to serve as an intranet of sorts - an internal knowledge base.,Tagging and labeling are flexible and useful for searches.
Document editing is flexible and supports most of the options that you would expect.
Page configuration and display options also allow for some customization of "look and feel.",Search results don't always produce timely topics.
I find that Jive lacks a modern aesthetic but your mileage may vary.
Copy / paste of bullet point content from MSWord is not effective, and this can be frustrating when transferring content.,7,Easier to find information about internal initiatives.
Useful for storing content in a shared repository and not on local computers.
The notifications system of Jive has prevented errors in executing company policy, based on alerts from Jive to flag new content.,MS SharePoint,Salesforce.com, HubSpot, CA Agile Central (formerly Rally)Jason LanierJive talkin' (sorry)2018-06-13T22:37:07.522ZJive 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.,Jive does not have too much of a learning curve - most of it is pretty intuitive for anyone who has used similar tools in the past.
In the right hands, information can be organized well.
It is quite highly customizable by users, which is always a plus - one size does not always fit all!,I have sometimes found previews of uploaded files to be unreliable - Jive has failed to correctly render some files and gave up completely on some others.
Information is only as well-organized as the user. It's a shame there aren't more guidelines or guardrails to help avoid confusion.
Tagging, at least in our implementation, is the wild west. Lots of duplicative tags because absolutely anyone can add tags, even if variations of those tags already exist and could be used instead. This is a common problem in tools like these, though.,7,The effects have been mostly positive as we did not previously have a company-wide tool of this type available to all employees. That's not necessarily specific to Jive as we could have used any tool, but Jive is largely up to the job.
The only negative impact has been an occasional poor use of the tool, which has not had the desired effect of a more productive workforce.
The ability to share information with third parties outside the company on a limited basis is a plus for collaboration with partners.,,Adobe Experience Manager, InVision, SlackVerified UserMy Jive Review2018-07-23T22:22:26.893ZAcross 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 prioritiesupward comms: situational awareness for project/program managers and executivesdownward 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...),easy to quickly assemble a community of interest at various privacy levels (private, secret, open...)
easy to get an awareness of what activities others are doing (activity streams, notifications...)
integrates well with the existing enterprise it infrastructure (office/outlook connects),Jive's customisation of the TinyMCE editor could use further improvement (e.g. wrt editing tables)
Telepresence (i.e. online/away status) for users would be nice, paired with the ability to open a chat session
The admin console could use a refresh (we find ourselves fishing/searching for 'that setting to do X...')
Developer documentation (esp. creating add-ons) could use some consolidation, clarification and a refresh... we build a lot of add-ons
PKI authentication support out of the box would be nice
Allowing users to choose how their name is displayed, as opposed to how it is recorded in LDAP. I would say 10-20% of our user base has a preferred or commonly used name (e.g. Dominique (Dom) Collette). Because my name is recorded in LDAP, and because our LDAP is considered an official system of record, owners of LDAP are required to strictly adhere to identities used in official documents (birth certificates, etc...) but many people prefer to be called by some nickname, or by what is considered their middle name on a birth certificate... There are no options to enter a displayed preferred name.
Information management: smart rules for the lifecycle/sedimentation of information (e.g. goes from fresh/active, to archived, to destroyed) would be nice. it would personally base those rules on a combination of attributes such as age, 'kinetic activity' (likes, shares, bookmarks, comments, @-mentions...), and then come up with thresholds and strategy for notifying the author (e.g. "Your document X is Y years old and showing a low relevance rating. Would you like to update it? archive it? delete it?...").
Project management - task breakdowns, display... we use Atlassian tools a lot (Confluence, Jira) -- a nice integration/add-on with those tools would score huge points with our user base (e.g. Create Jira issue from a discussion/document, create Jive discussion from a Jira issue, a time to display Jira sprint board, product backlog...),8,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),Atlassian Confluence, Drupal, Moodle, OpenText Actuate Information Hub, MS SharePoint and Slack,Microsoft Office 2016, Atlassian ConfluenceVerified User
