Jive - a suitable intranet for larger teams

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized
November 26, 2018
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros
  • Facilitates sharing of information between various teams
  • More 'social' features increase engagement on content (comments, likes, etc)
  • Easy interface for posting articles
Cons
  • Can be hard at times to search for older articles you are trying to dig up.
  • The email summaries of missed posts keep repeating on a daily basis - if you haven't seen a particular article you'll keep getting emails about it.
  • Categorization of articles could be improved. Not always easy to get the right category for a given piece of content.
Likelihood to Recommend
Jive works well for larger companies, it can work best when companies are geographically distributed. If you have a good number of employees, the articles can be a better means of communication than group-wide emails. Your employees can comment, and react to comments and articles without necessarily spamming the whole group like with email. It's less appropriate for smaller teams, there are leaner systems for communicating there.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Jive is used within the whole organisation to communicate with colleagues in offices located within different countries and with colleagues within the office.
Pros
  • Sharing of information
  • Socialize the business processes and bring employees together
  • Rich activity streams
  • Customization of the Software
Cons
  • Does not allow for much customization
  • Mobile app is a kind of clunky and features are a little lack luster
  • The main homepage has a lot going on, I would like for it to be separated out better or easier to follow.
Likelihood to Recommend
It allows you to share and collaborate on documents and connect with more effectively with co-workers and stay tuned in what is going on within my organisation. It shares information that is easily compared to emailing something to everyone in my group. I can use see documents from other divisions that are helpful and would not be able to find on the company website.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros
  • Collaboration
  • Integration with Outlook
  • File storage
  • Publishing
Cons
  • 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
Jive is an amazing way to share weekly reports/updates. We post weekly Google Analytics Reports, social media engagement stats, and sales updates in a private group for our team. It's a nice way to share updates without clogging up email inboxes. More importantly, the whole team can comment and update the documents. It's also nice to be able to share larger files without worrying about size limits.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros
  • Individual design
  • 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)
  • You can create forum threads
Cons
  • For the first time, pages open slowly, this is due to the fact that they load quite heavy widgets. Corrected with patience at the first boot.
  • The administrator console is only partially localized, the essential part remains in English. Fixed by learning English.
  • Widgets are not localized, which are offered by default to new users. This is for programmers.
  • A lot of different materials that you can create: polls, ideas, documents, blogs, messages, etc., total 16 items. They are different, managed differently and have different properties - all this will cause difficulties in the initial stages. Corrected by a serious approach to user training. However, for advanced users - it's interesting
  • If you specify your name in Russian at the first self-registration, in the system it can be displayed as "abracadabra". Fixed either synchronization with Active Directory, or individually by the user.
Likelihood to Recommend
The content in the news section isn't totally responsive - meaning if I have a small window taking up half my screen, the images for the headline articles may not load properly and when I maximize that window, it's left with ugly half-loaded images. Also, the collaboration feature for Office documents is great in theory but tends to cause more pain than it's worth to just download the document and open it separately in Word or Excel.

Very pleased with using Jive at Work

Pros
  • 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.
Cons
  • 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
Jive is user-friendly, easy to use and manage as an admin. Having the Jive app makes items easily accessible when your team is not all in the office.
