Jive Reviews

My company chose to go to Google mail, and Google docs after many years of Microsoft. Jive used to be big for a few years but now the push for Google is stronger. We are still going to use those 2 tools; we actually have an interface between Jive and Google. But I feel it is fragile. Collaboration topic is fragile because if people stop pushing for it, the metrics will show it. Only a few teams with exceptional leaders will still do great no matter what. It is rare unfortunately.

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.

It's not my decision

The product is part of the company DNA .. it would be very hard to get rid of it any time soon.

All the Jive projects I've worked on have renewed their use of Jive.

Jive is very good tool but when their is a large number of members in a community, it affects cost which can make Jive a very costly product.

Just wanted maintain same momentum of all employees

The cost and ROI. We actually switched to Wordpress for free and found it met all our needs effectively and improved our user experience, primarily in customer interaction.
Experience base with other products was also high vs Jive.

It's not me who decides on renewing the contract.

This is more of a manager's decision. Can't comment on this one.

Currently using the product. In future, if work doesn't permit then also will try to be active and collaborate.

My answer isn't accurate given my role as a consultant. I'm unsure how to answer the question. I am likely to support a client's selection of Jive only when the strategy is aligned with their needs. I'm a fan of Jive in many instances but regularly challenge to think through not only their use cases, but their expectations for collaboration platforms.

Users are happy with Jive collaboration software and given the amount of customization and budget spent it makes no sense moving over to a newer collaboration suite

Terrible customer support; bad experience using the product as a whole.

The company started using SuccessFactors Jam as the leading collaboration tool

My company was purchased before our renewal date came around. But at the time we were considering switching to other tools.

We have already moved to another platform.
