Alternatives Considered

Facebook for Business, Skype and GoToMeeting

I think Jive is a very unique platform in that it is very user intuitive, and acts just like the social networks we've all grown to love and used to. I think it's a great way for the team in disparate locations to stay in touch, and a great way for management to monitor progress of projects.

Other Software Used

Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Adobe Acrobat DC, Microsoft Access

Likelihood to Recommend

Jive is great for people in remote locations to still connect with other employees. it's also great to keep a history of these sorts of discussions for future reference. We use it to ask for solution architecture ideas and potential customer solutions that might/might not work. For example, if the VMWare expert in San Diego sees a question regarding a customer environment that needs software upgrades, they can chime in
