Overall Satisfaction with Jive
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.
- Office integration
- Data hierarchy is simple, so easy to understand
- Same principles apply to anything (people, groups, projects, documents)
- Document Version management
- Quite flat hierarchy of data (group, project, document) will confuse people used to manage multi level folders structure
- Performance sometimes
- Notifications schema is a bit difficult to setup for the user, between too much or not enough notifications (always a tricky topic any way)
I evaluated several other tools (Bluekiwi, Jalios), I use Sharepoint standard version, but it is very difficult to compare.
