What do you like best about Jive?

Jive is a customisable tool that can be used by any organisation. It can be called a professional social connecting platform. You can create blogs, post, discussions, share a document. Also it allows to create public and private groups restricting the number of people. You can store files , documents with team member, create events etc.

Also on the status or posts created by you , others can like and comment... hence in a way interact. Supports multiple plug-ins as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jive?

It requires manual effort to clean the space or to maintain it. Although with additional efforts, customisations and plug-ins old and irrelevant files can be removed to clear space and storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jive solving and how is that benefiting you?

It can be customised and with the support of plug-in its synced with Microsoft office, zip tools etc. it helped us in posting the final report about testing with the team sharing the details/summary about the status for the sprint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Jive?

This app has changed the way we do remote work. And the way we communicate in the office. I am always on the road or traveling, and I just love it. I work from wherever I am. And I use Jive to keep me connected to my team. It's pretty great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jive?

If you're using it on the phone, with just your wireless connection and not the internet, it's slow to connect. Sometimes the customer side of things doesn't work like it should. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jive solving and how is that benefiting you?

I know we are not using it to its max, but we are mainly using Jive for customer outreach and customer success. And some team communications. Updates, meetings those things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Jive?

We went live on the Jive platform in 2009 and migrated to Khoros last May. Jive provided a lot more customizations and with it being hosted on-prem it was easier for our devs to make changes. Moving to a SaaS product has been an adjustment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jive?

While we liked being able to customize, it was also a distraction. Many space and group owners did things so differently that users often felt a big disconnect when navigating between them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jive solving and how is that benefiting you?

Jive was great for introducing client and associate collaboration for Cerner. It allowed us to circumvent some support requests by allowing questions to be asked and answered directly in product forums. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Jive?

They had a great easy to use interface. Phones came provisioned and setup already, and all we had to do was plug them in and we could use them right away. I am not sure how they are now with them being bought out/merged by another company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jive?

The cost, like with many cloud VoIP providers, added up very quickly for us. We had to switch to a hosted option which saved us a huge chunk. Other than this, if you're budgeted for it, it's a great option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jive solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed phones, cloud-based solution that was easy to use, had high quality voice and had the features we needed. Jive checked all of our boxes and then some. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Jive?

The fact that you can use it anywhere: a physical phone (purchasing the right LAN adapter) on an iPad or iPhone, and on the web in your computer. Also it offers constant updates that tend to make it better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jive?

Sometimes the Admin Panel shows information about the lines that is not updated or tends to create confusion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Jive:

You will need a very stable internet connection and also it is better to use this service over a mobile network internet connection. Sometimes it will ring when you are on an active call so you'll need the help of an admin to fine-tune the settings Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jive solving and how is that benefiting you?

We can now get in touch with customers using a 'physical' phone number even when doing home-office. It is easy to use and has many features as warm transfer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of development with no major features for years. The customer service team is pretty bad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Jive helps to connect with the coworkers where employees can interact and collaborate outside emails. It is completely mobile, hence I'm able to use jive while on the move to follow current company news. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
