I prefer this because it saves time and when the network is moving slowly, I don't have to slog through anything and can easily see what everyone thinks. **What do you dislike about Jive?** It does not group my emails. For example, I can have twelve emails with the same subject line and each email will update to contain the entire conversation, so now I have twelve of the exact same email. I could delete the emails as they come in, but I would find it easier if it updated or grouped as a part of a conversation. **Recommendations to others considering Jive:** It's great, use it! **What problems is Jive solving and how is that benefiting you?** I can communicate faster because I don't have to log on to see the conversation, it is at my fingertips.

I dont know it is my company set up or not, it only works for Internet Explorer, while some applications are better support by google, Jive-N is not much of a use here. **Recommendations to others considering Jive:** It is more practicle for large organizations to use as they have many systems and applications to collaborate. **What problems is Jive solving and how is that benefiting you?** Very good user experience, single sign-on let employees easy to browse different internal sites.

The support offerings are well worth it. **What problems is Jive solving and how is that benefiting you?** Content can be shared between all the people working in a specific area or with everyone in the organisation.

Sharepoint Meets Facebook for Business **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Stephanie S. | Program Manager II - Account Management, Strategic Planning, Project Management, Education, Content, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 28, 2017 **What do you like best about Jive?** My favorite tool is the search function! There is SO much happening in Jive, that search allows me to easily find what I'm looking for (whether it be a file or a discussion topic). I also appreciate being able to set up my news feed with different categories or groups that I follow, to keep updates organized. Notifications via email are helpful to keep me in the loop with replies on threads I am a part of, and I receive a weekly email informing me of recent activity on the site. I like that you can 'tag' other people in a post, like comments or discussions and follow discussions, people and/or groups. **What do you dislike about Jive?** On a few occasions, I have had issues attaching documents to a post, because the attachment icon wasn't showing. Other than that, the only other thing I don't like is that there is SO much happening on Jive, which means it feels impossible to keep up with it all (but I think that's a general part of life nowadays). **Recommendations to others considering Jive:** I was a bit hesitant and it took some time to get on board with this, but it has definitely improved sharing across the business. **What problems is Jive solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sharing documents across the business, keeping up to date on company changes, following specific interest groups or departments, and creating a sense of community for employees that work all across the US and don't interface in person. ### 44.

Jive is a great tool but be prepared to ramp up **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 11, 2017 **What do you like best about Jive?** The jive spaces and groups are great way to set up both long-term and ad hoc collaboration spaces. The search is different from other sites but offers so many ways to find information. It's a pretty easy tool once you get to know how it works but it does take some ramping up time. **What do you dislike about Jive?** It's not always intuitive. I think people go into it thinking "I should be able to figure this out. I didn't have to take training to learn how to use Facebook." and that doesn't turn out to be the case. People need hand holding and on demand support for how to do key tasks. **What problems is Jive solving and how is that benefiting you?** Being a global company, it's hard to communicate to a large group of people unless you are higher in the company. We can get the message out to anyone interested. ### 48.
