What do you like best about Jive?

From a positive aspect of the product we love the simple and modern interface and the use of groups, that's about where it ends unfortunately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jive?

Jive used to be great before they were purchased by Aurea. We never had any issues and support was great for any questions about configuration!

Since the acquisition we have had nothing but problems all around. Here's a few:

-We're hosted through Jive and for the past 8 months we've experienced multiple day outages where our employees can't login to Jive. This is critical when we have data on here that our employees rely on.

-We've had all sorts of broken interface issues that go without being fixed for days or even more than a week.

-The new system where you enter a ticket for support takes much longer.

-There's a disconnect between our account rep and any sort of support. For the constant issues we're having we're basically told "It is what it is..."

-Their maintenance times are terrible. "We're doing planned maintenance at 3 PM (CST) on a Friday afternoon". Why a large company would have a planned downtime during core USA business hours is beyond me. One of these planned down times during business hours also ended up going two days past the time they originally noted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Jive:

In my honest opinion I would look at other products unless you're hosting on premise. I've talked to other software companies with intranet solutions and they all are saying they've seen an astonishingly large number of new clients that are running from Jive after the Aurea acquisition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The Jive interface is much better than our previous SharePoint intranet. Everything is so much more modern and collaboration within departments seems to be better now that employees can communicate and share posts about our data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The major business problem we solved with Jive-n was Management's ability to blast notifications, quotas and sales objectives to everyone at the same time. It was also a great sourse for employees to communicate with each other and share documents and information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Jive?

What is best about jive is that it offers the ability to insert, edit, and upload documents via the internet to another platform for availability to other individuals. It also provides the capability of adding editors or viewers for specific documents for privacy purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jive?

The program makes it somewhat difficult to manage different versions of a document if multiple users are reviewing and editing. This causes some confusion when maintaining documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Transparency is big business problem that is being addressed with this program. It’s been vital in providing various documents across the organization. The benefits realized are the user friendly capabilities without any formal training. The program is quite self explanatory when learning and managing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Jive?

The part I like best is it seems really secure. This is the most important part when having an application that can also be used on a mobile device in a corporate call center. The other part that is really good is it's ease of use and does not really require any training for our staff. It also allows us to collaborate easily in our day to day projects in both our sales and technical teams. We have so many projects that we have created in it that it has become an integral part of our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jive?

The one thing I dislike is that although it easy to use, the mobile app is kind of clunky and features are a little lack luster. I have found many other apps that are much nicer to use but as security is the most important we have to consider that. Other than that I really don't have a lot negative to say about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Jive:

My recommendations would be to strongly test out the software on a trial period first as the project collaboration features may not suit what you're looking for. I did find that it was easy to use but somewhat clunky. The web interface however, has a much more of a Facebook kind of feel to it and is great to use. The other thing you can do is have your Jive-n branded with your companies name/look/feel so that it is very personalized to your organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Jive-n helps us to stay in contact in separate groups when we are working on projects. We deal with both sales and technical support so the projects are quite varied and having a centralized place to go to work on them allows us to be more productive. Our teams need to constantly collaborate on many projects with creating new sales incentives and technical employee incentives. With this we can also share things not just in our local office but with leaders in other centers. We also have an extensive database essentially created within Jive-n for our staff to look up solutions to common and uncommon tech/sales related issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
