It really depends on the requirement you have. Most of the options you have offer a customer portal only, without really integrating into "services" aspects... Another critical issue I think when you are considering smaller scale companies, it will be the vision they have. Are they waiting to be acquired by a Giant? Any acquisition is a nightmare to customers, because it delay any kinds of innovation and improvement. Back to the applications you have mentioned, Jive should be the one with more possibilities, but if you are willing to go further forward, Salesforce should be a platform offering you the most options.
