Ontology design has streamlined product recommendations but still needs native data integration
metaphactory could be improved in terms of data integration. For now, you can design ontologies and taxonomies, but you cannot directly implement, natively, the integration of data associated with the different taxonomies, which makes the integration of mapping engines like R2RML very useful. It would be interesting if metaphactory could also integrate engines for creating inference rules, because the goal of knowledge graphs is to create inference rules, and managing inference rules as well would be interesting. Regarding metaphactory’s artificial intelligence capabilities, I would say that governance and data security is something that for me is not integrated. Overall, when I look at metaphactory, I don’t think of security; I think of integration, and while there is access management, security is something else. At the beginning, the AI features were really just tests, and the results, in terms of reliability and accuracy, were not really there yet, remaining quite tentative. Since then, I haven’t had the chance to test the AI side further. I do not have any other improvements to suggest.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Various business groups were able to collaborate effectively using this tool."
"We are able to handle more than one hundred POs at any given time with their shipping docs and info, with only one person in charge."
"The platform works well to collaborate with creating documents or media for a specific goal."
"In comparison to other platforms, Jive-n provides the fastest way to integrate new affiliates into your organization."
"Colleagues are more informed, it is easier to find content, and silo breaking has significantly improved our collaboration."
"Jive-n offers the best curated experience of the social-based content for enterprises."
"We recently rebranded our organization and used this tool as our primary channel."
"Jive came out on top for feature, price, and ability to meet regulatory needs."
"metaphactory is a central tool for implementing these data products. We're considering it for pharmaceutical modeling and connecting to graph databases. It's the only product our company uses with Graph DB."
"What I like most about metaphactory's ontology and taxonomy creation interface is the direct integration between several taxonomies in the same domain."
 

Cons

"We had major performance issues when our user base went up."
"The mobile app could be better."
"A visual navigator would be very useful as many colleagues have an issue to find their way and connect the dots."
"Standard Silver technical support is similar to standard support by all vendors, i.e., not quick enough."
"Stream activity could be better organized."
"Create a better way of adding users in bulk by email address."
"Jive-n can improve their integration, plugins and democratize their configuration abilities."
"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"For improvements, I'd like to see more maturity in the product, especially regarding enterprise vendor lock-in. The whole area isn't mature enough yet. I think it will develop over time. More competitors are coming up now. I'd like to see better integration with specific vendors who specialize in managing data products. We need more standards beyond the W3C standards from the semantic web that have been around for twenty-five years."
"At the beginning, the AI features were really just tests, and the results, in terms of reliability and accuracy, were not really there yet, remaining quite tentative."

Jive vs Sharepoint vs Drupal Commons
At Mediacurrent we often get requests to compare Drupal to other platforms used for intranet sites and social business platforms (like https://dev.twitter.com/ for example). This is often referred to as “Social Business Software”, which has grown in popularity in recent years. I decided to do a…
