The speed of opening files and folders is too slow and can be very frustrating
It's relatively easy to create folders or workspaces. It's just cumbersome because the files and folders take a while to open. So that's the only issue I have. The rest of the solution is relatively user friendly. The deployment is relatively fast. From creating a brand new workspace to actually using it can be done within a day, depending on how complex it is. I know within our organization they are basically forcing us now to move away from our servers to Vibe. That started in July and there has been a significant change over to Vibe. So it's still new but for a big organization like ours, it's actually impressive how quickly people moved over to Vibe. We did the installation and deployment ourselves and, as an end user, it's been relatively user friendly. It doesn't take long to get familiar with the program, and if you know how it works, it becomes relatively easy to set up a workspace and save documents and edit it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Jive came out on top for feature, price, and ability to meet regulatory needs."
"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."
"The platform works well to collaborate with creating documents or media for a specific goal."
"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."
"We recently rebranded our organization and used this tool as our primary channel."
"We were able to centralize all customer data: files, discussions and technical notes."
"The features that I found most useful were being able to see who made changes to a document, where the document was in the chain of command, and being able to leave comments to make the process more collaborative."
"It's relatively easy to create folders or workspaces."
"HTML and JSP elements are the most valuable features."
"What I like most about this solution, is the fact that I can access it anywhere and customize it to my needs."
"There were no stability issues; it just works."
"Our end users find great value in building team workspaces to collaborate not only with internal employees, but with third-party consultants and customers as required."
 

Cons

"Stream activity could be better organized."
"We had major performance issues when our user base went up."
"Jive-n can improve their integration, plugins and democratize their configuration abilities."
"Create a better way of adding users in bulk by email address."
"The mobile app could be better."
"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"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."
"While we were working on implementing this product, the entire system crashed and we had to reinstall it from a previous version."
"The following issues need some attention: better integration with MS Office suite, more flexibility in customizing the colors and themes, custom forms and workflows are powerful, but the interface needs revamping to be easier to work with."
"You have to press the BACK button at least three times till it will go back to the previous page. This is something that must be improved."
"The end user experience could be improved; some functions are a little too complicated for the average user."
"The speed of opening files is too slow and should be increased."
"One thing that really needs to improve, is opening files or folders. It takes much longer than when you are getting it to Windows Explorer on the desktop."
"The user interface can be changed to 'look' more like a Microsoft one since this will help market the product more."

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…
