Easy to install, update, dial, & text.  all the functionality is there

With different lines coming to my phone, the caller ID does not function - unless the primary phone is called (I have several businesses, each with a dedicated line)

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

i am a remote worker living internationally, Jive allows me to have a USA number for customers to call

  ### 2. Great and easy to use. Pretty strait forward.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 03, 2022

**What do you like best about Jive?**

This app has changed the way we do remote work. And the way we communicate in the office. I am always on the road or traveling, and I just love it. I work from wherever I am. And I use Jive to keep me connected to my team. It's pretty great.

**What do you dislike about Jive?**

If you're using it on the phone, with just your wireless connection and not the internet, it's slow to connect. Sometimes the customer side of things doesn't work like it should.

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

I know we are not using it to its max, but we are mainly using Jive for customer outreach and customer success. And some team communications. Updates, meetings those things.

  ### 3. Worked for our situation, we just outgrew them for the money

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 12, 2022

**What do you like best about Jive?**

They had a great easy to use interface. Phones came provisioned and setup already, and all we had to do was plug them in and we could use them right away. I am not sure how they are now with them being bought out/merged by another company.

**What do you dislike about Jive?**

The cost, like with many cloud VoIP providers, added up very quickly for us. We had to switch to a hosted option which saved us a huge chunk. Other than this, if you're budgeted for it, it's a great option.

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

We needed phones, cloud-based solution that was easy to use, had high quality voice and had the features we needed. Jive checked all of our boxes and then some.

  ### 4. Good IP phone communications tool

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Aldo T. | Lead Tech Support, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 06, 2021

**What do you like best about Jive?**

The fact that you can use it anywhere: a physical phone (purchasing the right LAN adapter) on an iPad or iPhone, and on the web in your computer. Also it offers constant updates that tend to make it better.

**What do you dislike about Jive?**

Sometimes the Admin Panel shows information about the lines that is not updated or tends to create confusion.

**Recommendations to others considering Jive:**

You will need a very stable internet connection and also it is better to use this service over a mobile network internet connection. Sometimes it will ring when you are on an active call so you'll need the help of an admin to fine-tune the settings

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

We can now get in touch with customers using a 'physical' phone number even when doing home-office. It is easy to use and has many features as warm transfer.

There is nothing that I dislike about Jive so far. It has a great user interface and it is easy to use and operate. It has a good signal and quality and my video conferences are never dropped. It works like a charm.

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

When we started working remote in the accounting department, keeping in touch and communication was hard but Jive has made this better for so many companies.

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Events Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

You can configure several information tapes with different themes. One for work, the second for communication

**What do you dislike about Jive?**

For the first time, pages open slowly, this is due to the fact that they load quite heavy widgets. Corrected by a small patience at the first boot. - The administrator console is only partially localized, the essential part remains in English. Fixed by learning English.
Widgets are not localized, which are offered by default to new users. This is for programmers.
A lot of different materials that you can create: polls, ideas, documents, blogs, messages, etc., total 16 items. They are different, managed differently and have different properties - all this will cause difficulties in the initial stages. Corrected by a serious approach to user training. However, for advanced users - it's interesting. - If you specify your name in Russian at the first self-registration, in the system it can be displayed as "abracadabra". Fixed either synchronization with Active Directory, or individually by the user.

**Recommendations to others considering Jive:**

Jive - rich functionality, various types of groups, "places", which can serve as the official page of departments where, for example, you can lay out official brochures, forms of letters, contracts and other documents that are constantly required. Wide options of your personal page, rich customization of pages of groups, with addition of additional sections on them. Huge possibilities of the administrative part, which provides everything that can be needed: moderation without the possibility to change the group, access / lack of access to the closed system, the ability to edit the pages / profiles of users, configure the gaming according to their rules.

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

  ### 36. Jive-n & Communicatin'

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** April H. | Office Assistant II, Government Administration, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2016

**What do you like best about Jive?**

I would say that the best feature of Jive-n is the plug-ins to Dropbox and open APIs that make it much easier to communicate with coworkers and help them get tasks done.  It really helps consolidate items within the workplace. There is really a great amount of different options that you can use if you want. 

**What do you dislike about Jive?**

The main thing I would have to say I dislike is the way it is organized.   Sometimes I have trouble getting where I need to navigate to. In my opinion, the toolbar is confusing and could be more useful than it is.

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

We are solving the company's problem of us employees communicating to each other, letting others know and networking with workers who otherwise we may never had worked with.j

  ### 37. Decent company social communications software

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Cassie B. | Client Success Manager, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 14, 2016

**What do you like best about Jive?**

I like that I can read my co-workers posts and keep up with them personally and professionally on Jive. Some co-workers use Jive to post industry updates, which is really nice for everyone to stay on top of the market. Following Places comes in handy as well, since you can group topics together. We use these for General Announcements and updates from our Wellness Team, for example.

**What do you dislike about Jive?**

There is almost too much in Jive, I can't follow it. And it's been updated a few times, so I forget where things are. I tend to miss a lot of updates and I'm subscribed to receive email updates to certain Places, but I never get those updates sent to me in my inbox. The only updates I get emails about are the ones I'm specifically tagged in.

The rop nav seems a little sloppy to me; there's too many tabs at the top to navigate. Then, if you want to post something, there's so many options, it's hard to decide what you're supposed to use or what would be best. 

**Recommendations to others considering Jive:**

It's a good product if you want something that will keep everyone at your company in touch. I definitely recommend created organized places for people to follow at the company.

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

We use Jive to keep in touch and share mass updates/important information to the company. It's a good way to keep up-to-date on what's going on, read articles others share and get to know each other a little better. People will also share cool events going on in the area, or conferences or a photo of their dog just for fun!

**Reviewed Date:** February 14, 2017

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Katjana G. | Client Success Specialist, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 12, 2016

**What do you like best about Jive?**

Jive's setup/basic structure feels familiar,  like facebook or other social media platforms. 

**What do you dislike about Jive?**

I think the news feed area is  unorganized. I feel like posts get lost in the clutter and important information get's pushed around.

**Recommendations to others considering Jive:**

Better organization of the feed. Having groups or events would help keep all posts for one event in one place. Grouping would help with the searching and digging for old posts issue.

It builds an online community within our office but it still feels like there is too much junk on my feed.

One thing i really dislike about jive is the cost of the product.   All though it is saving our company a great deal of money, i'd still wish that it was a bit cheaper.   We have to save everywhere we can.

**Recommendations to others considering Jive:**

An overall great product that will meet all of your companies needs.

to use to reach the areas we need to reach all at one time is a great thing to have.

**Reviewed by:** Abdiel Q. | Director, International Trade and Development, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 18, 2015

**What do you like best about Jive?**

Compared to other systems, Jive collaboration has allowed us to share internal processes more quickly and provides an abundant way to relate reports and workflow with our headquarters in New York, US.

We can bring our office to our homes, holidays, and activities outside the main office. There is no other way to control the timing of activities per employee.

In mobile versions, I think it is not easy to access the main menu.

I dislike the Outlook Connect application.

Patience. Many users have not utilized social media in a personal environment. For those users, it will take time for them to learn and adopt Jive. Jive is a disruptive (in a positive way) change in how organizations traditionally communication. Consider offering training sessions throughout the adoption phase as well as refresher courses.

The Jive UI makes large amounts of information more easily consumable, saving myself and my colleagues a ton of time previously spent on sorting through email and searching for information. Jive Streamlined our internal communications through social collaboration.

  ### 50. Jive is a great out of the box community platform

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Curtis C. | President and Founder (side business in spare time), Online Media, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 30, 2014

**What do you like best about Jive?**

Out of the box, Jive features a nice UI that is user friendly and professionally designed.  It does not appear overly bland, as may be the case with other default community platform installs.  The theme is easy to customize, or Jive can work with you to create a professionally designed custom theme.  Jive has put a lot of thought into the user experience as well -- the platform is easy to use by end users, as well as being easy to administer.

**What do you dislike about Jive?**

Jive delivers a good value, but cost can introduce challenges if for example your organization has thousands of users and you are charged on a per user basis.  There is also no mass user import functionality out of the box, but users can be imported through their API.  Some features required customization and third party utilities, but core community functionality was met out of the box.

**Recommendations to others considering Jive:**

At least worth a trial and cost/benefit analysis.  Jive has worked for many enterprise companies and offers a good value.

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

If self service is a goal (i.e. end users can find answers to their own questions, or other community members help answer their questions), Jive is an excellent platform for minimizing phone/email support queries.  Jive provides a nice TCO, because it does not require internal resources to maintain hardware, upgrade community software, etc.  Jive also operates in a very secure environment, which is good for meeting standard security/compliance requirements.
