A Social Experience for Work **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 21, 2017 **What do you like best about Jive?** Ease of use. As someone who posts documents on a weekly basis I find it incredibly easy. I've used SharePoint in the past and although enjoyed the flexibility of page design that SharePoint offered, JIVE is just easier. **What do you dislike about Jive?** Not as much flexibility in design as I would like, if you know html (even at a basic level) you can do some different things. Not a deal breaker just more of a preference. **What problems is Jive solving and how is that benefiting you?** This software was implemented just as I began working for my company. I was told it was meant to streamline internal communications and essentially allows us a one stop shop for our needs. What I find great is that it allows multiple users throughout the organization to post updates, news, fun facts, project statuses ect. With greater adaption is really has the ability to open up visibility to others in an organization. ### 9. great company **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 28, 2017 **What do you like best about Jive?** it is easy to use and works quickly with other collaborators. **What do you dislike about Jive?** takes time to connect, but once connected it seemed to work well. **What problems is Jive solving and how is that benefiting you?** team building problem solving, communication ### 10.

Excellent tool to enable collaboration internally and externally **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andrei S. | Technical Consultant, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 17, 2016 **What do you like best about Jive?** The ability to search across the board based on a specific word or a description is very useful and responsive. The multitude of content type users can publish help to categorise questions, from documents, polls, product ideas etc. The ability to control the visibility of the boards means that you can have an internal-only board for the employees, as well as an externally facing board that can be used by employees as well as customers to engage in the collaborative discussions. The "game" element that gives users points, rankings, quests for their active participation - motivates the users to collaborate. The ability to outline areas of expertise on your profile that allows other users locate you as an SME for a specific area. **What do you dislike about Jive?** Sometimes it is difficult to navigate if you are using multiple boards - hard to tell where you are and how to get to where you want to - but I imagine this is purely down to configuration by the administrators rather than the underlying architecture. **Recommendations to others considering Jive:** Very powerful collaboration tool, intuitive, easy to use and commonly used by software vendors - so once you are experienced with it you can apply your knowledge using it in many places. **What problems is Jive solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am using JIVE to (a) as a point of reference for system functionality/best practices (b) to share my knowledge about the system by publishing documents (c) to respond to internal/external questions about system functionality/best practices ### 12.

There are many ways to adapt a "social" community piece that is engaging and fun. **What do you dislike about Jive?** The multiple updates can be frustrating as they impact some basic functionalities which may seem like a small issue, but when a user is accustomed to interacting with the app a certain way, even a small change can have an impact. **Recommendations to others considering Jive:** Be prepared to communicate to your users prior to updates! Giving them as much of a heads up as you can will ease any changes. There is a beta site that you can use to review any updates prior to so you can clearly communicate them to your users. **What problems is Jive solving and how is that benefiting you?** Creating knowledge bases and defining social and community impacts within various user groups.

Jive power user for Global company **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Renewables & Environment | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 04, 2016 **What do you like best about Jive?** Jive is a more featured intranet than SharePoint for providing corporate internal web pages. Easy to post blogs and other information and found the social features and metrics more useful for tracking engagement. **What do you dislike about Jive?** Document and file storage appeared limited, a separate document storage environment needed to be added on to have any level of storage. **Recommendations to others considering Jive:** Have a clear plan for the Company Intranet that is at least a few months out. Select power users across the organization to seed content and messaging to the platform. Make sure that there are clear use cases out there for its use, like having all corporate announcements come through the platform. **What problems is Jive solving and how is that benefiting you?** Needed a company internet to provide updates on how the company was doing, both corporate wide and in specific departments.

Travel is part of my job, and being able to access everything on-the-go is invaluable to me and my team. **What do you dislike about Jive?** The user interface.

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! ### 41.

Our department uses Jive for Word and Excel. We used to send an email to each person in the group since there was no way to work on the document simultaneously. **What do you dislike about Jive?** It can be slow at times. This can be due to our server or the number of people modifying the doc. **Recommendations to others considering Jive:** Use it during the trial to see if it meets your needs. **What problems is Jive solving and how is that benefiting you?** Easier to work on documents within the group. ### 42.

A Collaboration tool with a few kinks **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 10, 2017 **What do you like best about Jive?** The ability to create spaces and places to organize conversations can be incredibly beneficial to a growing team. **What do you dislike about Jive?** Convoluted work flows, the lack of insight into all spaces and the ability to lose things make it a difficult tool to use. The phrase "It's in Jive" can cause a giant eye roll and a collective sigh because it was so difficult to locate important information if there wasn't a single admin organizing everything. **Recommendations to others considering Jive:** Maximize adoption by designating an admin who can train employees on how to use it properly. Make sure they are following the correct spaces to get all relevant updates. **What problems is Jive solving and how is that benefiting you?** Team collaboration and cross-departmentall organization is so beneficial for growing teams.

This demands user use in a way that other content cannot. **What problems is Jive solving and how is that benefiting you?** We need a one stop shop for communication and collaboration. This platform has also been an surprise in the way it allows for public recognition and that has happened without prompting. ### 49.

Jive review **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 02, 2016 **What do you like best about Jive?** Jive is a great communication and collaboration software that helps people working together in business environment communicate and collaborate better. There are many features that are proven to be extremely useful - for ex, All of the documents can be maintained including making final version, reviewing a specified revision, replying to a document, initiating a new discussion, getting notifications when someone publishes a newer version, getting regular updates on activities if you are a part of specific group, or follow someone or keeping track of if someone is already modifying a document so you are not stepping on each other toes, etc. There is a calendar where team can add specific events and create a separate groups for dev, QA, prod mgmt and go look under specific categories for individual requirements and never bother about sharing a document or asking a question via email. **What do you dislike about Jive?** Even though Jive is great collaboration tool, some features like searching for a document using search tool or navigating to a specific path from a home location can be challenging. I have had an issue where search tool would not list the specific document I was searching for and hence, always need to rely on either having a direct link to the document or look under specific category. Also, using Jive for new users can be challenging since there is lot of complexity and there is a learning curve for getting familiarized with a new software. Preview of the user documents and searching for the documents result into not so nice user experience. For an organization, it can also be challenging to integrate with Jive when switching from another platform like sharepoint, etc. **Recommendations to others considering Jive:** Absolutely recommend. There are lot of benefits of using Jive. And if you are in software development company, there are lot of things individuals can do with Jive to stay uptodate with everything going within organization, be it business daily goals, or other activities that your organization is initiating or participating to. You can also address individuals when writing comments, i.e tag them, so they get notified, instead of having to write a separate email asking them to review a specific document. **What problems is Jive solving and how is that benefiting you?** Jive is an effective communication and collaboration software. Having all the features mentioned above that works best for an individual or for an organization, one can focus on deliverable without having to worry about creating a process that works for all in terms of documentation for release documents, creating design documents or initiating a new discussion. Having these to do all in emails, information tends to get lost and one cannot find when needed. So storing these documents in one centralized place where every one can access leads to more reliable, productive way of keeping entire team synced on what needs to be communicated and preserved. ## Jive Discussions - [Does Jive have a Mobile App?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/does-jive-have-a-mobile-app) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [What is Jive (Intranet) Software?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-jive-intranet-software) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [View Jive pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/jive/reviews?page=4§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-07-24+14%3A11%3A26+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=741a688d-51ec-460b-9495-11afde5d4156&secure%5Btoken%5D=be5c10f87635cf3ccc35dd94ed66f82be613b36a9ea797ffef938d5f4757e0b4&format=llm_user) ## Jive Features **Communication** - Status Updates - Instant Messaging - Activity Feed - Notifications - Comments and Voting - Discussions - User Directory - Online Status of Coworkers **Content & Community Features - Enterprise Social Networking (ESN)** - Gamification - Community Building - Knowledge Sharing - User Generated Content **Agentic AI - Employee Intranet** - Autonomous Task Execution - Adaptive Learning **Content Management** - File Sharing - Document Collaboration - Version Control - Tagging - Knowledge Base - Surveys **Productivity Tools** - Task Management - Calendar - Search - Mobile - Multi-Language Support **Admin & Reporting Features - Enterprise Social Networking (ESN)** - Content Moderation - Polls & Surveys - Content Management - Analytics & Reporting - User Management **Administration** - Moderation - User, Role, and Access Management - Performance and Reliability **Agentic AI - Enterprise Social Networking (ESN)** - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance ## Top Jive Alternatives - [Viva Engage](https://www.g2.com/products/viva-engage/reviews) - 3.6/5.0 (1,423 reviews) - [Simpplr](https://www.g2.com/products/simpplr/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (355 reviews) - [Jostle](https://www.g2.com/products/jostle/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (234 reviews)
