It is completely mobile ,therefore I am able to use Jive while on the move to follow current company news , access my Jive inbox and manage all of my communications , while also being able to create and share documents. > > **Cons**: The Jive homepage is overly crowded , making Jive difficult to navigate.Personally,I see the Jive user interface as un-intuitive. ----- ### "Jive helps us stay connected\!" — 4.0/5 > **Mandie** | *2 August 2022* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: We use Jive for our phone system and it sends after hour calls to my cell phone via email. > > **Cons**: We are looking for a training for our front desk team to learn more about the features. ----- ### "Overall a good product but could use better customer service." — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *28 December 2017* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: The UX/UI for the end user is very good. I conduct training for all of our new hires and they find it easy to use and navigate. Several different options allow for some customization of "places" and the admin console is quite robust in terms of permissions, email notifications, and news feed structure. The free mobile app functions as a great extension of the web app. They seem to be on the verge of greatness in terms of fine-tuning what they current offer and expanding into new features. > > **Cons**: When we first started using Jive about 3 years ago, the customer service was pretty good, but since it was acquired, the new focus seems to be less on keeping their previously good customer service and more on pushing current customers to upgrade (and spend more money). While they may still be transitioning due to the acquisition, I get the sense that Jive could be really great only if they stop treating their customers like prospects with a lot of extra money in their budgets to spend on upgrades and consultant fees, and start providing the same level of customer service. ----- ### "Good tool for intranet site or internal wiki" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *15 December 2017* | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Used for an internal company site, Jive is a simple, user-friendly tool to allow employees to easily collaborate and communicate in their work and other initiatives. I've also found it's very handy for the sharing of documents, and the ability to limit visibility of those documents where necessary is a definite plus. > > **Cons**: There is not much to dislike once you get used to it, which doesn't take long. The only place in which I've found it can be a little buggy is my personal feed of updates I'm following in my inbox, which does not always mark items as read when I want it to. > > Improved collaboration, and once it had been adopted widely across the company, the internal site we built using it became a must-visit destination each day because it made it easy to quickly see what's going on around our large company. ----- ### "OK product let down by weak features & poor support" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *16 August 2020* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Good search function. Well laid out structure. Excellent Office integration for file control > > **Cons**: terrible support. Extracting data is hard/slow. Lack of development with no major features for years. SImple expected features not native such as polls. Very little third party add-in support > > Poor account management, poor support. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/105054/jive?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/105054/jive) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
