More Jive Pros →

"The most valuable features of Microsoft Teams are video conferencing, chat function, and the one that shows you that you've got new messages.""This is a reliable and stable solution.""The product has improved communication in our organization.""Microsoft Teams is bundled with Microsoft, so that's the number one valuable feature for me. It's easy to use.""The tool makes it easy for us to book meetings. It seamlessly integrates with the Office application which we are using for the last four years.""I like the solution's chat and meeting feature. We have different teams and the product helps us to communicate fastly. Within five minutes all the teams can be on the same page.""All of the solution's features are useful since we use it for saving data, chatting, meeting, and all such purposes.""In general, Teams allows me to connect with anyone in the organization and share files with the team."

Cons
"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."

More Jive Cons →

"It takes me time to adapt to the new improvements in the product, and they don't add too much value for me. I would prefer Microsoft Teams to reduce their frequent updates.""The solution needs to be integrated with Microsoft Planner. I have also faced issues with stability in the first month.""I don't like the online version of Word and Excel. It skews the layout. It is no longer representative of the layout that you actually have in a document. You always have to open it in the desktop application to get an accurate representation of how the document will look.""The remote control needs some improvement.""One area where the product could be improved is its operational memory utilization.""It would be good if the solution had some sort of AI built into it while taking the transcript so that at least the sentences made sense.""The solution is very expensive and I won't be able to afford it personally.""Microsoft Teams' current features are not user-friendly, making it difficult for end-users to locate and understand them. There have also been issues with crashes, which is a concern in the current scenario."

    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 round-up of a couple of the more well known platforms and compare their products to Drupal. In this roundup we will be comparing Jive, Sharepoint and Drupal Commons.

There are many other options out there, commercial and otherwise, to compare with Drupal but I want to focus on Jive and Sharepoint for a couple of reasons. I chose Jive because it is one of the leading competitors in this space in respect to market share. Next, I chose Sharepoint because I have some history with Sharepoint. This experience dates back to when I built www.adhe.edu with Sharepoint 2007 a few years ago. I subsequently wrote this blog entry about my experience shortly after joining Mediacurrent. This roundup will also act as a refresher for those who read my original “Drupal vs. Sharepoint” blog. Yammer, which was recently bought by Microsoft and is the tool we currently use for office communication will also get some mentions throughout this article. As I went through and tested each of these tools I used three main criteria in my evaluation Cost Ability to Customize Overall features… Read more →
