A flexible solution that improves our administrative efficiency
We use Jive-n for followups on details regarding purchase orders, shipping documents, and other information 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. This solution provides great flexibility of permission…
Arun Srivastav - PeerSpot reviewer
Seamless presentation and collaboration enhance organizational productivity
There are three main areas for improvement: Firstly, AI capabilities should be integrated into Microsoft Teams to provide better transcript services and offer multiple language support. Secondly, it should allow participants to remain visible during presentations, enhancing interaction. Lastly, it needs broader integration capabilities with other products, like Salesforce, which is currently limited.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Teams integrates with a lot of our technologies, especially features like the Teams channels."
"The Audio Call feature is its most valuable feature."
"It is simple to schedule meetings in Teams. There are also plugins available from the Microsoft store that can be integrated with the solution. You can edit documents in the tool itself."
"When comparing similar solutions, there aren't many differences between them, but the best feature I would highlight is the quality and stability of their platform."
"We can build a team with a group of people and upload documents."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams is its video calling feature which makes it easier to work on the solution."
"Setting up Teams was not difficult."
"The most valuable features are the messaging and the video calling, especially where you can add a background."
 

Cons

"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"The solution needs to be integrated with Microsoft Planner. I have also faced issues with stability in the first month."
"Microsoft Teams could work faster if set up on other devices like cell phones."
"The solution should standardize the options across platforms. What I mean by that is, sometimes, on the mobile, there are not the same options and set up features and functions as are available on the web or on the desktop app. Everything should have the exact same functionality, otherwise, it's difficult if some people are on mobile and others are on desktop."
"Sometimes, other participants cannot see the shared screen during meetings. The tool also needs to automatically switch to devices as we change them. When I try to switch audio from speaker to Bluetooth, I have to manually do that."
"The Teams functions can be improved and some other package should be introduced."
"One thing that could be improved is the auto-correction feature. When we type, we often send messages with spelling errors. While there is an edit feature to correct these mistakes, I think spelling-checking capabilities could still be improved."
"The chat option in the Teams tab is not very helpful. We don't use it very often. There is also an expiration on the recordings. It would be useful to not have a time limit."
"On rare occasions, it freezes and some people will lose sound or they could lose video."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is priced high."
"The product is expensive, and I rate its pricing a ten out of ten."
"The solution's pricing is fair enough and not expensive. Teams' licensing costs are yearly. However, Zoom is less expensive."
"We are using the free version of the solutions."
"We are satisfied with the price of this solution."
"We don't have to pay for the solution."
"I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten."
"Microsoft Teams is priced less than other solutions, such as Bridge."

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…
