We’re tremendously proud and smiling with pride: Forrester Research placed Jive’s external community platform, Jive-x, as a Leader in “The Forrester Wave™: Social Depth Platforms, Q2 2015.” What’s more, out of the four Leaders in this space, Jive had the highest score in the ‘current offering’ category.

Here are some of our favorite highlights from the report, which make it clear to us why Forrester named Jive a Leader:

Jive offers a mobile and user friendly platform that is a customer favorite.

Jive received high marks for its advanced mobile features and ease of use: the two primary ingredients for accelerating user adoption of the platform.

Customer references were favorable, touting Jive’s professional services and customer-centricity as highlights (and a primary reason for switching to Jive from other competitors)

Recognition like this isn’t just handed out like a participation ribbon: we’re so pleased to see how analysts recognize what many customers already know: that Jive is a leader in this space. To us, it also validates how with Jive-x, organizations can deploy world class external communities that deliver true business value.

With Jive-x, organizations have a social community platform where they can engage with the most important part of their business: their prospects, customers, champions and partners. It’s a reliable platform with a clear roadmap to deliver innovation and ongoing value; a platform companies can turn to when the promises from other vendors fail to materialize—above all, it’s a platform you can trust.
