It is easy for admin to define users with roles,permission and group management. Pros eXo platform provides features like calender for defining tasks,events and meetings with reminder functionality, chat application with video confrencing, Blog engine for writing blogs and sharing information, WebDAV support for sharing of documents. Cons In Older version of eXo platform some time it distorts UI and UX but after releasing new eXo platform 4.1 version they are fixed and lots of new functionality added. Review Source Response from eXo January 28, 2015 Glad we could fix your issues with the new version. Thanks! Jean F. CTO Used the software for: ### "Much more than a social platform" January 2, 2015 4.0 We started using eXo as a substitute for facebook's and Google's Social media platforms. What we ended up with is a much more feature rich way of doing business, interact and get things done. eXo proved to be the way of making people using social media tools to work better. Now we have the best of both worlds! Pros Easy to use interface with natural learning. All in one platform, including file sharing. Cons No cons, the installation requires a bit of understanding of linux (our preferred system), but otherwise just plain easy. Review Source Response from eXo January 28, 2015 No cons, yay! Thank you for the great review aJ aliah J. Used the software for: ### "not an open source platform as advertise in the search engine."

It's very friendly to use and also easy to develop your own portlets into it. It surely helped our organization to be more productive and effective Review Source √ Andre L. Co Founder Used the software for: ### "Great Software but hard to start" January 30, 2015 4.0 I tried eXo and it amazed me for all the features and things you can do to better organize you company. In spite of that, I found it very hard to start using it. The amount of things on the page that demand the attention made me open a few tabs just to catch up with everything. Also, I found it hard to understand and how to actually get started. Pros Incredible number of add-ons and features. Very good reliability. Cons Not fully translated, making some pages bilingual. Hard to get started as it delivers a great deal of its features right away. Review Source Alex R. IT Military Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great way to interconnect. Very well put together." March 14, 2018 5.0 I am able to save time at work Pros Love the UI. Big number of add-ons and features. Very reliable. It was very easy to use once I got the hang of it. A little intimidating at first but doesn't take long to get used to. Review Source Russ B. Information Technology and Services Used the software for: ### "Awesome!" January 30, 2015 5.0 I am a huge fan of eXo Platform. The software is the easiest to install and use, from the install/admin side, as well as fluid from the user's perspective. Many of my staff where this has been implemented have an aversion to computers, but they were able to pick up interacting with eXo easily. I would recommend this to anyone who manages an intranet or needs a collaboration suite. Pros Easy to use, easy to install Cons Plugins/add-ons are limited and can be confusing. Review Source Fabio P. Analista de Sistemas/Desenvolvedor Java Jr Used the software for: ### "Amazing Social Platform" December 15, 2014 5.0 Very well integrated social collaboration software.

Knowledge Managament Manager Events Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Super Quick Intranet Deployment" March 14, 2018 4.0 Pros It is so intuitive to enable social intranet in an organization. The layout is easy to understand even without proper training which can roll out right away. Also, the administration of user is easy which administrator can be dedicated to users to self-manage the groups. Cons I like the least is there is lack of eye candies, but it could be easily customization with custom coding and CSS style. Review Source Fernando M.

Review Source TN Tal N. Software Engineer Business Supplies and Equipment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Fantastic product and innovative collaborative tool" March 12, 2019 5.0 eXo Platform is a relatively new app, that can be helpful for corporation and communication on all different levels. I think, it is best suited for medium to large sized companies, as it has so many functions, most of which is not beneficial for small teams. Pros Without a doubt, eXo Platform provides everything you may need to put into action your innovative digital work base or customer experience solution. This app design in a way that it helps you to get real work done, without the platform being the part of the work. Because it is cloud-based, you can easily share any kind of data with your co-workers, which makes collaboration so much easier. If you are looking for a multifunctional social collaboration platform for the enterprise, I suggest you try eXo Platform, as it has an entirely new and sophisticated approach towards collaboration and communication between coworkers. Cons This platform is constantly developing, so every week you are faced with different types of updates, which can be annoying. Plus, the app is packed with different functions, some of with you may never use. As a result the interface looks cluttered and not particularly user-friendly. Also, the integration with other applications can be complicated and requires a lot of user experience as well, as blunt luck. Review Source ÒF Òscar F. CEO Used the software for: ### "Your open source enterprise social network" November 15, 2014 4.0 This great piece of software build on top of GateIn portal will give you all GateIn features (Content Management, Single Sign-On, LDAP support, etc) and much more. Using eXo Platform we created a secure portal-based site and an intranet that encourages employees in an organization to exchange knowledge, documents, work collaboratively, task management, contact data... All done socially and mobile. Some Features: 1. Microblogging and Activity Streams Activity Stream displays text messages or multimedia content posted by employees , customers, suppliers. It is where you'll find all your company's activity. 2. Document Management Take advantage of version history, rollbacks, votes, comments and more. It lets you store files in a private and secure environment, in other business systems like SharePoint, or in other cloud storage solutions, such as Google Drive or CMIS repositories. 3. Knowledge Management Wikis, Forums, Calendar, Answers & FAQ 4.- Profile Management It's possible to manage and organize all the contacts in your organization in a single directory, together with information on their professional profile. 5.- Groups Create your own collaboration spaces complete with dashboards, discussion forums, wikis, calendars, and documents. Allow any user to create a collaborative space and invite other users to join with different permissions according to roles 6.- Search eXo includes an ElasticSearch based search tool segmented according to the sections and contents in your intranet, indexing other contents published by other systems, making it a federated search tool for your organization's entire knowledge base. 7. Add-ons Marketplace Apart from its native features, you can also integrate eXo with other business applications, productivity tools like BonitaBPM, JasperReports Server, etc. 8.- Mobile Native iOS and Android app. The Cons: We not found any except the lack of a feature found on other enterprise social networks like Yammer (gammification). Anyway, It's open sourced so you can extend it easly! Review Source Response from eXo December 17, 2014 Hi Oscar, Amazing to read so much details in your review, thank you very much! About gamification, it's a topic we are currently working on so we would love to get your feedback and ideas on eXo community website.
