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 aJ aliah J. Used the software for: ### "not an open source platform as advertise in the search engine."

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.

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!

The user interface is well designed. It's easy to know what tasks are available under each section. Learning the system and interface is simple process.

CEO Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Your open source enterprise social network" March 22, 2016 5.0 Pros Open Source software and a good knowledge management system are mandatory nowadays. eXo is a social collaboration platform packed with a lot of features for organizations wanting to add a social dimension to their existing information system or build a social intranet. Cons eXo Platform creates real business value as it enables faster communication and better decision making across our whole organisation but it's difficult to engage employees without help.

Senior Specialist, Business Development Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Comprehensive tool!" March 23, 2016 4.0 Pros Comprehensive functionality for the enterprise social tool. Cons eXo is a company with creativity and very friendly. Review Source LN Lan N. Used the software for: ### "An interesting and useful platform" February 7, 2015 5.0 In my point of view, eXo is a great solution for both social and portal service demand based on its various features. I must say that it just likes a combination of everything from intranet, social network to blog, wiki,... everything in one. Therefore, with eXo, maybe I dont have to think of any other website since it has covered all what I want and all what I need. However, yes, everything has two sides, perhaps due to such a rich diversity, its processing speed gets troubles and makes people feel uncomfortable when using. I thought that, eXo now should focus more on refactoring its platform so that it can serve customers better. Having many functions is not yet good, but a quick response at least never causes people get mad. Review Source TC Thomas C.
