Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Exo is an excellent platform, very useful, and easy to handle. I love that it has tools with which I can share my documents and information in a very agile way; it has video calls that help the team a lot, a calendar, task management. It has an excellent combination of an intranet and a corporate social network.

Pros

Share documents and information with the team.
Great combination with the company's intranet and social network.
Document repository that helps me find the files I need faster.

Cons

I have everything I need on the platform, nothing to complain.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is software that facilitates the optimization of communications in the company and centralizes a lot of knowledge. An easy-to-handle system. Something to improve would be the UI as it needs to be always updated.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use this platform as a social collaboration tool. We use the community edition for free with a lot of ready-to-use features. Documentation is a useful feature for us. As a Java opensource platform you can customize everything. We did a lot of changes in-profile and run some of our services on it.

Pros

Customizable.
Built-in features.
Web-based platform.

Cons

Customizing some features can take a lot of time.

Likelihood to Recommend

eXo Platform is a java based open source with great ready to use features that could be used as social enterprise systems. We use this platform as a social collaboration place for an industrial association.

August 23, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The eXo platform is being used by our entire organization. It is used to connect employees of all departments and provide a unique platform for communication, information exchange, document management and team building. It is helping us with disconnected groups throughout the organization and allows us to gather them. It offers an excellent solution to these needs while emphasizing social collaboration and project organization in our company.

Pros

It is easy to use and install on any operating system. With a simple but elegant interface.
The chat and file sharing functions are very effective.
Status and activity updates, document sharing and administration tools work efficiently.
The cloud platform allows users to easily share information and files, and collaborate on project work.
Another benefit of this is that it makes mobile collaboration possible.

Cons

It has a considerable learning curve.
The initial adoption in a corporate environment implies integration with other applications, it has to improve this aspect.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is especially suitable for working together remotely or from disconnected locations, allowing them to access collaborative work and tools to facilitate communication. Internal and cloud options also seem to offer a flexible adoption roadmap. It addresses the problems of efficient collaboration and effective communication between employees, particularly with regard to working and completing projects.

Give eXo Platform a try

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

August 5, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In my company, eXo platform is being used by a department to solve some architectural needs and to provide, the customer and the final client, some important features only the eXo platform offered ready-to-use.

This was the case of the video meeting, the events handling and schedulation, the chat feature, and others.

Pros

Support from the eXo platform team for developers is very accurate
Handling users is easy and complete
Everything is very easy to start up

Cons

From my point of view, I'd have added the multi-tenant support in order to handle, with the same application, more customers.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited everywhere a "social" and group approach is encountered.

For example, it is especially suggested for an intranet application.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE:

Less suggested, for example, if too many customizations are planned to be developed. It could be difficult to update some functions to the new releases' API or to change every customization in configuration files.

Discovering EXO Platform

Rating: 8 out of 10

August 23, 2017

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We're discovering this platform. Our goal was to replace all DMS and CMS systems, using only a collaborative platform with a complete set of functionalities. After few weeks, the feedback is quite good, it seems easy to use and personalize. Reviewers can see all comments in an easy way, resulting in less duplication and in a collaborative feel. Overall project management is made easier and easy to afford. The UI is quite easy to manage and is very intuitive.

Pros

Very good UI and Look and Feel
Collaboration oriented
Resource sharing between users is improved

Cons

It's not so simple to create sub-sites
User management is quite tricky
Overall configuration is not easy

Likelihood to Recommend

In our scenario, we're using it for DMS, too. The DMS functionalities are suited only for small enterprises because when the number of resources increases it becomes harder to manage overall configuration. Anyway software is quite easy to use from an end-user point of view and it increases collaboration, especially when the team is already suited to use collaborative tools.

Why eXo Platform Rocks!

Rating: 10 out of 10

May 6, 2015

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Within my organization, eXo Platform is utilized across the entire company. It addresses the issues of efficient collaboration and effective communication between employees, particularly in regards to working on and completing projects.

Pros

I personally love the user-friendly interface. Often you find software which is difficult to learn, and not utilized as often as it should be because of this. With eXo Platform, the interface is easy to understand, and is not particularly challenging to new users and non-tech savvy individuals.
It allows you to get work done, without feeling like using the platform is part of the actual work. It feels more like a natural system you would use in your leisure time to connect with friends and family, rather than a social intranet designed to facilitate employee communication and help you meet project deadlines.
The cloud platform allows users to easily share information and files, and collaborate on project work. Another benefit to this is it makes mobile collaboration possible.

Cons

There aren't really any areas I have discovered within eXo Platform that have been disappointing. I believe the company has done a wonderful job creating an intuitive, user-friendly product to assist organizations' overall communication and productivity.

Likelihood to Recommend

For an organization which is particularly project-based, and values the accessibility provided by the cloud platform, eXo Platform offers an excellent solution to these needs while emphasizing social collaboration and project organization. It is especially well-suited for employees who work together remotely or from disjointed locations, allowing them access to collaborative work and tools for easy communication.

eXo Platform does the job!!

March 7, 2015

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

eXo Platform is being used to connect employees from across department and geographies and provide them a single platform for communication, information sharing, document management and team building. It's helping us with disconnected groups across the organization and lets us bring them together. It is pretty intuitive and easy to use. eXo is our own "Facebook" where people can come connect and have discussions.

Pros

Intuitive interface and ease of use and understanding.
Flexible to customize with good frameworks which are easy to manage.
All in one solution for collaboration and to help go email less where all communication, assets, conversations are possible through one platform.

Cons

Web Content management could be more flexible with additional portlets which can be used to create websites.

Likelihood to Recommend

Ask about security, DLP, LDAP integration, google drive integration and exchange sync.

Chat could have a standalone version.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Using eXo Platform we created a secure portal-based site and an intranet that encourages employees in an organization for: exchanging knowledge and documents, working collaboratively, task management and contact data. These can all be done socially and via mobile.

<div>

</div><div>eXo is an enterprise social network that will improve productivity across the board in all members of the company. It's very feature rich so if you want your organization's knowledge, private, secure and organized then you have to try it!</div>

Pros

eXo platform is easy to use and easy to install.
eXo Platform is the first cloud-ready enterprise portal and user experience platform-as-a-service (UXPaaS) for building and deploying transactional websites.
eXo Platform allows customers to take advantage of the benefits of cloud deployments

Cons

The eXo Platform can not provide the more custom application for user, like DMS
Maybe some official brochure is needed too

Likelihood to Recommend

There is a right app for each purpose - wiki for documentation and forums for support. I found eXo Platform is best suited for managing our websites and managing our documents.

Could eXo Platform be the new challenger for corporate intranets?

Rating: 8 out of 10

February 10, 2015

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Although still very new with the eXo Platform, it looks like it can effectively address a number of issues in managing corporate communication, collaboration and sunchronisation. The social features are definitely a plus in focusing and enhancing the internal human capital. The in-house and cloud options seem to offer a flexible adoption road map too.

Pros

The private social intranet is a great tool for concentrating internal human capital.
Spaces are a good tool for internal working groups or project teams.
Status and activity updates, document sharing and management tools are great for enhancing communication and collaboration among company and group members.

Cons

As the platform appears to be packed with features and functionality it may be a bit daunting at first to get used to it.
The initial adoption in a corporate setting would involve a number of questions, such as integration with other applications, data migration and security and the optimum adoption road map in order to maximise the benefit from the platform.

Likelihood to Recommend

Issues need to be addressed in a corporate setting where features/functions coincide with functionality of other applications (e.g. mail, calendar, document store etc.)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I tried eXo Platform and it amazed me because of all the features and things you can do to better organize your company. In spite of that, I found it very hard to start using it. The amount of things on the page that demand attention made me open a few tabs just to catch up with everything. Also, I found it hard to understand 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.

Likelihood to Recommend

eXo Platform is best suited for medium to large sized companies.
