Jive Chime

Jive Chime is a lightweight and very simple to handle piece of software created to function as a chat client for your company’s employees, allowing them to use their professional email address as a means of connecting with work mates.

Regarding the look and feel of the application, it is safe to say that it will pose no difficulty to anyone, no matter the prior experience with such tools, as its clean and simple GUI is a breeze to work with.

The main window of Jive Chime allows you to view available contacts and send them messages, as well as files. While the central section of the interface will display ongoing conversations, in a side panel, you can view more details about the person you are talking to.

To get things started, you first need to login to the program by using a company-issued email address; popular email services are not supported. Jive Chime will automatically group employees whose email domain matches, so there is nothing special you need to do, such as add friends to populate the contacts list.

Moreover, the utility does not require you to memorize any additional usernames and passwords; whenever you wish to login, you need to input your email address and a five-digit number will be sent to your Inbox, valid for only one use and one day. This code will act as a passkey, thus significantly lowering the risk of someone accessing your account without your permission.

Aside from supporting regular conversations and emoticons, Jive Chime also features a file transfer function, but it is currently implemented to support only image files; however, other formats will most likely be added in the future.

To conclude, Jive Chime is a useful and practical messenger tool that you can use for exchanging information with teammates, share files or other similar tasks. It simplicity coupled with the fairly distinct login method make it a good option for your business’ chat client.
