REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - Aug. 27, 2009 - CubeTree today announced that in a recent review of market-leading enterprise collaboration suites, InfoWorld gave CubeTree high marks for its value, usability and speed of innovation, telling its readers, "you should pilot this product."
The InfoWorld review shifted away from traditional collaboration tools that "lack a way for workers to connect without formalities - which is a main way knowledge discovery and innovation happens." Instead, the review "identified four solutions that encompass hosted or on-premise blogging, wiki, and community packages" - validating the business value of integrated social software suites over point solutions.
"We are honored to have CubeTree recognized by InfoWorld," said Carlin Wiegner, chief executive officer and co-founder of CubeTree. "We believe CubeTree's development agility, facilitated by our hosted model, has enabled us to establish ourselves among the leaders in enterprise social software suites in less than two years."
According to the review, "CubeTree's secure, cloud-based enterprise collaboration suite (hosted at Rackspace) impresses on many fronts. To begin, there’s value, with the standard version free for life, for unlimited users. Collaboration tools (wikis, microblogging, blogs, file sharing, and user profiles) match the usability of popular consumer social networking sites." As a cloud-based solution, CubeTree is a vanguard for enterprise social software, as technology vendors across the market move to cloud-based offerings to meet the growing demands of enterprises adopting them.
InfoWorld also praised CubeTree's usability throughout the review, and singled out its speed of innovation by stating, "If we had scoring categories for development speed and agility, CubeTree would earn 10 in both. This relative newcomer is pumping out updates almost weekly (I tested update 63), and each adds real functionality."
In addition, the review commended CubeTree's security - a necessity for today’s enterprises: "Overall, CubeTree's feed architecture and other collaboration tools are top performers. Add in the best security model of the cloud services we reviewed and you get strong competition to the more established products."
