Results-Oriented Interface
Groove 2007 features a results-oriented user interface that lets you manage and increase every team member's individual impact, simplify collaboration, streamline business processes and content management, and improve business insight. It also gives you access to a set of next-generation Web design tools, so you can deliver improved information management and teamwork solutions through a fully-integrated set of office utilities. It also gives you the option of working with new Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 capabilities, as well as Microsoft Office Communicator, to improve communication between members of your workgroup.

Quick and Easy Workspace Set-Up
Groove 2007 lets you easily create a new workspace right on your computer in just two clicks. Invite your colleagues and customers to join without worrying about networks or servers. Once you've established your workgroup, add tools to support your team's evolving needs: file-sharing, discussions, meetings, business forms, and more.

Stay Productive Online or Offline
All Groove workspaces, tools, and information are stored right on your computer so you can work productively anywhere you've got your laptop, whether you're connected to a network or not. Automatic synchronization keeps you and your team members up to date and you can update team information in the office, at a customer site, on the road, and from home.

Streamline Content Creation
Groove 2007 gives you the option to share, revise, and publish files all from a single workspace, so it's a snap to exchange document changes with your team members easily and efficiently. You can also use integrated alerts and contextual communication tools to shorten review cycles, or publish completed documents to SharePoint document libraries with one click for workflow, storage, and retrieval.

Out-of-the-Box Integration With Other Microsoft Programs
To help you access and share information stored in other applications, Groove 2007 lets you tap into Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007, and Microsoft Office Communicator. Further enhance team collaboration by synchronizing an SharePoint Server 2007 or SharePoint Services 3.0 document library with Groove 2007. Seamlessly collaborate on files in Groove and then publish to SharePoint Server 2007 or SharePoint Services 3.0 when you're done. You can even import your InfoPath forms into Groove, which makes it easy to collect and track structured data in your team workspace, and export or synchronize results with enterprise systems. Finally, using the 2005 or 2007 versions of Office Communicator, you can make a phone call or start an instant messaging session from a Groove workspace.

1 out of 5 stars Expected more from the brains behind Lotus Notes   December 11, 2009
J. Kelley (Orange County, CA)

I've known about Groove since it was first delivered by my former Lotus and Iris colleagues. This was my first opportunity to use Groove in a heavily collaborative environment. Three companies, two in Canada, and one in the US. Sharing documents really shouldn't this difficult. On a different account, we're using SharePoint, but it requires VPN access. So, Microsoft offers a dozen ways to share files, but none are interoperable. It's no wonder that people are looking to Google for simple solutions.


4 out of 5 stars no improvement over 3.1, but it works   October 26, 2009
Richard Henderson
Upgraded from Groove 3.1. No real improvement, in fact it seems a little more selective in timing of messages sent and syncing with other co-workers. But, other than that - the possibilities with new plugins sounds interesting.


2 out of 5 stars Microsoft Groove 2007?   September 21, 2008

Though I received this product for free...

I have not really tried it out, for at least 30 days... I would say it has its issues, some down time, but it does allow users to upload files to a little server... so that users or groups can collaborate with each other, and if a user is not online and editing a file, it will automatically be up to date once that user logs in... which I consider truly amazing!

2 out of 5 stars Restrictive Limitations   January 18, 2008
R. Huizinga (Mercer Island, WA USA)
8 out of 9 found this review helpful

I have evaluated this product as an alternative to using the free Microsoft FolderShare service for syncronizing files & folders between my computers. I have found that there are some very restrictive limitations when configuring a file sharing workspace. More specifically, a file sharing workspace is limited to 2GB or 5,000 files, whichever comes first. Once the limit is reached, the files in the workspace will no longer be synchronized.

In these days of 4GB+ flash drives, having a 2GB file sharing limit is terribly restrictive. I have stopped using MS Groove as a result and am currently looking for a better alternative to FolderShare.



5 out of 5 stars Very Useful   October 30, 2007

1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Groove is a really useful product. My major in college allows us access to Groove through an agreement with Microsoft. It is used extensively by the students. The nature of our work is very group oriented. My group uses our workspace often, many times instead of meeting in person! It has allowed us flexibility to share ideas and files. We are a lot more productive because we can always share information. Creating workspaces is very simple. In fact, I have created personal workspaces with other members of the class just to share information and helps. The file-sharing workspace is amazing. I would recommend this product to anyone who needs to collaborate with others on a tight schedule.
