Software para trabajo en grupo
Explanation:
This is a more popular solution that the one I gave you before, thou I consider both of them to be correct.

The first reference is a Web site of a Spanish University all about "Groupware".

In the second reference you will find:

Capítulo 18: Asegurar la disponibilidad de aplicaciones y ...
... SQL Server ™ u otra base de datos; Microsoft Exchange Server u otro software paratrabajo en grupo; Microsoft Servicios de Internet Information Server (IIS) u ...

Just a final comment: I think answer number one it is fine (because the concept of Groupware in your example is the one explained there) thou I do not think it is the best solution. Using it you will translate "aplicaciones para trabajo colectivo". But the combination of "Groupware" with "applications" turns the concept in "groupware" in the sense of my previous definition. That's why the solution for "Groupware applications" is found in "software para trabajo en grupo", which very much an accepted translation for "groupware".
I really hope this will help you more than confuse you.

Groupware (trabajo colaborativo)


Explanation:
You can use the same term in English, although the Spanish equivalent is Trabajo Coaborativo, according to the following reference:

En esta edición al igual que todas las anteriores hemos querido contribuir con nuestros apreciados lectores y amigos, ampliando un poco más algunos conceptos referentes a estas nuevas tecnologías. Le toca el turno ahora a una de las más incipientes tecnologías de interacción personal y comercial del mundo de los negocios "El Groupware" o también llamado "Trabajo Colaborativo".

Programas para trabajo en grupo


Explanation:
I give you the definition first:

Groupware refers to programs that help people work together collectively while located remotely from each other. Groupware services can include the sharing of calendars, collective writing, e-mail handling, shared database access, electronic meetings with each person able to see and display information to others, and other activities. Some product examples of groupware include Lotus Notes and Microsoft Exchange, both of which facilititate calendar sharing, e-mail handling, and the replication of files across a distributed system so that all users can view the same information. Electronic "face-to-face" meetings are facilitated by CU-SeeMe and Microsoft NetMeeting.

Programas para trabajo en grupo. I found this solution in:
http://jamillan.com/v_wares.htm#

Next comes the context (you will find more using any search engine):

... de mensajería, base de datos, aplicaciones y conjuntos de programas para trabajo
