Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the mail server.""HCL Verse has a nice interface and it is a practical email solution. There are a diverse set of features, such as the search bar on top of the screens."

More HCL Verse Pros →

"The most valuable feature for me is the chat.""Message and chat retention is a valuable feature.""We like it because it makes it easy to communicate, chat, make video calls, and schedule meetings with people.""Setting up Teams was not difficult.""The product is more convenient than taking a plane to Australia. Going to Australia can take around two days. The tool is much quicker. The video conferencing feature has improved our productivity.""The most valuable features of Microsoft Teams are scheduling a meeting and integration with other Microsoft services like SharePoint and OneDrive.""The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams is its video calling feature which makes it easier to work on the solution.""It is a scalable solution."

Cons
"The solution could improve by allowing us to use a color that we want in the editing boxes.""Security is very important to us, so improvements to this functionality are welcome."

More HCL Verse Cons →

"There's a feature that can send a notification to Team's channel, but I think there's no way to have it escalated on something like that.""If it's a group chat, then we can record the session, but we cannot record a one on one session.""I would like to see Outlook options added to this solution.""The software could be optimized for Mac systems because sometimes it is slow and consumes a lot of memory.""The solution needs to have subtitles.""Microsoft Teams could improve because it is heavy on bandwidth. We have some access points and when we have 30 or 40 users on it with Microsoft Teams calls can drop. WebEx does not use as much bandwidth.""It could be improved if it was easier to use and the interface was revamped.""The solution's customer support should be faster and more responsive."

    Top Answer:The pricing is okay. The higher education department manages the subscription, so I am unaware of the licensing costs.
