Cons

More HCL Sametime Cons →

"Support should be improved. Most of the time, the queries are not resolved within the SLA.""The solution should improve the mailing list feature. Google has a similar feature where you can automate sending files to different people in a sequence, but that feature is no longer available in the current version of IceWarp. Other features may also have been removed in the current version.""Although it is not a tool, video conferencing should be scalable and operate in a professional and efficient way.""I would like to have a trial for mobile applications and more documentation similar to Google Drive with mobile applications.""With multiple databases for VOIP, chat and web IMAP, maintenance is cumbersome.""The tool's configuration capabilities are not straightforward. Apart from that, if I want to archive emails into a vault so that they can be retrieved again later, the integration doesn't work, and IceWarp crashes.""Our customers sometimes have problems receiving mail.""It is difficult to disable user rights on the console so some users accidentally delete their documents or user details."
