Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It works fine feature-wise. The Cisco Jabber features that we use work okay.""The most valuable feature is the ability to talk with people in real-time, instead of sending texts.""The most valuable feature for me is that it shows who is available and who is not, as well as what their current status is."

More Cisco Jabber Pros →

"I can view the status and availability of colleagues or team members, which makes it easy to approach them when they are available."

More HCL Sametime Pros →

Cons
"There are issues in switching from one type of communication system to another. When I connect my wired earphone or Bluetooth earphone, Cisco Jabber doesn't switch automatically. There are some user experience issues that need to be fixed.""I presume that very small businesses would have a tough time justifying the investment.""Cisco Jabber is not a collaborative tool."

More Cisco Jabber Cons →

"The webinar should be integrated into Sametime for a larger number of participants."
