Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The most valuable feature is the mail server."

More HCL Verse Pros →

"The Audio Call feature is its most valuable feature.""Microsoft Teams can facilitate the broadcast of information and distribution of tasks through a single platform.""Microsoft Teams is much more stable than other solutions like Skype for Business.""Integration with document management capabilities and video conferencing.""You can add teams to a conversation. You can create reports, project plans, or many other things based on Microsoft solutions. It has improved communication between teams and within each team.""It has allowed for collaboration during the COVID-19 situation (work from home).""The most valuable feature is the ability to collaborate.""We like that you can get a lot of users on one call without the call actually failing or losing quality. Hosts can connect, if I recall correctly, up to 90,000 people. If you need a massive company-wide meeting, you can do it."

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 →

"The solution should offer a way for people to virtually raise their hands in a meeting so that everyone can speak. There's a user voice for this already, but it would help if there was some sort of visual cue as well.""The user interface is non-intuitive and should be improved.""The solution’s stability could be improved.""The solution's security features could be improved.""The Teams functions can be improved and some other package should be introduced.""In terms of functionality, I would like to see support for multi-user or multiple windows for the File structure.""Inability to call into meetings.""It would be good if the solution had some sort of AI built into it while taking the transcript so that at least the sentences made sense."
