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 initial setup is straightforward and is definitely easy.""It helps us manage the email focus from our side.""The solution is easy to access, and you can bring your own device to access from anywhere.""The online version is faster, as it is a cloud instance. We can have massive mailbox capacity: 100 GB per user, which is huge. We can't provision such capacity internally, as the company would get burnt out paying for mailbox storage.""A valuable feature of the solution is its global usability.""Microsoft Exchange Online has great functionality.""Message trace is the most valuable feature of the product.""Microsoft Exchange Online is very simple and easy to use."

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

More HCL Verse Cons →

"I have found that Microsoft has vulnerabilities when it comes to Exchange Online. It has become the port of a lot of hacker attacks.""I would like to let new users know that there are challenges regarding user provisioning, HRMS and the AD. Also, the data migration integrity needs to be checked in terms of the old data.""Exchange Online's scalability could be improved.""I would like to make the solution more user-friendly.""I feel that there is a need for improvement in the product, considering that there are some concerns with the tool's integration capabilities.""Microsoft needs to lower the price of the extra production add-ins for Exchange Online.""Microsoft Exchange Online should have a faster search feature.""Microsoft Exchange Online can improve message delivery. There are times we receive a message that the email failed to be delivered, and there is no reason given. We sometimes have emails that are flagged as spam that are not. We cannot do anything about it because it's not managed by us, it's managed by Microsoft."
