| Kierownik Biura Informatyki at EIB SA | 4.0 | I used HCL Sametime primarily for text communication, appreciating its online status visibility and security. However, it lacks modern features like file sharing, prompting us to switch to solutions like Microsoft Teams, and plan to discontinue Sametime soon. |
| Consultant and Research Analyst (Technology) at Frost & Sullivan Asia-Pacific | 4.5 | I use Sametime for internal communications, valuing its chat and status features. However, it often hangs, has limited file sharing/meeting participants, and poor video quality. These issues are frustrating me despite its benefits. |
| Support Analyst at a tech services company with 51-200 employees | 3.5 | I've used this for over two years, finding audio/video calls and faster communication valuable. However, the interface is dated, setup was complex and expensive, and community server stability/scalability posed some issues. |
| Project Manager at a non-tech company with 10,001+ employees | No summary available | |
| IT Administrator at a media company with 51-200 employees | 4.0 | I find this good communication and collaboration software simple, fast, and reliable, with smart auto-away status. However, I note it currently lacks telephony exchange, a key real-time communication feature. |
