IBM sametime is easy to use for messaging and file transfers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Performance is very poor, not so many features as in other competitor products. Very heavy memory usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's integration with IBM Cloud, its group management, its capacity to share files and most of all its range of personalization. Some widgets are also nice and of course the use of gifs in some conversations during a tense day of job is always something to thank. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like a more efficient environment with IBM Notes, if you use the mail, the connections and the sametime it can take a couple of minutes to load and in old hardware it is too slow sometimes, even in newer hardware it takes its time to load. When sharing files it has size limit that is a problem sometimes, but zipping also works to avoid those problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not always mobile access so you have to be logged into your PC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use and several options. You could even add other companies emails that used Sametime. I also loved the voice option that we could make calls and use remote access in meetings to avoid using our own phones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I did not like the version inside Lotus Notes due to the issues with Notes crashing and you'd also lose your chat. Although the group contact addition was a good feature, it wasn't always easy to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use, great tabbing functions, lots of options inside of chat. Easy to log past chats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its a simple to use instant messenger for office purpose, with all basic features like one to one chatting, group chat, media share etc. The best this about this messenger is its integrated with IMB lotus notes allowing continuous synchronization of contacts. Also its a robust and secure platform, which makes it ideal for office use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This scores very low in performance. You would often face frequent crashes and slow message exchanges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With Sametime you can immediately contact a coworker in your building. You can also see if they are available or not before you send a message. It's also a great way to tell if someone is likely at their desk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
