"Sametime may be some other time"
5/5
What do you like best about HCL Sametime?

IBM Sametime is incredibly simple to use. It is straightforward and offers an easy to use chat experience.

Being able to set up team chats is a great feature. This allows us to keep a chat room focused on a singular topic if required.

Sametime is available for our team members on PC as well as on Macs. There is also a mobile app to keep people in touch when they are away from the office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HCL Sametime?

The mobile app is not that great for anything outside of straight up messaging.

We tried video chatting within Sametime without any real success. There were connection issues and the app would crash quite often. We switched to another product and had no problems.

IBM Sametime just looks outdated. The menus and contact list are not up to date from a UX perspective compared to many other popular chat apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
