"IBM Verse Review "

2/5

What do you like best about HCL Verse?

Ability to view other people's calendars. Smartcloud Notes Web mail view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HCL Verse?

IBM Verse mail view. The fact that Smartcloud Notes Web doesn't always work smoothly as it is not the recommended viewing portal for mail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering HCL Verse:

I think that Outlook or Gmail is more agile, but Verse is sufficient for most business purposes. Having used Outlook and Gmail for business email purposes in the past, I must admit I prefer their software and find it more user-friendly on the whole. Verse takes a little while to get used to using it, as a platform it is quite different from others and navigating around it can feel rather clunky. However, I find that using the Smartcloud Notes Web helps to improve the overall experience for using the mail functionality. The software defaults to IBM Verse mail view, which I do not like so much. Calendar functionality is good because it enables you to view other people's calendars, but poor in that once somebody declines a meeting invitation, if they do not click on a very small 'keep me notified' button then they do not receive a notification when the meeting is rescheduled to a time that does work in their diaries.

What problems is HCL Verse solving and how is that benefiting you?

Only this week we discovered the sharing screen remote meeting functionality, which is a great tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Average"

2.5/5

What do you like best about HCL Verse?

It is a pretty sleek browser-based version to use LotusNotes. It is relatively easy to use and the complexity is nicely hidden. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HCL Verse?

It still needs work on some basic functionality. For example, I found it difficult to share calendar entries. I also could not add an external calendar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
