I enjoy the fact that there are multiple features within Oracle that make is easier to work efficiently as a company. From scheduling events, setting up email groups & even sharing files to different groups, Oracle helped our company to run on a more collaborative level.

The interface seems a bit behind in terms of technological features, & some aspects of the different modules feel like they have more set-up steps than necessary, but no issues other than that!

  ### 6. Oracle Beehive is a collaboration tool which is a very powerful tood

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Beehive?**

We have used Oracle Beehive for business communication. This is a very  good collaboration tool that provides screen sharing in business meetings. There are several integrated modules which provide access to strong modules such  as conferencing and wiki pages. You can use multiple workspaces with different levels of privacy makes remote communication very easy. 

**What do you dislike about Oracle Beehive?**

A couple of features are not available on this software which does prevent it from being one of the best in class. It does not have strong email capability and it does not allow for automated tracking of employee or contractor hours. This leaves the tracking of hours worked up to the contractor or employee which is not very practical.  

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Beehive:**

This tool is a fantastic collaboration tool that integrates many functions which previously were handled by several separate platforms. The tool is friendly to users, quick ramp up and strong ongoing support.  

**What problems is Oracle Beehive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Oracle Beehive consolidates functions which were stand alone functions in our previous environment. We used different services for collaboration, communication, conferencing, instant messaging, email, calendar, and team work spaces. 

  ### 7. Pleasantly surprising. 

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Beehive?**

The workspaces, conferencing, email events, and wiki pages are all very useful and essential to us. As is the integration with Microsoft Outlook which allows us to update meetings and events and launch conferences. I end up using each of the modules almost every single day, and the workspace makes it very easy to organize different projects.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Beehive?**

The user interface for Oracle Beehive is a bit dated, and the built in email client (Zimbra) needs to be improved because it currently does not have all the capabilities an email client should have (although most of us end up using Microsoft Outlook anyway and only access Zimbra when we are not at our own computers).

**What problems is Oracle Beehive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Oracle Beehive addresses many of our business problems. We use this platform to collaborate on difference projects in the company, store files for easy access, video conferencing, and to schedule events and notify colleagues of meetings and planned vacations, etc.

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Beehive:**

This is a very useful set of programs and tools. One of the best things about Oracle Beehive is the fact that you can set up any number of workspaces, invite different people to each, choose to publicly share some of the files in that workspace (or keep them all private) and you can also set different access levels and rights for each participant in the workspace.

As a company we are very happy with Oracle Beehive and its capabilities. 

**What problems is Oracle Beehive solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Oracle Beehive addresses many of our business problems. We use this platform to collaborate on difference projects in the company, store files for easy access, video conferencing, and to schedule events and notify colleagues of meetings and planned vacations, etc.
