Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros
"The most valuable feature is the mail server.""HCL Verse has a nice interface and it is a practical email solution. There are a diverse set of features, such as the search bar on top of the screens."

More HCL Verse Pros →

"It has great communication capabilities for team chatting and web conferences.""The solution has a very good log-in to the UI when compared to other solutions.""An effective, functional, very good tool for controlling resources.""Its price is the most valuable. It is definitely one of the lowest price solutions.""It's scalable and stable.""IceWarp has multiple applications that are easy to use for many people.""The product is used very extensively in my company since we have around 1,500 users using it.

Cons
"Security is very important to us, so improvements to this functionality are welcome.""The solution could improve by allowing us to use a color that we want in the editing boxes."

More HCL Verse Cons →

"Although it is not a tool, video conferencing should be scalable and operate in a professional and efficient way.""The solution should improve the mailing list feature. Google has a similar feature where you can automate sending files to different people in a sequence, but that feature is no longer available in the current version of IceWarp. Other features may also have been removed in the current version.""I would like to have a trial for mobile applications and more documentation similar to Google Drive with mobile applications.""With multiple databases for VOIP, chat and web IMAP, maintenance is cumbersome.""Support should be improved. Most of the time, the queries are not resolved within the SLA.""Our customers sometimes have problems receiving mail.""It is difficult to disable user rights on the console so some users accidentally delete their documents or user details.""The tool's configuration capabilities are not straightforward. Apart from that, if I want to archive emails into a vault so that they can be retrieved again later, the integration doesn't work, and IceWarp crashes."
