Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We were in search of one software which can help us manage a whole lot of things. The software that stood out for us is this. We are able to use a whole lot of its features starting from the mail, messaging, video conferencing, etc.

Pros

Video conferencing - The features it provides is apart from any standalone.
Mail messenger `
Instant messaging

Cons

The main aspect is the cost - They should trim it down a bit.
My pears have told me this. Even i am telling the same - The interface just fails to grab that attention. High time the team should work on this.
Though many aspects are brought into one product, they lacked to provide individual attention to each feature (like a messaging app) and improvise it.

Return on Investment

If one uses all its features to its optimum, I think they can go for break-even within around 1 year. We were able to achieve it. It helped us grab many projects.

Pros

One of the things that Beehive Enterprise Collaboration Server does well is providing a platform for collaborative communication. Various people from various ranks within the organization can interactively exchange ideas safely through the use of awesome tools provided by this software.
Another thing it does well is enabling a centralized management. A senior manager does not necessarily need to keep moving from one point to another to communicate. Basically, with this software, he/she communicate from the comfort of his chair across all the departments.
Generally, the software does really well in simplifying system administration, in that, it allows the IT department to wholly and easily enforce security and compliance requirements.

Cons

The only area that the software has room for improvement is in the mail part. To a large extent, the email capabilities to the Oracle Beehive Enterprise Collaborative Server is not user-friendly. My opinion is that if the mail option was made in a more separate appearance to that of the calendar, task management, and address books it would appear more user-friendly.

Return on Investment

The software has enabled has enabled my business to have a choice in messaging the client. This has enabled the organization to realize growth since it can optimize productivity through customers who best fit the organization's aims.
The software has also enabled the organization to realize a centralized and simplified management. To a large extent, the software has reduced the complexity of the management and has standardized system management.
