Network World released a test review of enterprise messaging solutions as part of the Clear Choice Tests in which Lotus Sametime came out on top of the pack.

“Sametime is a feature-rich environment for network-based collaboration and conferencing. It consists of the Sametime Server and client-based Sametime Connect software. Users can message each other via Sametime Connect or a Web browser, or from within Lotus Notes. Sametime Connect also can be launched directly and easily from within Microsoft Office and Outlook. All these points of entry worked well in the lab.

Sametime’s messaging interoperated seamlessly via IBM-supplied gateways with AIM, GoogleTalk and XCP.

We unreservedly and heartily recommend IBM Lotus Sametime for IM in a corporate setting. It is feature-rich, intuitive to use, highly scalable and platform neutral.”

Strangely – Microsoft opted not to participate in the review.
