Is Sametime just bloated and too complicated?


Stumbled upon this 970 page long Slideshow "IBM Sametime 9 Complete - Basic Features Installation - From Zero To Hero" from IBM on the Sametime 9.0,


http://www.slideshare.net/FrankAltenburg/ibm-sametime-9-complete-basic-features-installation-from-zero-to-hero-for-domino-ldap-version-10

Really ?? 970 pages? .. and this is only basic features.

OK, if the product was a rocket going to the Moon, this might be a appropriate sized slideshow.

Sametime is living in the past and has just become way too bloated and complicated

Anyway most organizations will most likely be happier with a simpler and cheaper (free) solution.

A secure chat server like Openfire. It installs and configures in less than 10 min. can be used with LDAP (Domino). Has a Java API, a chat client, a web and mobile client.
Has web video conferencing (webRTC) via a plugin, connects to a Open Source PBX like Asteriks and more...

just sayin'....
