Oracle recently announced the launching of its new collaboration product titled "Beehive". Its capabilities include email, calendar, workspaces, and other collaboration tools. It comes both as an on premise solution as well as on demand solution. It has been touted as competition for Microsoft's messaging and collaboration products, Exchange and Sharepoint. At $120 per user seat, it is not really a small to mid sized business product. For me, this is a better product than Microsoft's recently launched "online productivity  suite", because it offers intergrated messaging and collaboration, while with MS's OPS, Sharepoint Online, Exchange Online, Hosted Unified Communciations server and LiveMeeting come as separate products.

I was going through its product sheet, and thought i would do a comparison with HyperOffice, a web based collaboration suite targeted primarily for small to mid sized businesses.
