Find out in this report how the two Rapid Application Development Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Domino's dual functionality as both a messaging and application solution is a standout feature compared to Exchange, which solely focuses on messaging."
"It is an excellent solution."
"HCL Domino is an application development and collaboration platform with strong stability and security. Deployment of this platform is easy and takes only 10 minutes."
"They offer good support and provide a roadmap."
"The most valuable feature of HCL Domino is how robust it is."
"It serves as a centralized solution that fulfills all my requirements from operating my email server to managing various aspects of my operations."
"The pricing is excellent."
"I find the HCL Domino server scalable."
"The user experience is great."
"What I like best about Mendix is that it's leading the way for low-code, no-code platforms compared to other solutions in the market."
"It's amazing that you can build web apps and mobile (hybrid) apps with one code base in a few clicks. It's a full continuous integration environment."
"Suite allows you to easily and smoothly integrate with pretty much anything. It is also cloud-enabled. It provides a full Cloud Foundry-driven cloud environment with one-click deployment."
"It is stable."
"The pricing is very clear, with no hidden fees."
"The most valuable features of Mendix are the drag and drop functions, the data entities, domain models, and all the related features."
"It is a brilliant solution."
"When you compare with Microsoft Exchange, the UI could be more user-friendly."
"The solution could improve Kubernetes or Dockers migration to new environments in the cloud."
"The solution is expensive."
"Its performance and integration could be better. It has capabilities for large deployment with several servers, but in the latest interface, running with different servers isn't supported."
"From the Domino side, it should support DKIM and DMARC."
"For me, the one thing missing is a really good reporting engine."
"HCL Domino needs to be more user-friendly."
"The client version of this solution could be faster and be made simpler for non-IT users. You will need to have some knowledge of Notes to correctly install this solution."
"The code refactoring tools could be better, especially for applications running for years. It's not bad, but it could be smoother. Also, writing new widgets can be trickier than it should be for some people, but not if you're familiar with Mendix."
"What is lacking is the support of higher level modeling features, like the modeling you do is relatively low level, yet it is still close to programming. We would like to see a more business-oriented modeling environment, like BPMN."
"You need experienced programmers and developers to understand this solution."
"One area for improvement is its integration capabilities. Creating a pluggable widget or integrating it with other systems is challenging. In terms of features, it would be great to see advancements such as AI services and the integration of third-party services. Additionally, connecting external devices to the application requires multiple steps. Improving this will make it easier for the developers."
"There's no direct tech support."
"There needs to be an increase in the number of the UI components."
"There should be more integration with engineering applications and tighter integration for user authentication, such as single sign-on, etc. They have some of that. It just could be stronger."
"I would also like to see automatic adjustment to the Java Heap, whenever an application load becomes too much for the application. It could also use hot database replication."
