Pros
"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.""I like that HCL Domino is stable. It's a great product. I also like that HCL Domino is a mature product under IBM, which is why many companies use it.""The DAOS feature is the most valuable. It helps to save some of my storage.""This solution can be used for workflow application so that applications can be easily developed.""For workflow applications or general applications, the rapid development capability is what we value most.""We have been able to set up a portal using a special XPage application that gives our customers access to this system.""The most valuable feature of HCL Domino is how robust it is.""The full-text searching capabilities are great."

Cons
"Designing a new template could provide a refreshed visual experience for users without significant changes to the underlying functionality.""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.""HCL Domino could improve by having integration with other solutions, such as Microsoft 365.""It would be advantageous if the web server could seamlessly pick up configuration changes without the need for a complete restart.""Recently, IBM sold the product to HCL. Since Pakistan and India have some problems on a domestic level, we were actually considering replacing it with Indian products from the organization. We're just facing some regulatory issues.""The product's user interface is one of its shortcomings since it is outdated, making it an area for improvement.""An area for improvement in HCL Domino is security. New enhancements in the IT industry mean that security should be improved. The HCL Domino GUI also needs improvement.""From the Domino side, it should support DKIM and DMARC."

More HCL Domino Cons →

"With multiple databases for VOIP, chat and web IMAP, maintenance is cumbersome.""The exchange compatibility mode is rather limited. Their technical support can also be better. They only provide online support, and there should be some option for escalating.""Our customers sometimes have problems receiving mail.""It is difficult to disable user rights on the console so some users accidentally delete their documents or user details.""Although it is not a tool, video conferencing should be scalable and operate in a professional and efficient way.""The solution should improve the mailing list feature. Google has a similar feature where you can automate sending files to different people in a sequence, but that feature is no longer available in the current version of IceWarp. Other features may also have been removed in the current version.""The tool's configuration capabilities are not straightforward. Apart from that, if I want to archive emails into a vault so that they can be retrieved again later, the integration doesn't work, and IceWarp crashes.""Although the documentation is extensive and in depth, you must familiarize yourself with it before taking full advantage of the product."
