More HCL Domino Cons →

"The support could improve their response time and sometimes the phone lines are not clear because of static or noise. However, the agents are knowledgeable and very helpful.""The solution should have more integration with other platforms.""Exchange Online's scalability could be improved.""Technical support can be improved by shortening the response time and increasing their knowledge.""The licensing price of the solution could be lower.""Cloud security is always a concern and the solution can always increase their security.""The stability of the solution has room for improvement.""The support from the vendor is fine. However, it could be faster, and some of the agents could be more knowledgeable, but it is a large solution, there's a lot of information that the agents have to work with. I can't always expect when I get connected to the first-level agent that they will know absolutely everything. Sometimes there's no replacement for pure experience."
