HCL Connections Stability
Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
Sometimes, the portal hangs because I find that if I am on a web page, I have to log out, and then I have to log in to the portal again. Since I see that the portal hangs at times, I have to move from one side of the portal to the next, making me feel that some things are scattered in the product. I attended a meeting with IBM recently, and they are improving a few of the things, in my opinion. The concerns that I have related to the product are being improved since I think many other users have reported issues similar to the ones I faced.
It is stable and reliable.

We did encounter some stability issues. However, IBM works closely with its customers to manage that well.
View full review »It's stable.
View full review »It's quite stable and there is no downtime.
View full review »We've had a few issues, but overall the stability has been pretty good. Probably, my confidence level in the stability is around 75-80% at this point.
We've had some PMRs around some of the docs loading slowly, editing and formatting. We have open PMRs. We're trying to get those closed now.

View full review »Episodes of instability are not uncommon. For this reason, talking about on-premise installations, it is essential to have a good technical partner, if it is not possible to acquire internally the specific technical competence.

View full review »I think it's very stable.
View full review »It is not as stable as I would like it to be. But, mostly it is a lot more complicated than the Domino platform that we've been on for many years and because of that, with more moving parts, there are more things that can go wrong.
Overall, it is a pretty solid product. We don't have a whole lot of issues with it. Also, IBM has generally worked to try and get any of those issues resolved through their feature packs and fix packs.
We're on the latest release, so obviously at this stage, there are more problems than if you're a little bit farther behind.
View full review »Running in a self-hosted private cloud, there were no significant issues regarding stability.
Connections is now available as a service for those who need a turnkey implementation, i.e., IBM Connections Cloud.
View full review »It is a very stable solution, because we have done both on-premise as well as the cloud part of it, and traditionally, from the Connections standpoint, there have been no outages.
View full review »None
View full review »The forums struggled to keep up when multiple users posted information.
View full review »Scalability seems great from what I've been told and from what I've seen. I've never seen any outages, really, other than some planned maintenance on emails we get occasionally. Other than that, it seems great.
View full review »So far, it's very stable, depending on your implementation of it. We've been at it now for, probably, three years. The stability and the capability is getting better with every version.
View full review »I have not encountered any stability issues.
View full review »I had some problems on earlier releases; in 4.5, I’ve only noticed some browser incompatibilities.
View full review »The stability is quite high. We have had some crash issues in the past, but IBM Support did a tremendous job for us at the time to find the issues which caused the platform to crash.
View full review »Nope IBM Connections is running over WebSphere application server so it is usually up and running
View full review »I have not encountered any stability issues.
View full review »If IBM Connections is properly tuned with the environment and load in mind, it tends to be stable.
View full review »We've had some load time and performance issues with concurrent users. The page was just not coming up.
View full review »We did not encounter any issues with stability.
View full review »In some scenarios, slow performance can be a tough point to tackle. Regarding stability, there were no issues there. Everything runs on WebSphere, which is a pretty reliable platform.
View full review »It's very stable; there is no downtime as far as I've seen.
View full review »All versions are developed on WebSphere Application Server. When we have a well-done installation and configuration, I can confirm that it is very stable and scalable for large environments.
View full review »We did encounter stability issues a few times here and there.
View full review »We have not encountered any stability issues.
View full review »We have it on premise, so we control the stability. We have had issues with tuning and configuration. The best practice isn't always clear about how to configure it and make it work when it scales. We control the tin, but I'd say that probably there's a gap at the moment in best practice recommendations.
