Users may not all be used to HCL Domino, but as an admin it is made very easy to administer the whole system and help users (e.g. if they are more familiar with Outlook).

    Construction

A great workhorse that has stood the test of time

  • April 09, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Domino / Notes has been a stable of our companies systems for years. Its bredth of capability is unmatched within a single platform. We have found that doing things in the Domino platform much easier then other platforms.

The simplicity of building quality applications in little time has made this a great platform. The new Nomad interface has made the system much easier to use and configure for our users.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unfortunately for the platform, its previous owner sat on the technology for two long with its current stack. HCL has made great improvements since taking over but the 'low-code' market is now very competitive.

It is a real shame as its previous inability to use modern technologies make it poor to integrate with and kept it isolated from our other enterprise applications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Domino manages some bespoke user requirements that are not met in COTS products.


    Computer & Network Security

A secure email, collaboration and low-code development platform for critical sector entities

  • April 09, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Inbuilt layered security that is fully integrated with the Domino Directory, along with many security enhancements added to version 14.

Installation of HCL Domino, after intial planning, is simple and fast. Migrating an existing HCL Domino deployment from one cloud provider to another is also a breeze. It only requires one to create a zip file of the Domino Data directory in the old VPS, copy and unzip it in the new VPS.

HCL Domino Leap low-code development can be used to develop enterprise-grade applications that incorporate the security of Domino platform.

Ease of integration and good customer support are other positives.
What do you dislike about the product?
An ecosystem for HCL Domino Leap low-code developers is required for leveraging the Domino Leap platform in non-IT organisations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Secure email with inbuilt (not third-party) digital signatures and encryption mechanism, accessible through the web (Domino Verse).
2. Team collaboration and documents sharing using the inbuilt teamroom.nsf application, accessible through the web using the inbuilt web server.
3. Developing and deploying Domino Leap low-code applications for rapidly automating some of the technical and administrative functions, accessible through the web.
4. Easily managing SSL/TLS certificates using the inbuilt CertMgr.nsf application.
5. Exploring other capabilities like TOTP & passkey authentication (in version 14), Active Directory integration, user security through client certificates etc.

Domino is Rock-Solid Stable!

  • April 09, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Domino is the most solid platform that we've ever used. It has built-in security features that enable us to maintain our ISO27001 compliance with ease. Domino pretty much does everything for our enterprise.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not many people are familiar with Domino - mostly because IBM allowed it to languish for a decade. HCL has reinvigorated things, so we're looking forward to seeing what's next.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Domino is the server-side platform that enables us to run all of our enterprise ERP systems in Notes.

Very flexible Application Server with somewhat outdated Design and Features

  • April 09, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility, Programmability in various languages. Thereby possibility to integrate with almost every othe application server.
Extremely good downward compatibility. We still run applications that have been developed back in 1998 without any problems. Installation and backup is very easy. Administration is simple and transparent.
Domino replication is still unmatched as is security configuration for Domino applications.
Since we are power users of Domino we make extensive use of the seamless integration of mail and document management.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have some serious issues with TLS encryption.
The Notes client has become increasingly crash-prone in the last year or so. We believe that quality assurance has been somewhat neglected, since in the past the client was very stable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We run our whole business on Domino, that includes document management, controlling tasks, contract management, HR, compliance, project management.
