It requires developers to do almost anything. the system is painfully dated looking and doesn't easily integrate well. Without the required developer coding skills it's expensive to maintain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that HCL Domino runs reliably, securely, and air-gapped, while being very cost-effective. The setup was very easy, especially thanks to the wide support of operating systems. Additionally, I appreciate that it can be operated independently, including the possibility of BSI IT-Grundschutz certification of the operation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Domino still supports applications from 1998 - and unfortunately, it looks like it too. This affects user adoption. A design refresh is possible, but it is not enforced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

HCL Domino offers rock-solid reliability and security for managing enterprise-grade email, workflows, and custom business applications. I especially appreciate its backward compatibility and the ability to modernize existing Notes apps without rebuilding from scratch. The platform’s low-code capabilities with Domino Volt also make it easier to develop and deploy internal tools quickly, even for non-developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface feels outdated compared to modern platforms, and customization often requires legacy skills that are harder to find today. The learning curve can be steep for new users, and the ecosystem lacks the vibrant community and third-party integrations you get with tools like Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. Additionally, licensing and deployment can be complex for smaller teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Domino is established software with security out of the box. Replicated databases are designed for offline work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not so much integrated with modern SaaS platforms or AI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Domino is the platform for most business needs and if you need an app for a business problem you can easily create one. You can create the server in your preferred cloud hosting provider or on your own server hardware locally Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Speed could be faster for complex operations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There still is nothing like Domino. Imagine a single platform that does unlimited on-prem or cloud corporate email, has rapid-develop applications that you can custom build and hosted on the same server, incorporates all of the latest technologies. In a world that only uses binary terminology, Microsoft and Google, Domino is a platform that ticks all the same boxes from Microsoft and Google, but without being the phishing and hacking target that they have become.

HCL has done a much better job in developing new technology, but could be a little more innovative. While all enterprise features are here that you could want, some minor calendaring (iCal) and mail features are slightly limited, but not enough to impact productivity. A few features would be nice to compete with Outlook. (Multiple accounts per user in client, (not just delegated) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Domino / Notes has been a stable of our companies systems for years. Its breadth of capability is unmatched within a single platform. We have found that doing things in the Domino platform much easier than 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unfortunately for the platform, its previous owner sat on the technology for too 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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). Updates are easy to install and are usually free of major bugs. This is my experience after almost 20 years with Domino. Customer support is always helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes there are problems with compatibility with other systems. Users complain about the user interface and sometimes about options that are too hidden. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very easy to use HCL Domino for new users or newcomers in development. Implementation of things is easy. Customer support helps in cases where we are unable to find a solution. There are many more features we can use for the development of workflow and process it. Integration is easy for common and reusable components. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

HCL Domino can improve the quality of search and make it faster throughout. Some of the security features can be upgraded. The cost is high, so only big players can use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Flexibility, Programmability in various languages. Thereby possibility to integrate with almost every other 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
