IT-Administrator Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/6/2022 "Fast and reliable Plattform" 5/5 What do you like best about HCL Domino? I like the simplicity of a Domino Server to get it running. Once a Domino Server is up and running, it will not take a lot of work to keep it maintained. Of course, a Domino Server has a lot of settings that can be modified to fit any business requirement. Since HCL has taken over, many new features and bugs have been fixed. Major releases are coming out yearly, which shows Domino is not dead. Domino makes it easy to manage several hundred users without the need of having to run a vast server platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about HCL Domino? The software has flaws and will take a while to get ironed out. Once HCL has taken over the errors and new features have been implemented, the software is getting a better reputation. Domino has a semi-bad reputation because nothing has been changed or added for years. Of course, HCL has taken over, but a lot of companies, at least german companies, are moving away from Domino, considering it an old and dead software... Other software out there looks more modern, has more features, and has a better reputation than Domino. It seems to me that there is not enough marketing to make Domino more popular again and maybe convince companies to stay with Domino instead of moving away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is HCL Domino solving and how is that benefiting you? So since we have over roughly 500 users currently logged into the Domino Server, it is easy to manage all the applications we develop in-house. We can program our databases and have the workforce support all of them by ourselves. If a database needs new features, we can program these features ourselves and don't have to rely on the standardized shelf software. This makes it very easy for us to develop new required software rather than buy it, hoping and depending on the software to meet our needs. We have a fairly significant development and administration team, making managing all of Domino's needs reasonably easy. Domino is very cost-effective programming and Mail Service Plattform. Not many providers out there make it easy for us to manage and run all of our services and servers on Prem; most require the servers to be ordered in the cloud.
