The best feature of the platform is its openness and flexibility. Support for multiple programming languages and many settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

very outdated user interface, lack of full outlook support for macos. Missing Russian templates in Domino 10 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My firm uses this for interoffice emails and for keeping digital files of all cases and documents, and it seems to work well for most. We don’t have to deal with physical files unless we prefer them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface can be a bit clunky, as the title states, and unintuitive to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So for sending emails, and chating with my colleagues IBM notes has been a very good tool , very reliable.

You can manage all of that easily with IBM Notes, we use it in the firm and it is a great tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the user interface is kind of old , it looks like from the 90's, and sometimes it's not very responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no such feature in IBM notes, but I am now switching to MS Office Outlook because it has more advanced options and is more reliable to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IBM notes are inconvenient to use, mobile phones are not easy to use, and not as instinct as MS Office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Domino Server supports a variety of programming languages. It has an integrated email engine, data storage, and web development, all in one box. Other solutions require you to install multiple servers or at least multiple software applications, sometimes quite disparate and you have to try and get these connected. You would then have to have them restart automatically in the case of a server restart. May or may not have to have them start in a particular sequence. Domino provides a one-stop solution that has everything self-contained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of business templates. Certainly, a CRM (may even be basic) would be a highly welcomed solution for all organisations. It could easily integrate with the mail file.

Integrated code management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Solid email system stability. Server configuration/setup is straightforward. Excellent security model. Definitely worth a look for those organizations hesitant to move to cloud due to clustering and advanced replication, and high availability features. Ease of administration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A weaning set of 3rd party tools for specialized needs/requirements. The disparity/configuration involved with using Connections and Sametime on a separate platform (DB2/Websphere). Quickplace and a Teamroom integration would have been far easier for smaller companies, along with leaving Sametime in Domino. Heavy client install and separate Java security patching. Reporting is limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Every organization requires a setup to create and organize the databases from the complex operational procedures. Lotus plays a vital role in doing the documentation of an organization. It is also helpful for the administrators as it allows them to restrict the unwanted access of employees.In some organizations it is used as a training program for database training and enables to define any problem in the systems.

The software is not advanced as it needs to provide the updated version which will allow the users to work efficiently and effectively. Also, it is a slow software and is considered as relatively outdated. Moreover, the users finds difficulty to use the software as it does not provide friendly functionality. And the irregular users do not find it easy to use as it is not easy for them to relearn the functions, however, the users who use it very often are very comfortable in using it.

IBM Lotus Notes has been used for years for the office work. It not only provides feature of emailing but multiple other features like inbuilt messenger. Overall it is an efficient and effective email tool to use if you get to know how it works. It has many useful features like auto-emailing which allows any application other than IBM to send emails through the Lotus Notes. It also allows to organize and keep track of the databases. Thus, any type of customization can be done easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IBm does not allow large attachments to send through emails and this limits the communication to some extent. Moreover, it does not provide with the updates and advanced functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IBM Notes has been designed with security in mind from the very beginning. Its security model was based from the start on private/public key pair cryptography, and the hierarchical naming system coupled with a role-based authorization model was 10 years ahead of any other competitor, and it was the reason why it allowed simple and fast development of intranet applications with full control of user rights.

It is since 2001 with the announcement of Microsoft Sharepoint Portal Server that we all Notes enthusiasts have had to endure mokery smiles from the new kids on the block... To see that after all these years IBM Notes is still alive and kicking is great, great news, and to imagine those kids 18 years later with their white hair still repeat their usless mantra is also great.

This IBM-Microsoft rivalry is integral part of the history, something like Philadelphia Eagles vs NY Giants, and I really like that today it is our turn to rejoice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a product different from any other, so users sometimes does not find that common "look and feel" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is quite simple and user friendly. Anyone in the office can use it just as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice if I got a reminder pop-up for my meetings like I did when I used Outlook. It kept me on track better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
