Organizations can successfully use Seascape to archive hundreds of Notes applications, transforming them into browser-based or SharePoint-accessible archives, thereby eliminating the need to maintain the original Domino infrastructure.

Seascape for Notes is a comprehensive data extraction, migration, and archiving tool designed specifically for legacy Lotus Notes (now HCL Notes and Domino) environments. It enables organizations to preserve historical data in open-standard formats such as PDF, HTML, XML, and JSON, while maintaining full fidelity of views, documents, layouts, links, and metadata.

This allows companies to retire legacy systems without losing access to critical data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Adding email notification for large extracts would help developers not constantly check for a successful extract. Even notification at multiple stages would be good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the search capabilities with the Seascape Flex we use for our file migration from Lotus Notes. Great product! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Have not experienced any downsides with the product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Have now moved away from HCL Notes completely to a low code platform. Systems were run in parallel for some time but some gaps remained. Seascape was used to extract key data as a safeguard prior to decommission of HCL Notes. Once installed the tool was very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

cant say I found anything to dislike- it worked well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My company had a large number of databases that had to be migrated from Lotus Notes to both SharePoint document repositories and to traditional websites. The Swing software handled both cases as advertised. The import/export process quides you thru the entire process.

I think that a critical success factor for our migration was both Swing's customer and technical support. I reached out to both a couple of times and without fail Swing personnel responded within a business day.

My company did a "deep dive" product comparison analysis and Swing rated higher than the 2 other competitor products, even though one of them was much faster than Swing's product. The tradeoff was that Swing's translations were many times more accurate than the competitors. We are a health insurance company, so accuracy of information is always very critical.

if any potential customer would like to talk to me about our migration efforts, i would be more than willing to talk to them about our technical migration process. in all honesty, other than the "processing run rate," Swing is hands-down the best product out there for migrating Lotus Notes databases into SharePoint document libraries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm sure a lot of processing is going on behind the scenes, but to be very honest, the entire import/export process seems to be exceedingly slow. we analyzed our "processing run rates" at it seem that the Swing software averaged about 900 to 1300 documents per hour. When you're having to export dozens and dozens of Lotus Notes databases, with literally many hundreds of thousands of documents, it's takes a long time (many man and compute months). When we were deep into our migration we had myself (with 3 VDI machines) and 2 additional contractors (each with either 3 or 4 VDI machines) running non-stop for days at a time.

Having said that, any potential customer should also review what i liked about the Swing competitor, in comparison to competing products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We had to migrate almost half a million records from Lotus Notes for one of the biggest councils in Europe, and Seascape performed the task easily.

The product was quick to install and setup, with an intuitive interface to setup your connections to DB's and Sharepoint sites, as well as what filters/conditions you want to apply.

The customer support was brilliant and came back with responses quickly as well as the helpful online documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There was nothing to dislike about this product or the service from the team, I just wish we had purchased it sooner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it's easy to use and and easy to implement in environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I couldn't find any disadvantages when I used Seascape for Notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price was the main reason for the first tests with Seascape, because it was unbeatable! It's pretty easy to get started and the Seascape staff are incredibly quick and helpful. Together with these employees, I was able to solve all problems (including self-inflicted ones) very quickly. All in all, Seascape made my work so much easier that we were able to successfully migrate our old Notes databases to Sharepoint quite quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I only found out about two functions at the end (metadata is deactivated by default and set note to HTML to avoid unsightly text formatting), which I could have been made aware of at the beginning. These functions would have made the work even easier. But if I had reported the problems at the beginning, I would have been helped immediately, as I am now. I just didn't think that the program could also fix these small problems.
