Cons
"When you compare with Microsoft Exchange, the UI could be more user-friendly.""An area for improvement in HCL Domino is security. New enhancements in the IT industry mean that security should be improved. The HCL Domino GUI also needs improvement.""HCL Domino needs to be more user-friendly.""The solution could improve Kubernetes or Dockers migration to new environments in the cloud.""The solution is expensive.""HCL Domino could improve by having integration with other solutions, such as Microsoft 365.""They should provide its integration with other AI applications.""The product's user interface is one of its shortcomings since it is outdated, making it an area for improvement."

More HCL Domino Cons →

"The product needs to embed AI for intelligent searches and analytics.""I would rate Exchange Online's stability eight out of ten - it has room for improvement.""The demo version we were provided had issues with emails bouncing or being delayed.""The solution’s pricing could be better.""The efficiency could improved.""The SaaS platform performance could be improved. At a previous company, we used this same solution on-premises. The data exchange was much faster compared to the SaaS platform and we sometimes experience lags.""Microsoft Exchange Online can improve message delivery. There are times we receive a message that the email failed to be delivered, and there is no reason given. We sometimes have emails that are flagged as spam that are not. We cannot do anything about it because it's not managed by us, it's managed by Microsoft.""The problem with Exchange is that the attributes aren't flexible enough. I'd like to see more interaction with Office 365 and tighter integration between on-prem Exchange and Exchange Online. There's still a disconnect between mailboxes and the cloud."
