HCL Domino vs Zimbra Collaboration comparison

"I like that HCL Domino is stable. It's a great product. I also like that HCL Domino is a mature product under IBM, which is why many companies use it."

"The DAOS feature is the most valuable. It helps to save some of my storage."

"For workflow applications or general applications, the rapid development capability is what we value most."

"HCL Domino is an application development and collaboration platform with strong stability and security. Deployment of this platform is easy and takes only 10 minutes."

"The most valuable features of the solution are security and integration."

"The fact is that it simply works."

"It is an excellent solution."

"The pricing is excellent."

"The stability is good and keeps getting better with each new update."

"The product is easy to set up."

"The most valuable feature of Zimbra Collaboration is email functionality."

"Zimbra Collaboration has a good web interface."

"Good email solution and it's open-source."

"The most valuable feature of Zimbra Collaboration is the cost."

"Zimbra Collaboration has integrated a lot of their party tools and they have good documentation available."

"Zimbra Collaboration is a good tool for video calls...Zimbra Collaboration's initial setup phase was easy."

"Scalability needs to be improved to be on the level that's required. Support could also be enhanced."

"Designing a new template could provide a refreshed visual experience for users without significant changes to the underlying functionality."

"The solution could improve Kubernetes or Dockers migration to new environments in the cloud."

"When you compare with Microsoft Exchange, the UI could be more user-friendly."

"They should provide its integration with other AI applications."

"Recently, IBM sold the product to HCL. Since Pakistan and India have some problems on a domestic level, we were actually considering replacing it with Indian products from the organization. We're just facing some regulatory issues."

"Its performance and integration could be better. It has capabilities for large deployment with several servers, but in the latest interface, running with different servers isn't supported."

"It would be advantageous if the web server could seamlessly pick up configuration changes without the need for a complete restart."

"Zimbra Collaboration could improve the migration from a basic solution to a more containerized solution. For example, the installation should be able to extend to the containers and manage them with some solution, such as OpenShift or Kubernetes."

"The solution could use more integration with third-party tools."

"The antispam and antivirus features are hard to understand on mobile devices."

"I can confidently say that Zimbra is good enough for 2,000 client users. But, at the same time, if my client needs more than that and we have two options—Zimbra or Microsoft—I'm going with Microsoft because many admins will speak to Microsoft's ability to handle that many."

"The installation is not straightforward, it can take two days for the full implementation."

"The product must be more customizable."

"Zimbra must improve its solution to make it easy so that the users don't have to use webmail to connect to their accounts and log in to webmail every time. This is something that is lacking in Zimbra Collaboration. They should provide a better way to easily connect email applications on the desktop to the Zimbra server. They should also try to have more functionality for storage management, like Microsoft Exchange. Currently, the management of the email data must be done manually in Zimbra Collaboration, which we are finding very difficult. They should provide a way to save emails so that you can have more space on the server and storage. Because of the lack of this functionality, we are planning to migrate to Microsoft Exchange. Microsoft Exchange provides a better way to manage storage than Zimbra Collaboration. You cannot have a mail solution without storage management because emails will always increase. Zimbra Collaboration also needs tools for management. More back-office tools are required to manage the whole mailbox and space. You don't only manage emails but also the documents attached to the emails. Therefore, you require tools to select and decide what do you want to save or how do you want to free up space in your infrastructure."

"I would like to see a Microsoft schedule function added."

"The license for Domino is yearly. The price is high."

"Customers have to pay for a license for the Notes Client, not for the Domino database. There is a quarter license that we use."

"It is less expensive compared to other vendors."

"The pricing is individually determined. For us, in our current deployment, we pay $12.50 Canadian per month per user."

"We chose to pay for our licensing fees annually."

"Price is reasonable compared to the other solutions."

"For 30 licenses, we pay $1,500 every year. It is not an expensive product."

"HCL Domino is costly, but it still depends on how your organization views it price-wise."

"We are using perpetual licenses. We have deployed it in our local data center, and we buy perpetual licenses on a per-user basis."

"When it comes to the licensing of Zimbra Collaboration, my license covers the servers and I find its terms to be much simpler than those of Microsoft Exchange."

"We pay yearly licenses for Zimbra Collaboration."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the price a four"

"The solution is competitively priced."

"We do not pay for licenses to use this solution."

"Zimbra Collaboration offers a good price-to-feature ratio."

"Zimbra Collaboration is less expensive than Microsoft Exchange. Zimbra works for small companies because it is not expensive. Zimbra Collaboration has more security tools than Microsoft Exchange. If you are choosing between Zimbra Collaboration and Microsoft Exchange, you have to take into account the cost of security tools with Microsoft Exchange. When you purchase Microsoft Exchange, you will also have to purchase tools for security, which adds to the cost. The migration from Zimbra Collaboration to another email solution is very simple and easy. Migration from Microsoft Exchange to another email solution is very difficult. Microsoft doesn't allow migration that easily. In fact, you have to pay for tools to do that. You have to buy some expensive tools to migrate."
