HCL Domino vs Zimbra Collaboration comparison

"They offer good support and provide a roadmap."

"Domino's dual functionality as both a messaging and application solution is a standout feature compared to Exchange, which solely focuses on messaging."

"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."

"It is an excellent solution."

"The email system is the most valuable feature."

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

"HCL Domino is the best product from a security point of view."

"It serves as a centralized solution that fulfills all my requirements from operating my email server to managing various aspects of my operations."

"The Zimbra Collaboration's most valuable feature is web access."

"Zimbra Collaboration has a good web interface."

"A lot of other products like Microsoft Exchange offer email or collaboration features, but they are not as fast as Zimbra."

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

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

"The web interface is powerful and easy to use."

"The backup and storage management features of Zimbra Collaboration are valuable."

"It has all collaboration features, such as document sharing, video conferencing, chatting, task sharing, and calendar sharing."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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 could have a better interface."

"For me, the one thing missing is a really good reporting engine."

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

"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."

"They should enhance its online meeting features."

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

"The new patches are, at times, not so good, so we don't install them, causing the tool to be not so stable overall."

"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 product must be more customizable."

"It does have a few bugs."

"While I don't have precise pricing information at hand, my understanding is that it tends to be on the higher end."

"We're happy with the price of our license — it's pretty standard."

"We pay annually for the use of this solution and it is only a standard fee."

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

"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."

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

"It is less expensive compared to other vendors."

"The solution is competitively priced."

"It's very expensive. When we compare the cost with Google Workspace, it's so expensive."

"I use Zimbra Collaboration's community version. We may move to the enterprise version since prices are affordable."

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

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

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

"The price of the solution is low."
