We would recommend Notes to anyone who wants an extremely flexible product with rapid development features. This capability is a critical feature that makes a product like this feasible for smaller companies to create custom solutions. A fully-functional application can be developed in a day. Overall, I would rate HCL Notes / Domino an eight out of ten.
I rate HCL Notes nine out of 10. It has some issues, but HCL has done a lot of work to enhance it since they acquired the product in 2018. The weaknesses are disappearing with each new release. They continue to fix things and add new features with every release. I recommend it. I've been forced to use some internet-based applications that were absolutely terrible. If only they had used something like Notes, it would be much more user-friendly and offer better value for money. Some people are fanatical and they give Notes a rating of 10 out 10. Some people say it's terrible and rate it two or three, but I'd give it a solid eight or nine in most cases. There are still a few issues that need to be worked out, but HCL has been working hard to resolve some of the long-standing problems with Notes. Most of the older issues with Notes that people complain about have been fixed in the latest releases. My advice to prospective users is to get help from an HCL business partner.

I would never think of moving to another solution because my clients are very satisfied. If you put the right person or the right structure and follow and update this product correctly, it is hard for a client to think about moving to another solution. My advice would be that you have to consider whether you have a mailing program. The company that starts to implement your IT infrastructure would certainly need a program for mailing. HCL Notes is a very good mailing product. It is also very good if you manage and share a lot of documents inside your company, and it works very well for workflows or decisional processes. I would rate it a nine out of ten.

The biggest lesson I have learned from using HCL Notes patience, I must say. Other than that it becomes a much tougher question. I learned that there is not much to gain from this product, but that sometimes you can manage with inferior tools if you have to. That would be the tagline of HCL Notes if I had the opportunity to add one: "You just have to manage." On a scale of one to ten (where one is the worst and ten is the best), I would rate this product as a four-point-five out of ten. I will not be so harsh to give it the three or four that I think it deserves even though I would like to. It has worked at least somewhat to manage to be a centralized solution. I will give it a five.
