There are small areas of improvement. HCL has taken over from IBM, and is making rapid improvements. IBM sat on it for almost 20 years and did nothing, whereas HCL is making a big effort, and we are impressed. The Notes / Domino suite includes several client applications: Notes client, iNotes, HCL Verse and now HCL Nomad. With Nomad applications designed for a Windows or Mac desktop will run with only minor modifications on Android or iOS devices. Nomad Web runs in a browser. Some things still don't work 100 percent on Nomad, but HCL maintains an ideas portal and new requests are reviewed and incorporated regularly. On thing we would like is that some views should be visible to a particular user on Windows/Mac but not in the Nomad app. It's currently possible to restrict the view, but it's by user, not by user combined with device. One major failing: We wish it had a reporting engine, which it doesn't.

I expect more integration capabilities from the platform in the future. HCL Domino has made a lot of changes in its pricing and market models. The product's user interface is one of its shortcomings since it is outdated, making it an area for improvement. The functionalities offered by the product make up for the outdated UI that it has.
Enhancements could be made to improve user-friendliness in certain aspects. While certain tasks are achievable, they may not be straightforward and demand a technical background for effective implementation. From an administrative standpoint, one technical improvement that would be beneficial involves the web server and profile documents. Currently, refreshing or reloading values necessitates a server restart. It would be advantageous if the web server could seamlessly pick up configuration changes without the need for a complete restart. Another are for enhancement, the Certificate Manager component of HCL Domino comes to mind. Specifically, the section that facilitates the use of agents to request certificates is yet to be fully implemented by HCL.
They should provide the solution's integration with other AI applications. Also, its risk management feature needs improvement. In addition, its technical support could be better.
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 need to provide better compatibility with third-party tools.
We'd like to see the speed of the Domino server improve. My customers keep on complaining about the speed of connectivity, irrespective of the bandwidth we use. Sometimes it is very slow. The solution is expensive. The ease of using the HDP server could be better. Currently, we can run an HDP server and install Domino. However, I would like an easy interface to integrate any HDP server with Domino. The client is pretty heavy. It should be made a bit lighter.

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. What I want in the product's next release is for it to have a user-friendly environment. HCL Domino should also integrate well with other software, for example, Outlook. If I want to use the product with Outlook, I should be able to access and get all the emails from Outlook. HCL Domino should have compatibility with Outlook as Outlook is easy to understand and is used by many people and companies.

The client version of this solution could be faster and be made simpler for non-IT users. You will need to have some knowledge of Notes to correctly install this solution.
The biggest problem for us is the performance. We have been working with this product for a long time and our database now contains approximately two million documents. It takes a very long time. We purchased super-fast storage with special disks and nothing helps the performance. We have problems developing special cases.

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.
From the Domino side, it should support DKIM and DMARC. This is useful if you are using e-mail and other third-party e-mail gateways. I'd also like to see better integration with third-party collaboration platforms like Microsoft teams. Otherwise, Domino is watertight — it has a lot of great features.

The UI was an area that needed some improvement, and that has been improved with the newest version, but we haven't migrated to it yet. When you compare with Microsoft Exchange, the UI could be more user-friendly.

HCL Domino needs to be more user-friendly, as end users prefer Outlook over it, because they find Outlook easier to use.
HCL Domino could improve by having integration with other solutions, such as Microsoft 365.
