Overall Satisfaction with IBM Connections
We currently use IBM Connections as a backend platform. We have built a custom platform (member-facing) on top of IBM Connections. Our member-facing platform currently serving over 100,000 members. Our main use of IBM Connections is for the collaboration tools that it offers.
- Easy to set up communities
- Easy to customize communities and add/delete different widgets
- Easy to navigate
- We have had some difficulty in bridging IBM Connections with several other applications (security mainly)
- I would like to be able to customize and name the widgets to match up with our member-facing tool (ie. IBM Connections calls it a "blog," whereas our member-facing application calls this area "news."
- Ease of collaboration between members (100K+)
- Ease of setting of communities of practice very quickly
I have not personally evaluated other products, as I just manage day-to-day operations. I am not a developer, so I am unsure as to how IBM Connections compares to other products in the marketplace.
