Vetted Review
Overall Satisfaction with IBM Notes
It's main function is two-fold. The first is obviously email, calendar, contacts, enterprise-grade shared storage and social networking available in Notes 9. The second function is we have around 20+ internally developed Lotus Notes databases which we use to store all infrastructure inventory, workflows, work queue for builds, audits etc. We also have the Lotus Notes DB's integrated with our ERP and Remedy ticketing system along with other systems which automatically pull data from the various Lotus Notes DBs. It is used pretty heavily on a daily basis.
- It has a really strong and robust database that's extremely scalable and holds up well to thousands of users and many different environments.
- It has a really good enterprise-grade framework for development custom database applications
- All of the custom database applications along with the email all have a nice uniform look and feel so their easy-to-use.
- I really like how it's developed and supported on every client OS (Windows, OSX, Linux)! The competitors definitely do NOT offer this (M$).
- I would say the GUI could use some improving to make it more appealing to less saavy and new users
- I don't really have any other cons
- Again I use it EVERY SINGLE DAY and HEAVILY rely on it!
- It's had an extremely POSITIVE impact on me and even a lot of my clients. I introduced it to some of them and they picked it up with minimal learning curve and really enjoy the convenience and really strong security of IBM NOTES.
- It's definitely a LOT more secure than the M$ competitor.
I've already answered this question in the previous questions however to sum it up IBM Notes stacks up VERY WELL! It has a LOT of really good business/enterprise features like enterprise-grade Dropbox-like storage, synced email/calendar/contacts, it supports a LOT of third-party add-ins, easy-to-use and friendly, very strong and robust, and most importantly it's a LOT more secure in my opinion than the competition.
