Software is very slow and restrictive. Lotus notes is not often updated, and seems very unfriendly toward users and is relatively antiquated. User functionality is strictly limited by how often the software is used - such that frequent users are much more fluid but for someone who uses it on a weekly or even monthly basis, the learning/re-learning curve is quite steep.

Our company utilizes the workspace function to create databases in which all employees can access essential files. This is an alternative to SharePoint and we've found it to be more organized. Also access control is a key factor in our choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The program itself always seems to run slowly. Whether it's loading mail or accessing a workspace/database, it frequently becomes stuck on the loading screen. May be Windows' fault, but regardless, i wouldn't call it perfectly compatible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
