HCL Notes is a group work environment presented in 1989 by Lotus Notes, which is currently developed by the world-famous IBM concern. The history of this tool is much more complicated, as it has been rebranded several times. In the early stages it was also known by the name Dominoes/Notes, which combined IMB Domino and Lotus Notes. Complex changes and transformations have contributed noticeably to the deterioration of functionality HCL Notes, which IBM put up for sale in 2018. In recent years, most companies in the SMB and Enterprise segments have decided to replace Lotus Notes much more practical low-code or no-code applications. In Poland, cooperation with HCL Domino is quite problematic due to the lack of support in our language. Finding reliable training materials due to constantly changing names lotus domino is not the easiest task. Once unrivaled Dominoes/Notes has survived to this day, but fortunately, there are no shortage of alternative solutions on the market HCL Notes.
What they stand out applications on the Qalcwise platform?
Qalcwise it no-code platform, thanks to which non-technical people they can create own tools and applications. Solutions tailored to business needs that do not require the integration of programmers are especially appreciated by smaller and medium-sized enterprises. You can build a simple no-code application yourself in just a few minutes without having to write down even a line of code. Developing your own classic application from scratch is an extremely expensive process, which is mainly due to the high rates in the IT industry. You also need to remember about the additional costs associated with developing and maintaining the tool. Creating your own no-code applications does not require any knowledge of programming or IT architecture.
Are no-code platforms useful for larger companies?
Contrary to appearances, the no-code platform will work great even in larger enterprises, which are able to significantly reduce the workload of their own programmers and developers. Qalcwise applications are a great way to automate repetitive tasks that occur at all levels and positions. Implementing external solutions or generic tools is quite problematic, especially in the case of more complex structures.
Why you shouldn't delay replacing solutions lotus domino?
It would seem that it has been developed for so long HCL Domino it's a pretty safe choice. Nothing could be further from the truth. Unfortunately, due to extremely diverse applications Lotus Notes it is, to put it mildly, a flawed system. This can be confirmed by dozens of known vulnerabilities and sensitivities that can be easily found in any CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) database. Even despite several name changes Lotus Notes it currently has over 150 known vulnerabilities. The list of potential problems includes numerous data leaks (e.g. passwords, usernames) and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. The most problematic is unauthorized remote code execution, which in other words means complete loss of control over the system and data. These are extremely serious vulnerabilities that cannot be afforded in the era of GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). Tools like Metasploit allow you to quickly check potential vulnerabilities of a given system for known exploits and vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, they are also very often used by criminals who deliberately look for easy victims. Given the constantly growing number of Ransomware attacks (extortion of ransom in exchange for data decryption), it is better not to wait too long before replacing Dominoes/Notes. Qalcwise business applications are a much safer solution that is devoid of the sensitivity and vulnerabilities typical of solutions HCL Domino.
