HCL Connections Features

I like IBM because: Is a leading company in the social enterprise software market. It puts at the disposal of businessmen tools for cognitive analysis with business social networks allowing to improve decision making for the growth of companies. Thanks to the IBM tools you can perform data analysis that results in our ways of presenting and displaying the results. IBM provides a security...

The least I like about IBM; I believe that the image of the interfaces can be improved considering a grass of light colors. You can add models of results analysis reports, and management indicators by project type. It's a program that I personally like a lot, and therefore, there are few negative observations.

I loved the tagging feature by which one can easily add tags to any documents which makes it absolutely easy to locate the document in the future. Also, I liked that we can share with small groups (subsets for specific projects) so that everyone is in the loop.

It's a bit confusing for the first time users. Requires lots of training to get everyone onboard.

One of the features that stand out about this software is that it is not very eye-catching and yet it contains all the functions and tools to enhance and boost teamwork. At the platform level generates a communication space like a social network but business, with different channels of communication, messaging, creating communities to work on your projects or departments, are features that can be customized without problem according to your needs. In addition, you will have additional integration options from IBM.

The import and export of data tends to be a bit clumsy, it must be more fluid so that the information is available at the required time without setbacks.

It is a kind of corporate social network, which I like because it creates a pleasant and relaxed working environment, however it is also a platform with very powerful tools for collaboration and communication, you can interact in forums, blogs, instant messaging, calendar, is very reliable in all these aspects to build planning strategies.

Being a social-business tool, managers must be careful that it does not become a leisure space, the administration must be based on the principles and values of the company. Since it can be a useful tool with great impact

Connections is an unique collaborative platform that permit corporate environment to work and collaborate easly. Features like communities blogs and wikis are perfect to be self used managed and created by users. Now it was sold to HCL so i'm sure the development will go faster than ever. The future is bright !!

If i've to find a cons the architecture is not easy to be installed, mantained and user from the Admin side. you have to be skilled to work correctly.

I like that Connections is a complete resource center for peer to peer sharing and collaboration. Whether you are working on a research work or a project ideas keep floating around freely as long as you are subscribed to the relevant CoP

Its a bit of a chunky product which first time users might find intimidating. The pricing I suppose limits the number of business units who can opt for against competition

What I like the most is the security of the information that is based on the high standards of the data, besides that it can be shared and reach the other members of the organization in an ongoing way, improving the agility of the process based on a reliable service. environment and adjustable to the requirements of employees, partners and entrepreneurs.

One of the negative aspects is that it would be necessary to implement management indicators to improve efficiency and performance within the organization, improving aspects related to productivity.

Easy to use, a lot of functionality you cannot miss in a modern environment , solid architecture .

No cons were added to this review

Build your work environment with this platform, with the different functions and tools it gives you to communicate better with your colleagues and collaborate on common tasks and activities in the company, thus optimizing the exchange of information through blogs, chats, forums, libraries, among others. It is quite complete and perfectly functional for everyone in the company

It's a bit cumbersome to install and configure, but after that it was easy to use.

It is a collaborative tool to configure mail services, agendas and document exchange to be edited as a team. It works perfectly as a space where digital information is shared with the work team and at the same time verify who updates the documents and who does not. It has complements and integrations that are adapted according to the type of assignment or task, and the type of person according to their performance.

I currently work with this program and there has been something that I do not like, in fact, the things that I do not understand I look for them in the main page of IBM or the online support contact. Until now I do not have something that I do not like.

IBM Connections is a nice and secure way for sharing folders and ensuring that people have the latest versions of different documents. I like that you can share with smaller groups, so for projects with subsets of a team, this is a good way to ensure that everyone is in the loop.

Connections is not great for collaborating in real time, as you need to download the document and then re-upload it with the changes that you have made. It is also not an ideal solution for large Excel sheets if you just want to quickly reference them since the often don't load.

I can view all my documents with the help of its online viewer that allows to view all of them without any need to download them separately. It provides great settings with a reliable result.

Since I have been using this tool I have no least things. It is providing amazing services. I also appreciate its customer support that gives profession services.

It is a communication and collaboration software very complete, create your network of contacts to facilitate communication, schedule meetings, share documents and information, contains functions that let you plan and organize work in a calendar, there is no waste with this platform

It's hard to learn how to use it, and if you do not have a powerful computer, the computer may slow down

Sharing files experience for a group of people. It makes easy to manage team resources and you can control who can view the documents, schedules or any document you would like to share within your company.

So far have not found anything to dislike.

Customizable and loaded with features. Great source of archival and structured information storage.

Too many confusing methodologies to communicate. Needs lots of training to onboard everyone. Can be more intuitively productized.

It is very useful for my team at work as we are able to upload share and edit files. Management of interaction is made easy and you can track updates. finding files is quick and easy, I can say overall, the software is quite user friendly.

The tools on this software are very useful for my job so I don't have much to complain about except that it should give email notices- it would be even more convenient.
