Easy to use with helpful email backup and search capabilities, but it needs to support SIEM integration

We use this product to keep a copy of all of the users' emails, be them inbound or outbound. The main objective is from a compliance perspective, where we can provide access to our auditors. It also allows for e-discovery, where we can search for emails, and it also acts as a backup solution. If…

Useful for collaboration and storage but improvement is needed in API integration

The solution has traditional SSL integration, SAML, and Federation Services. In its latest version, it added SAML integration. However, it needs to work on API integration, especially for dashboards or integration with SAP for log and data system management. It doesn't yet have the kind of API that Google and Microsoft provide for synchronizing users with Active Directory. I think IceWarp needs to improve in a few areas. They have two types of admin consoles - a web-based one and a remote one. I'd like to see these combined into a single web-based admin console. The log reading and information system also needs improvement. The current way of showing incoming and outgoing logs isn't very clear. For new users, it's hard to understand these logs, especially compared to Office 365 and other systems with easier-to-read logs. They should also add an export option to get all logs with a single click whenever we need them.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It's easy to use."

"The solution is easy to manage and includes features such as smart documents and the archiving of user data."

"IceWarp has multiple applications that are easy to use for many people."

"The most valuable feature of IceWarp is the chat rooms and file-sharing, they are useful. It is convenient that everything is in one place. You can easily share and collaborate documents, making the program's unity a significant advantage."

"The solution's voice services work well for our company."

"An effective, functional, very good tool for controlling resources."

"Its price is the most valuable. It is definitely one of the lowest price solutions."

"The solution has a very good log-in to the UI when compared to other solutions."

"The TeamChat feature has been really good for our email management. It lets us collaborate, share files, and invite guests like Google Spaces or Microsoft Teams. I like the two-factor authentication for security. However, they need to improve their document collaboration tools, as their Word, Excel, and PowerPoint features are basic compared to Microsoft and Google."

More IceWarp pros

Cons

"It's a little bit more expensive than the others."

"The user mailbox management is poor."

"The solution should improve the mailing list feature. Google has a similar feature where you can automate sending files to different people in a sequence, but that feature is no longer available in the current version of IceWarp. Other features may also have been removed in the current version."

"Support should be improved. Most of the time, the queries are not resolved within the SLA."

"Our customers sometimes have problems receiving mail."

"I would like to have a trial for mobile applications and more documentation similar to Google Drive with mobile applications."

"With multiple databases for VOIP, chat and web IMAP, maintenance is cumbersome."

"The solution has traditional SSL integration, SAML, and Federation Services. In its latest version, it added SAML integration. However, it needs to work on API integration, especially for dashboards or integration with SAP for log and data system management. It doesn't yet have the kind of API that Google and Microsoft provide for synchronizing users with Active Directory."

"The solution needs improvements in security, particularly regarding document management."

"Although it is not a tool, video conferencing should be scalable and operate in a professional and efficient way."

"We are satisfied with the pricing and the service is bundled so there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"The solution is priced well."

"Our licensing is on a yearly basis. There were no additional costs."
