"The most valuable feature of Zimbra Collaboration is email functionality."

"The most valuable feature of Zimbra for our team's productivity is its efficiency in handling email communication."

"The most valuable feature is sending messages as well as text and documents. It's a big solution for us since internal communication is a must in our organization."

"They can maybe improve its graphical user interface. Google is not really known for having a PC interface. It is just a nice-to-have feature."

"Google Workspace does a pretty good job, so it doesn't have that much room for improvement, but what would make it even better is if its apps, for example, Gmail, could integrate with more apps, such as Evernote and specific cloud-based platforms."

"There are times the plugins or extensions in the solution do not work properly and I need to disable and enable the solution."

"It would be a lot nicer if the default Gmail came with features that we currently need add-ons for, such as tables, automatic BCC, resizing of the panel on the left-hand side, email highlighting, and configuring the display of time and date against each email."

"I would rate the stability a five out of ten."

"The product could improve the number of participants allowed in a meeting and the strength of the meetings."

"The synchronization is a bit of an issue."

"We've had difficulty using PowerPoint files in G Suite. PowerPoint has some functions that are not available in G Suite, so when you convert from PPTX to the Slides format, they don't work."

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

"It is difficult to disable user rights on the console so some users accidentally delete their documents or user details."

"The exchange compatibility mode is rather limited. Their technical support can also be better. They only provide online support, and there should be some option for escalating."

"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."

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

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

"Our customers sometimes have problems receiving mail."

"The solution’s forums don't have much information or documentation on administration tasks."

"There are some security issues."

"I can confidently say that Zimbra is good enough for 2,000 client users. But, at the same time, if my client needs more than that and we have two options—Zimbra or Microsoft—I'm going with Microsoft because many admins will speak to Microsoft's ability to handle that many."

"Zimbra must improve its solution to make it easy so that the users don't have to use webmail to connect to their accounts and log in to webmail every time. This is something that is lacking in Zimbra Collaboration. They should provide a better way to easily connect email applications on the desktop to the Zimbra server. They should also try to have more functionality for storage management, like Microsoft Exchange. Currently, the management of the email data must be done manually in Zimbra Collaboration, which we are finding very difficult. They should provide a way to save emails so that you can have more space on the server and storage. Because of the lack of this functionality, we are planning to migrate to Microsoft Exchange. Microsoft Exchange provides a better way to manage storage than Zimbra Collaboration. You cannot have a mail solution without storage management because emails will always increase. Zimbra Collaboration also needs tools for management. More back-office tools are required to manage the whole mailbox and space. You don't only manage emails but also the documents attached to the emails. Therefore, you require tools to select and decide what do you want to save or how do you want to free up space in your infrastructure."

"Zimbra Collaboration's video conferencing could be improved."

"The price per client within the business is too high."

"Approximately $6 per user, per month."

"It's low in cost as compared to Office 365. There is an annual licensing cost."

"It's about $8.30 up a user per month."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"You pay for Google Workspace based on your usage and the apps you use, but in my case, it's free, but if I used it a lot more, I'd probably need to pay. 15GB is enough for me, but I see myself upgrading and paying the additional charges for more storage regularly."

"I can't recall the exact pricing per user for Google Workspace, but I know it's not that expensive. I'm in a mid-sized company that's able to maintain and afford Google Workspace, so it has competitive pricing, and I would rate its price as four out of five."

"2,500 Rupees per month per user."

"I would rate the pricing and eight out of ten."

"Pricing and licensing is very competitive and in some cases, cheap."

"The license is based on the number of users."

"There are various licensing plans available based on geographic zone."

"Price-wise, it's a cheaper solution, without a doubt. Price is the reason we are still using the tool."

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

"The solution is priced well."

"The solution is inexpensive which is its main benefit."

"We are using perpetual licenses. We have deployed it in our local data center, and we buy perpetual licenses on a per-user basis."

"The solution is competitively priced."

"Zimbra Collaboration offers a good price-to-feature ratio."

"I use Zimbra Collaboration's community version. We may move to the enterprise version since prices are affordable."

"If you choose the network edition, it is a little pricier. They have the open-source edition too which is only community supported."

"Zimbra Collaboration is less expensive than Microsoft Exchange. Zimbra works for small companies because it is not expensive. Zimbra Collaboration has more security tools than Microsoft Exchange. If you are choosing between Zimbra Collaboration and Microsoft Exchange, you have to take into account the cost of security tools with Microsoft Exchange. When you purchase Microsoft Exchange, you will also have to purchase tools for security, which adds to the cost. The migration from Zimbra Collaboration to another email solution is very simple and easy. Migration from Microsoft Exchange to another email solution is very difficult. Microsoft doesn't allow migration that easily. In fact, you have to pay for tools to do that. You have to buy some expensive tools to migrate."

"When it comes to the licensing of Zimbra Collaboration, my license covers the servers and I find its terms to be much simpler than those of Microsoft Exchange."

"We pay yearly licenses for Zimbra Collaboration."
