"The logs, troubleshooting, and tracking we have found to be the most valuable features. We have any issues with lost messages the features are useful. It is very easy to track and log."

"Zimbra Collaboration is a good tool for video calls...Zimbra Collaboration's initial setup phase was easy."

"An area for improvement in HCL Domino is security. New enhancements in the IT industry mean that security should be improved. The HCL Domino GUI also needs improvement."

"For me, the one thing missing is a really good reporting engine."

"The product's user interface is one of its shortcomings since it is outdated, making it an area for improvement."

"The speed of the Notes client is an area that could be improved."

"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 solution could improve by making it easier to use."

"They should enhance its online meeting features."

"Some issues cause the solution not to function correctly or to cause downtime once a month."

"I would like to see a Microsoft schedule function added."

"We have had an issue with security."

"In the next release, Zimbra Collaboration should include a security feature to allow access for mobile device administrators."

"While I don't have precise pricing information at hand, my understanding is that it tends to be on the higher end."

"I'd rate it a seven out of ten in terms of price."

"HCL Domino's pricing depends on the number of users, but its license is not cheap."

"Customers have to pay for a license for the Notes Client, not for the Domino database. There is a quarter license that we use."

"The pricing is subjective and contingent on the intended usage."

"HCL Domino is costly, but it still depends on how your organization views it price-wise."

"The pricing is individually determined. For us, in our current deployment, we pay $12.50 Canadian per month per user."

"We chose to pay for our licensing fees annually."

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

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

"We do not pay for licenses to use this solution."

"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."

"The solution is competitively priced."

"The price of the solution is low."

"We pay yearly licenses for Zimbra Collaboration."

"Zimbra Collaboration is expensive, and there is no perpetual license option."
