IceWarp vs KerioConnect comparison

"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."

"The product is used very extensively in my company since we have around 1,500 users using it. Also, there is no requirement for any administrators to manage the product by the people who own the solution."

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

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

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

"It's scalable and stable."

"The groupware module is the most valuable feature."

"The user interface is good."

"The most valuable features are its ease of use, excellent pricing, and it is platform agnostic."

"What I like most about Kerio Connect is that it supports ActiveSync, and that is its most critical feature. The solution is also a nice, simple, robust, and stable mail server."

"The most valuable features are security and privacy because you installed it on your server, within your company premises, not in the cloud."

"We have contacted technical support a handful of times and received some assistance."

"Kerio Connect is secure, flexible, and easy to control from the user interface. It has many security features able to be controlled from one place, such as anti-spam. I have found it very convenient. Additionally, you can analyze log files and share folders which is helpful."

"It's relatively simple to use."

"We use the solution as a mail server. It connects with Outlook and is used for calendaring and similar tasks."

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

"The tool's configuration capabilities are not straightforward. Apart from that, if I want to archive emails into a vault so that they can be retrieved again later, the integration doesn't work, and IceWarp crashes."

"Although the documentation is extensive and in depth, you must familiarize yourself with it before taking full advantage of the product."

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

"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."

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

"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 could improve the redundancy because we only have one copy of the Kerio Connect server on our hardware. The next step for us is to move to the cloud and if Kerio does not have a cloud version available they should release one"

"KerioConnect is stable as long as you use a strong password."

"I would like to see better support from their support team."

"Most of our clients use Outlook and Kerio Connect. Occasionally, Kerio can be a bit slow. They could make it faster to get onto the web interface without so much load time. It's just slow with Outlook, however, for some reason."

"It could be simpler to use and install, but I still wouldn't use it because there isn't a compelling use case."

"You cannot integrate with other services like Google Docs, Google Assistant, Google Calendar, etc."

"We are considering switching to Microsoft Exchange. One reason is that it doesn't improve our workflow and doesn't integrate well with Microsoft 365 applications."

"KerioConnect continues to improve with regular updates throughout the year. They must be added to the roadmap, which requires approval."

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

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

"It is definitely one of the lowest price solutions."

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

"The solution is priced well."

"I don't see any challenges for the Indian market. For example, 1 GB is available for around 399 INR, and 2 GB for 499 INR. They offer a range of plans, from basic to professional and enterprise, with multiple features. IceWarp's aggressive pricing is competitive compared to other market solutions like Zoho and Microsoft. One significant advantage is that IceWarp does not impose user capping like Google and Microsoft, which allows for substantial cost savings and flexibility in user conversion."

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

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

"KerioConnect has a first-time cost and yearly subscription. It is not expensive."

"The price of Kerio Connect is better when comparing it to others solutions."

"The solution's pricing depends on how long you plan to keep it because you pay on a per-year basis. You might have a one-time setup cost for something like Microsoft Exchange or a Linux mail server. I'd say this solution is expensive on a per-year basis, almost 2000-3000 dollars annually. It doesn't seem to pay off yet, so we're considering switching to another product."

"The pricing is about $3 per mailbox per month."
