KerioConnect vs Microsoft Exchange comparison

"It's relatively simple to use."

"KerioConnect has integration with 365. We can use Outlook, which has its client and can be used with Apple devices. It integrates with the App Store and Microsoft Office. It has a smart router. The spam filtering and antivirus are good."

"The solution is easy to maintain, unlike Exchange. It's easy to create multiple domains and back up and restore if needed. It also has good security features like anti-spam and antivirus."

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

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

"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 user interface is good."

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

"Microsoft Exchange has good performance and is user-friendly."

"The platform's most valuable feature is the mailbox roles."

"All of Exchange's features are valuable. For example, we can configure the MAPI profile, IM profile, or mobile profile."

"The tool's most valuable feature is associated with the fact that it stands out for being beneficial for managing emails."

"I find the desktop version of Microsoft Exchange looks better than the online version. You can make it a white background. You might be able to make the online background white, but I have no idea how to do that. I know how to do it only on the desktop version"

"The best features are that Exchange is very customer-friendly, its interface is self-explanatory, it doesn't hang, and it keeps evolving."

"It is a product that is simple to manage, and easy to use."

"We have found it to be a stable solution. It is scalable and easy to install."

"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"

"Having a native Outlook map integration would make Kerio Connect better."

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

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

"The search and archiving documentation capabilities need to be stronger."

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

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

"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."

"In terms of what should be improved, they should probably move to a cloud option like Office 365. We would like to get this functionality without the need to deploy complex hardware and software solutions. This should be the next thing, making Exchange more related to Office products, which are more cloud-oriented, less on-premise or desktop-oriented solutions, like the direction Google is strongly moving towards."

"Microsoft Exchange's customer support could be faster and more knowledgeable."

"Microsoft Exchange could improve security. They can elevate a lot of security features."

"Microsoft Exchange needs to improve how it handles and assigns policy and security."

"There can be occasional challenges during the product's implementation phase, making it an area where improvements are needed."

"The licensing model could be improved."

"We are not able to use Microsoft Teams due to connection issues. Thus, the product integration with Teams could be improved."

"The management of .pst files and archiving need improvement."

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

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

"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."

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

"Exchange is better for medium to large businesses because it can be quite costly for SMB, which may not need all the options the product provides."

"I have Outlook 365 Professional, and Exchange comes in the bundle with other solutions, such as Word and OneDrive. I pay for the use of the bundle monthly and I can imagine if you are a company with many licenses the pricing model would be a lot different."

"The product is quite cheap."

"Its price is fair."

"We can get Exchange in the cloud along with the Microsoft 365 license."

"The product pricing is reasonable if you utilize its full suite of features."

"We are currently using enterprise licenses for the solution. They are different pricing models available. There are individual, cloud-based, and enterprise licenses all with different pricing models. The larger the number of users, the lesser the price. For small to medium companies like us, we feel it is expensive."

"Microsoft Exchange is a very well-priced solution."
