KerioConnect vs Microsoft Exchange comparison

"The user interface is good."

"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."

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

"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."

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

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

"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."

"I find the Outlook client very valuable. It allows me to connect to the Exchange Server and send and receive emails easily. The graphical interface is user-friendly and has a good look and feel."

"Communication is the most valuable feature of the solution."

"One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Exchange is its security."

"The functionality on the user side is quite good. Exchange provides an excellent platform for collaboration between users."

"All features are useful; they meet the purpose of an email server."

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The initial setup is very simple."

"The most valuable features are that you can exchange information, tasks, attachments, and enhance the process in a short amount of time."

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

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

"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"

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

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

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

"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."

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

"The desktop version of Microsoft Exchange receives emails a little slower than the online version."

"There are limitations in terms of the number of emails that can be sent in a minute, which makes it a little difficult for the marketing folks."

"There is a problem when scheduling an event for the whole day."

"The calendar integration in Exchange is not that great. The email features are okay, but it doesn't integrate well with the calendar and appointments, especially Zoom appointments. It integrates fine with Microsoft Teams, but Zoom is a challenge."

"The solution should be easier to deploy."

"It is important to have the updated version for scalability."

"The setup is difficult so could be easier."

"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."

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

"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."

"I rate Microsoft Exchange a four out of ten for pricing because it is quite cheap, and many companies use the solution."

"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."

"We renew the product license with Microsoft every three years. The cost is included within a bundle of services. It's an enterprise agreement with Microsoft."

"The product is quite cheap."

"Licensing costs for Microsoft Exchange have increased, but are still fair. For some users, the cost is high considering the number of functions and features they will use."

"Its price is fair."

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

"The price of Microsoft Exchange could improve. In Egypt, the price keeps increasing."
