KerioConnect vs Microsoft Exchange Online comparison

"The user interface is good."

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

"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 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."

"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."

"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."

"It's relatively simple to use."

"Microsoft Exchange Online is very simple and easy to use."

"The most valuable feature is being able to assign an individual a task."

"It's pretty reliable. We haven't had any issues with it."

"I would rate Exchange Online's stability nine out of ten."

"The initial setup is straightforward and is definitely easy."

"The overall usage was all good."

"It's not hard to set up."

"What I like about Microsoft Exchange Online is that it's a very convenient solution because it's part of the Microsoft business suite. This is the first email service I've used that lasted for many years, and I'm still using it because it's very convenient and it's suitable for my needs. Microsoft Exchange Online is the best product in the world for me because I don't remember any other service that's so well-accepted."

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

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

"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."

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

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

"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."

"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"

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

"The solution must provide better security features."

"The solution could improve by making the user interface better."

"The solution could improve with the integrations with some of the known applications is still not possible, there must be more connectors."

"The demo version we were provided had issues with emails bouncing or being delayed."

"It will be much better if the tool is integrated with OpenAI."

"The solution’s API integrations could be improved."

"The product needs to embed AI for intelligent searches and analytics."

"Improving the methods for inputting email signatures could be beneficial for the product."

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

"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."

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

"The cost is around $12 to $16 per user."

"The subscription fee is monthly."

"They have raised their prices, and obviously, it hits our customers. Some of them are deciding to step back from Office 365. For customers who have bought the annual subscription, they are moving to the monthly subscription."

"I have no opinion."

"The product is very cheap."

"We have yearly licensing costs."

"Our organization pays for a corporate license to use the solution."

"There is a license for Microsoft Exchange Online and I have information on that, but there have been so many changes to the licensing and it's a completely different story nowadays. Microsoft has been pushing users to buy a package of products under one license. Users are becoming more dependent on Microsoft rather than independent, that you can't decide anymore, and from my point of view, that is bad."
