KerioConnect vs Microsoft Exchange Online comparison

"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."

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

"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."

"The user interface is good."

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

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

"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."

"The best thing about Microsoft Exchange Online is that it's integrated with the Outlook application."

"Microsoft has many consultants who can provide support."

"The platform's security and compliance features are good."

"A good investment."

"The solution offers complete scalability and flexibility."

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Exchange Online is if you have people that are geographically distributed from each other is good. For example, if you have people in the United States, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, having an online solution works best because then you can reach the scale of the data centers that are available by Microsoft. Additionally, if you're only going to have two to three people using the solution the cost is a lot less than having an onsite server and licensing. It is highly beneficial in these areas."

"Message trace is the most valuable feature of the product."

"Microsoft Exchange Online is an easy-to-use solution."

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

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

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

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

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

"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."

"When initially setting up, it took a bit of time because we had a lot of PST files with the users, and we had to migrate them batch by batch."

"This product is too complex to use."

"I have found that Microsoft has vulnerabilities when it comes to Exchange Online. It has become the port of a lot of hacker attacks."

"For non-technical people, some configurations might be a little bit difficult. We can use it on our laptops or our portable devices like mobiles and others gadgets, but we have had repeated problems with syncing. That is, when using different gadgets and devices, there are issues with syncing. The configuration could definitely be improved."

"I would like to make the solution more user-friendly."

"Microsoft Exchange Online can improve message delivery. There are times we receive a message that the email failed to be delivered, and there is no reason given. We sometimes have emails that are flagged as spam that are not. We cannot do anything about it because it's not managed by us, it's managed by Microsoft."

"The solution's performance can be improved when you are trying to access it remotely."

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

"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 price of Microsoft Exchange Online security could improve. The overall price of the solution is reasonable."

"The pricing could be improved."

"The pricing for this solution is good. We renew our contract every three years. I would rate the pricing for this solution a three out of five."

"The license for the solution is cheap, but it could be more affordable in the long term."

"There is a license required for the solution and it is paid annually."

"I pay approximately $120 or $150 per year, and as long as I pay that amount, they will do regular updates so that I always have the most recent and greatest version of the application."

"The licensing cost increased at least 15 to 20 percent recently and it would be helpful for them to be reduced."

"I would give the cost a five out of ten."
