KerioConnect vs Zimbra Collaboration comparison

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"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 feature is sending messages as well as text and documents. It's a big solution for us since internal communication is a must in our organization."

"The configuration is simple."

"The product is easy to set up."

"The Zimbra Collaboration's most valuable feature is web access."

"The most valuable feature of Zimbra Collaboration is the cost."

"It has all collaboration features, such as document sharing, video conferencing, chatting, task sharing, and calendar sharing."

"One of the most valuable features involves the solution's automatic backup, which I find to be pretty simple and straightforward, and obviates the need for additional software."

"We can control all the data in my IT infrastructure."

"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."

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

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

"The solution could use more integration with third-party tools."

"The new patches are, at times, not so good, so we don't install them, causing the tool to be not so stable overall."

"Zimbra must improve its solution to make it easy so that the users don't have to use webmail to connect to their accounts and log in to webmail every time. This is something that is lacking in Zimbra Collaboration. They should provide a better way to easily connect email applications on the desktop to the Zimbra server. They should also try to have more functionality for storage management, like Microsoft Exchange. Currently, the management of the email data must be done manually in Zimbra Collaboration, which we are finding very difficult. They should provide a way to save emails so that you can have more space on the server and storage. Because of the lack of this functionality, we are planning to migrate to Microsoft Exchange. Microsoft Exchange provides a better way to manage storage than Zimbra Collaboration. You cannot have a mail solution without storage management because emails will always increase. Zimbra Collaboration also needs tools for management. More back-office tools are required to manage the whole mailbox and space. You don't only manage emails but also the documents attached to the emails. Therefore, you require tools to select and decide what do you want to save or how do you want to free up space in your infrastructure."

"The antispam and antivirus features are hard to understand on mobile devices."

"The solution’s forums don't have much information or documentation on administration tasks."

"Zimbra Collaboration does not have a solution roadmap as aggressive as the new collaboration mail solutions. Additionally, they can have a better interface and integration with single sign-on."

"It would be great if a group chat feature were created to allow for a team environment."

"Zimbra Collaboration's video conferencing could be improved."

"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 the solution is low."

"The solution is competitively priced."

"We are using perpetual licenses. We have deployed it in our local data center, and we buy perpetual licenses on a per-user basis."

"The solution is not expensive compared to other products."

"I use Zimbra Collaboration's community version. We may move to the enterprise version since prices are affordable."

"Zimbra Collaboration offers a good price-to-feature ratio."

"We pay yearly licenses for Zimbra Collaboration."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the price a four"
