KerioConnect vs Zimbra Collaboration comparison

"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."

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

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

"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."

"Zimbra Collaboration is light to manage. It works on the Linux operating system, which is far better to manage than Microsoft Windows. Microsoft Exchange works only on the Windows server. We prefer working on the Linux server for security reasons and ease of management. Zimbra Collaboration also has some integrated tools for security. It some modules to fight malware. These modules are not very powerful but are still doing a great job. Microsoft Exchange doesn't have a basic module. You have to purchase a security solution and add it to the solution. The cost of Zimbra Collaboration is one more reason for liking it. It is also very simple to migrate from Zimbra Collaboration to another email solution."

"Zimbra Collaboration has integrated a lot of their party tools and they have good documentation available."

"One of the premium features was customized rooms tailored to the collaboration needs. Many of the clients customize features such as organization logos and scanners."

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

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

"The configuration is simple."

"The product is easy to set up."

"The stability is good and keeps getting better with each new update."

"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."

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

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

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

"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"

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

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

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

"It does have a few bugs."

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

"I can confidently say that Zimbra is good enough for 2,000 client users. But, at the same time, if my client needs more than that and we have two options—Zimbra or Microsoft—I'm going with Microsoft because many admins will speak to Microsoft's ability to handle that many."

"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 product must be more customizable."

"We have had an issue with security."

"Zimbra should provide a desktop client. Right now, we are using a web browser for accessing our emails. There should also be a desktop client."

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

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

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

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

"The solution is competitively priced."

"It's very expensive. When we compare the cost with Google Workspace, it's so expensive."

"We pay yearly licenses for Zimbra Collaboration."

"Zimbra Collaboration is expensive, and there is no perpetual license option."

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

"The price of the solution is low."

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

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