KerioConnect vs Zimbra Collaboration comparison

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

"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."

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

"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."

"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 user interface is good."

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

"A lot of other products like Microsoft Exchange offer email or collaboration features, but they are not as fast as Zimbra."

"The web interface is powerful and easy to use."

"The most valuable feature of Zimbra for our team's productivity is its efficiency in handling email communication."

"Zimbra Collaboration's sharing features are most valuable."

"The configuration is simple."

"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."

"Good email solution and it's open-source."

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

"The product must be more customizable."

"File sharing permissions with Nextcloud integration need improvement."

"The tool should improve its multi-cloud feature."

"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."

"It does have a few bugs."

"There are some security issues."

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

"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."

"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."

"If you choose the network edition, it is a little pricier. They have the open-source edition too which is only community supported."

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

"We pay yearly licenses for Zimbra Collaboration."

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

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

"We do not pay for licenses to use this solution."

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

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