Microsoft Exchange Online vs OpenText GroupWise comparison

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Teams for shared calendars."

"It is for emails, and it seems to work okay."

"This solution makes it very easy to receive and detect problems about the mail flow and offers very good reporting. In general, it's very easy to manage the organization's mailboxes."

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Exchange Online is it helps the IT department with problems."

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

"All of the Microsoft Exchange Online is very useful, such as the sections, the information protection, and the mail flows."

"Exchange Online doesn't just do email, it allows for collaboration with inbuilt chat and calling facilities and document sharing."

"The initial setup is straightforward and easy to configure."

"I like the ease of logging best in Micro Focus GroupWise. I also like its proxy capabilities from a user level. I also like how secure Micro Focus GroupWise is."

"The cost-effectiveness of the solution is most valuable."

"Very secure with great storage capacity."

"We use different software for email spoofing filters and similar functions because Exchange is quite limited in this area."

"For example, recently there were some spam incidents that Microsoft does not currently mitigate because they have another paid solution to do so. It would be nice to integrate the security and the anti-spam (i.e. the fake links, etc.) along with the Exchange Online default."

"The interface is a bit confusing."

"Migration can be an issue if you do not have a good audit process."

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

"The SaaS platform performance could be improved. At a previous company, we used this same solution on-premises. The data exchange was much faster compared to the SaaS platform and we sometimes experience lags."

"The solution should have a stand-alone application instead of us having to go through an internet browser."

"I don't really like the response time of the web GUI for administration."

"What I don't like about Micro Focus GroupWise is the removal of the Unix client. Micro Focus took that function away about ten years ago because there wasn't enough demand for it."

"The WebAccess feature is somewhat lacking and could be improved."

"Their support can be improved. It is not as good as it used to be."

"The product is expensive and has an annual subscription."

"It is a reasonable solution."

"The pricing could be improved."

"The price is a bit high. It is especially expensive in the Indian market."

"The pricing for Microsoft Exchange Online is quite reasonable, in my opinion. Many licensing options are available so that we can choose based on the customer's needs. For example, if a customer only requires mailbox features, we can recommend Plan One or Plan 2. We can suggest an E3 or E5 license if they need the entire Office suite. There are also premium subscriptions for enterprise customers, offering additional security features. Overall, I don't find the pricing costly because Microsoft provides many features and security capabilities, making it reliable for all customers, depending on their requirements."

"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."

"I find it reasonably priced."

"We pay per user per year for the cluster with over a thousand users."

"Micro Focus GroupWise is the most affordable solution on-premises. Versus Microsoft Exchange on-premises, pricing is 20:1, so there's no comparison. Micro Focus GroupWise is cheaper, though, for my clients, it's not about the cost but the stability and security of the solution."

"It was a part of the suite, so it was very cost-effective. There were no costs beyond the licensing fee."
