Microsoft Exchange Online vs OpenText GroupWise comparison

"Technical support is helpful."

"It's pretty reliable. We haven't had any issues with it."

"I enjoy not having to maintain the local infrastructure, local servers, local whatever. You use the software and don't have to worry about the details."

"The data prevention and protection feature is good."

"The solution is stable."

"I have found the interface to be user-friendly and the overall simplicity valuable features."

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

"The solution offers complete scalability and flexibility."

"Very secure with great storage capacity."

"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."

"I don't like it in general. It sort of has that Microsoft flavor to it, which is just the style they use and the way they color things and lay them out."

"The solution could improve by making the user interface better."

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

"I feel that there is a need for improvement in the product, considering that there are some concerns with the tool's integration capabilities."

"Microsoft needs to lower the price of the extra production add-ins for Exchange Online."

"The UI could be improved to look more like the desktop version for ease of use."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

"We bought some licenses, and some are within our package or partnership with Microsoft."

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

"The price is not competitive."

"There is an annual enterprise subscription to use Microsoft Exchange Online. The price is reasonable."

"The price of the solution could be less expensive."

"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."

"Initially, we had issues with the licensing agreement, but we worked it out with Microsoft."

"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."
