Microsoft Exchange vs OpenText GroupWise comparison

"It is easy to set up."

"The deployment is a plug-and-play process."

"The interface is user-friendly."

"Exchange has helped us with encryption."

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Exchange is the email storage is on the cloud. We don't have to delete emails often."

"Exchange is a robust system that is well suited for an enterprise environment. It's always up, and we hardly face any technical issues. Exchange has a web interface and integrates perfectly with Microsoft Outlook. This web interface can be easily used to change the passwords from the domain controllers."

"The solution can scale well."

"The platform's most valuable feature is the mailbox roles."

"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."

"Nothing is perfect, that's why I am giving Microsoft Exchange a nine."

"The solution could be more user-friendly."

"For new users, it might take them some time to get used to the product."

"I would like to see the search capability of the Outlook client improved"

"It's not always the finest solution in terms of integration with products that are not from Microsoft. It integrates very well with Microsoft products but not with third-party products."

"I don't have the best impression of customer service and support. It should be faster and more clear, and more human. T"

"When an update wants to come, it should just come maybe once or twice rather than having us deal with constant updating."

"Microsoft Exchange could improve security. They can elevate a lot of security features."

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

"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."

"Its price is very affordable, and basically, it is the standard of the industry. We have the Exchange 365 subscription, which includes the usage of Exchange Online. I don't know the specific cost, but it is the retail price of Microsoft 365 E3 licenses. Microsoft's licensing is not very easy to understand. Microsoft changes rules every other day, which makes it difficult for us to understand the licensing not only for Exchange but also for other products. It can sometimes be really complex to understand what you need to have in order to comply with Microsoft licensing."

"We renew the product license with Microsoft every three years. The cost is included within a bundle of services. It's an enterprise agreement with Microsoft."

"I rate Microsoft Exchange's pricing a six out of ten."

"There is an annual cost to use Microsoft Exchange, and the price could be less expensive."

"Microsoft Exchange itself does not require a license, but users who will have mailboxes will require a license. It depends on the number of users to choose which license. If you exceed 2,000 mailboxes, it's preferable to get the enterprise license."

"The product is quite cheap."

"Licensing fees are paid monthly."

"Its price is fair."

"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."
