Microsoft Exchange vs OpenText GroupWise comparison

"Microsoft has a very good support team."

"Exchange is easy to use. It also has a built-in calendar for all the stuff I'm supposed to be looking at and doing. Exchange tells you if you have a doctor's appointment or a scheduled call. It also has a place to store and manage your contacts. If I want to add a new contact, it will put in information about that contact stored anywhere within the Microsoft Suite."

"It's very well integrated with OneDrive and Teams Calendar."

"It ensures high availability and resilience, allowing seamless recovery from potential failures and making it a reliable option for business-critical operations."

"On-premises Microsoft Exchange is good because it protects data privacy."

"I find the desktop version of Microsoft Exchange looks better than the online version. You can make it a white background. You might be able to make the online background white, but I have no idea how to do that. I know how to do it only on the desktop version"

"I find Exchange's basic mail features to be highly valuable."

"The initial setup is quite a straightforward process. I don't think it is a very complicated solution. Plenty of things could be more complex, but the ordinary, general settings are quite simple."

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

"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 solution should be easier to deploy."

"The product or service could be improved in terms of Microsoft Outlook client compatibility."

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

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

"The calendar integration in Exchange is not that great. The email features are okay, but it doesn't integrate well with the calendar and appointments, especially Zoom appointments. It integrates fine with Microsoft Teams, but Zoom is a challenge."

"The filtering of spam needs significant improvement, as many spam emails are not getting detected."

"The licensing model could be improved."

"The management of .pst files and archiving need improvement."

"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."

"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 solution's pricing is fine...I do think the tool offers value for money."

"Exchange is better for medium to large businesses because it can be quite costly for SMB, which may not need all the options the product provides."

"The product is quite cheap."

"I have Outlook 365 Professional, and Exchange comes in the bundle with other solutions, such as Word and OneDrive. I pay for the use of the bundle monthly and I can imagine if you are a company with many licenses the pricing model would be a lot different."

"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."

"Microsoft's licensing structure is too complex, but its prices are affordable, though not cheap."

"It's a little bit expensive."

"The price of Microsoft Exchange is reasonable."

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

"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."
