Zimbra Collaboration vs Zoho Mail comparison

"Zimbra Collaboration is light to manage. It works on the Linux operating system, which is far better to manage than Microsoft Windows. Microsoft Exchange works only on the Windows server. We prefer working on the Linux server for security reasons and ease of management. Zimbra Collaboration also has some integrated tools for security. It some modules to fight malware. These modules are not very powerful but are still doing a great job. Microsoft Exchange doesn't have a basic module. You have to purchase a security solution and add it to the solution. The cost of Zimbra Collaboration is one more reason for liking it. It is also very simple to migrate from Zimbra Collaboration to another email solution."

"Zimbra Collaboration has a good web interface."

"The most valuable feature of Zimbra Collaboration is the cost."

"The product is easy to set up."

"The Zimbra Collaboration's most valuable feature is web access."

"Network NG Modules are valuable to us."

"The backup and storage management features of Zimbra Collaboration are valuable."

"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."

"Zoho gives you a set amount of free users, so you can use it until you reach the limit and see if it's something you want to adopt. I tried it and stuck with it. Since then, I've seen a lot of improvement. I already think it's top-notch, but I believe it will become one of the best in the world."

"I like Zoho Mail's user interface."

"The solution has more security compared to other products. Zoho Mail comes with TLS and SSL. It has email-sharing features. It is an advanced product."

"Zoho Mail is a cost-effective solution."

"It uses an alert system and other monitoring tools."

"Zoho Mail organizes your email well, and you can do a lot of things if you use other Zoho applications along with it."

"The most valuable features of Zoho Mail are its security, integration with cloud storage, and wide range of features available. It integrates well with Outlook and mobile devices."

"We can create email accounts for our customers."

"The solution could improve by making it easier to use."

"It does have a few bugs."

"Zimbra Collaboration does not have a solution roadmap as aggressive as the new collaboration mail solutions. Additionally, they can have a better interface and integration with single sign-on."

"The installation is not straightforward, it can take two days for the full implementation."

"Zimbra Collaboration could improve the migration from a basic solution to a more containerized solution. For example, the installation should be able to extend to the containers and manage them with some solution, such as OpenShift or Kubernetes."

"Zimbra must improve its solution to make it easy so that the users don't have to use webmail to connect to their accounts and log in to webmail every time. This is something that is lacking in Zimbra Collaboration. They should provide a better way to easily connect email applications on the desktop to the Zimbra server. They should also try to have more functionality for storage management, like Microsoft Exchange. Currently, the management of the email data must be done manually in Zimbra Collaboration, which we are finding very difficult. They should provide a way to save emails so that you can have more space on the server and storage. Because of the lack of this functionality, we are planning to migrate to Microsoft Exchange. Microsoft Exchange provides a better way to manage storage than Zimbra Collaboration. You cannot have a mail solution without storage management because emails will always increase. Zimbra Collaboration also needs tools for management. More back-office tools are required to manage the whole mailbox and space. You don't only manage emails but also the documents attached to the emails. Therefore, you require tools to select and decide what do you want to save or how do you want to free up space in your infrastructure."

"They should enhance its online meeting features."

"We have had an issue with security."

"The solution's meeting plans and online virtual activity task list could be improved and made more seamless."

"The initial setup of Zoho Mail can take some time because we have 30 to 35 users and we need to register each one. This can take one or two days to complete. The process could be better for administrators to register their users. If the setup interface was better in explaining the process it would be helpful to become more user-friendly."

"The interface isn't quite good. Everything looks a little low-quality."

"We face some challenges in our current architecture with the introduction of data privacy regulations. When you are sending a calendar invite to a group of people for a meeting or an event, there is no structure for privacy. You can't hide all the contacts. Maybe that feature exists, but I don't know where it is."

"The solution’s stability could be improved."

"Zoho Mail needs to improve its integration because direct integration is not possible with many applications."

"The solution doesn't need to be improved."

"They have issues when they are rolling out updates"

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

"Zimbra Collaboration offers a good price-to-feature ratio."

"We pay yearly licenses for Zimbra Collaboration."

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

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

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

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

"There is an annual standard licensing fee to use Zimbra Collaboration and there is no other cost."

"One of the reasons people use Zoho in Nigeria is because we can pay for it in Naira. It's very affordable already. For example, we can get Zoho Mail for somewhere between 1000 naira per user, which is less than one dollar. In my opinion, it's very affordable."

"The solution is not costly."

"The solution is more affordable compared to other products. It is cheap."

"If you have ten users, for Google, you'll pay $100. With Zoho Mail, you'll only pay $30 to $40."

"Zoho Mail is more cost-efficient than its competitors."

"The solution’s pricing is very reasonable."

"There is no license required to use Zoho Mail."

"Zoho One has all 50 applications in it, and Zoho Mail is part of it. Zoho One is about 35 GBP per person per month. It includes Zoho Projects, Zoho Mail, Zoho CRM, and everything else."
