Zimbra Collaboration Reviews

We typically use the solution for our email and collaboration. It’s nothing much. It’s just the basic functionality that we are leveraging.

The subscription base in terms of their support, unlike before, now has a community addition. Now, everything is free.

It's just easy to use and straightforward. For an SMB, it is a recommendable email solution.

The product is easy to set up.

It’s a stable solution.

It does have a few bugs. However, they are small and can be worked around.

The performance could be better in terms of handling multiple domains.

I’ve used the solution for three to five years at this point. I’ve used it for a while now. It’s been a long time.

The stability has been great. There are some bugs that can be fixed with minor workarounds. It doesn’t crash or freeze. It’s reliable. I like the performance, however, of course, it could be better.

We have about 150 users on the solution currently.

We do not really plan to increase usage as we are trying to reduce it due to the pandemic. We really need to trim it down, actually.

We haven’t needed support, although in the community version, there is a community you can reach to for help. The community has been responsive so far.

The solution is easy to set up. It’s not overly complicated.

The installation process only takes an hour. It’s pretty fast.

Deployment and maintenance only require two people. There’s an engineer and a systems admin.

We have an integrator that assists us.

There is now a community addition that is free to use.

We are using an older version of the solution.

I’d rate the solution eight out of ten.

I would recommend the solution to others, especially if they happen to be an SMB.

Our primary use case is for email purposes.

I would like to see a Microsoft schedule function added. In addition, some additional appearance and convenience features would be nice.

The most valuable feature of Zimbra Collaboration is the cost.

I have been working with Zimbra Collaboration for the past three or four years.

In general, the overall stability is good.

The initial setup was straightforward and not difficult.

Zimbra Collaboration has a better price than Microsoft.

When you compare it to Microsoft the only major difference is the scheduling and advanced scheduling feature

I would rate Zimbra Collaboration and eight out of ten.

Zimbra Collaboration is useful for small to medium organizations, such as educational institutes, schools, and universities. For big businesses and enterprises, I do not this it is as useful. There are some other useful solutions, such as Office 365 and Google Cloud which would be better suited.

The logs, troubleshooting, and tracking we have found to be the most valuable features. We have any issues with lost messages the features are useful. It is very easy to track and log.

I have been using Zimbra Collaboration for approximately 10 years.

Zimbra Collaboration has been stable.

I have found Zimbra Collaboration to be scalable but could improve.

We have approximately 400 to 500 users that use this solution.

We do not have plans to increase usage.

I have been satisfied with the technical support from Zimbra Collaboration.

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

We used help from an integrator for the implementation.

We have approximately four administrators and engineers that support this solution.

We do not pay for licenses to use this solution.

I would recommend this solution for small to medium-scale businesses.

I rate Zimbra Collaboration a seven out of ten.

We primarily install Zimbra Collaborations for the many customers that we have. It's primarily used for networking and collaboration.

The pricing of the solution is excellent.

It's a newer solution with a modern interface and dashboard.

The interface itself is very responsive and easy to navigate.

The initial setup is very simple and straightforward.

The stability is good and keeps getting better with each new update. 

The pricing of the product is excellent. 

The solution really does scale very easily. 

Technical support is quite helpful.

We are simply a customer and an end-user. We don't have a business relationship with the organization.

The log files need to be improved. It needs to show us more information. Right now, a lot of detail is lacking and that's not very helpful or insightful.

The solution could use more integration with third-party tools. That would be very useful.

I've been working with the solution for two years at this point. It hasn't been too long.

The solution is quite stable. In fact, its stability continues to grow with updates. It doesn't crash and freeze. there are no bugs or glitches. It's reliable.

Zimbra is very, very scalable. We can start small and go from 20 accounts to very high numbers of additional accounts. It's quite easy to do. If a company needs to scale, it can do so very quickly.

I've been in contact with technical support in the past and I find that they are quite good. They are helpful and responsive. they are knowledgeable about the product and they are helpful when we have queries. We are satisfied with their level of attention.

The initial setup is quite straightforward and very simple. It's not overly complex or difficult. It shouldn't prove to be too much of a challenge.

We install the solution for our customers.

The solution is very low cost. It's an open-source solution. It's not an expensive option.

I'd recommend the solution to other organizations due to the fact that the solution very low-cost and it's an open-source option - which is very attractive to many companies. We installed it in a Linux system so that we can get more security on our platform. 

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We are quite satisfied with the capabilities of the product.

We are using the solution for inhouse emails.

The web interface is powerful and easy to use.

I have been using the solution for a couple of years.

The solution is very stable.

From what I have heard the solution is scalable. I have not had an experience with scaling it but I am aware of some very large companies that use it.

The support was lacking in my experience. However, recently the support I received was good. Perhaps they have improved. 

With the networking edition of the solution you receive 
the full support options.

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

My advice is to try and make sure that the target environment is suited for the web interface because that is where most of its features are found.

I rate Zimbra Collaboration a nine out of ten.

We have customers that are using the on-premise version of Zimbra Collaboration and others are using the cloud.

We Zimbra Collaboration to send and receive email primarily. Additionally, we use it for collaboration, sharing documents, and calendar contacts. It's a solution for massaging and collaboration.

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

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.

The video conference solution Zimbra Connect is a mediocre solution for video conferences. They should make it more similar to Office 365 and add some collaboration with other solutions, such as Alfresco.

I have been using Zimbra Collaboration for approximately two years.

Zimbra Collaboration must work on the high availability of the platform.

I have found Zimbra not to be very stable. If we see in one node, we have a lot of patches and collective principles of security. Zimbra is not very stable, but it's okay. We can see some bugs in the Zimbra Collaboration but they release patches to fix them. For example, in the last patches, they corrected a vulnerability that could have caused an attack with Log4j.

This solution is scalable horizontally and vertically

Zimbra Collaboration is suitable for all sizes of companies, small, medium, and large companies, such as government, industry, and media.

I have been satisfied with the support.

The initial setup of Zimbra Collaboration is straightforward. However, we must be the administrators of Linux because we need to have access to the command-line to install it. We cannot install it with the graphic interface. We must have the ability to manage some command line code in the systems of Linux.

The time of the deployment depends on the complexity of the architecture. For example, if we install it in one node, it can take a maximum of one hour. However, when we install in the multi-node system. A complex installation can take over three days.

We provide the services for our customers, the fabric, and the training centers.

The price of the solution is low. 

The total cost of our projects is low. For example, if we compare Zimbra Collaboration with Microsoft, the license of one account they are probably the same price. However, after the initial licensing, to add more options or use features in the Microsoft solution you must purchase them. In Zimbra, when we buy a license, there are only two levels of license. If we buy the premium license, we have almost all the features activated in our license.

My advice to those wanting to implement Zimbra Collaboration is they will have to have some experience in the manipulation of Linux systems. If there are issues with Zimbra Collaboration there should be someone with experience. If there is no one with experience with the ability to manage Linux systems, you will not be able to troubleshoot any problem in Zimbra Collaboration.

I rate Zimbra Collaboration an eight out of ten.

Most valuable to us is the fact that it's open source, so it's possible to do a lot of customization. Zimbrais easy to manage.

The calendar is a quite useful organizational tool. We also created a lot of accounts for special needs, since we can have as many as we want.

There are some bugs we found that could be fixed. Also, there was a chat tool which was really useful, but was discontinued.

We’ve used Zimbra for 4 years.

We did not encounter any issues with stability.

Regarding scalability, from a user point-of-view, gmail is more convenient with all the other tools, such as Google Docs, Google Drive, etc.

We did not use any other solutions.

To complete the initial setup, you need to adjust the spam filter, setup DKIM, etc. Also, it’s Linux-based, so you need to be familiar with that environment.

The free version is good enough for a small to medium size company.

We evaluated Gmail before going with Zimbra.

If you don’t have a technical person to manage the project, you may want to use a different solution.

I work mainly with webmail. On the web, we have more than 10,000 accounts on our server

It is the best open source collaboration suite that I know, because it provides high availability and more performance than the other solutions.

We can control all the data in my IT infrastructure.

• Shared folders
• Mobile synchronization
• Admin tools
• Anti-spam tools
• Webmail is simple and powerful.

• Online documents edition
• File sharing permissions with Nextcloud integration
• More features for the open source edition
• Native HA for more virtualization platforms, like Proxmox
