Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of IceWarp is the chat rooms and file-sharing, they are useful. It is convenient that everything is in one place. You can easily share and collaborate documents, making the program's unity a significant advantage.""It's scalable and stable.""Its price is the most valuable. It is definitely one of the lowest price solutions.""It has great communication capabilities for team chatting and web conferences.""IceWarp has multiple applications that are easy to use for many people.""The solution has a very good log-in to the UI when compared to other solutions.""The groupware module is the most valuable feature.""The solution's voice services work well for our company."

More IceWarp Pros →

"We have contacted technical support a handful of times and received some assistance.""It's relatively simple to use.""Kerio Connect is secure, flexible, and easy to control from the user interface. It has many security features able to be controlled from one place, such as anti-spam. I have found it very convenient. Additionally, you can analyze log files and share folders which is helpful.""The most valuable features are its ease of use, excellent pricing, and it is platform agnostic.""What I like most about Kerio Connect is that it supports ActiveSync, and that is its most critical feature. The solution is also a nice, simple, robust, and stable mail server.""The most valuable features are security and privacy because you installed it on your server, within your company premises, not in the cloud.""The user interface is good."

Cons
"The user mailbox management is poor.""It's a little bit more expensive than the others."

More Barracuda Message Archiver Cons →

"Although the documentation is extensive and in depth, you must familiarize yourself with it before taking full advantage of the product.""I would like to have a trial for mobile applications and more documentation similar to Google Drive with mobile applications.""The tool's configuration capabilities are not straightforward. Apart from that, if I want to archive emails into a vault so that they can be retrieved again later, the integration doesn't work, and IceWarp crashes.""Our customers sometimes have problems receiving mail.""The solution should improve the mailing list feature. Google has a similar feature where you can automate sending files to different people in a sequence, but that feature is no longer available in the current version of IceWarp. Other features may also have been removed in the current version.""Support should be improved. Most of the time, the queries are not resolved within the SLA.""It is difficult to disable user rights on the console so some users accidentally delete their documents or user details.""With multiple databases for VOIP, chat and web IMAP, maintenance is cumbersome."

More IceWarp Cons →

"The solution could improve the redundancy because we only have one copy of the Kerio Connect server on our hardware. The next step for us is to move to the cloud and if Kerio does not have a cloud version available they should release one""It could be simpler to use and install, but I still wouldn't use it because there isn't a compelling use case.""Most of our clients use Outlook and Kerio Connect. Occasionally, Kerio can be a bit slow. They could make it faster to get onto the web interface without so much load time. It's just slow with Outlook, however, for some reason.""Having a native Outlook map integration would make Kerio Connect better.""You cannot integrate with other services like Google Docs, Google Assistant, Google Calendar, etc.""The search and archiving documentation capabilities need to be stronger.""I would like to see better support from their support team."
