Google Workspace vs Microsoft Exchange vs Zimbra Collaboration comparison

"It's more open than Microsoft and easy to use."

"I like everything that Google does. They have good products."

"The valuable features include the email service, email updates, and Google Drive."

"It's easy to use."

"The initial setup is easy."

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"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"

"The tool's most valuable feature is associated with the fact that it stands out for being beneficial for managing emails."

"All of Exchange's features are valuable. For example, we can configure the MAPI profile, IM profile, or mobile profile."

"The most valuable feature of Zimbra for our team's productivity is its efficiency in handling email communication."

"The product is easy to set up."

"The web interface is powerful and easy to use."

"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's sharing features are most valuable."

"We can control all the data in my IT infrastructure."

"Integrating Copilot with Google Workspace is slightly difficult."

"The UI could be more graphic and sassy, but otherwise, it is quite functional."

"There is some redundancy in the functionality between certain modules."

"Less customizations than there used to be."

"Google Mail's spam filter needs improvement. If I'm sending mail to another email user, sometimes it goes to the spam folder, and they won't know unless they check because they aren't seeing it in the primary inbox. They may miss important emails. At the same time, I'm receiving spam that shouldn't go to my inbox."

"There's a bit of a learning curve."

"They could increase the number of third-party integrations on offer."

"Google needs to improve its support."

"In the version we have, I would like to see better communication between the end device and the Exchange server."

"In terms of configuring the product, that's definitely an area in which they can make some improvements on."

"More AI features would be good."

"The pricing could be better, and it could have an easier implementation."

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

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

"Deployment should become a bit easier, the process is a bit complicated. You have to have done it one or two times before you get it right. The first time you do it, it won't be perfect. There are a lot of complications compared to Gmail For Business, which is a bit easier when it comes to configuration."

"The setup is difficult so could be easier."

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

"Zimbra should provide a desktop client. Right now, we are using a web browser for accessing our emails. There should also be a desktop client."

"The tool should improve its multi-cloud feature."

"I would like to see a Microsoft schedule function added."

"File sharing permissions with Nextcloud integration need improvement."

"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."

"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."

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

"There are benefits that can provide a competitive advantage, e.g., improved productivity (with appropriate training), increased collaboration (with correct use of tools), flexible working - work from home or remote locations, easy to scale - fast onboarding of new employees, and ability to add and remove licenses, as required."

"G Suite and Microsoft Office 365 offer products with similar functionality at several different price points. Zoho offer a more extensive range of products and attempts to provide all the applications required to run most small and medium-sized businesses."

"The price per client within the business is too high."

"Careful consideration should be given to the different licensing options and provisions should be made for additional applications that may be required for your particular business."

"Licensing costs are on a yearly basis."

"The pricing is very high, although I cannot tell if this is the result of the Indian vendors artificially inflating it."

"Pricing is something concerning. We find the solution very expensive."

"Approximately $6 per user, per month."

"The price of Microsoft Exchange could improve. In Egypt, the price keeps increasing."

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

"It's working very well. There is no problem, but the price is not the best."

"Its price is okay."

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

"It is not expensive."

"We pay for the license annually."

"The solution is expensive to maintain because it requires frequent updates and ongoing server maintenance."

"I use Zimbra Collaboration's community version. We may move to the enterprise version since prices are affordable."

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

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

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

"We do not pay for licenses to use this solution."

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

"When it comes to the licensing of Zimbra Collaboration, my license covers the servers and I find its terms to be much simpler than those of Microsoft Exchange."

"Zimbra Collaboration is less expensive than Microsoft Exchange. Zimbra works for small companies because it is not expensive. Zimbra Collaboration has more security tools than Microsoft Exchange. If you are choosing between Zimbra Collaboration and Microsoft Exchange, you have to take into account the cost of security tools with Microsoft Exchange. When you purchase Microsoft Exchange, you will also have to purchase tools for security, which adds to the cost. The migration from Zimbra Collaboration to another email solution is very simple and easy. Migration from Microsoft Exchange to another email solution is very difficult. Microsoft doesn't allow migration that easily. In fact, you have to pay for tools to do that. You have to buy some expensive tools to migrate."
