Cons
"Although the documentation is extensive and in depth, you must familiarize yourself with it before taking full advantage of the product.""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.""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.""Our customers sometimes have problems receiving mail.""Although it is not a tool, video conferencing should be scalable and operate in a professional and efficient way.""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.""I would like to have a trial for mobile applications and more documentation similar to Google Drive with mobile applications."

More IceWarp Cons →

"The WebAccess feature is somewhat lacking and could be improved.""Their support can be improved. It is not as good as it used to be.""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."
