Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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 its ease of use, excellent pricing, and it is platform agnostic.""It's relatively simple to use.""We have contacted technical support a handful of times and received some assistance.""The user interface is good."

"Mimecast has some good support services in place.""The Large File Send feature comes in handy when you have to send fairly large attachments.""The security is pretty good, and that's why we're going to upgrade to an even more advanced package. We used it when we had a power issue, and it works. It has been pretty reliable, and the support has been quite good.""We're now certain business-critical mail is perfectly protected in multiple ways.""The most valuable feature of Mimecast Mailbox Continuity is real-time alerts.""It has all the features required for distribution, such as the ability to mail."

Cons
"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.""It could be simpler to use and install, but I still wouldn't use it because there isn't a compelling use case.""The search and archiving documentation capabilities need to be stronger.""I would like to see better support from their support team.""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""Having a native Outlook map integration would make Kerio Connect better."

More KerioConnect Cons →

"The price of the solution is expensive. It can improve by reducing the price.""The interface and the documentation could be improved. They can also include some more training resources and content like video. While setting things up, I had to search for the information quite a bit. It took me time to find the correct way to do something. The information is there, but it is sort of all over the place. They can create a better help knowledge base or help portal. It retains your email for 45 days. They can maybe increase this duration.""The interface isn't the best. How everything works on the back end is confusing.""The solution is expensive in comparison to similar solutions.""Technical support has been slower than it was in the past, likely due to the pandemic."
