Microsoft Exchange vs OpenText GroupWise comparison

"The ability to share information, appointments, and agendas easily is the big value of Microsoft Exchange."

"It is a very scalable solution."

"It's user-friendly."

"Provides unlimited storage for our mailbox."

"With the cloud coming in, scalability is not an issue even for Microsoft."

"This solution handles all of our primary functionality including email, message delivery, message archiving and calendars."

"The technical support is fine."

"The email management system is very easy to set up, configure, and use."

"Very secure with great storage capacity."

"The cost-effectiveness of the solution is most valuable."

"I like the ease of logging best in Micro Focus GroupWise. I also like its proxy capabilities from a user level. I also like how secure Micro Focus GroupWise is."

"Microsoft Exchange could improve by adding artificial intelligence."

"Microsoft could make it easier to combine comments in the GUI. It isn't easy to do certain things in Exchange, primarily if the administrator isn't used to the command line, so I think the customer interface could be improved."

"We are not able to use Microsoft Teams due to connection issues. Thus, the product integration with Teams could be improved."

"They could offer simultaneous features for Exchange Online and on-premises versions. Specific features such as litigation hold and audit setups should be available on-premises."

"The solution's hybrid deployment process could be improved, particularly for customers who initially started in the cloud and may want to return to an on-premises setup. Microsoft could make this transition more flexible."

"Microsoft could improve on Exchange's hybrid deployment or HCW. They need to improve on that because I was having many issues with HCW in our environment at times."

"The platform could be more user-friendly."

"I would like to see Microsoft Exchange improve their documentation."

"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."

"The WebAccess feature is somewhat lacking and could be improved."

"We can get Exchange in the cloud along with the Microsoft 365 license."

"There are different prices depending on the customer's use cases and amount of users. The price of the solution could improve."

"We are currently using enterprise licenses for the solution. They are different pricing models available. There are individual, cloud-based, and enterprise licenses all with different pricing models. The larger the number of users, the lesser the price. For small to medium companies like us, we feel it is expensive."

"Microsoft Exchange is an inexpensive application."

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

"Its price is very affordable, and basically, it is the standard of the industry. We have the Exchange 365 subscription, which includes the usage of Exchange Online. I don't know the specific cost, but it is the retail price of Microsoft 365 E3 licenses. Microsoft's licensing is not very easy to understand. Microsoft changes rules every other day, which makes it difficult for us to understand the licensing not only for Exchange but also for other products. It can sometimes be really complex to understand what you need to have in order to comply with Microsoft licensing."

"Its price is okay."

"The platform has a reasonable price."

"Micro Focus GroupWise is the most affordable solution on-premises. Versus Microsoft Exchange on-premises, pricing is 20:1, so there's no comparison. Micro Focus GroupWise is cheaper, though, for my clients, it's not about the cost but the stability and security of the solution."

"It was a part of the suite, so it was very cost-effective. There were no costs beyond the licensing fee."
