Find out in this report how the two Email Applications solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's relatively simple to use."
"The user interface is good."
"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."
"We use the solution as a mail server. It connects with Outlook and is used for calendaring and similar tasks."
"We have contacted technical support a handful of times and received some assistance."
"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."
"Provides unlimited storage for our mailbox."
"It integrates well with calendar, scheduling, etc. It's easy for employees to make meetings and plan their agendas."
"I find Exchange's basic mail features to be highly valuable."
"It's user-friendly."
"Now, we manage to serve almost 99% of the information."
"The latest versions have gotten much better about balancing the load on the backend."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"The availability group settings are better, so it has inherent scalability. In 2010, they added several sensible rules."
"It could be simpler to use and install, but I still wouldn't use it because there isn't a compelling use case."
"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."
"I would like to see better support from their support team."
"The search and archiving documentation capabilities need to be stronger."
"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."
"We are considering switching to Microsoft Exchange. One reason is that it doesn't improve our workflow and doesn't integrate well with Microsoft 365 applications."
"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"
"The management of .pst files and archiving need improvement."
"I would like to see Microsoft Exchange improve their documentation."
"They could improve on the search function, it takes too much time."
"There can be occasional challenges during the product's implementation phase, making it an area where improvements are needed."
"Sometimes we don't get support quickly enough - for example, if there's some global hacker attack, we don't get served as quickly. The skills of the technical staff can also vary, and Microsoft could perhaps improve their training."
"In our current situation, the disappearance of sanctions would be a tangible improvement. We are basically cut off from technical support and it's very difficult to obtain any updates."
"The support needs to be more knowledgeable."
"The price of Microsoft Exchange could improve, it is priced high."
