We performed a comparison between KerioConnect and Microsoft Exchange based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."We use the solution as a mail server. It connects with Outlook and is used for calendaring and similar tasks."
"The user interface is good."
"The most valuable features are its ease of use, excellent pricing, and it is platform agnostic."
"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."
"It's relatively simple to use."
"The most valuable features are security and privacy because you installed it on your server, within your company premises, not in the cloud."
"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."
"We have contacted technical support a handful of times and received some assistance."
"The solution can scale well."
"Communication is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"It is easy to use and we can allow many users because now our users are scattered They over a wide area. We can use it from anywhere. That is the main benefit for us."
"Microsoft Exchange's most valuable feature is that it's old-fashioned communication, meaning it's good for people who aren't able to work comfortably in a cloud environment."
"It's a very user-friendly application. The mail server is also valuable when compared to other services like SquirrelMail."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Exchange is the collaboration tools."
"Microsoft Exchange is highly stable for the end-user systems. When we move to Office 365, it will be even more stable even. There's less administration required and it's very robust. We are really quite happy in using that."
"It's user-friendly."
"I would like to see better support from their support team."
"The search and archiving documentation capabilities need to be stronger."
"It could be simpler to use and install, but I still wouldn't use it because there isn't a compelling use case."
"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."
"You cannot integrate with other services like Google Docs, Google Assistant, Google Calendar, etc."
"Having a native Outlook map integration would make Kerio Connect better."
"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"
"An area for improvement would be the convenience of working with Azure services from Exchange on-premise installations."
"Microsoft Exchange could improve the archiving of emails and the performance."
"The calendar integration in Exchange is not that great. The email features are okay, but it doesn't integrate well with the calendar and appointments, especially Zoom appointments. It integrates fine with Microsoft Teams, but Zoom is a challenge."
"An improvement would be to combine Exchange and Teams so that emails, calls, and chats can be integrated into one window."
"Microsoft Exchange could improve security. They can elevate a lot of security features."
"In terms of Microsoft Exchange, I think maybe what can be done is to make it more user-friendly."
"The default storage capacity is too small."
"Exchange took time to be deployed. It requires extensive configuration and setting up servers and managing internal network access."
