"The user interface is good."
"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."
"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."
"We use the solution as a mail server. It connects with Outlook and is used for calendaring and similar tasks."
"It's relatively simple to use."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Exchange Online is it helps the IT department with problems."
"Microsoft Exchange Online is easy to use. You have a common storage where people can store documents. It also helps with version control."
"The initial setup is straightforward and is definitely easy."
"It helps us manage the email focus from our side."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud environment."
"The features of Microsoft Exchange Online are very intuitive and well-built, keeping the user experience in mind. The usability and the accessibility are the best aspects of this solution."
"The best thing about Microsoft Exchange Online is that it's integrated with the Outlook application."
"The solution has been stable with good performance on offer."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"You cannot integrate with other services like Google Docs, Google Assistant, Google Calendar, etc."
"In the next release, I would like to see more features added to the security of the solution."
"I don't like it in general. It sort of has that Microsoft flavor to it, which is just the style they use and the way they color things and lay them out."
"Microsoft Exchange Online can improve message delivery. There are times we receive a message that the email failed to be delivered, and there is no reason given. We sometimes have emails that are flagged as spam that are not. We cannot do anything about it because it's not managed by us, it's managed by Microsoft."
"The support could improve their response time and sometimes the phone lines are not clear because of static or noise. However, the agents are knowledgeable and very helpful."
"Microsoft Exchange Online should have a faster search feature."
"Exchange Online has issues with its mail flow and content search."
"The demo version we were provided had issues with emails bouncing or being delayed."
"The integration could be better if it could integrate well with other products and software."
