Pros
"The solution offers great features."

More CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pros →

"One of the most valuable features involves the solution's automatic backup, which I find to be pretty simple and straightforward, and obviates the need for additional software.""Zimbra Collaboration is light to manage. It works on the Linux operating system, which is far better to manage than Microsoft Windows. Microsoft Exchange works only on the Windows server. We prefer working on the Linux server for security reasons and ease of management. Zimbra Collaboration also has some integrated tools for security. It some modules to fight malware. These modules are not very powerful but are still doing a great job. Microsoft Exchange doesn't have a basic module. You have to purchase a security solution and add it to the solution. The cost of Zimbra Collaboration is one more reason for liking it. It is also very simple to migrate from Zimbra Collaboration to another email solution.""The most valuable feature of Zimbra for our team's productivity is its efficiency in handling email communication.""Zimbra Collaboration's sharing features are most valuable.""The stability is good and keeps getting better with each new update.""Zimbra Collaboration has integrated a lot of their party tools and they have good documentation available.""The most valuable feature of Zimbra Collaboration is email functionality.""Network NG Modules are valuable to us."

Cons
"NVMe support is lacking when it comes to performance on the disk side."

More CodeTwo Exchange Rules Cons →

"The solution could use more integration with third-party tools.""We have had an issue with security.""The installation is not straightforward, it can take two days for the full implementation.""Zimbra should provide a desktop client. Right now, we are using a web browser for accessing our emails. There should also be a desktop client.""In the next release, Zimbra Collaboration should include a security feature to allow access for mobile device administrators.""File sharing permissions with Nextcloud integration need improvement.""I can confidently say that Zimbra is good enough for 2,000 client users. But, at the same time, if my client needs more than that and we have two options—Zimbra or Microsoft—I'm going with Microsoft because many admins will speak to Microsoft's ability to handle that many.""There are some security issues."
