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."The most valuable features are security and privacy because you installed it on your server, within your company premises, not in the cloud."
"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."
"The user interface is good."
"The most valuable features are its ease of use, excellent pricing, and it is platform agnostic."
"It's relatively simple to use."
"We have contacted technical support a handful of times and received some assistance."
"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."
"Exchange has helped us with encryption."
"It is very well integrated with other Microsoft programs, teams, and so on. They work well together."
"I find Exchange's basic mail features to be highly valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Exchange is the collaboration tools."
"We've been using Exchange as an email platform. Our clients require multi-country, multi-regional email collaboration with controlled mail flow. The most valuable feature is the capability of message tracking and the protection of user data."
"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 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."
"Exchange is a robust system that is well suited for an enterprise environment. It's always up, and we hardly face any technical issues. Exchange has a web interface and integrates perfectly with Microsoft Outlook. This web interface can be easily used to change the passwords from the domain controllers."
"The search and archiving documentation capabilities need to be stronger."
"Having a native Outlook map integration would make Kerio Connect better."
"It could be simpler to use and install, but I still wouldn't use it because there isn't a compelling use case."
"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."
"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."
"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 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"
"Microsoft Exchange could improve by being more secure. We are always looking to have more security."
"Microsoft Exchange could improve the archiving of emails and the performance."
"The product or service could be improved in terms of Microsoft Outlook client compatibility."
"Microsoft Exchange's customer support could be faster and more knowledgeable."
"The platform could be more user-friendly."
"Microsoft Exchange could improve by adding artificial intelligence."
"I would like to see the search capability of the Outlook client improved"
"For new users, it might take them some time to get used to the product."
