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."
"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."
"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."
"We have contacted technical support a handful of times and received some assistance."
"The most valuable features are its ease of use, excellent pricing, and it is platform agnostic."
"The most valuable features are security and privacy because you installed it on your server, within your company premises, not in the cloud."
"The most valuable feature of Zimbra for our team's productivity is its efficiency in handling email communication."
"Zimbra Collaboration's best feature is its compatibility with Microsoft's ActiveSync protocol, which allows users to use Outlook on Windows or MacOS."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"Good email solution and it's open-source."
"The logs, troubleshooting, and tracking we have found to be the most valuable features. We have any issues with lost messages the features are useful. It is very easy to track and log."
"The most valuable feature of Zimbra Collaboration is email functionality."
"The stability is good and keeps getting better with each new update."
"Network NG Modules are valuable to us."
"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."
"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."
"The search and archiving documentation capabilities need to be stronger."
"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"
"I would like to see better support from their support team."
"In the next release, Zimbra Collaboration should include a security feature to allow access for mobile device administrators."
"The solution could improve by making it easier to use."
"It would be great if a group chat feature were created to allow for a team environment."
"Zimbra Collaboration's video conferencing could be improved."
"It is good and competent, but you have to pay for video and group chat features."
"The installation is not straightforward, it can take two days for the full implementation."
"I would like to see a Microsoft schedule function added."
"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."
