"The solution has a very good log-in to the UI when compared to other solutions."
"Its price is the most valuable. It is definitely one of the lowest price solutions."

"The spam filtering is a little too aggressive. You can not get granular enough to back off on what is considered spam and what is not."
"Barracuda should have a sandbox feature in the appliances."
"The UI could be a little cleaner and require less clicking around in different modules. They give the illusion of a single pane of glass, but as you click around to different products, you're actually being transferred into a different system."
"There are limited administration controls that should be improved."
"With multiple databases for VOIP, chat and web IMAP, maintenance is cumbersome."
"It is difficult to disable user rights on the console so some users accidentally delete their documents or user details."

"Although it is not a tool, video conferencing should be scalable and operate in a professional and efficient way."
"The tool's configuration capabilities are not straightforward. Apart from that, if I want to archive emails into a vault so that they can be retrieved again later, the integration doesn't work, and IceWarp crashes."
"I would like to have a trial for mobile applications and more documentation similar to Google Drive with mobile applications."
"The solution should improve the mailing list feature. Google has a similar feature where you can automate sending files to different people in a sequence, but that feature is no longer available in the current version of IceWarp. Other features may also have been removed in the current version."
"Support should be improved. Most of the time, the queries are not resolved within the SLA."
