Cons
"Although it is not a tool, video conferencing should be scalable and operate in a professional and efficient way.""Support should be improved. Most of the time, the queries are not resolved within the SLA.""With multiple databases for VOIP, chat and web IMAP, maintenance is cumbersome.""Our customers sometimes have problems receiving mail.""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.""The exchange compatibility mode is rather limited. Their technical support can also be better. They only provide online support, and there should be some option for escalating.""It is difficult to disable user rights on the console so some users accidentally delete their documents or user details.""I would like to have a trial for mobile applications and more documentation similar to Google Drive with mobile applications."

More IceWarp Cons →

More SonicWall Email Security Cons →

"Reporting could have more options for users to customize desired results.""There aren't enough advanced settings. They should offer more advanced options.""There are a few issues with integration that need to be addressed; this would help make deployment easier for new users.""In the advanced version, you have DLP, Data Loss Prevention, but when you buy the standard version, you don't have it.""More things need to be integrated into this device, like DLP, so we can have a complete solution in one box.""The reporting functionality is in major need of improvement.""In the next release of this solution, I would like to see more user awareness, such as information about phishing email attacks that have been prevented."
