We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros
"The product is used very extensively in my company since we have around 1,500 users using it. Also, there is no requirement for any administrators to manage the product by the people who own the solution.""IceWarp has multiple applications that are easy to use for many people.""The solution has a very good log-in to the UI when compared to other solutions.""The solution's voice services work well for our company.""It has great communication capabilities for team chatting and web conferences.""It's scalable and stable.""The groupware module is the most valuable feature.""The most valuable feature of IceWarp is the chat rooms and file-sharing, they are useful.

"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 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.""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.""The user interface is good."

Cons
"It's a little bit more expensive than the others.""The user mailbox management is poor."

More Barracuda Message Archiver Cons →

"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.""Although the documentation is extensive and in depth, you must familiarize yourself with it before taking full advantage of the product.""Support should be improved. Most of the time, the queries are not resolved within the SLA.""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.""With multiple databases for VOIP, chat and web IMAP, maintenance is cumbersome.""Our customers sometimes have problems receiving mail."

More IceWarp Cons →

"It could be simpler to use and install, but I still wouldn't use it because there isn't a compelling use case.""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.""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.""Having a native Outlook map integration would make Kerio Connect better.""The search and archiving documentation capabilities need to be stronger."
