"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.""It's relatively simple to use.""We have contacted technical support a handful of times and received some assistance.""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.""The user interface is good.""The most valuable features are its ease of use, excellent pricing, and it is platform agnostic."

Cons
"When you compare with Microsoft Exchange, the UI could be more user-friendly.""An area for improvement in HCL Domino is security. New enhancements in the IT industry mean that security should be improved. The HCL Domino GUI also needs improvement.""HCL Domino needs to be more user-friendly.""Its performance and integration could be better. It has capabilities for large deployment with several servers, but in the latest interface, running with different servers isn't supported.""HCL Domino could improve by having integration with other solutions, such as Microsoft 365.""The solution could improve Kubernetes or Dockers migration to new environments in the cloud.""From the Domino side, it should support DKIM and DMARC.""The client version of this solution could be faster and be made simpler for non-IT users. You will need to have some knowledge of Notes to correctly install this solution."

More HCL Domino Cons →

"The search and archiving documentation capabilities need to be stronger.""I would like to see better support from their support team.""Having a native Outlook map integration would make Kerio Connect better.""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""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."
