Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The groupware module is the most valuable feature.""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.""An effective, functional, very good tool for controlling resources.""The most valuable feature of IceWarp is the chat rooms and file-sharing, they are useful. It is convenient that everything is in one place. You can easily share and collaborate documents, making the program's unity a significant advantage.""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.""Its price is the most valuable. It is definitely one of the lowest price solutions."

"The user interface is good.""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 most valuable features are security and privacy because you installed it on your server, within your company premises, not in the cloud.""It's relatively simple to use.""We have contacted technical support a handful of times and received some assistance.""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 most valuable features are its ease of use, excellent pricing, and it is platform agnostic."

Cons
"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.""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.""With multiple databases for VOIP, chat and web IMAP, maintenance is cumbersome.""Our customers sometimes have problems receiving mail.""Although it is not a tool, video conferencing should be scalable and operate in a professional and efficient way.""It is difficult to disable user rights on the console so some users accidentally delete their documents or user details."

More IceWarp Cons →

"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.""You cannot integrate with other services like Google Docs, Google Assistant, Google Calendar, etc.""I would like to see better support from their support team.""It could be simpler to use and install, but I still wouldn't use it because there isn't a compelling use case.""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""Having a native Outlook map integration would make Kerio Connect better."
