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.""With multiple databases for VOIP, chat and web IMAP, maintenance is cumbersome.""Although the documentation is extensive and in depth, you must familiarize yourself with it before taking full advantage of the product.""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.""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 →

"Reporting could have more options for users to customize desired results.""In the advanced version, you have DLP, Data Loss Prevention, but when you buy the standard version, you don't have it.""There aren't enough advanced settings. They should offer more advanced options.""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.""There are a few issues with integration that need to be addressed; this would help make deployment easier for new users.""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."
