"It's relatively simple to use."
"The most valuable features are security and privacy because you installed it on your server, within your company premises, not in the cloud."
"The user interface is good."
"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."
"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 is a product that is simple to manage, and easy to use."
"This solution handles all of our primary functionality including email, message delivery, message archiving and calendars."
"The initial setup was straightforward and fast."
"We have found it to be a stable solution. It is scalable and easy to install."
"The backup and archiving features are valuable, it is user friendly too."
"Now, we manage to serve almost 99% of the information."
"The functionality on the user side is quite good. Exchange provides an excellent platform for collaboration between users."
"It is a very stable tool...It is a very scalable tool."
"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."
"Having a native Outlook map integration would make Kerio Connect better."
"The search and archiving documentation capabilities need to be stronger."
"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."
"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"
"In the version we have, I would like to see better communication between the end device and the Exchange server."
"One thing for improvement would be to have an offline version of Exchange available for use if our connection goes down."
"They could continue to improve the consolidation and integration of mailbox services to make them more flexible, easier to deploy, and more manageable."
"Microsoft Exchange's customer support could be faster and more knowledgeable."
"From a security perspective, Microsft Exchange can be improved. All that needs to be added is security, but that's an internal hierarchical problem from the product itself and not the end-users."
"It's not always the finest solution in terms of integration with products that are not from Microsoft. It integrates very well with Microsoft products but not with third-party products."
"It doesn't work very well on a virtual machine. We had to move it around. There are also issues when you try to move it between computers."
"We would prefer to be able to manage the solution on the cloud."
