Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The user interface is good.""The most valuable features are its ease of use, excellent pricing, and it is platform agnostic.""It's relatively simple to use.""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.""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.""We have contacted technical support a handful of times and received some assistance."

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