Zimbra Collaboration Suite Erfahrungen

Vorteile

1. Specially the optimized nature of it to work on limited or lower network connectivity like VPN,

2. Cost effective and Opensource nature.

Nachteile

User Interface was laggy sometimes. It has sort of older look and feel compared to other open source email collaboration products.

Sometimes it was not able to filter junk mails effectively compared microsoft exchange service.

Vorteile

To my mind, it is great that Zimbra gives an opportunity to share a calendar among colleagues and customers. It helps us to share all important data and meetings at any time. Another plus is a simple and user-friendly design. It is perfect both for qualified users and people who use it for the first time. And of course, emailing itself is on the top-level. It is easy to customize and make the necessary changes. Zimbra is an open source software with an opportunity to send emails, keep contacts, and make notes in the calendar. This service is perfect for remote work because I can keep an eye on everything and be sure, that everyone knows what they need to do.

Nachteile

I am convinced that Zimbra has more advantages than disadvantages. However, there are some issues to fix. Firstly, filters are hard to use and understand, because they aren’t flexible at all. Secondly, the software itself is quite hard to operate. Despite all pluses, the service still demands some basic IT skills. Thirdly, there might be some problems with data export and back up, because the software depends on servers.

Vorteile

Its scale-able, robust, secure and low cost. Based on Postfix and other opensource packages it provides good emailing solution. All the included packages are thoroughly tested before included in release. With most of the world going to cloud for email for the organizations need low cost yet secure and scale-able on premise mailing solution Zimbra is a good option. It has very good Web base UI which is very easy to use. There is no performance issues. Visibility with logs is very good . Zimlets are very cool features you can add on

Nachteile

The support is a bit so so maybe because of change of so many owners of the company. The web ui can use skin option to make it look and feel like different email platform in the market, e.g. if someone is use to outlook or gmail ui then a them/skin could provide that

Vorteile

The biggest advantage offered by Zimbra Collaboration Suite is the ability to communicate with other users by integrating various tools such as email, contact book, task planning and calendar in a single software and with a very simple interface.

Nachteile

Although Zimbra Collaboration Suite is a great software, sometimes it presents operating problems that are resolved by closing and opening the browser from where you work. Another aspect to improve is the design of the interface from the aesthetic point of view. It's simple but unattractive to look at.

Vorteile

* I agree with the following points:
1- The general presentation menu is quite friendly to the eye., as well as its versatility to be used in cell phones.
2- I like the easy installation and the web administrative console which can be used for many admin tasks. The Desktop app is great and easy to use.

Nachteile

* I agree with the following points:
1- Sometimes there are some glitches in Zimbra, but in most cases clearing cache and restarting browser helps to solve them.
2- Hard to customize the installation, lost data when I needed to migrate to another server. The API uses XML-RPC which is not easy to use, JSON is a lot easier.

Vorteile

It is an economic software and very comfortable to work with. It is an easily accessible platform capable of integrating the most demanded requirements in an institution such as: mail, contacts, shared calendar and online documents. It is quite practical.

Nachteile

It is not the best option to integrate to mobile devices. I think it has several limitations when it comes to entering the Zimbra from a smart phone when compared to running on a desktop computer.

Vorteile

It has a very intuitive interface that makes this software an easy tool to use. In the same way its installation is very simple. Account with contacts, chat and tasks in addition to their email service. It is available for several platforms. It is accessible in terms of price

Nachteile

One aspect to improve is the interface design. I think it's somewhat antiquated if we compare it with other software of this type in the market.

Vorteile

It has been very adaptable to the needs of my company because it is open source

It has been widely accepted by end users due to the application of web standards, which gives the user more reliability in the system.

The administration interface has been very simple and functional when creating users, groups and requirements

Nachteile

The information filtering tools and emails have many details that have to be improved.

The modules for the users themselves to change the password of their account have some problems.

Vorteile

The email function was very easy to use, and it was simple to indicate when an email was high priority.

Nachteile

The date transfer abilities was awful. Files took ages to upload, and the account had a very limited quota which meant that you couldn't use it to store documents.

Vorteile

I love the security Zimbra offers while still having the same look and feel of other familiar email clients. My team and I use Zimbra for email and scheduling meetings. It is very easy to use and an easy switch for any team looking for a more private solution to large teams wanting to collaborate via email. The themes are also a very nice feature (I use Carbon).

Nachteile

I can't think of any cons. It is a very simple email and calendar management system.

Vorteile

Great for small orgs that can't justify the cost of paid email suites but want the features that they may have become used to with Exchange/Outlook. The web app is pretty damned good, and the Zimbra Desktop app for Windows/Mac/etc is serviceable if you need to manage multiple accounts.

Nachteile

Requirement for extra apps on Android for CalDAV/CardDAV support as ActiveSync is only available in the paid (Network Edition).

Vorteile

This software is great for email and overall collaboration. It is easy to use and has helpful features. This is a great tool to keep up with our teams and makes collaboration a breeze.

Nachteile

I would like some more flexibility in the customization of the email. It is straight forward and simple but I would like to be able to customize a bit more.

Vorteile

The desktop app was not bad, it did have some limitations. Syncing always seemed to take a while. It visually functions similar to outlook.

Nachteile

The add-ons and features were tricky to use. At the time, it did not have a mobile platform. The web version was clunky.

Vorteile

- searching is great (as I remember it can search even inside archives)
- good localization
- intuitive UI/UX

Nachteile

- complicated backup flow
- lack of mails management rules
- lack of features in the mobile version

Vorteile

We have been using Zimbra for over 8 years and have been very happy with it . Good functionality for the price.

Nachteile

Our current version does not allow individual users to add/change distribution lists. This function has to be performed by the admin.

Vorteile

Fast webmail, email functionality works great, Clean interface and easy to use. Also has the calendar and portfolio features which is great addons.

Nachteile

Search function in email can be a bit limited.

Vorteile

I like that the entire Fyzical franchise emails pop up when I want to compose a new email. It is helpful to know how is available.

Nachteile

The read messages do not drop down to low priority, so if I leave one unread so I can come back to it. The message gets buried in the inbox.

Vorteile

In back end, It has many functional options like configuring email for an organization with such simple steps. As a user we have bulk messages options and variety of using this makes good value what we expected.

Nachteile

spam messages we got and handling those messages , security level.

Vorteile

Very good option for an institutional corporate email since it offers the basic functions for the management of work

Nachteile

It is very limited in certain options that have large email servers even in the capacity of shipments

Vorteile

The highlight of the zimbra email service is the ease of using other mailboxes next to your main email.

Nachteile

Security in calendar sharing and distribution list.

Vorteile

I like that the layout can give me a full range of scheduling cababilities. It helps to be able to have different days laid out on the sheet for one person and that I can go back and forth. The layout makes sense for keeping people organized and aware of what is happening next on their calendar. I also like that I can easily flow between one person's agenda and the next rather than having everyone's schedule on one calendar and having color coordination. I think Zimbra is much simpler in that way.

Nachteile

I can't say that there's anything I dislike about it so far. It has been easy to use for our purposes.

Vorteile

1. Email manager, easy use and configuration, which allows to connect with different operating systems.
2. You can check your emails from anywhere, you can also synchronize your online account with a microsoft application like outlook and android mail.
3. It is not necessary to install applications since you can see it online through a webmail.
4. The last update of zimbra has a chat, so that users created by the company, who has it installed, can communicate.

Nachteile

It is not completely compatible with some mail clients, which does not allow the configuration of the mail.

Vorteile

Email setup is a synch and it has many customization abilities overall that really help. Contacts are made easy to access. I also like the ability to calendar share.

Nachteile

I wish I could share documents straight from the briefcase tool. That would be helpful!
