Zimbra Collaboration Suite Erfahrungen

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

1. Open Source - Easy to Configure, Less capital needed, less memory Consuming and Secure
2. simplicity - the user interface is very friendly no need to introduce people on how to use it.
3. Functionality - availability of important basic functions like Calendar, Document Storage and mail backup is already there and is very easy to use .
4. ease - can be configured according to business requirements and use
5. Stability

Nachteile

1. Can Include many functionalities and add ons.
2. Hard to configure shared mailboxes and DL's
3. Cannot handle huge data and less storage space
4. GUI can be much improved

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

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

Zimbra is our email manager. Our team uses it daily to send and receive emails, it is a very productive solution for internal and external communication. What I like the best about Zimbra are its splendid storage volume and the mobile version. Our colleague has access to emails even when they are traveling or away from the office.
Also, it is easy to manage for us and supports all the major platforms. Zimbra is fast and convenient.

Nachteile

The Mobile Version of Zimbra can really use an upgrade, we can only send messages and cannot attach files. I'm hoping Zimbra would upgrade their phone app very soon.

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

I met Zimbra when in one of my jobs they demanded the use of free software, which I thought was wonderful, I could not participate in the configuration of the service, however my support colleagues did it without knowing anything about the tool, following the manuals and the broad community that it has; the installation was a success, the next step was to provide users with their mail and a brief explanation of its use, but it really was not necessary since the tool was so intuitive that there was not someone who could not use it, we were all delighted with that we could access our mail from any device with Internet access, be able to schedule calendars and meetings, share email folders with other people, synchronize with any email client.

Nachteile

Few disadvantages you can have of a product like this, perhaps for those who managed the service could be somewhat complicated at the beginning, but not impossible to manage, since there was no interruption of the service at any time.

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

Easy to organize things. I like the way you can tag and create a note for yourself

Nachteile

Sometimes it lags, maybe because I use browser based rather than the dextop app

Vorteile

Documents can be shared instantly.
We can use Zimbra desktops to obtain Zimbra experience. Sync your Google, Yahoo!, and Outlook calendars.
Zimbra is a BSP hosting partner because of its flexible deployment and virtualization readiness. Vmware Vsphere and KVM hypervisors are also fully supported.
In addition, unlike other email companies, Zimbra's technology never locks me out.

Nachteile

- Setting up the setup server is a little tricky for system administrators; it necessitates linux administrator knowledge.

- When one service fails, it can affect others, particularly LDAP services.

Vorteile

It is an innovative email messaging and collaboration suite. The powerful Zimbra web client integrates email, contacts, shared calendar. Another of Zimbra's functionality is connectivity with proprietary clients such as Microsoft Outlook. It is the free software solution

Nachteile

It has a unique password that compromises all services. If the directory server falls, we can not access the services

Vorteile

The Zimbra platform integrates open source apps in a very stable email application, Administration web gui is very complete and easy to use. Webmail client app is very complete for our users and customers.

Nachteile

Being a ver nice email application, at least the Network edition must be more compatible with platforms like MAC OS, this would be the point that make Zimbra to win users.

Vorteile

It's cost-effective, secure and helps to avoid spam. Easy back and restore facility. Helps create calenders

Nachteile

Zimbra has no function to recall emails sent accidentally.

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

It's nice to have the entire company on the same (non-google) calendar and email.

Nachteile

The server-side email filters aren't robust enough and setting them up is not very user friendly.

Vorteile

I like the implementation of various tools in Zimbra - I use mail, chat, calendar and briefcase in my everyday work.

Nachteile

Sometimes there are some glitches in Zimbra, but in most cases clearing cache and restarting browser helps to solve them.

Vorteile

Cannot imagine daily routine without Zimbra. I using Zimbra for many years and I'm totally thankful for this toolkit.

Nachteile

I dont think there are any disadvantages for me using Zimbra.

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

The interface is beatiful, and intuitive as well. Since I can organise my new arriven messages, I feel good.

Nachteile

The zimlet for PGP could be improved. I can have only up to 10 public keys recorded. This is fairly few.

Vorteile

So, our company actually uses both Zimbra and Outlook. When it comes to Zimbra, I don't really have any complaints. It is easy to use. They have a chat feature that we recently started using within our company, and we are able to also store documents such as PTO policies and other important company documents.

Nachteile

Although I don't have any major complaints necessarily about Zimbra, I will say it almost seems "old" to me. Like we are using an old fashioned software. There aren't too many features within Zimbra, either, as compared to competitors such as Outlook.

Vorteile

Responsive support. Nice interface. It’s also very easy to administer many users. Easy to make group and user aliases.

Nachteile

Interface is nice but dated. Not much UI customization other than a few colors. You can get many email bounce backs and your emails can end up in client’s junk mail because the server isn’t really trusted by other email servers like the big guys such as Microsoft and Google.

Vorteile

I love the ease of use of zimbra. Flawless and functional.

Nachteile

I wish there was a mobile app so that I can check my work emails on the go.

Vorteile

In the company we all remember Zimbra. It left us with a really good impression. It had nice features that other "better" ones don't have like batch mail forwarding or delayed email sending. I would use it again.

Nachteile

Unfortunatelly, it did not integrate well enough with our mobile devices (cellphones and tablets). We also faced a couple of database corruptions so we decided to think about going cloud version but....it was more expensive than GSuite or Office 365 so... we stopped using it.

Vorteile

You get all the collaboration features through any web browser, no need to install plugins or clients, available everywhere you need it even with low speed connections

Nachteile

Calendar and tasks need and additional software to sync on android phones, it would be great to have a zimbra product for that function
