Pros Well, I believe that the most likable thing about this software it's the economic side, you can manage your mail like any other but in a cheaper way. Cons You can miss some features that have other mailing services, you get used to, but it's not that smooth.

August 9, 2019 5.0 In short, Zimbra is a perfect tool to stay connected and can be used in a firm where you need to send and receive information. It is fast and you can send email to multiple contacts. Zimbra customer service is also very good. Pros Fast and reliable. Multiple options like attachments, font and color change.

Director, Customer Success Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A replacement for GSuite or MS Exchange for SMBs" February 29, 2020 3.0 It does its job for us - provides us the corporate email & calendar while working on our servers. Otherwise, if you don't bother about privacy, you may consider GSuite instead. Pros \- Full set of features required from a collaboration tool - Email, Calendar, Contact management - Integration with Apple devices (Apple Mail, Calendars) Cons \- Poor web experience with Email - it screws up pasting images in the body of the email message - Sometimes calendar sends events from the past repeatedly (and yes, sends notifications whether you accepted that meeting one year ago once again) Review Source Rafael B. Jefe del departamento de Oceanografia Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Personally, I prefer Microsoft Exchange email, especially for the download of attachments." February 13, 2018 4.0 It really has not brought me many benefits since they imposed it on me as an email at work. I much preferred the presentation and management that the hotmail had a few years ago. Pros The general presentation menu is quite friendly to the eye., as well as its versatility to be used in cell phones. Cons The tricky process associated with downloading attachments compared to emails such as gmail or firefox.

Review Source JS Justin S. DevOps Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Perhaps the worst productivity suite I've ever used" April 6, 2021 1.0 You can do better than Zimbra. Whether Google or Microsoft, go with a company that delivers a top-notch productivity experience and doesn't have any of the quality or customer support problems that Zimbra has. Pros When it worked, Zimbra provided our users with a decent experience that wasn't completely replicated once we switched away from it. There were certain features, like built-in RSS reader support, that other platforms don't have. Cons Zimbra has changed hands quite a bit over the years, and it isn't difficult to see why. Its quality control is abominable, for one. I lost track of the number of times our Zimbra environment went offline because of some obscure bug. Zimbra's documentation tends to be scattered, and when you do find it, you'll see that Zimbra makes its own little versions of every open source product it uses. Its customer service generally doesn't know what it's doing except for one guy, Rick, that I occasionally spoke with. Review Source John M. ICT Management Trainee Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "An effective communication tool" March 19, 2019 4.0 Pros Zimbra is an effective emailing tool which is customization depending on the needs of an organization. It is easy to use and support several languages making it vital for organizations that operate in different countries. Its versatility enables it to work in diverse environments. Cons For big organizations, it is difficult to configure and set-up. It also requires an active support team for managing user issues such as passwords. Review Source Yasaru D.

We have entire control of this. managing and using zimbra is such a good experience to do both user and admin roll. Pros 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. Cons spam messages we got and handling those messages , security level. Review Source AA Arnaud A. CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Working like a Pro with Zimbra Collaboration Suite" June 14, 2022 5.0 Pros With Zimbra Collaboration Suite you can share your calendars with your colleagues. Cons Zimbra Collaboration Suite takes a lot of resources on the server, so it requires a recent server. Alternatives considered [Microsoft Exchange](https://www.capterra.com/p/248250/Microsoft-Exchange/) Reason for choosing Zimbra Collaboration Suite Zimbra Collaboration Suite runs on Linux, so we have full control of the environment Review Source Ronny Leal - D.

In addition, it can be used to share documents online. It is also recommended to synchronize and store all the information of our work through its own cloud, Zimbra Drive. Pros Zimbra is an open source software that only needs a server within GNU or Linux to fully deploy. Version 8.8.15 of ximbra collaboration is much broader in terms of mobility for calendars and events in general. Cons The zimbra suite does not have many key functions for working with document editions directly in real time, or for the execution of discussion forums among our team employees. Nor does it include a labeling system through social media. Review Source AG Anton G. IT Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for small orgs that can't justify the cost of paid email suites" August 28, 2019 5.0 Pros 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.

Webmail client app is very complete for our users and customers.

It can sync your personal calendar in your cell phone and keep you updated about your meetings, Task list, and reminders. You can filter e-mails by folders, and there is also a downloadable local version in case you need to work off-line. Cons It does not have a wide variety of themes. Review Source HC Helen C. Associate Application Consultant Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good for daily use" June 24, 2020 4.0 I am happy with the service, and would like to continue purchasing this service. Pros I enjoy the most is the filing style in Outlook is kept in Zimbra. I am an Outlook user, and I have several folders for storing the emails with project name filters. These filing ways are saved, and can be seen in Zimbra the website. Cons If the auto-filing options are available for the online services, that will help me out a lot. Currently, if I use the online services for a long period of time, the auto-filing option will be disabled. Review Source GG Gilberto G.

ICT security consultant Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use and full of features" November 2, 2018 5.0 I used Zimbra in my previous company and I liked the suite very much because it offered almost anything you'd need from an on-premise mail server. It also had some extra features like its own cloud support to share documents and files amongst users. The paid version also came with the connector for Outlook allowing users keep using their standard mail client application. I never had any issue to configure my email account on my mobile phones either through the MS Exchange protocol compatibility. It also comes with a rich web interface. Now it should also integrate a chat/conference and a document collaboration features but they were not available yet when I was using Zimbra so I can't tell anything about them. Pros Easy for the users It has its own cloud-like file sharing feature It works on almost any kind of device through standalone clients or rich web client.

September 12, 2019 4.0 I have enjoyed using Zimbra, it took a little bit to get used to the format, but overall it's great! Pros 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. Cons 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. Reason for choosing Zimbra Collaboration Suite The franchise goes through a lengthy process of deciding which software to offer franchisees.
