Additional Details
Licensing is based on the number of active mailboxes Exclaimer adds email signatures to. Subscriptions are on a monthly or annual basis. Volume and charitable discounts are available. Minimum number of users is 10 per month.
Exclaimer is highly beneficial for larger companies that have a range of business units and requirements around the look and feel of signatures. Smaller organisations are unlikely to need the same degree of customisation, so the requirement is diminished. Particularly as there is something of a cost premium and another platform to manage.

Zimbra is great for an email system for a medium or large organization with appropriate IT staffing. The system is easy to use for end-users, and has a fantastic web interface. Unfortunately, it is overly complex, when considering staffing requirements and price, when compared with Office 365 or Google Apps for smaller organizations. For other education customers, it is hard to compete with Microsoft and Google providing their services for "Free" now though

Zimbra's mobile application leaves much to be desired; it is its weakest point.
This forces the use of third-party applications on smartphones, which only offer a more or less complete integration with the ActiveSync protocol.
Zimbra allows for an on-premise scenario, which is not for everyone, especially considering that the trend nowadays is to outsource email; in any case, it also offers this alternative.
The cost of Zimbra as a SaaS solution comes too close to that of more widely adopted competing options.
Zimbra lacks a robust integrated chat system, which its competitors offer.

We are very happy with exclaimer it runs 99.9% of the time without any issues. It also very easy to use and maintain and the design team are happy to use it as its so user friendly. When compared to how much time we used to spend updating banners exclaimer saves us hours. This more than justifies the cost and when it comes to renew we wont be thinking twice about doing so

In the order that I recall the setup process: Signature templates need to be set up (attribute mapping to AD) Office 365 connector needs to be set up (global admin needed and exclaimer engineer for guidance) Signature policies need to be set up (who gets which signatures) Office membership groups need to be setup (who in the org will use exclaimer) Members need to be added to those groups (user membership) Agents need to be deployed on the end-user hosts (local agent)

The web usability of the solution is adequate, with all functions integrated into a single interface. However, it is important to note that in the desktop environment, it lacks its own application and relies on ActiveSync synchronization with reference solutions like Outlook or Thunderbird. Some features, such as the briefcase, will be excluded. The same happens on smartphones.It is also common for competing solutions to include integrated chat or video call tools, which Zimbra lacks. These shortcomings are among the most frequently requested by users.

I've only had one issue in 7 years where I needed to reach out to Exclaimer for support, but it was handled quickly and resolved my issue. No messing around to provide additional information. Just a quick solution to what I was facing which resolved the issue on the first go around.

Our implementation was relatively easy as we weren't cutting over from anything. We just got the software installed, set up the file share and got active directory set up. We got exsync on a scheduled task and it just worked. We built our templates and policies and it has always been relatively smooth.

Overall, we were satisfied with the implementation. We perhaps should have spent more time consulting with Zimbra or others regarding best practices but as we got to know the system better we were able to make changes relatively easily after the fact.

Exclaimer blows the doors off compared to Letsignit. Exclaimer is a little more expensive, but you get what you pay for. What you get is a much better user interface, real analytics instead of one crappy report you have to manually sort, and a much more robust campaign area. With Letsignit I was constantly getting messages that they were experiencing one problem or another, leading to service outages that impacted our users. Gotta love it when the CEO calls because he can't find his email signature. I've had no service interruptions with Exclaim and no email "excuses." That's the sort of thing that makes you lose confidence in a supplier quickly. Oh, and no communication/bills in French. I lived near the Canadian border, I get it, but you have customer databases, communicate appropriately.

Zimbra is a significantly cheaper option than one of the Microsoft solutions, such as Exchange. It is able to run in a free environment, as it is in the case of Linux. It offers the advantages of a powerful mail manager, such as indexed searches and the integration of contacts and notes, all in one platform. It is constantly updated and the operation of its connection in mobile equipment is remarkable and very efficient. Additionally, it is able to easily integrate with Outlook solutions with its connector, which brings all the benefits of Zimbra to the user under the interface known as "mail manager." So far, I have been using Zimbra for several years and I have not missed my previous work platforms.

We used the Design Template service; this was a very pleasant experience and the design team we in constant communication with us to ensure the templates were designed exactly to our remit.

Zimbra is a cheaper email service than other similar platforms and in my point of view offers better features, that's why the company migrated services to this platform several years ago and without a doubt, it has been the best investment.
Zimbra has a more user-friendly interface for employees, this has improved response times to external customers of the company.
The implementation of Zimbra in the company motivated the IT engineering department to make improvements in open source to adapt it to the needs of the company.
