We are currently using the Zimbra email service throughout the company. Zimbra allows us to efficiently manage our email server with a number of open source technologies, with built-in anti-spam, shared calendars and shared address books. We are able to easily collaborate, invite to meetings, and conference at the touch of a button. It stores all of our contacts and shows us who is busy and when we can seamlessly integrate new meetings and conferences. We have definitely achieved significant savings in the time required to manage IMAP, webmail, etc.
  • Zimbra offers advanced functionalities, beyond the IMAP protocol and better performance compared to similar mail services.
  • Zimbra offers the option to work from anywhere and device, with a very nice interface, from a desktop, mobile or tablet, compared to other similar services that are more complex to use.
  • Zimbra has the possibility of modifying the source code to customize its functions and services, an added value that other platforms do not have.
  • You can optimize the module to create and share content on the web to improve the publishing interface.
  • Zimbra must improve the management of user groups for different machines within a domain.
  • The password manager is sometimes complicated and requires the creation of new passwords.
One of the most outstanding capabilities of Zimbra is the low cost in the administration and implementation of the system. Zimbra creates a copy of the email and attachments per server, instead of an email per user. It supports anti-spam and existing infrastructures, has an efficient text comprehension system in emails, can review the content from any computer, at any time and with a web interface is very easy to operate.

  • 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.
We selected Zimbra because it has a lower cost in the market, offers more development features for its open source, has a very easy to use interface and adjusts to the needs of the company.
Yes
In the company we chose to replace Microsoft Exchange with Zimbra, since its platform is robust and offers the versatility of open source, on the other hand, our IT staff has worked on various changes of the source code to adjust the functioning of the mail server to our needs.
