 good info
Good info - thanks very much! I really like some of the functionality I am seeing this but I think the open source edition needs that functionality for me to push it.
Of course, I should be pushing the paid versions but I think the cost is far too high relative to Exchange for my little customers (typically under 35 seats) for me to ever be able to push Network Edition over Exchange. In my markets this product would need to be significantly less expensive than Exchange for me to be able to market it; there is just too much * perceived * risk of incompatibilities / problems relative to the known quantity of Exchange in order for this pricing to work relative to Microsoft. Especially considering that customers can get Exchange from an ISP like Comcast (for example) for much, much less per seat than this. I think the pricing is totally unrealistic for Network edition, but that's just my 2 cents.
Still, I will keep testing and hoping these connectors get written for Open Source or that Zimbra makes a small business edition with competitive pricing at some point. But kudos for a very attractive open source product with some nice, innovative features.  |
