I need the communities Help in proving that Zimbra is better than Exchange

[drdre]

Good day all,

For the last year or more we have been using Zimbra Foss at my office and only a week or 2 ago we moved the the NE trial version. Now we dont use Zimbra to the fulliest yet and my manager is bitching like a 5 F$%^k year old about how Zimbra NE doesnt support Outlook Journal nor does it do Task request.

Our IT consultant (who knoew VERY VERY VERY VERY little about linux, zimbra and anything opensource) has been pushing for us to move over to Exchange 2008 (which is built into small business 2008 which we own).. and even thou i pointed some of the draw backs to this, they have managed to convince the CEO (This guy makes the 4 year old for the microsoft I am a PC ad look like Albert Einstein) of the company that Zimbra is trash and we should use Exchange.

Now i have illustrated a few facts to them that i have gotten from the Zimbra website.. but is there anything out there that i can show them that proves that MS Exchange is a pile of shit that would stain your cloths ?

Perhaps if you gave some details about what hardware you have (including how many users) and what you're trying to achieve with your mail server then we might be able to give you some feedback.

BTW, as you're an NE trial user you could always ask your sales contact for some tips - I'm sure they'd be glad to help.
