My company hosts the enterprise edition. We tried it for ourselves. We liked it so much we started hosting it. Most of our clients seem to really dig the features. Several have replaced Exchange completely and report satisfaction. It is well worth getting a demo account from someone and kicking the tires to see if it suits your needs. For us it runs efficiently and smoothly. There are some valuable features that ar missing. None of them showstoppers in my opinion. And they are adding features fast.
So... for what it is worth coming from a/. n00b and someone who's company profits from the software in question, I give the Zimbra Collaboration Suite a very sincere thumbs up.
Wow... Anonymous... not only are you a bit tetchy, you are also wrong.
Yes, I have had experience with their tools and their migration, and their support, and implementing a large multi-domain set up using the platform. I work for an organization that hosts the Zimbra platform for a wide variety, and large number of end-users. (Note, we do not use the Open Source version, but the only differences I see are additional features - the core is the same.) It has been surprisingly simple and stable, and mostly error free. Sure - there have been hang-ups and glitches, but the experience has been more notable for the absence of issues. They are also rapidly developing improvements and new features, and by and large their support is remarkably responsive.
Any readers who get to this comment... ignore the Coward. He clearly had a bad experience. Maybe it was before the platform matured to its current level. Or maybe he lacked the persistence to work through it.
