When we looked at it as an option about 6 months ago, I think it came out
to be between $20k and $25k for appx 100 users.

Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Exchange Killers - by zdnet.co.uk - includes
review of ICS


I think that the review pretty much confirms what most of us on this list
have known all along. Basically, the best part of the Ipswitch collaboration
"suite" is Imail. The rest is just a bunch of separate components thrown
together, without much forethought to anything resembling integration.
Obviously, marketing, pricing and demographics were of much more concern
than functionality to Ipswitch when it decided to kill Imail. Too bad. At
least they are giving us enough time to migrate to another platform before
shutting off development completely.

Speaking of which, I found it a bit odd that the review did not include
anything remotely resembling a non-Windows solution. It would be nice if
they did a review of the new Novell/SuSe mail server, which also adds shared
calendaring and other Exchange/Outlook compatible features. For that matter,
why didn't they do a direct comparison against Exchange itself? It would
have been interesting to see how these other mail servers (especially
Ipswitch's) stood up to exchange head-to-head on a per seat price basis.
I've never seriously even considered using Exchange myself, so have no clue
as to pricing.
