that's what i have noticed. the price is heavy. the community edition is a viable option but i would like to keep the door open to opensource people who provide good maintenance options as i would like this to be at a minimal cost to my regular duties. i got a handful already.
plus i would like my higher ups to appreciate OSS more and invest more for it. they keep underestimating the quality and power of OSS. they still believe that it is more expensive to maintain mainstream FOSS services than the pricey proprietary ones. the M$ vendors insist that it will be more expensive to maintain FOSS in the long run than M$ which both makes me laugh ang gets into my nerve, especially for the client access licenses. imagine that for both the application side and for the database side. :) do you guys know of companies using the zimbra community edition? -junn- jan gestre wrote: > Both Zimbra and Scalix Enterprise editions cost more than MS Exchange > in the long haul, it's up to you if you can settle for the Open > Source/Community edition's community support. > > On Fri, Jul 3, 2009 at 2:13 PM, ergoxsx <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > thanks, eric. > > btw, does any have real insights on comparison vis-a-vis lotus > notes and > exchange against zimbra? this seems to be a promising one but the > enterprise version also is heavy on price. > > -junn flores- > > > eric rosel wrote: > > Hi ergoxsx, > > > > I was able to try neonInsight for production for some clients a > few weeks ago, it was a disaster!
