- "As the license of our company is very affordable per year and per user, and considering the almost-zero administration needs, I would say that the cost is returned in the first three months, compared to other solutions."
- "IceWarp offers very extended cross-platform communication solutions."
- "If you have a small to medium business and you require a professional collaboration server that focuses on the main services of emails and calendar scheduling, I recommend IceWarp."
IceWarp requires enhancements in areas such as video conferencing scalability, database complexity, and Exchange compatibility. The software needs improved API integration, security, and documentation. Users face challenges with email delivery tracking, desktop applications, and mobile support. Maintenance is cumbersome due to multiple master databases, and a single web-based admin console is preferred. Support requires better escalation options and quicker response times. Improved mailing list and security features are necessary to better compete with Google and Microsoft offerings.
- "Customer service is not always helpful."
- "There are some feature improvements possible the way we use it as a hosting provider, but for most we currently have workarounds."
- "The database query for creating new database and querying about activities are too simplistic."
