I'm constantly asked for recommendations on VIABLE alternatives to the
MS Outlook/Exchange groupware system. Let's face it: Exchange is
expensive, and does a lot of things that most of my SMB customers will
never need. I've seen a few different products, but have yet to find one
that integrates and works as well as Outlook with an Exchange server.
Do you guys have any ideas on substitutes. The main core features that
most SMB's use would be the scheduling/calendaring , POP/IMAP email, and
address book. It'd be nice to have the whole lot integrated, but
seperate products with a good UI would do. The email and address book
clients are easy enough to find, but what about calendaring? Something
with the ability to both share an office calendar, and have seperate
(but viewable) calendars for each worker. Editor priveleges for a
secretary on specific calendars would be a plus, as well. To complicate
it a bit further, how about something that would work on a peer-to-peer
network (< 10 PC's) with no dedicated server? Any thoughts?
