We had a thread going earlier this week about replacing Exchange and couldn't
come up with many. Coincidentally, todays issue Doc Searls' Suitwatch was
all about that. His basic point is that Exchange is very hard to replace.
At the end he wrote:
In other words, Exchange is a competent product. There are lots of
increasingly competent competitors that work with Linux -- Bynari,
Kroupware, Oracle Collaboration Suite, SuSE OpenExchange,
PHPGroupWare, Easygate Workgroup, Stalker CommuniGate, ExchangeIT!,
Samsung Contact (leveraging HP's abandoned OpenMail), Bill Workgroup
Server (and exchange4linux), SquirrelMail -- but I don't see a huge
market rush toward any of these solutions, even when the problem being
solved is just getting off Exchange (which many customers want to do,
in spite of its virtues). At least not yet. (And if I'm missing
something, please tell me.)
