Groupware on Linux Recommendations

By Angsuman Chakraborty, Gaea News Network

I am evaluating different Groupware packages (like Microsoft Exchange) for Linux. Can you please give some recommendations? So far I have come across Scalix, eGroupware, Open-XChange and The Horde project. Have you used any of them for business?

Check out Group-Office at https://www.group-office.com. It features shared calendaring, projects, file sharing, e-mail, todo’s, billing and synchronization with mobile phones and outlook.

Kerio Server works great on Linux, but I’ve had a hard time trying to get evolution to work with it. I’m trying to find a linux groupware client that is as nice as evolution but integrates and works better with Kerio.

Hi,

I use eGroupWare 1.4 at this moment and it is really good.
Give it a try.

Cheers,
István

Nous venons de publier SOGo 1.0rc1 (dérivé d’OpenGroupware). Je crois que ça vaut le détour car l’interface est beaucoup plus intuitive que pour les groupwares libres conventionels. Et par rapport à Zimbra, il prend beaucoup moins de ressources au niveau du client web.

Hi,

I use egroupware 1.2.107 at this moment and I love it.
I will upgrade to 1.4 soon.
It has a good community and useful applications.

Regards,
István

We use Open-Xchange and have had a very positive experience with it. I would recommend giving it a try.

Hey there,

I was in your shoes last year and found kerio to be the most mature option on Linux and my endusers still love it. It has more features close to Exchange and even better. Deployment was surprisingly easy.

Hope that helps.

We use OpenGroupware, https://www.groupware.org

A very nice full-featured Groupware server. Been using it since 2003.

hi there,

I’ve heard good things about Zimbra, that comes with an AJAX client.

Zimbra…specifically through rPath’s rbuilder…nothing is more simple…you build it online, download, install, and it’s up and running fully configured.

Here’s an overview of rbuilder:
