I’ve been evaluating KMS for the past 2 weeks. I must say, it rocks.

I also tried Comminigate Pro, but I find that interface to be rather clunky to say the least. Besides, if you have 100 accounts and not 100,000, Communigate is kind of overkill. Also, the price is more reasonable, even when adding the built-in McAffee AV, and you can add 20 users at a time, which is nice for small biz.

The best thing about Kerio is the interface. It’s gorgeous. The web interface is so reminicent of Entourage, my users *love* it. I also like the built-in McAffee AV. If you’re all-Mac, that’s kind of unnecessary, but we have a few PCs here so it’s a must. I sent an EICAM virus test file and whammo, it was stripped from the email.

The Groupware support is excellent. iCal rocks with it. Entourage support is limited, not as many features as if you ran an Exchange server, but the calendar stuff in iCal works great.

BTW, while testing it, I’m using it strictly for IMAP. Right now we are all using POP with our ISP, but that’s about to change!

As far as how well it plays with OD, I haven’t gotten to that point. I have it running on a guinea pig machine locally (an iMac G5, believe it or not) until I make the decision to go live with it on an Xserve, but it has not given me any issues (well, any that weren’t my fault).
