Re: Exchange vs Groupwise

[killy <killfactory () gmail com>]

To clairify,

Groupwise Client verses Outlook 2003.
The focus I feel will be on the communication between the client and server.
Does Groupwise provide better encryption?

We are going in the direction Microsoft everything. So, we have
customers that run Groupwise, but we have to get onto Exchange and AD.
They purchased Groupwise because it was supposed to be 'more secure'
and now we are telling them Exchange is better for the dollar.

That may clear up some of my confusion. :)

Hi everyone,

I hope this topic is in the correct forum.

I am working on an assessment of a proposed change in email systems.

Moving from Groupwise 6.5 and 7 over to Exchange 2003 or better.

Most of the exchange vs groupwise numbers that I am finding are a bit
outdated or not from a neutral source(is there is one).

I am looking for current number on MarketShare.

Also, forever I have heard that Groupwise is more secure that Exchange.

My feeling is that the Groupwise 'client' is a better choice that
Outlook Express, but

I am focusing on Groupwise Client verses Outlook.

Things like encryption level, if any between client and server.

I have looked at the CVE database and I am aware of the reported
vulnerabilities.
The CVE shows a reduction in Exchange problems over the recent years.

I am not interested in pushing for one product over the other but,
just the facts.

I fell certain that someone on this list has done something similar in the past.

I am just looking for direction.  Thanks!
