RE: Exchange vs Groupwise

[Murda Mcloud <murdamcloud () bigpond com>]

Hi Killy, there seems to be some confusion with respect to the client that
Exchange integrates with. Exchange integrates with Outlook and not the
'free' Outlook Express-which comes bundled with IE.

Subject: Exchange vs Groupwise

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outdated or not from a neutral source(is there is one).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!
