Hey,
We just moved away from Zimbra after using it for several years. We're using
Google Apps now. The biggest issues that we had involved using the Outlook
Connector. For those people using only Zimbra on the web, it mostly worked
just fine, but the connector constantly broke, required updates, lost
appointments, messed up calendar data, had 'known issues' that the Zimbra
people were working on, etc.
I won't say it was a disaster, because for the web-only group (like our 3200
students), it worked fine for the most part. But the outlook connector was a
definite problem child right from the beginning.
With Google Apps, we've limited our faculty and staff to web-only if they
want to do calendaring - so far, so good.
