I am looking for a collaboration suite that would fit my small organisation needs.
Email, calendar, notes, sync to other suites and devices, etc, etc....
It should install, behave and maintain well on my SME 7.x-server.
One important thing is that it must be easy to backup and restore on another server.
I found A LOT of promising software!
So instead of doing full testing mysef I thought that that there are probably more people here that wrestling the same quiz.
What are your experiences?  :?:
If this turns out well I'll write a comparison chart in the wiki.

I've tested Horde framework (since imp, Turba and more are included) but I'm just not comfortable with it. It doesn't feel intuitive in the handling.

I also done a test install of GroupOffice. It installs easily and looks good but I'm not yet explored it fully.
NO! I refuse to put some clever latin sentence here!

I use Horde for mail and calendar but I'm still waiting for sync capabilities.
I know that in CVS version of Horde there is support for SyncML, I hope this come soon to production level.
Last (and least) I dont't like Horde's themes!!  :P

I agree. The major problem is horde's themes. Some of my users don't know how to use it so i use roundcube for mail.
"It should just work" if it doesn't report it. Thanks!
