Unlike Kerio and Zimbra, which have versions that can run on multiple server platforms, Zarafa is designed for Linux and built to integrate with any LDAP-based directory service, including Active Directory and Open Directory. Zarafa also offers installation flexibility and supports integration with most common Linux mail transfer agents -- think postfix and sendmail -- as well as options for migrating from Exchange or other mail servers that provide IMAP.
As with Zimbra, access from the iPhone and other mobile devices made possible via an additional package called Z-Push . Unlike Zimbra Mobile, Z-Push is a fully open-source solution that can be implemented at no added cost.

Like Kerio and Zimbra, Communigate runs on various platforms including Windows, Unix/Linux, and Mac OS X, and provides integration with Active Directory and LDAP-based directory services environments. Integration with Lotus Notes calendaring is also supported, as are migration processes from Exchange and POP/IMAP mail servers. The goal is to provide a seamless migration process.
