In addition to the blog posting, we also found readers' comments interesting. Here are just a few of the positive comments we've seen from GroupWise fans: "Mr. Osterman, thank you for your positive article on GroupWise. I am continually amazed that more people haven't discovered this product. It's a breeze to administer and simple yet powerful for our users." "GroupWise is stable, efficient, and easy to administer." "We host GroupWise for many locations around the world, supporting multiple languages. We depend on the ability to share documents via the shared folder functionality. When vendors ask why we don't use Sharepoint, we tell them that GroupWise meets all of our collaboration needs for our organization."
