John Welch, writing for the Jupiter Research Web site IT Management, used his Friday column to lament the lack of mature groupware servers that run on Mac OS X. He notes that the solutions in use in his office work well with Microsoft Exchange, while there are only "some products [for Mac OS X] that come close for a subset of those features."
He lists the best solutions he's found, ticking off their strengths and weaknesses, and then writes: "If you need the kind of groupware functionality you get from the Exchange ecosystem, there's really nothing for you on Mac OS X, and that's a real problem for Apple, which is trying to gain traction in the Enterprise."
