Cons
Con Heavy and monolithic
Zimbra doesn't much work with its host platform as much as it brings its own copies of utilities. If you want something small and "plays well with others" integratable...this is not it. Too heavy to run on a RaspberryPi if you're looking for something for just a few users.
Con Linux only
There is no installator for Windows
