"We really don't run into Zimbra competing in the marketplace all that much-except perhaps in the North American SMB segment," Winokur told me in an email. In addition, Zimbra has also had success with hosting providers supporting small business users.įor a comparison, Scalix, another private company with AJAXed email, calendaring and an open source edition, has more than one million mailboxes across mostly enterprise and SMB accounts, according to Glenn Winokur, Scalix CEO. edu accounts, which appreciate the Web 2.0 features (AJAX, Zimlets, mashups, skins), support for Outlook, Apple iSynch, and mobile synching and the price-not $25 per user. My guess would be the revenue is under $20 million, which is still a healthy business for a Web 2.0 startup in a very competitive space that includes Microsoft, Google, Scalix, IBM, Novell, Yahoo, etc.
Zimbra also has a free open source edition of Zimbra Collaboration Suite 4.0, which like the low price, is part of a strategy to build the community and user adoption, without price being a barrier. He emphasized that 100 percent of the revenue is recurring annual subscriptions. Zimbra CEO Satish Dharmaraj told me that the revenue numer is a mix of enterprise ($28 a year), SMB hosted ($1.75 per month) and consumer service provider deals ($3 per year). Marshall Kirkpatrick of TechCrunch takes the $25 per seat per year pricing and estimates that Zimbra is doing at least $100 million in annual revenue, assuming the numbers are accurate. Additional discounts are available for larger organizations."
The press release states the prices: "ZCS 4.0 Network Edition pricing starts at $25/mailbox/year for a minimum of 25 users for the Standard Edition, which includes product support as well as software subscriptions to new releases, updates and patches. Zimbra, a private company with about $30.5 million in venture funding, won't reveal its revenue numbers. Impressive, given the company has only been selling subscriptions in March of this year. The company announced that is has more than 4 million paid mailboxes. Zimbra, one of the poster children of cool for Web 2.0 applications, is more than just a pretty interface and collaboration and messaging platform with mashups (see Richard MacManus' review).
