Why Public Sector Players Prefer IceWarp

Why IceWarp?
IceWarp is an all-in-one collaboration suite, in some way similar to the likes of mega-corp products like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, but with more flexibility, no extra fees and wasted features, and price savings upwards of 50%.
It comes jam-packed with integrated Business Email, Calendar, Conferencing, TeamChat, Documents collaboration, Files for storage and sharing, and more. Plus, IceWarp runs as a desktop app available on both your browser and mobile devices.
But IceWarp was also built with the public sector in mind. When asked what features have proven especially beneficial for public institutions, Nina was quick to name the following:
- On-premise & hybrid deployment options
- Full Active Directory, LDAP integration
- Real-time co-editing, incl. document history
- Extensive audit logs and admin controls
- Built-in encryption
- Single admin across all domains
- Regulatory compliance (ISO 9001 and ISO 27001)
Nina’s TOP 5 Reasons to Switch
While the points above paint a picture of how public sector companies and government bodies can benefit by switching to IceWarp, we’ve barely scratched the surface. Here are the TOP 5 must-solve issues that see organizations migrating to IceWarp.
#1. Secure Data Storage
“Security is always at the top of our clients’ priorities. In fact, the concern I hear most often during my meetings and sales presentations deals with cloud solutions. Clients want to know WHERE their data will live, who has access to it, and whether it achieves regulatory compliance.
That’s why IceWarp offers 99.9% SLA, encrypted transport & at-rest, role-based admin policy engine, real-time scanning for threats, detailed audit logs, and optional cloud or on‑prem deployment. Everything hangs on trust and availability—and we deliver both.”
#2. Affordable Public Pricing
“With a comparable feature set, IceWarp saves clients roughly half the cost of both Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. That’s because IceWarp operates on a “only-pay-for-what-you-actually-use” basis. There’s no need to pay extra for a bunch of features irrelevant to your specific business scenario. You can even adjust your feature set month by month.”
#3. A Stable & Long-term Alternative
“When I’m pitching IceWarp to anyone in the public sector, I lead with the ‘triple risk’ conversation: geo-risk, legal‑risk, and lock‑in risk.
IceWarp delivers every core capability—email, chat, docs, video conferencing—with open standards, transparent pricing, and local data hosting. And customers know exactly where they stand, contract‑wise, with no risk for crazy, sudden price increases.”
#4. Customization
“Public sector clients can fully white-label and customize the IceWarp environment to fit their internal structure and workflows.
This is a big selling point for us. You can rebrand the UI, customize domain names, create department-level policies—all the way to custom templates and workflows. IceWarp’s limit on flexibility is nearly non-existent. You can truly make IceWarp your own.”
#5. Full Control
“I often run into public sector clients whose IT teams prefer having more control over their environments (e.g., via on-prem or hybrid deployments). And luckily for them, IceWarp empowers them to do so.
Control and data sovereignty are a high priority for the public sector, and thus, for IceWarp. We let clients host fully on-prem, deploy virtual appliances in-house, or choose regional hosting. Either way, they control updates, backups, user policies, and more.”
