I played with Zimbra for a while and was really impressed with it, but I
hadn't looked at it as a full on enterprise solution.

I know my employers would be reluctant to look at using google calendar
as they'll be concerned about confidential data/meetings/shared
documents being on a system outside of our own control, but I'm sure
this is more to do with perception and adapting to change.
