Myself I'm running Kerio tweaked up tight as I can get it and it's never
let me down. Just about tried them all over the years and never did
rate ZA free version or paid up TBH. Horses for courses init? IMHO
it's down to the way one sets up a firewall and I've found Kerio the
best of the bunch for customising.

HTH.

Are you using the pre-Sunbelt version of Kerio?

As for ZA, I think it was ok but uninstalling it was a nightmare! On
that basis alone I'd avoid it. There are others that do just as well (or
better?) that aren't such a PITA to uninstall.

Same reason I avoid Symantec like the plague!

My .02 worth...

Yes, IIRC Sunbelt aquired Kerio around end of 2005, yes?
