I'm with you on that.  Just a personal preference, but obviously it 
counts.  I hadn't heard of Zentyal before this thread, but I can tell 
you with ClearOS 5 that I had installed on some old hardware its web 
interface was slow as well.  (Full disclosure: I was working for the 
current CEO of ClearFoundation at his previous company at that time.)  
It had issues with some of the reporting features they have been pushing 
since then.

I think if you want reporting features, it might be better to go ClearOS 
as a first try.  Otherwise, if I had to pick right now for myself, I'd 
probably try Zentyal, to be honest.  It seems like they include home 
users a lot more into their product plan.  I think it will be sixes in 
the end.

Just my 2 cents.
