CodeTwo Email Signatures 365Exclaimer
Considered Both Products
CodeTwo Email Signatures 365
Chose CodeTwo Email Signatures 365
First of all the two product differs in the price, Exclaimer costs so much more and doesn't give you more functionality. CodeTwo is also more complete in functions and the signature designer is more complete and it gives you more possibilities.
Chose CodeTwo Email Signatures 365
CodeTwo provides similar functionality to Exclaimer, but we found it to be easier to use at a better price point.
Chose CodeTwo Email Signatures 365
CodeTwo allows you to import your Signature designs via HTML whereas Exclaimer forces you to use there own Signature Designer which is very limited.
Chose CodeTwo Email Signatures 365
To be honest, the two are much the same, and we would have been happy with either solution. I have not tried the support from Exclaimer, and while we have not had a single technical issue with CodeTwo, there was an issue with billing alerts and admin accounts, which was our …
Chose CodeTwo Email Signatures 365
CodeTwo is cheaper per user and has the same features as Exclaimer. Exclaimer's editor was a little nicer, but CodeTwo's has more features. Integration into our tenant was just as fast and good with Exclaimer as it was with CodeTwo. In the end, price is what brought us to …
Chose CodeTwo Email Signatures 365
Big factors in our decision-making were multi-tenancy support, pricing, dynamic signature processing, workflow consistency and the ability to access the raw html if needed. CodeTwo Email Signatures 365's cloud processing specifically offers great flexibility and allows us to …
Chose CodeTwo Email Signatures 365
At CodeTwo, the overall experience of the product is a lot more pleasant. From configuration to support. Personally, I find CodeTwo a lot more user-friendly and easier to implement.
Chose CodeTwo Email Signatures 365
Both products are comparable in terms of concept and features, but the pricing of CodeTwo combined with the option to edit HTML code of the signatures made us go for CodeTwo.
Chose CodeTwo Email Signatures 365
CodeTwo Email Signatures proved more cost-effective than other products in its category. As well, CodeTwo Email Signatures proved to be more comprehensive and cover more use cases than comparable products in its category. Lastly, CodeTwo Email Signatures proved to have an …
Chose CodeTwo Email Signatures 365
We selected CodeTwo Email Signatures for Office 365 because it offered extensive functionality at a very competitive price point. The integration to Office 365 is very robust.
Chose CodeTwo Email Signatures 365
Clearly the better product, better support and better editior tool!
Chose CodeTwo Email Signatures 365
The CodeTwo installation was very straight forward and easy to handle. Designing the signature was also quite easy. Managing which users have access to which signature was very simple. In general everything was easy to find and not a struggle. I did not need to do any research …

Chose Exclaimer
The other platform we considered for this service was CodeTwo Email Signatures. It was fully capable of providing the signature service we needed. Still, our company already had an existing relationship with Exclaimer Cloud-Signatures for Office 365, which made it much more …
Chose Exclaimer
I have recently taken over using codetwo for different client.
I've not yet had enough experience to form an informed opinion on the two.
Chose Exclaimer
Far superior than the other providers we evaluated
Chose Exclaimer
Internal decision not for public.
Chose Exclaimer
We tested CodeTwo alongside Exclaimer. We went with Exclaimer for the much easier to use editor, the support for setting up the first template and how open they were with data security.

They also provided much simpler guidance to initially setup the integration into office365 …
Chose Exclaimer
After using both CodeTwo and Opensense, my preference is still Exclaimer. I found Exclaimer to be extremely robust and flexible. It is also very easy to deploy and the logic within the programming within Exclaimer, makes it very easy to design your signature block workflows. …
Chose Exclaimer
Staff were extremely responsive and got back to us with in a day. We started the conversation and decided to go with Exclaimer for their timely response.
Chose Exclaimer
Found Exclaimer to be easier and a well trusted product.
Chose Exclaimer
Exclaimer was the most costly option even after volume discounts and as an existing customer. It edges out the others in the simplicity of deployment and account management.
Technically, all of the things - or most of the things - that Exclaimer can do, you can also do directly …
Chose Exclaimer
To be honest we could have gone either way with this decision. Our cloud partner happened to be reselling Exclaimer and we were expecting a slight discount but that didn't actually happen. I don't quite remember whether there was anything in particular that would have pushed us …
Chose Exclaimer
Prior to Exclaimer, we previously used a similar product from CodeTwo. Code Two's user interface and rule set up interface was slightly better than Exclaimer but their customer support was non-existence. When an issue came up where email signatures were not being applied for …
Chose Exclaimer
I've used CodeTwo in a previous role and it is more clunky to use and configure compared to exclaimer. Exclaimer has a much better support team and knowledge base.
Chose Exclaimer
I briefly looked at their website and I couldn't really understand as there was to much information which was hard to understand what they was actually trying to sell off to people, Exclaimer just looked exactly what we needed in just a few words I knew it was what we where …
Chose Exclaimer
CodeTwo just did not work for our environment. We used their products previously and they worked great, however they were products for old 2003 Exchange servers. Once we upgraded, the only way to fully utilize their tools was to be 100% on Office 365 and Hybrid was not an …
Chose Exclaimer
Exclaimer was a far superior product with better technical support. The staff at Exclaimer were really helpful and even helped us deploy the first set of template signatures for our organisation, this meant that setting up new ones was as simple as following the existing …
Chose Exclaimer
Exclaimer had more flexibility in their signature options at the time we were considering a cloud-based signature service. The user interface is a little easier to navigate.
Chose Exclaimer
Easy to use interface, the signature template editor is friendly, and pricing.
Chose Exclaimer
While Exclaimer is the most expensive, you pay for better compliance, easier experience to set up and configure, and better support. While the other two provide most of what Exclaimer has but we found that they were not as easy for our marketing department to use and in one …
Chose Exclaimer
I like how well Exclaimer integrates with Office365 and how easy it is to set up, configure and design signatures that can then be pushed out to your entire Team with a click of a button.

CodeTwo Software
For most businesses, CodeTwo Email Signatures 365's signature solution would be a well-suited and logical pick. The solution is easy to set-up, fairly priced and a breeze to work with. A simple deployment is up and running in minutes, while more complex flows are handled without issue. Only situations where very high access-segmentation requirements are present, would not be served by the lack of better access control in the solution.

Well-Suited Scenarios: - Large Organizations: Exclaimer streamlines email signature management for brand consistency. - Customer Feedback - Compliance Industries: Great for businesses with strict email compliance needs. Less Appropriate Scenarios: Unnecessary for organizations not to prioritise branding or feedback via email signatures.

Pros
CodeTwo Software
  • Email design and layout
  • Apply different signatures by group or by user or go so far as to change it per recipient
  • Dynamic fields to pull user data from AD/AzureAD (phone number, job title, etc.)
  • Ability to add non-admins (usually marketing) to help manage the signatures
Read full review
Exclaimer
  • Allows for easily customizing the templates for the signatures.
  • Allows uploading custom logos or banners to be applied in the different signatures
  • Allows assigning specific signatures to groups of users
  • Connects easily with all Google Suite email accounts within the organization

Cons
CodeTwo Software
  • Changing font type and color doesn't work as expected when editing multiple lines in the simple editor
  • The custom scheduler lacks the option to recurrently schedule yearly events, e.g. the yearly Christmas signature from Dec 15 to Jan 15.
  • You can preview a signature with real user data when editing the template, but you cannot preview a signature based on multiple rules combined like a regular signature followed by a marketing banner and then a disclaimer.

Exclaimer
  • The signature block designer is a steep learning curve, but logical once you do understand it
  • Submission of support tickets could be improved
  • In rare instances where emails are generated using a third party, there can be issues relating to the from field not being set correctly that can cause crashes.

Will absolutely renew the licenses for CodeTwo Email Signatures 365. We have been happy with their version for onprem exchange and updated to the m365 version after migrating our business to the cloud.

We are very happy with exclaimer it runs 99.9% of the time without any issues. It also very easy to use and maintain and the design team are happy to use it as its so user friendly. When compared to how much time we used to spend updating banners exclaimer saves us hours. This more than justifies the cost and when it comes to renew we wont be thinking twice about doing so

Usability
CodeTwo Software
  • The email preview feature is great and super useful, but it should retain the selected sender until the editor is closed. I often preview a signature for a certain user, do some changes and want to preview them again without re-selecting the same sender every time.
  • The search field for selecting a sender for the preview should execute the search when the enter key is pressed.
  • Conditional placeholders are great but the handling could be better. For example: why do they have to be re-inserted after every change? Or when the default value is intentionally left empty, there should be a way to turn of the warnings.

In the order that I recall the setup process: Signature templates need to be set up (attribute mapping to AD) Office 365 connector needs to be set up (global admin needed and exclaimer engineer for guidance) Signature policies need to be set up (who gets which signatures) Office membership groups need to be setup (who in the org will use exclaimer) Members need to be added to those groups (user membership) Agents need to be deployed on the end-user hosts (local agent)

It is important to make sure Active Directory is correctly populated and that content is standardized, eg telephone number formats.

Our implementation was relatively easy as we weren't cutting over from anything. We just got the software installed, set up the file share and got active directory set up. We got exsync on a scheduled task and it just worked. We built our templates and policies and it has always been relatively smooth.

When we were moving to the cloud, we first thought that our own on-premise solution would suffice. However it didn't, so we needed something else and fairly quick. We did some Googling to search for several solutions, then our IT partner told us about CodeTwo. We decided to try it and we decided to stay for it is solid and it just works without all the hassle we had with the on-premise solution.

We use customer thermometer to survey our customers, it is a good product although the multi user (login) licensing is puzzling - aren't we paying for the product in terms of thermometers - why should additional logins to review the results incur a cost?
