Considered Both Products

Chose Crossware Mail Signature
It was not bad but crosswire is a far more mature product with great support.
Exclaimer
Chose Exclaimer
Exclaimer provides much more flexibility with regards to designs and customised rules. It's also much easier to manage all aspects on the platform itself, both on-prem and cloud.
Chose Exclaimer
It's about the same, both work fine

Crossware
It works really well with Exchange Online/Office 365 environments with a very simple setup and ease of customization and easy to use and understand management panel. Not sure how well it works on on-premises deployments as I have not tested it in that scenario.

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.

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.

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

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)

Fortunately, we haven't had to deal with support much, but every time we have, they were very responsive and were able to either fix our problem or explain the way it worked in a timely and polite manner. Not much else to say other than being in the same region is also a plus for support.

I've only had one issue in 7 years where I needed to reach out to Exclaimer for support, but it was handled quickly and resolved my issue. No messing around to provide additional information. Just a quick solution to what I was facing which resolved the issue on the first go around.

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.

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?
