User Testimonials
	Microsoft Exchange
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft You can use Microsoft Exchange Server with peace of mind for e-mail, calendar, communication, scheduling, and collaboration services. Microsoft's Exchange Server is a product designed to provide users with access to the messaging platform from mobile devices, desktops, and web-based systems. Telephony features in Exchange Server support voicemail. Exchange Server successfully offers high availability service with Microsoft Exchange Database availability groups. Incentivized Hasan ALTAY Senior Accountant Read full review
Pros	Microsoft As we have a large user base of 11,000 users we use MailTips to avoid people getting confused with people with similar names in the organization. The integration between Teams Meeting and Resource booking is generally very good. The Scheduling Assistance makes it easy to scan calendars and find free periods to provisionally scheduled events. Marking yourself as Out of the Office and busy is easy, as is sharing your calendar within the team/organization or individuals. Voicemail integration and the ability to receive missed chats in your inbox are highly used and useful. Incentivized AB Andrew Buckle Senior Infrastructure Analyst Read full review
Cons	Microsoft The two main factors for the better reliability & Uptime of internally hosted Exchange Server depends on Exchange Server configuration and the level of investment the organization is willing to provide for hosting the Exchange Server On-Premise Environment. As the data is stored in the organization’s hardware, any disaster may lead to the loss of email and servers. Losing data might affect business continuity and rebuilding it can be costly. Security remains a major concern. Security of data loss is main concern. To ensure that, organization needs to configure networks, systems and Exchange platform against possible threats. Hardware and license costs are high. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Microsoft It is the best, and perhaps only, email solution worth considering. Incentivized Jerry Robinson Chief Technology Officer/Director of IS Read full review
Usability	Microsoft Microsoft Exchange is well suited for inexperienced Messaging Admins and veterans alike. If you have no idea of the fundamentals of modern email (SMTP, mail headers, MX Records, SPF/DKIM, Encryption, etc.) and just need to get people's mailboxes and calendars the support they need, you can use it with confidence. If you are an old pro and want to leverage and dovetail your Powershell and AD with Exchange, you will be rewarded for your efforts. Incentivized Brett Amato Principal Systems Engineer Read full review
Reliability and Availability	Microsoft Exchange is setup with multiple servers behind load balancers to provide high availability. Incentivized Jerry Robinson Chief Technology Officer/Director of IS Read full review
Performance	Microsoft I would say it's the best email product I've experienced. Incentivized Jerry Robinson Chief Technology Officer/Director of IS Read full review
Support Rating	Microsoft We have a good enterprise agreement with Microsoft which affords us quick phone support. I have found the support staff knowledgeable and prompt with a solution when required. At times it may be difficult to schedule a call back, this is mainly due to our need for calls early in the morning which happens to be during a shift change at Microsoft support. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Implementation Rating	Microsoft Implementation/conversion can be quite complex and, unless you have certified Exchange administrators in-house, you should strongly consider a 3rd party consultant for this implementation. Incentivized Jerry Robinson Chief Technology Officer/Director of IS Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Microsoft Most of the 365 subscriptions include desktop and cloud versions of Microsoft programs. These "traditional" software may be installed on a desktop computer and used offline without any problems, as long as you have a working Internet connection. Because so many firms still transmit each others file's developed locally using these applications, despite this being an era of cloud computing– there is a strong case for keeping desktop versions available. Incentivized Kelly Peterson System Administrator Read full review
Scalability	Microsoft The only time Exchange has failed us is when we did something to cause the failure. Incentivized Jerry Robinson Chief Technology Officer/Director of IS Read full review
Return on Investment	Microsoft It has been an important factor in allowing seamless communication with clients and scheduling business meetings, which in turn works in the company's favor. Haven't noticed any negative impact Exchange has had on our ROI. The support team is also responsive and helpful. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
