User Testimonials
	Microsoft Exchange
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft Creating and receiving emails is simple. Managing contacts is a nice feature, especially connecting to Active Directory. Calendar management is also helpful and sharing access to others' calendars for scheduling meetings is useful. And reserving resources such as rooms or equipment is also useful. Personal and shared mailboxes are good features, as well. Tasks are a little lacking, but other than that, the features are thorough. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous 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 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 Email and calendars in a business setting are requirements. And Microsoft continues to be the standard of business applications. Microsoft 365 makes Microsoft Exchange easy to use. Everything is in the cloud. Let Microsoft take care of the hardware, the software, and the security. You just enable your business users with the functionality they need. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Microsoft Microsoft Exchange has come a long way over the years and has nowhere near the technical overhead required for support as it did back in 2003/2007 and prior. The integrations with Teams, Defender, Sharepoint, Copilot and many other products make it a solid and well-rounded tool used for many day-to-day tasks.

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
