Microsoft Exchange Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Microsoft Exchange 2019 for a fully On-Prem E-mail solution. Allowing us full control over our e-mail, mailboxes and data.

We have been Microsoft Exchange users for many years and found 2019 to be the most reliable version.

The older versions were good if maintained but 2019 just runs and runs with very little scheduled maintenance.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited to environments that want full control over their e-mail and do not want to go into the cloud.

These days running it as a virtual server is pretty cheap and with ssd SANs, performance issues are a thing of the past.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Microsoft Exchange is still the primary communication method inside our organization for internal and external communications. It is email, calendar and does pretty much any other groupware task we would need. It is easy to use and integrate fantastically to the rest of the Microsoft suite of products. It addresses communication across all devices.

Likelihood to Recommend

Microsoft Exchange is well suited for external and internal email communications. Ideally, more for external communications. The experience has been very much satisfactory.

Microsoft Exchange as a unified communications platform could use much work, and while it has mostly been phased out for MS Teams today, it should fully point to Teams going forward.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In this day and age, email and business communications are one in the same. Internal communication, external communication, meeting invites, meeting notes, all-employee announcements, file sharing, etc., all are handled through email. And people expect this email to be available on their computer and on their cell phones. And to handle all that business communication, we using Microsoft Exchange.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Microsoft Exchange is the standard enterprise product for email communication, with many integrations with other Microsoft products. Our business lives and breathes through Exchange - internal communications, customer communications, presence, organization and scheduling, with a backbone of security through Active Directory and Entra ID. We would not be able to function without it.

Likelihood to Recommend

Microsoft Exchange is extremely well suited for large enterprise customers and SMBs. I would not recommend it for organizations with only a handful of users due to the complexity and overhead to maintain security. I worked with hundreds of clients as part of a Managed Services Provider and we recommended Exchange for any customer with more than 3 or 4 employees.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have been working as a Microsoft Exchange administrator, providing advanced technical support for Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange users of our clients. Microsoft Exchange is a great product in the Microsoft Suite, via which all issues related to Microsoft Outlook can be addressed by the administrator. From basic issues like extending mailbox capacity to whitelisting or blocking domains and senders across the organization, this product does it all. The UI is user-friendly and easy to learn.

Likelihood to Recommend

Microsoft Exchange is a must for organizations using the Microsoft suite of applications. The easy User Interface helps in quickly and smoothly managing the mailboxes of users and working on any issues around them. One of the best things about this is the ease with which the administrators can block or whitelist domains or particular senders across the domain. This ensures enhances security against spammers and hackers.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As expected Microsoft Exchange Server serves as an Email server, enabling us to contact external partners, and hosting our user's mailboxes calendars, contacts, and tasks. It also integrates with our Skype for Business Server that covers our conferencing needs. We have chosen to install a pair of Microsoft Exchange Servers, in order to increase their availability.

Likelihood to Recommend

Would see Microsoft Exchange as a suitable solution for medium / large companies. Smaller companies are probably better off using a simpler implementation of an Email server. Also, the licensing costs are considerable so smaller companies probably will have a difficult time to manage to pay them. Large companies would be probably the best fit for an Exchange Server implementation.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Maintaining different user's mailbox's was difficult in the past now that the Microsoft Exchange online comes with robust 99.9% uptime with Outlook with office 365 bundle we all can sync all our emails files everything anywhere any device with just one login. Where I manage user's in my project and its pricing is very flexible per user per month like subscription so any user leaving or joining the project can be easily scaled.

Likelihood to Recommend

In my production environment we manage a very big client and its user's use Office 365 so from an admin perspective the dashboard is robust and where we manage user's lost file backup's and any issue's with adding or removing user's form directory using Office 365.

Outside the production environment we use Microsoft Exchange everyday. Its email functionality with integrated calendar and Teams or Webex meeting scheduling add-in's and calender updates whenever there is a meeting prior to be more productive. Great integration features.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have been using Microsoft Exchange servers for the past years with an O365 app subscription. It provided us with an efficient way of managing emails with advanced features like voice messaging etc. It has worked well with traditional outlook clients. We could continuously get good feedback from our clients regarding the feature-rich solutions of Microsoft Exchange.

Likelihood to Recommend

Highly efficient and feature-oriented if we have other O365 apps like one note, calenders included. It will be relatively easy to synchronize emails effectively with calenders and teams for any professionals. Not suitable if it is a non-Microsoft local environment.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Microsoft Exchange is used as the groupware server backbone for a set of collaboration experiences connected to the Microsoft Office 365 product suite. Specifically, it provides the server infrastructure for managing email traffic and calendar events. For accessing applications powered by Microsoft Exchange, individual company users can access locally-installed Windows applications or web experiences via browsers.

Likelihood to Recommend

Many organizations have standardized on Microsoft Office as a productivity suite, so employees can access applications such as MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. For these companies, MS Exchange is the ideal infrastructure choice to support email, calendar, and task collaboration. Especially for companies who still require or desire an on-premise implementation of MS software.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

For many years, we used Microsoft Exchange to collect and manage all incoming and outgoing e-mails in the institutions I worked for. We now use Exchange 2016 with over 1000 mailboxes and various databases on-premises. In general, our institutions are satisfied with this product, it is a very useful tool for using and managing mail systems with Microsoft Exchange product.

Likelihood to Recommend
