  • Thanks to group e-mail, you don't require project stakeholders' contact details. Project managers may quickly give comments and information by e-mailing that group.
  • It simplifies mailbox management.
  • Favorite feature: calendar. This function shows which meeting rooms are vacant or full. Meetings are easy to organize.
  • In grouped emails, you can't limit the list when you open it.
  • Slow page loads. Needs work.
  • Email synchronization can be sluggish, and there's no permanent solution.

  • 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.
  • Exchange Online has a limitation of only being able to send a message to 500 recipients within a 24-hour period. Bulk emails may therefore require batching.
  • Initially, provisioning users can take a little while due to mailboxes being created and policies applied. It would be advisable to give a least 24 hours.
  • PowerShell skills are recommended to perform bulk administrative operations. They may be slow and tedious from the Administrative Console.

  • Reliable access to email, calendar, and contacts including accessing these using a cell phone.
  • Very secure and can be used with third party firewalls systems.
  • Reduced Costs and Flexibility.
  • Updated a lot by Microsoft and is very popular.
  • 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.
