On premise Exchange is the email platform for the enterprise. We do not setup it up for all users, only those who have a legitimate business need for email communication. As you would expect, Exchange provides a reliable method of business communication with both internal and external users.
  • Email delivery
  • Email storage
  • Email archival
  • Support for non-Windows clients
On-prem Exchange is well suited larger organizations. Due to the cost of licensing, hardware, and the expertise required to maintain, it's not necessarily a good fit for small to medium sized companies. O365 would be a better option for those types of organizations.

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.
  • Email Exchange from and to internal and external partners
  • Host user calendars
  • Host user mailboxes
  • Would be nice if all management options were available in the GUI management.
  • Would be nice if there were less technical users / mailboxes in the AD.
  • Would like to see simpler implementation of DAGs.
  • Access to log files could be easier. A tool to search them / filter logs would be nice to have.
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.

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.
  • Efficient mail delivery and handling.
  • Secure mailing protocols with anti spam features.
  • Connect relevant mails well making the search faster with its AI features.
  • Budget is definitely high for a medium level organization.
  • On Premise Microsoft Exchange server requires a good pre-required server hardware.
  • Works best only with other O365 apps integrated.
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.

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.
  • Routing emails to the appropriate individual or group.
  • Providing advanced email management options, such as filtering and routing.
  • Providing calendar collaboration, with the ability to control who can see my calendar.
  • Exchange spam filtering can be inconsistent at times.
  • Exchange task integration is lacking key features such as schedule integration.
  • According to IT colleagues, Exchange servers are tedious to manage and upgrade from a set-up administration perspective.
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.

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.
  • Strong community support for Microsoft group's Exchange product.
  • Microsoft Exchange The product is very easy to install and deploy.
  • Microsoft Exchange is user-friendly and options like send and receive connectors or mail flow are uncomplicated.
  • In general, I think that supplier or business partner relations should be developed.
  • Efforts should be continued to increase the internal and operational efficiency of the group.
  • International Compliance and risk management should continue to be improved.
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.

Our company's preferred method of corporate communication is Microsoft Exchange. It can be used on both mobile devices and personal computers because of its multi-media capability. It assures that all of our communications, whether internal and external, are safe and uninterruptible. Using Microsoft Exchange, the whole institution's communication may be managed from a single location.
  • 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.
Sending and receiving emails, as well as keeping track of them, is a breeze with this software. It's a fantastic tool for organizing meetings, sending out group emails, and setting up appointments. It's a tool that's ideal for organizations with a high number of projects and employees to use. As a result, small firms are able to take use of it with little difficulty. The product's various features and user-friendly interface make it a product that can be utilized by everyone.

We use Microsoft Exchange to contact our end customers and providers daily, then it is an essential tool for us to keep the communication up to date. Some day we decided to migrate from Exchange to Exchange Online because it seems to be more accessible for the end-users but it didn't work, the users were able to enter the mailbox but all the email subfolders were gone, disappeared, it wasn't there anymore, then all the users got concerned because some of them use to have more than 10 subfolders to organize their emails (customers, providers, warranties, contracts, etc.), we tried to execute a script to migrate the accounts including the subfolders but it didn't work, then they switched back to Exchange On-Premise.
  • Ease of use.
  • Clear interface.
  • Easy integration between desktop and mobile devices.
  • Wizard to migrate a mailbox from Exchange to Exchange Online keeping subfolders.
  • Wizard configuring a Microsoft 365 mailbox in a mobile device.
  • The Online version has not had the same options for customizing the interface as On-Premise.
I think Microsoft Exchange is well suited when you can set your customized subfolders for one or more mailboxes, it is a very clear interface for end-users and it makes easy email management. The native integration with Teams and calendar is so good because at least 50% of our customers use Microsoft Teams for meetings, then we don't need to create a specific event in another calendar (like Google) to schedule the meeting. The interface is very customizable to make it more friendly for the end-user. I think Microsoft Exchange is less appropriate when you need to configure a new email account and doesn't have some technical knowledge. It is also a problem when you need to integrate a plugin (like Google Calendar) to connect to other platforms because most cases it becomes a very slow performance of Exchange, then you need to uninstall the plugin.

With Microsoft Exchange, we manage all the organization's mail. It allows us to have policies to control malicious mail, control the size of each user's mailbox, create automatic mail forwarding to other users, track or trace incoming or outgoing mail, and block domains related to SPAM. Integrates with Active Directory or LDAP.
  • Mailbox management
  • Traceability of incoming or outgoing mail
  • Malicious domain blocking
  • Updates or patches are a bit difficult
Microsoft Exchange is very suitable for corporate environments given its high integration with other products (such as Active Directory). The product is also suitable for any size company. It also requires having personnel in the information technology department trained to administer or support the product or to carry out updates.

We use Microsoft Exchange to manage emails across our organization. It does a great job in integrating with other Microsoft Office and other Microsoft applications like Teams.
  • Synchronize with a lot of different applications
  • Good interface
  • The options to customize rules are good
  • Easy to use
  • Better searching functionality
  • Better filing capability
  • Better ways to identify phishing emails
Microsoft Exchange seems to be the standard in businesses. I think it's useful that the majority of other businesses also use Microsoft Exchange. It makes sense to use Microsoft Exchange if the company uses a Windows OS and Microsoft Office applications. It may not be suitable for businesses that don't use Microsoft applications and may use Mac OS more.

Our email server is a virtual computer that runs Microsoft Exchange. As far as we know, this mail server is where all mailboxes belonging to hospital employees are kept. When sending an email to multiple recipients at once is not possible, the mail server may address this problem by allowing us to build distribution groups. This means that if I send an email to a distribution group, it will be received by everyone who is a member of that group. The majority of our mailboxes are on-premises, however, some are hosted in the cloud using Microsoft Exchange.
  • Highly secure and compatible with third-party firewalls.
  • Reduced costs and more options.
  • Microsoft frequently updates it and it's quite popular.
  • Purchasing hardware and software can be expensive.
  • I find the management UI a little cumbersome to use.
  • Continuity of operations might be jeopardized, and the expense of re-creating lost data is high.
We have a large number of domains and send and receive hundreds of emails per day. Microsoft Exchange makes it easy to keep track of everything. Anyone who requires some sort of automated email system will likely find Microsoft Exchange useful. The current version of Exchange has also considerably reduced the time spent managing/administrating email, which is a tremendous advantage regardless of the size of the company.

Microsoft Exchange is an excellent messaging system integrated with email, calendar, and messaging. It has one of the best email solutions, easy administration, deployment, and integration with Microsoft. It has helped us in enhancing the email delivery system tremendously. It is a must tool for all organizations.
  • Easy administration as it helps us in managing the various groups along with their privacy.
  • Easy deployment/integration of the company data on the server.
  • Intuitive features along with their privacy control.
  • Email Organization system does not provide feedback intelligently about the category an email should belong to.
  • Managing calendar event is sometimes difficult.
  • Email indexing or searching can be improved as it takes a longer time to fetch that data when on limited bandwidth.
It is helpful in converting mailboxes to the shared mailbox and helps us in mail distribution management. It helps all types of companies in managing the email delivery system, email management, contact management, calendar management, etc. It is well suited for medium to large company size, given the pricing.

We use Microsoft Exchange for day-to-day email exchanges for alert and monitoring boxes. This is easy to share across users and easy to maintain. The advantage is that it doesn't create the threat of password sharing. Its shared mailbox can be configured and can be parallelly accessed by multiple users. This has been beneficial for the support team.
  • Multiple user access
  • Easy for maintenance
  • Works well for calendar and rules
  • Not any that we observed
  • integration with Teams
It works as expected and meets our requirements. It's best in a place where we don’t use Office 365. Easy for shared use across org so best suitable for support teams.

I used Microsoft Exchange for several years as a collaborative suite, mainly emails, but also for work processes, using shared mailboxes, archiving items and specific email related workflows. I've upgraded without issues from several versions, in complex environments with Microsoft Exchange components spanning multiple servers.
  • Email
  • Calendar
  • Contacts
  • Simplify management console
  • Better security
  • More frequent security patches
Microsoft Exchange is the reference in collaboration within enterprise. Now replaced by Microsoft Office 365 suite, but on premises deployments are still best in class. Management console can be difficult to use in my opinion, but documentation is great. Microsoft PowerShell can be used to perform every action programmatically.

Exchange is used extensively within the organization for email, calendaring, and resource bookings such as rooms and conferencing facilities. We operate in Hybrid mode because we have both on-premise and cloud presences. Therefore our source of authority(SOA) comes from the on-premise Active Directory (AD). This makes life a little more complicated as we need a process to connect both presences and keep them in synchronization which is done with a service called Azure AD Connect. We will eventually remove our on-premise Exchange service and move completely to Exchange Online but because of other dependencies, we cannot do this at the moment.
  • 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.
Mailbox delegation is used extensively so that personal assistants can manage the email/diaries of high-profile members of staff. The ability to convert a mailbox from regular to shared is also beneficial when a person is on leave or absent for a period of time as it frees up a license. As Exchange is so accessible, it can be used as a filing cabinet which is not what it is designed to be. This can lead to large mailboxes which can lead to users losing the information within them.

At previous employers, I also used Microsoft Exchange, and it has always performed admirably and provided solid, dependable email access. We prefer on-premise to hosted Exchange because it gives us complete control over both the architecture of our Exchange environment and the Exchange servers themselves. VMWare ESXi is also used to virtualize all of our Exchange servers. Microsoft Exchange is simply the best email solution available, and the on-premise version of that product is the best.
  • User management is simple. Creating, deleting, and moving mailboxes and distribution lists is simple.
  • The Active Directory integration is excellent. Once again, this is the best of the best.
  • Mobile device integration is possible. Integration with Microsoft Outlook is quick, easy, and effective.
  • Troubleshooting problems can be difficult. Even for seasoned Exchange Admins, some of the issues that arise are not particularly intuitive.
  • Exchange cost is costly, both in terms of hardware and, more importantly, in terms of software.
  • It's not something you want a novice to set up or manage. You'll need administrators who are familiar with Microsoft Exchange.
For many small businesses, on-premise Microsoft Exchange may be prohibitively expensive. Office 365 is a hosted Exchange option for small businesses that want the power of Exchange but can't afford the costs of installing and maintaining an on-premise Exchange instance. Microsoft Exchange is ideal for medium- to large-sized businesses. It's sturdy, powerful, and dependable. If you want the best email in the industry, Microsoft Exchange is the way to go. In this regard, there is literally no better product on the market.

It's my default application email. I never had a problem in the 25 years that I have use it. I advise you to use it, you could do all features about email management. I integrate also the exchange server of my customer with API integration and it worked very well.
  • Rules
  • Filter
  • Search
  • Tagging
  • View additional mailbox in mobile device
It manages a lot of emails, it's good for searching with a lot of parameters, and it manages distribution lists and shared mailboxes. It is good for rules, sometimes I don't understand the logic con the unread email. It works offline very well. In comparison with Gmail, it has "annul features" while you're sending the email, and the tagging features in less friendly.

We have used Microsoft Exchange for the past 8 years for Emails, Calendars, and Contacts. Microsoft Exchange has good support for organizations which our company desperately needed. We have multiple companies and email domains and wanted a single place to manage mailboxes and user info. Microsoft Exchange helped us achieve this goal.
  • Mail Deliverability
  • SMTP Server Reliability
  • Support for Mobile devices
  • Could have better spam filtering.
  • Better Security.
  • Be more modern, without going to the cloud.
I would only recommend Exchange Server is on-premise email storage is absolutely necessary. For new companies looking for email hosting, I would go for Microsoft 365 instead. Exchange Server has lost any reputation for being secure in the past few years, and without a managed team, in-house or consultant, I don't think it's a good fit due to its maintenance requirements. It is NOT a set it and forgets it application. It needs backups configured, those need to be tested, it needs extra spam filtering software in my opinion, and it needs constant security patches.

Microsoft Exchange was intended for ideal security and protection, with an assortment of elements at both the server and letter drop level. Microsoft Exchange Server utilizes Kerberos verification, an organization security convention that gives shared validation to an organization association. Extra security convention support incorporates Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME), empowering clients to carefully sign and encode messages and connections or to get to their letter drops safely, without a VPN association, while working external organization firewalls.

Microsoft Exchange is our corporate email communications system of choice. Allows our multinational workforce to communicate seamlessly and share files of all types. It also integrates well with all other Microsoft products, particularly the Teams application. Simply put it is the gold standard for email platforms.
  • Ease of management
  • Active Directory Integration
  • Great security features
  • Easy mailbox management
  • User comfort and familiarity are unmatched
  • Would love to be able to shrink database size.

Exchange is our email and calendar system in our company. It's an essential piece for our employees to communicate, and an extremely important piece for IT, security, and compliance to manage communication within our company. We utilize Microsoft Exchange to store email and events, all inside of the M365 cloud family.
  • Managing emails to our users
  • Managing invites to our users
  • Message tracing
  • Inbox management
  • Admin center needs work, in my opinion it lacks key functions such as advanced message tracing.
  • Admin center phishing mitigation, currently this is locked behind defender.
  • A better shared mailbox experience. Once more users have them, it breaks down.
Microsoft Exchange is one of the most key functions a business could use if they choose to go with the Microsoft stack. Most organizations will naturally use this if they are in the M365 stack, and I recommend using the cloud version of Outlook as it has the exchange backend. Exchange is a great system due to its reliability and ease of use between platforms.

Used for Corporate messaging, private-label email domains for partners, custom mail handling, and responding in a hybrid cloud/on-prem landscape. Exchange solved several business problems involved around brand continuity, automated customer communications, mail routing and rule-based handling, threat recognition training, and DKIM signaturing. Our scope was all corporate users, as well as most of our portfolio of 30+ house-owned brands and partners, handling all aspects of partners' email messaging for clients.
  • Operational stability of migrating on-prem to cloud
  • Database resiliency and robustness
  • Robust message tracking
  • Reclaiming of Database 'whitespace'
  • Native DKIM and SPF creation wizards (non third party)
  • More robust and more granular Transport Rule programming
Microsoft Exchange is very well suited for industries with legal or regulatory messaging preservation requirements with the (historically) eDiscovery and legal holds functions. Companies needing a lot of mailboxes and resources with very few admins with limited experience with SMTP and messaging would do well to employ Exchange because of the readily available online resources and approachable interface and concepts.

I use this software to manage my corporate email accounts and calendars as well as my team's calendars. My responsibilities correspond to the management processes of many people with chronological actions between them, so the tasks coordinated from the email are a great tool that allows me to do a better follow-up.
  • Email management
  • Managing shared calendars
  • Task and topic tracking
  • Integration with cloud documents
In the field of coordinating agendas, and meetings, and following up on topics of conversation by searching for emails, it is excellent. The way of joining emails in the same conversation facilitates the search when you only remember one part of that conversation. It could improve its integration with OneNote and teams which sometimes feel like 3 completely separate worlds unless you really try, like including notes from a meeting or exporting a OneNote page to email.

I use Microsoft Exchange every day to manage emails and other Microsoft apps. Exchange helps me keep everything I need in order and greatly increases my productivity with its ease of use and ability to send group notifications. I love the ability to sync throughout the apps I use and send emails with just a couple of clicks. I can send things to OneNote, Teams, SharePoint, etc. Exchange really makes my life much easier without having to use multiple programs.
  • Sharing files
  • Group notifications
  • Messaging
  • More plugins would be great
  • Advanced task management
  • Sharing with others outside my organization
Microsoft Exchange is perfect when working from home/remotely, any office position where it's necessary to inform multiple people of the same thing. Anyone who manages multiple people/appointments/projects would greatly benefit from all of the features Exchange has to offer. File sharing is so easy and fast with Microsoft Exchange, anyone who collaborates professionally with others will love the program.

We currently use it as the primary tool to manage all our email addresses, distribution lists and shared mailboxes in our organization. When our parent company bought us, it helped manage all the migrated mailboxes from our Lime Energy Tenant to their own tenant. We have a hybrid setup where we have a local Microsoft Exchange that syncs to the cloud and also syncs to our On-Premise Active Directory. This serves as the central management of mailboxes etc.
  • Ease of Mailbox Management
  • Ease of managing all Shared mailboxes and Distribution list
  • Great to to manage Exchange Global Rules and Alerts
  • Page Load times
This is well suited if you need to check the status of newly created mailboxes, converting mailboxes to a shared mailbox, managing distribution lists.

We use Microsoft exchange to handle our inter-email communications and meetings/events calendar. We create distribution lists for different departments and teams to share regular communications and file sharing. Exchange makes it accessible to work with email accounts from different workspaces to include remote or at different work sites.
  • Email server
  • Calendar events organizing
  • Dissemination to distribution lists
  • Email organization by category or importance
  • Automated distributions
  • Combining calendar events with other platform resources
  • Needs more organization concepts
Microsoft exchange is well suited for corporate communications on the general scale and standard calendar event planning for any employee's schedule. However, it is not as well suited for small group or teams specific communications to support file sharing and resource management. Some event management features are cumbersome and difficult to work with.
