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.

We evaluated the potential for O365 but found that the 5-year TCO for an organization our size made on-prem Exchange the better option.
I would not change my process.

Change management was minimal
Because there were minimal changes, there were no takeaways.
  • Conversion
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.
  • No Training
It was not difficult. If you are a day-to-day administrator, I would recommend some formalized training.
I feel the configurability is about right and that will not change as Microsoft is pushing everyone to the cloud.
I don't have any specific recommendation but there are a ton of best practice documents on the internet.
No - we have not done any customization to the interface
No - we have not done any custom code
About the only customization we did was to brand the OWA page.

We use it primarily for email services; however, it does get used for creating documents, spreadsheets, storage, etc. There are some difficulties with using Word, Excel, and Powerpoint since this is a cloud-based program. You have to save everything to the cloud storage, which is good to free up the computer/server storage, but it does create some more steps to be able to download and save these documents on an actual computer.
  • Access to email services
  • Teams
  • Keeps documents off your computer or server and freeing up space
  • May be more secure
  • when saving a document, it would be nice to have the ability to save in the cloud and on a computer at the same time if so desired
  • ease of downloading documents to a computer
  • not having to have anything encrypted when downloading documents
Definitely well suited for email services. It is easily accessible; however, it does take several windows to go through to get to your email. We also have it set up for a finite amount of storage, so you have to stay on top of what you want to keep and what to delete.

Microsoft Exchange is our choice for our messaging platform. It is utilized by the entire organization (approx 45,000 seats). Microsoft Exchange provides a platform for communication as well as file sharing and collaboration. It also provides calendaring, contact management, task management, and notes management.
  • Calendaring - Exchange is great at managing meetings and appointments. It provides the ability to look at attendees' free/busy data so you can effectively plan meetings based on many busy schedules.
  • Web mail interface is easy to navigate and provides users with a rich experience. Many users do not require a fat client.
  • Mobility - Exchange provides the ability to synchronize your mobile devices with your account so you can easily take your mailbox with you.
  • Updating the environment can be cumbersome. As your environment grows the amount of time required to patch or update can be challenging.
  • Calendar corruption, we have experienced challenges with calendars staying sync' between mobile devices. Meeting corruption can be difficult to clean up.
Microsoft Exchange is an enterprise messaging solution. For smaller organizations this may be too much and they may not have the necessary resources to effectively administer the solution.
  • Increased employee efficiency
  • Mobility
  • Message archival
Have used Exchange since Exchange 5.5 (1999)
