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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When setting up a meeting or calendar sharing to see when other members are free or available, we utilize Microsoft Exchange for our daily work email. Also, we use it to keep track of our project-related discussions and to exchange papers with other members of the company. If you're looking for a way to get to know other members of the community, Microsoft Exchange is a fantastic place to start. It saves a lot of paper since you don't have to print everything, and the information is easy to access.

I have been using different email servers including those from Google, Rediffmail, and Microsoft. I found Microsoft Exchange to be the most intuitive and feature-rich platform. Its products ranging from email to calendar and other avenues make it a great all-in-one suite. It's secure with 2FA and recovery codes, doesn't lag, and rarely has downtime.

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.

A more formal means of communication. Search for contacts and previous emails in a simple way. It adapts to your work style so that you improve your productivity. You will have your emails, calendars, and contact information. A calendar system that goes beyond the classic programming. You can capture mail events.

I have used Microsoft Exchange for many years in numerous organizations. In an ever-changing business landscape and in an incredibly crowded field, Microsoft Exchange has consistently delivered, especially for remote employees. During long periods of remote work (especially at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic) Microsoft Exchange ensured that our calendars, emails, and documents were shared seamlessly. This was especially useful when collaborating on projects.

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.

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.

We use Microsoft Exchange for our email and calendar functionality. Over the years we've evolved from hosting our own Exchange servers to using third party vendors. We use it primarily so that our email and calendars can be centralized and accessed from any of our devices.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We have a virtual machine running exchange and it is our email server. The scope of our use case is that this mail server is where all mailboxes are stored for end users in this hospital. The mail server is able to solve problems such as not being able to email many users at once, exchange resolves this issue by allowing us to create distribution groups, so if I email one distribution group many people will get that email if they are in the group. We have a hybrid exchange environment where some mailboxes are on the cloud but most on-prem using Microsoft Exchange.
