Exclaimer Cloud - Signatures for Office 365

Overall Satisfaction with Exclaimer

We utilise Exclaimer Cloud to apply professional and consistent signature templates across all users, whether they send emails from their computer or mobile devices. We utilise Exclaimer's signature rules to apply different templates for new and reply/forward mails. Previously signatures were being configured by simply sharing a template and asking users to manually copy and customise it in Outlook, this led to inconsistent formatting due to lack of central management, as well as an inability to utilise that template anywhere other than Outlook. Exclaimer addresses both of these issues with the ability to centrally configure and distribute a signature template to all user's Outlook via the sync app, as well as stamping the template on emails send via mobile devices or webmail
  • Easy to use and highly customisable signature builder that seamlessly hides empty fields without ruining the formatting
  • Sync app was easy to distribute to all machines via Intune and seamlessly keeps signatures up to date in Outlook
  • Options and rules for utilising multiple templates in logical ways
  • Automatic stamping templates to emails sent from sources other than Outlook desktop software, and reflecting that in sent items
  • Responsive and helpful support team
  • Good online knowledge base with plenty of useful articles
  • Fair pricing
  • A portal to allow users to make limited amendments to the information included in their signature without being able to change the core template would be very useful. Currently, we can only offer users custom fields (e.g. working days for part-time users) via exchange custom fields managed by IT
  • Improved the company's professional image with a consistent signature format across all users
  • Reduce overhead on IT by having signatures automatically distributed and updated rather than manually configured and customised for each user
Signature builder was very easy to use, with a straightforward drag-and-drop interface and plenty of options to customise the template with finer details like tables, fonts and text padding

Testing and enabling the system was straightforward due to logical and well labelled configuration steps, and ability to limit applicability to specific user groups for testing and controlled live distribution
Different department templates were not a requirement for us, but this flexibility has enabled us to create different templates for new emails and forwards/replies, so we are only including our company logo once in any given email trail to reduce clutter

Effective and easy to implement system for a company wanting a consistent template across all users and email clients

Lack of ability to allow users any individual control over information in their signature does put onus on IT to manage everything, not an issue for a small company but for a larger company could cause an issue if there is any need for individual customisations

Exclaimer Support

I had some initial issues with the implementation so raised a support ticket, I received a response very quickly and the support personnel were diligent and quickly diagnosed it as an issue with the new portal, so I was ably to complete my implementation without further issue once switching to the legacy portal

The few times I have had questions I was unable to figure out on my own were quickly answered by either a knowledge base article or a similarly quick response to a support ticket

No, this seemed unnecessary for the scale of our implementation and I have been satisfied with the level of support I have received when needed
As previously mentioned, the support I received when I reported my initial implementation issue was very quick both on initial response and diagnosing the issue

  • Signature builder uses a very user friendly drag-and-drop interface that works from a web browser
  • Sync app seamlessly keeps signatures up to date in Outlook
  • Adding custom fields on a per-user basis requires using custom Exchange fields, which is functional but a little cumbersome
