Exclaimer Cloud - Signatures for Office 365

Overall Satisfaction with Exclaimer

We use Exclaimer to apply signatures to all of our users. We have multiple designs for different groups of users (Sales, Marketing, Production etc...) and multiple different designs that apply according to events set out by our marketing department

Before Exclaimer there was no central signatures and users would add their own, not following the company image. Exclaimer has allowed us to centrally manage this and improve our branding.
  • Centrally manage email signatures
  • Ease of design and felxibility
  • Reliability
  • Excellent support when needed
  • A calendar to clearly show planned signatures
  • An app for changing when mobile
  • A way to trace emails to trouble shoot any rare issues
  • Centrally managed - saving time having to manually create signatures on each users outlook account
  • Marketing - has allowed us to push marketing campaigns for different user groups effortlessly
  • Brand - has ensured all users are compliant with the companies brand
Exclaimer has allowed us the flexibility to schedule multiple different marketing campaigns. Our sales department now cover 3 different ranges within the group - we can schedule different signatures depending on the sales reps current sales campaign.

We also now have the flexibility to add holiday and shutdown opening times to make customers aware, this has proved very successful

The ease to create a new signature within the new editor has been a welcome addition
When looking at available email signature providers, Exclaimer was the only one at the time to openly provide details of where our data is stored. This proved a large deciding factor on using Exclaimer

The guides provided at setup to securely link Exclaimer to Office 365 with all correct rules etc.. for security also made the roll out very easy
We tested CodeTwo alongside Exclaimer. We went with Exclaimer for the much easier to use editor, the support for setting up the first template and how open they were with data security.

They also provided much simpler guidance to initially setup the integration into office365 and gave an all together simpler trial

Evaluating Exclaimer and Competitors

  • Cloud Solutions
  • Integration with Other Systems
  • Ease of Use
Ease of use was the most important - we wanted something that can be centrally managed, scheduled and easily updates without too much work
Look at some more solutions - but Exclaimer offered all we needed so didn't have a need to look further

Exclaimer Implementation

Ensure the documentation you follow is the latest version as Office 365 changes often
Change management was minimal
  • We had zero issues during implementation. The guides walked you through office 365 integration perfectly

Exclaimer Support

Support has always been excellent - from initial setup and help with the first template to all small questions along the way, support has always been prompt and fixed any issues in a very reasonable time frame

We had a very odd issue with some signatures not applying after an update - the support team found a rule issue promptly and advised us how to fix it without compromising security

We have the standard support package - this has provided all the support we have ever required

We have never been left in a position where our issue has caused us to not be able to function

Support have always been friendly and willing to listen to any concerns which is getting rarer
We had templates created in the old editor - we needed a change making but could not do so as the new editor had been launched

Withing 30 minutes all our templates had been converted and we are able to then update what marketing had requested - very fast turnaround

Using Exclaimer

The new editor improved the ease of use considerably, this was a welcome improvement

The guides provided by Exclaimer have always been very accurate and helped in deployment and updating anything along the way that needed to be with regards to Office 365 integration (Update to rules etc have been done by a wizard presented to you within the console)
