Great features that enabled us to reduce hardware at our on-prem sites
We use this solution to reduce the use of our old classic server storage infrastructure and replace it with hyperconverged infrastructure. I'm the IT team head of infrastructure EEMEA Choosing this solution was one of the best things we've done in years. We changed to SimpliVity because of its…

Offers good user interface and seamlessly integrates with other Microsoft services
I like its user interface. I don't struggle or face any challenges while using it. The design interface is simple. I haven't had any trouble managing it for a long time. Even if I encounter a challenge or two, I can always reach out to Microsoft for help. So, overall, it's been a very positive experience. Having everything under one account was valuable. I just had to go through cybersecurity for licensing and download everything. With one account, you can download Office and use Online features directly from your Exchange. There are security solutions in place, and we take customer data very seriously. For example, if I accidentally create a forwarding rule or send an email with an image attached, I get a notification immediately. Compliance-wise, it's quite good online. We can do many things. Even if I can't click on something or upload a specific file type, it'll still be stored for compliance or investigation purposes. So, subscribing to these features. The benefits are widespread and effective communication. We use Microsoft Teams for meetings within and outside our organization. Additionally, Teams can be used for chat, allowing us to track communication and see user activity. Those are the key points that have proven to be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution offers great features."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Exchange Online is if you have people that are geographically distributed from each other is good. For example, if you have people in the United States, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, having an online solution works best because then you can reach the scale of the data centers that are available by Microsoft. Additionally, if you're only going to have two to three people using the solution the cost is a lot less than having an onsite server and licensing. It is highly beneficial in these areas."
"Exchange Online's most valuable features are two-step verification and security."
"Exchange Online's best feature is its webmail platform."
"One of the important features is the collaboration tool used in Office 365. The security and DLP mechanisms are also quite good."
"It's not hard to set up."
"It is a stable, and highly scalable product."
"The solution is easy to use and the cloud version has taken a lot of challenges away from the user."
"What I like about Microsoft Exchange Online is that it's a very convenient solution because it's part of the Microsoft business suite. This is the first email service I've used that lasted for many years, and I'm still using it because it's very convenient and it's suitable for my needs. Microsoft Exchange Online is the best product in the world for me because I don't remember any other service that's so well-accepted."
 

Cons

"NVMe support is lacking when it comes to performance on the disk side."
"The solution must provide better security features."
"Improving the methods for inputting email signatures could be beneficial for the product."
"The price could be an area of concern for many."
"For example, recently there were some spam incidents that Microsoft does not currently mitigate because they have another paid solution to do so. It would be nice to integrate the security and the anti-spam (i.e. the fake links, etc.) along with the Exchange Online default."
"I feel that there is a need for improvement in the product, considering that there are some concerns with the tool's integration capabilities."
"We'd like to have the ability to recall emails on the web. I'm not sure if that is available yet."
"Microsoft Exchange Online could improve the management usage, it should be more user-friendly."
"In the next release, I would like to see more features added to the security of the solution."
