"The product is used very extensively in my company since we have around 1,500 users using it. Also, there is no requirement for any administrators to manage the product by the people who own the solution."

"The most valuable feature of IceWarp is the chat rooms and file-sharing, they are useful. It is convenient that everything is in one place. You can easily share and collaborate documents, making the program's unity a significant advantage."

"It's scalable and stable."

"The TeamChat feature has been really good for our email management. It lets us collaborate, share files, and invite guests like Google Spaces or Microsoft Teams. I like the two-factor authentication for security. However, they need to improve their document collaboration tools, as their Word, Excel, and PowerPoint features are basic compared to Microsoft and Google."

"The solution's voice services work well for our company."

"The solution has a very good log-in to the UI when compared to other solutions."

"It has great communication capabilities for team chatting and web conferences."

"Support should be improved. Most of the time, the queries are not resolved within the SLA."

"With multiple databases for VOIP, chat and web IMAP, maintenance is cumbersome."

"The solution needs improvements in security, particularly regarding document management."

"Our customers sometimes have problems receiving mail."

"It is difficult to disable user rights on the console so some users accidentally delete their documents or user details."

"My personal issue with using OfficeSuite and the Exchange Server is that one has to cobble together a whole bunch of different applications. Therefore, a lot of scripting and programming knowledge is necessary."

"There is an annual enterprise subscription could improve by having more features."

"Microsoft Exchange Online could improve the management usage, it should be more user-friendly."

"The problem with Exchange is that the attributes aren't flexible enough. I'd like to see more interaction with Office 365 and tighter integration between on-prem Exchange and Exchange Online. There's still a disconnect between mailboxes and the cloud."

"The SaaS platform performance could be improved. At a previous company, we used this same solution on-premises. The data exchange was much faster compared to the SaaS platform and we sometimes experience lags."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"This is an affordable solution but the price could be improved."

"I don't see any challenges for the Indian market. For example, 1 GB is available for around 399 INR, and 2 GB for 499 INR. They offer a range of plans, from basic to professional and enterprise, with multiple features. IceWarp's aggressive pricing is competitive compared to other market solutions like Zoho and Microsoft. One significant advantage is that IceWarp does not impose user capping like Google and Microsoft, which allows for substantial cost savings and flexibility in user conversion."

"The solution is priced well."

"There are various licensing plans available based on geographic zone."

"Our licensing is on a yearly basis. There were no additional costs."

"Pricing and licensing is very competitive and in some cases, cheap."

"I would rate the pricing and eight out of ten."

"The solution is inexpensive which is its main benefit."

"The license is based on the number of users."

"The license for the solution is cheap, but it could be more affordable in the long term."

"Microsoft solutions are expensive."

"There is an annual enterprise subscription to use Microsoft Exchange Online. The price is reasonable."

"The cost of Microsoft Exchange Online is approximately $4 to $36 per user. They do not give a discount which is not good. The solution is expensive if you have 800 to 1,000 users. They should give discounts when you have a lot of users."

"The pricing for Microsoft Exchange Online is quite reasonable, in my opinion. Many licensing options are available so that we can choose based on the customer's needs. For example, if a customer only requires mailbox features, we can recommend Plan One or Plan 2. We can suggest an E3 or E5 license if they need the entire Office suite. There are also premium subscriptions for enterprise customers, offering additional security features. Overall, I don't find the pricing costly because Microsoft provides many features and security capabilities, making it reliable for all customers, depending on their requirements."

"Microsoft Exchange Online is an affordable solution."

"The solution's pricing is reasonable."

"We have an enterprise agreement for licensing."
