Microsoft Exchange vs ProtonMail comparison

"Microsoft Exchange is highly stable for the end-user systems. When we move to Office 365, it will be even more stable even. There's less administration required and it's very robust. We are really quite happy in using that."

"The product can scale."

"I find Exchange's basic mail features to be highly valuable."

"The technical support is fine."

"All features are useful; they meet the purpose of an email server."

"The deployment is a plug-and-play process."

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Exchange is the email storage is on the cloud. We don't have to delete emails often."

"What I love about Microsoft Exchange is the good integration since 2013, particularly its integration with the calendar and other software such as Zoom, TeamViewer, AnyDesk, etc."

"The auto encryption of attachments is valuable."

"I think that improvements should be made in creating greater abilities for Microsoft Exchange in terms of Reasearch and Development."

"The licensing model could be improved."

"Exchange can be a little finicky, sometimes, or flakey. Last week, for example, I had gone into my calendar to check on some briefings that I had established, and then went back into my inbox, and suddenly the view had changed. I had no idea what it was that I had done, and I couldn't figure out how to get that view back. I took a productivity hit as a result of that, trying to fix it, due to the fact that it just wasn't what I wanted. It wasn't what I was used to working with. Two different tech support people had to work with me in order to get the view back to what I wanted just so I could be productive."

"We would prefer to be able to manage the solution on the cloud."

"Some users encounter stability issues. I connect with the support team through my local partner, which takes time."

"When an update wants to come, it should just come maybe once or twice rather than having us deal with constant updating."

"It's not always the finest solution in terms of integration with products that are not from Microsoft. It integrates very well with Microsoft products but not with third-party products."

"Exchange took time to be deployed. It requires extensive configuration and setting up servers and managing internal network access."

"One improvement could be the integration between ProtonMail and Proton Pass, allowing sharing of specific secrets via email."

"The price of Microsoft Exchange could improve. In Egypt, the price keeps increasing."

"It's working very well. There is no problem, but the price is not the best."

"We renew the product license with Microsoft every three years. The cost is included within a bundle of services. It's an enterprise agreement with Microsoft."

"I have Outlook 365 Professional, and Exchange comes in the bundle with other solutions, such as Word and OneDrive. I pay for the use of the bundle monthly and I can imagine if you are a company with many licenses the pricing model would be a lot different."

"This solution is expensive."

"Microsoft Exchange itself does not require a license, but users who will have mailboxes will require a license. It depends on the number of users to choose which license. If you exceed 2,000 mailboxes, it's preferable to get the enterprise license."

"The solution is expensive to maintain because it requires frequent updates and ongoing server maintenance."

"Its price is okay."
