Hesham Hussain - PeerSpot reviewer
A good solution for large enterprises, but is expensive when compared to other solutions
Regarding the decision of increasing the number of users, it depends on the organization's choice, whether to opt for CapEx or OpEx. Both options involve expenses over the years. Building an in-house Exchange solution requires investing in hardware, storage, connectivity, and administrative resources. Office 365 shifts the budget solely to OpEx as a subscription service. Scalability is another factor. Starting a new company favors Office 365 due to cost efficiency. As the organization grows, the choice depends on available resources and technical expertise. An internal Exchange setup is feasible with skilled engineers, while Office 365 suits those lacking in-house resources.

Email triage solution that actions and handles emails based on preferences
Superhuman could be improved by being made available across a broader range of devices including Android and Windows PCs. Superhuman is also a phone app, which is available only on DiOS right now. Because it's not available on Android, you have to use Gmail for your phone, and use Superhuman for your desktop. The search feature could be improved. Currently, Gmail search is a lot more robust because you can filter results based on your requirements. Superhuman does not offer this way of searching which can make emails difficult to find.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Exchange is its communication capabilities."
"The integration of Microsoft Exchange with other tools allows for seamless collaboration and increased productivity within teams."
"Microsoft has a very good support team."
"The best features are that Exchange is very customer-friendly, its interface is self-explanatory, it doesn't hang, and it keeps evolving."
"The setup was straightforward."
"It is user friendly."
"It's so much of a part of what I do every day that I don't give it a lot of thought. It just works, for the most part, until it doesn't, in which case I call tech support."
"Now, we manage to serve almost 99% of the information."
"The best feature about Superhuman is the fact that you don't have to manually go through your emails. This solution segregates your email according to your preferences and how you want to categorize emails."
"It is fast, and it increases your productivity."
 

Cons

"I think it could be more scalable."
"They could offer simultaneous features for Exchange Online and on-premises versions. Specific features such as litigation hold and audit setups should be available on-premises."
"I would like to see the search capability of the Outlook client improved"
"Sometimes the client part generates some trouble. It can be very slow, though this might be related to our company's installation and configuration rather than the product itself."
"From a reliability perspective, they need to improve the search engine, it is not very powerful."
"In terms of probability, every now and then there are changes coming and going. The changes are not that frequent because every month they got updates back, so that is an issue."
"Microsoft Exchange is highly stable. However, after receiving some updates it can be unstable."
"They could improve on the search function, it takes too much time."
"Superhuman could be improved by being made available across a broader range of devices including Android and Windows PCs."
"It can have a few more integrations. As far as I know, it is being integrated with Salesforce."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform has a reasonable price."
"Its price is fair."
"They are flexible when it comes to pricing, unlike most of the other vendors I have dealt with."
"I rate Microsoft Exchange's pricing a six out of ten."
"The solution is expensive to maintain because it requires frequent updates and ongoing server maintenance."
"The product pricing is reasonable if you utilize its full suite of features."
"Since my company is on Microsoft Cloud, we pay for the licenses per user. Compared to volume licensing, I would say the present licensing cost is not expensive."
"The price of Microsoft Exchange could improve. In Egypt, the price keeps increasing."
"It is fairly expensive. They have monthly and yearly licensing options."
