Microsoft Exchange Online Reviews

Having the solution on the cloud has alleviated the need to have hardware on-premises. I no longer have to deal with the expense of power usage and the hardware taking up space. It is much better for us, we can now focus more on the business instead of our assets.

I have found the interface to be user-friendly and the overall simplicity valuable features.

The solution should have a stand-alone application instead of us having to go through an internet browser.

I have been using this solution for approximately five years.

The solution is stable.

In my experience Microsoft Exchange Online is scalable. We have approximately 10 people using this solution in my organization.

We have three technicians that do the deployment and maintenance for the solution.

There is a license required for the solution and it is paid annually.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Exchange Online an eight out of ten. 

I have been using the solution for 5 years. 

There is only one use case for our clients, we sell the solution to clients that can not afford to build on-site data centers and therefore they need an online solution.

The solution we have found it to stable.

The solution is scalable.

The price of the solution could be less expensive.

I recommend the product and we plan to continue selling it in the future.

I rate Microsoft Exchange Online eight out of ten.

We use this solution for planning tasks. We need to upgrade 5,000 computers and we have to assign that to several different teams of people. As the tasks are completed, we are expecting updates regarding the status and other relevant information.

We are not very happy with this product.

The most valuable feature is being able to assign an individual a task. 

This product is too complex to use.

It could be more streamlined because it offers an overabundance of features. It's simultaneously offering you to do 10 different things and it's confusing as to what we should do first.

I have been using Microsoft Exchange Online for about two years.

We have had no issues with stability.

We have a couple of thousand users. 

The initial setup is pretty simple.

We have an enterprise agreement for licensing.

I would rate this solution a five out of ten.

I just use it for email and scheduling work within a team.

It is for emails, and it seems to work okay. 

I don't like it in general. It sort of has that Microsoft flavor to it, which is just the style they use and the way they color things and lay them out. 

I have been using Microsoft Exchange Online for seven months.

It is stable. I don't recall any downtime.

It is scalable. We have probably hundreds of users. My immediate group has 10 users, and the larger group has 50 users.

They seem okay.

The initial setup is pretty much straightforward. They are full of secure-everything. They want your password again after a couple of weeks. Everybody has to be security safe, so, of course, that's why they do it.

I would recommend investing in support. None of these systems are plug and play.

I would rate Microsoft Exchange Online a seven out of ten.

In terms of mail, it is on the cloud and there is a lot of dependency on the internal server, which is not exactly great. 

The online version is faster, as it is a cloud instance. We can have massive mailbox capacity: 100 GB per user, which is huge. We can't provision such capacity internally, as the company would get burnt out paying for mailbox storage. You have no idea how relieved the Fortune 500 company mail admins were with this.

The onboard anti-spam is pretty good. Therefore, you do not need to invest in an additional anti-spam product. If needed, invest in an anti-malware solution, specifically for weeding out damage at the email level. 

It has massive storage capacity with 100 GB per user mailbox.

I would prefer an anti-malware functionality in at least the basic version.

I have deployed Office 365 and migrated my on-premise version to the cloud. Though I was a bit skeptical to move when money and backup functionality came into picture, the migration started to gain momentum. It has been more than four years since we started to use it.

There is no server downtime. It never runs out of mechanical resources as it is the cloud version.

My primary use of this solution is for emailing and for the e-calendar.

I cannot see anything that needs room for improvement at this time.

I have not had issues with the stability of the product.

Regarding scalability, we initially did have some issues with scalability. We have 150 people using the product.

Tech support is a challenge at times. They take a long time to respond. Sometimes we have to wait two to three days for a response. They do help, at that point, but the response time is slow.

The initial setup was not complex. There was a learning curve, but we overcame the challenge. We used the Microsoft website to help us with our questions.

The pricing is a bit more expensive than other solutions.

We also have entities that use G Suite, and we have noticed that it is much smoother. We also considered IBM products, but we did not truly consider that as an option because of our Active Directory.

I would like to let new users know that there are challenges regarding user provisioning, HRMS and the AD. Also, the data migration integrity needs to be checked in terms of the old data.

• A lot of mobile workers, and all well-known workers with Microsoft Outlook
• Using Microsoft Exchange is the easiest way to sync with Outlook.

Now we move to opex, but the problem is, the cost is more expensive than other online email solutions.

We are using E3, but actually, users only use email and not Teams because they are not familiar with Teams.

• Microsoft Teams, and anti-spam, because a lot of spam still comes from outside
• Create the easiest tools to migrate from other email solutions.

I have found that Exchange Online is a wonderful product with good capabilities to manage the administration of my business.

I have found that Microsoft has vulnerabilities when it comes to Exchange Online. It has become the port of a lot of hacker attacks. We investigated the issue, and opened a ticket and the support told us to upgrade from E3 to E5. We upgraded, but we found ourselves still being attacked daily.

In addition, I cannot see good reporting tools. The vulnerability in security is in dire need of improvement. If anyone has a username or a password of an admin, you can access and then go live for everything. Microsoft suggests a two-factor authentication to resolve the issue. But, it is not always helpful. 

It is a scalable product. We are using it for 500 users at present. It is a sizeable network.

The tech support is good. If I have issues, they respond within an hour of my call. They are generally knowledgeable and provide solutions.

The setup was easy, and took only an hour. 

This solution really does save us a lot of time. And, we saved a significant amount of money by using this service. 

We have a license per user scenario.

We have looked at FireEye and Dynatrace as possible other options for protection. We also considered Trend Micro for sandbox protection.
