Microsoft Exchange Online Reviews

Office 365 is one of the strongest solutions that I've seen. In my mind, it will change the whole world in the way servers are used. It provides stability for every organization, especially small & mid-sized.

One of the solutions of Office 365 is Exchange Online:

Exchange Online is part of the Office 365 family. It provides a lot of features, but the most important one to me is that it's always available, meaning I have no maintenance headaches. It's available 99% of the time, which means that downtime is less than a half hour per year -- which is awesome for any organization. From my experience, Exchange Online is very stable, there's never downtime, and users are satisfied with the 50 GB mailbox they each get (useful for when they, for example, forget to delete emails or something like that). They can also just connect via internet and they will be up and running. Also, while the migration is neither difficult nor easy, it's a nice feature. The option to stay with hybrid with Exchange premium is good too because that if I don't have enough money to extend my users, I can still stick with the free version.

• storage capacity
• updates

We have users in our company and we wanted to see if we change from the older 2010 version, how it is functioning with the new users. Once we did so, we decided to change to Microsoft Exchange Online.

It is pretty good, and user friendly. I am very happy with the VUI, and the admins here are happy with the administrative control.

Exchange remains slow for us. In addition, in terms of machine controls, it was very confusing, and some of the administrative parts will be done from the control, but in online writing mostly we can handle everything.

Three to five years.

I have no issues with stability of the Microsoft Exchange product.

I have no issues with scalability of the Microsoft Exchange product.

The tech support was very helpful.

The initial setup was good. Initially, we had a hard time with installing the hybrid environment online, but we contacted the Microsoft technicians, and they helped us through it.

Our primary use case is for a mailing solution. It is an amazing solution that we have been using for quite some time.

The management is very simple, using Exchange Online. So basically you just start a license. So that way, management is very simple.

Its most valuable feature is the unlimited storage. It also has very little downtime. In addition, there is a lot of security which comes with this product. I do not think of integration of anything without this solution. 

There is still room for improvement. 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. 

More than five years.

I have not experienced any issues with stability of the solution.

I have not experienced any issues with the scalability of the solution. 

I think the tech support was very good. There are different types of support provided. We had some recent issues regarding anti-spam. 

We upgraded from earlier versions of Exchange to the current Exchange Online. We noticed that the last version had a limitation of data storage. With the current Exchange Online, if I have a license, I can have unlimited storage. So, I do not have to worry about anything, and I can keep all of the emails on the cloud, accessible from all of my devices. It is also a welcome integration with all Microsoft Suite products. This is a nice added advantage.

The initial setup was not that complex. If you have experience with Microsoft Exchange, then the setup of Microsoft Exchange Online is still fairly straightforward.

I think it is a very manageable and reasonable solution. There are different licensing agreements that you can choose, according to your company's needs. In general, I think this is a pretty reasonable solution.

We started with Exchange, so we did not look at other solutions. 

Exchange Online is the best solution currently available in the market. And we see from our experience that people are moving from different mailing solutions to Exchange Online. It works very well with your Microsoft Suite of products such as : Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.

• 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.

One to three years.

The main use for Microsoft Exchange Online is to work remotely. 

It allows us to work from home, at any time or anywhere.

The integration could be better if it could integrate well with other products and software.

I have been using  Microsoft Exchange Online for a couple of years.

We are using the latest version.

It's a stable product. We have no issues with the stability of Microsoft Exchange Online.

Microsoft Exchange Online is a scalable solution.

We have 350 users in our organization.

I don't have any issues with the technical support. They are good.

Previously, I was using Outlook.

I was not involved in the installation.

We have a team of four or five admins to maintain and deploy this solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

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

Public Cloud

Intuitive in how to use. Organized so that all thread based and author based communications can be found easily.

Encourages endless inefficient communications. Do not recommend it for companies that are trying to create efficient decision making processes and agile movement.

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.

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.
