Microsoft Exchange Reviews

We are using Microsoft Exchange for internal communication between teams.

Microsoft Exchange has helped our company stay organized in the workplace, it makes time more efficient.

The most valuable features of Microsoft Exchange are its ease of use, and simplicity of communication, and we can track communications between teams.

Microsoft Exchange could improve the price.

I have been using Microsoft Exchange for approximately 10 years.

Microsoft Exchange is stable.

I have found Microsoft Exchange scalable.

We have approximately 250 users using this solution.

I have not contacted support from Microsoft.

I have not used another solution previously. 

The initial setup of Microsoft Exchange is straightforward. It did not take a lot of time.

We have two to three people for the maintenance or support of Microsoft Exchange

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

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Exchange an eight out of ten.

I mainly use Exchange for exchanging emails.

The best features are that Exchange is very customer-friendly, its interface is self-explanatory, it doesn't hang, and it keeps evolving.

An improvement would be to combine Exchange and Teams so that emails, calls, and chats can be integrated into one window.

I've been using this solution for a few years.

Exchange is stable.

I would recommend Exchange to those considering using it, and I'd rate it nine out of ten.

Exchange's interface is good. All of our engineers like it and are accustomed to using it.

The main problem with Microsoft products is that we're constantly required to install patches and fixes. In fact, Microsoft frequently publishes, which is in itself a guarantee of quality, security updates especially for the OS that we are forced to apply. The problem is, this causes us to do a lot of testing before we go into production to make sure that our systems continue to function properly.

I've worked as an administrator of Microsoft Exchange for five years.

We haven't identified any serious problems with Exchange.

We have always used Exchange. That's a strategic choice for our company. We are confident in Microsoft because their support is always there for us.

The setup was easy. When we first deployed Exchange, we had some guidance from Microsoft, but now our engineers use it effortlessly. 

I rate Microsoft Exchange eight out of 10. I hope Microsoft will continue to support the on-premises versions of their products because they are increasingly orienting themselves toward Exchange in the cloud. Unfortunately, cloud services are unavailable here in Nigeria.

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

The calendar integration in Exchange is not that great. The email features are okay, but it doesn't integrate well with the calendar and appointments, especially Zoom appointments. It integrates fine with Microsoft Teams, but Zoom is a challenge. 

Maybe the problems with integration are Apple's fault. The calendar doesn't integrate well with Apple's iOS. When I make appointments in Outlook, they don't necessarily transfer to the Apple Watch or the iPhone. If a meeting is canceled or rescheduled, it doesn't pick up at all. It's still showing appointments that were canceled months ago. 

I've been using Microsoft Exchange for seven or eight years.

Microsoft Exchange's stability is okay. I'm about the jinx it, but it seems fine. I'm not really having problems with it, and I've got over 200,000 emails.

I've contacted Microsoft support. They're overseas in India, I think. They usually solve the problem but not quickly. Sometimes it takes a while. I even let them access the computer remotely, and they do whatever. I would rate them average. They're okay but not great. It takes more time than necessary, it seems.

I still use Gmail, but I don't use it much. I'm not that impressed. Gmail isn't robust enough. I use the integrated mailbox for iPhone. It's okay but not great. Outlook is the best, but it could be better.

I pay about $100 for a license, but I'm a single owner.

I'd rate Exchange seven out of 10. It has challenges with integration, whether it be through Android or Apple. We've been heavily using Zoom and Microsoft Teams this year, and that hasn't been great. It's passable. At the same time, I would give iOS Mail only a five or six, but then again, it's straightforward. It doesn't propose to do much else. The nice thing about iOS Mail is that you don't have to sift through different accounts. They all come up in the sandbox, which is cool. That's helpful for work.

If you're using Microsoft Exchange, make sure you have technical support. You need someone to call if you have problems. I pay for a technical support license from Microsoft. 

We use Exchange for email services and collaboration services.

It's an excellent product from Microsoft. It provides more flexibility to the end-users. As it's connected with Teams, it also enables collaboration. You can share documents through emails and more. There are lots of features, and it's very user-friendly.

From a security perspective, Microsft Exchange can be improved. All that needs to be added is security, but that's an internal hierarchical problem from the product itself and not the end-users.

I have been using Microsoft Exchange for about ten years.

There are some limitations when it comes to scalability, but Microsoft always continues to improve it. Now I'm serving more than 2,000 users, and I think my company serves about 10,000 users.

Technical support is good.

The initial setup is straightforward for the small use cases. Each case is different, but for the most part, it's almost straightforward. 

Microsoft doesn't have a unit price, it's based on the quantity, and they offer great discounts.

I would advise potential users to go with Exchange. Exchange Online is also very similar to Office 365.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Microsoft Exchange a nine.

I use the product to send emails and communicate with users and clients.

Communication is the most valuable feature of the solution. It's a good solution. We can use it without any problem. It's useful for every company, whether small or large.

The support needs to be more knowledgeable. The support's answers are sometimes wrong, and they do not solve our problems. We have to find a workaround when we do not receive the solution.

I have been using the solution for three years.

The solution’s stability is fine. We face some bugs sometimes. I rate the stability a nine out of ten.

The scalability is fine. In our organization, 1000 employees use the solution.

We need two technical people, two managers, and seven first-level support employees to deploy the solution.

We pay a yearly license fee for the solution. The product is quite cheap.

Overall, I rate the solution a ten on ten.

The mobile version of exchange keeps getting better as the product develops and synchronizes with today's latest mobile hardware. Security wise this gives local administrators control over these devices if stolen or lost. 

The Exchange Toolbox comes with many useful tools for exchange administrators including Message Tracking, Tracking Log Explorer, and many more. Exchange really shines by allowing third party apps to manage and integrate with many software's geared towards the Outlook environment. 

Exchange is an ever growing environment that will always have stronghold in the world of communicating and organizing information that is reliable.

I would have to say the biggest improvement is communication. Communication is a big factor in any business. Email allows us to have history on communication and real time communications. Shared calendars are a great way to reserve rooms and share your meetings with team members. Distribution groups are becoming more popular for group communication. Outlook/Exchange creates a very open environment for communications and archiving information when needed. Exchange is a ever growing application that will only get better over time and will evolve and adapt to our everyday communications needs now and in the future.

The issue with Exchange has always been storage. Users by nature do not like to delete anything and it shows. So we have to create local polices to counter this issue and possibly 3rd party software to properly manage archiving for the users. We also are looking into upgrading the Exchange environment in 2016/2017. This would be an improvement overall as Microsoft latest release was in 2013 and we are still on version 2010. This would also give our environment improvement as we are building a new Exchange environment from scratch with a Microsoft partner.

We've had no issues deploying it.

We've had no issues with stability.

We've had no issues with scalability.

I use it as a customer, and I also do implementations for my customers. I mostly go with hybrid deployments.

It gives me benefit in terms of integration with other services such as SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, and OneDrive. It makes my work much easier.

There are limitations in terms of the number of emails that can be sent in a minute, which makes it a little difficult for the marketing folks.

The products or the updates that come in are more frequent. If I want to move from Exchange on-prem to Exchange Online, there are prerequisites that need to be met. They always have prerequisites for the latest one, but not all customers will have the latest infra. They might have a six or three months old version, but the expectation is the latest one. This prerequisite is a little inconvenient for those customers who wish to migrate to the cloud.

The response time of their support can be improved. 

I have been using this solution for seven to eight years.

I have not contacted them recently. I used to contact them four or five years ago. I would rate them a four out of five. One point is for the delay in their response. 

It depends on the organization. If it is an SME, it is going to be straightforward. If it is an enterprise, it is going to be complex.

Its price is fair.

I will recommend others to go with the complete suite instead of going for just Exchange. If they go with Office 365, which is a bundled service, they will get more flexibility and collaborative workspace. It will enable their users to work without moving around the apps.

I would rate Microsoft Exchange an eight out of 10. Obviously, not everything is 100% satisfactory, but there are a lot of improvements happening.
