"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Exchange Online is its ease of use."

"The initial setup is straightforward and easy to configure."

"One of the important features is the collaboration tool used in Office 365. The security and DLP mechanisms are also quite good."

"The most valuable features of Microsoft Exchange Online are spam filtering, 50 GB of email storage, good integration with Outlook, and ease of management."

"We need more functionality with Google Sheets"

"The UI could be simplified and made more user friendly."

"The stability should be addressed."

"The UI could be more graphic and sassy, but otherwise, it is quite functional."

"The solution is not user-friendly and it doesn't integrate that well with Microsoft Office, which is one of the bigger business apps on the market, compared to Google Sheets and applications of that sort."

"The cost could be improved. It can sometimes be a bit confusing figuring out how we are actually being charged."

"There are too many steps for sharing pictures."

"Sometimes, I would like to be able to use the solution offline, and I can't do so. It would be ideal if there was some sort of offline mode available."

"With multiple databases for VOIP, chat and web IMAP, maintenance is cumbersome."

"Support should be improved. Most of the time, the queries are not resolved within the SLA."

"I would like to have a trial for mobile applications and more documentation similar to Google Drive with mobile applications."

"Our customers sometimes have problems receiving mail."

"The tool's configuration capabilities are not straightforward. Apart from that, if I want to archive emails into a vault so that they can be retrieved again later, the integration doesn't work, and IceWarp crashes."

"The solution needs improvements in security, particularly regarding document management."

"Although it is not a tool, video conferencing should be scalable and operate in a professional and efficient way."

"The solution should improve the mailing list feature. Google has a similar feature where you can automate sending files to different people in a sequence, but that feature is no longer available in the current version of IceWarp. Other features may also have been removed in the current version."

"There is an annual enterprise subscription could improve by having more features."

"For non-technical people, some configurations might be a little bit difficult. We can use it on our laptops or our portable devices like mobiles and others gadgets, but we have had repeated problems with syncing.

"From an IT perspective, we need clearer documentation to understand the product’s configuration process."

"In the past, we had issues with DB in mailboxes."

"The price could be cheaper."

"Microsoft Exchange Online could improve the management usage, it should be more user-friendly."

"My personal issue with using OfficeSuite and the Exchange Server is that one has to cobble together a whole bunch of different applications. Therefore, a lot of scripting and programming knowledge is necessary."

"The mail-blocking feature is not great and could be improved."

"We pay a monthly subscription for the use of this solution."

"G Suite and Microsoft Office 365 offer products with similar functionality at several different price points. Zoho offer a more extensive range of products and attempts to provide all the applications required to run most small and medium-sized businesses."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"It's about $8.30 up a user per month."

"We pay on yearly basis."

"I rate Google Workspace's pricing five to six out of ten. We do not pay any extra costs."

"Approximately $6 per user, per month."

"The price of Google Workspace is reasonable. I pay less than 100 a month."

"The solution is inexpensive which is its main benefit."

"It is definitely one of the lowest price solutions."

"Pricing and licensing is very competitive and in some cases, cheap."

"I would rate the pricing and eight out of ten."

"Our licensing is on a yearly basis. There were no additional costs."

"There are various licensing plans available based on geographic zone."

"The license is based on the number of users."

"I don't see any challenges for the Indian market. For example, 1 GB is available for around 399 INR, and 2 GB for 499 INR. They offer a range of plans, from basic to professional and enterprise, with multiple features. IceWarp's aggressive pricing is competitive compared to other market solutions like Zoho and Microsoft. One significant advantage is that IceWarp does not impose user capping like Google and Microsoft, which allows for substantial cost savings and flexibility in user conversion."

"I think that the price is a little high, especially considering that Google have a similar, free email solution."

"The price is not competitive."

"Microsoft Exchange Online is too expensive."

"We have a license per user scenario."

"There is a license for Microsoft Exchange Online and I have information on that, but there have been so many changes to the licensing and it's a completely different story nowadays. Microsoft has been pushing users to buy a package of products under one license. Users are becoming more dependent on Microsoft rather than independent, that you can't decide anymore, and from my point of view, that is bad."

"The price is a bit high. It is especially expensive in the Indian market."

"They have raised their prices, and obviously, it hits our customers. Some of them are deciding to step back from Office 365. For customers who have bought the annual subscription, they are moving to the monthly subscription."

"In my opinion, the online license is the best one we have. It is a bundle that we have from Microsoft. It is a bit high in price."
