"Microsoft Exchange Online is the best product in the world for me because I don't remember any other service that's so well-accepted."

"The product enables us to have remote meetings."

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

"I enjoy not having to maintain the local infrastructure, local servers, local whatever. You use the software and don't have to worry about the details."

"For an SMB, it is a recommendable email solution."

"There could be more options in Google G Suite. They can include HD calling for Google Meet. The layout portion in the calendar for Google G Suite can be better designed. When we get into the calendar and start scheduling meetings, we do have few hiccups here and there. The layout can be a little easier. People from different backgrounds are finding it a little bit tough to understand. It should be more intuitive. At the moment, it has a completely white background. To do power saving, it would be good if they can release a darker background. There are a few issues with the formatting of Google Docs when they get converted to Microsoft docs. It would be amazing if they can resolve it in the next release."

"In the next release, I would like to see more features added to the security of the solution."

"The solution's performance can be improved when you are trying to access it remotely."

"This is a single solution and if it's the first time you've used Exchange, it's extremely difficult to get users onboard because it's much more complicated than you'd have with 365, for example."
