Microsoft Exchange vs Proofpoint Intelligent Compliance Platform comparison

"Communication is the most valuable feature of the solution."

"Support is very good."

"It's very well integrated with OneDrive and Teams Calendar."

"All features are useful; they meet the purpose of an email server."

"The setup was straightforward."

"Provides unlimited storage for our mailbox."

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"I find the desktop version of Microsoft Exchange looks better than the online version. You can make it a white background. You might be able to make the online background white, but I have no idea how to do that. I know how to do it only on the desktop version"

"Our experience with the platform has been positive as it has maintained consistent control over spam and malware threats."

"I'd like the archiving process to be faster."

"They could continue to improve the consolidation and integration of mailbox services to make them more flexible, easier to deploy, and more manageable."

"Microsoft Exchange could improve by being more secure. We are always looking to have more security."

"Exchange can be a little finicky, sometimes, or flakey. Last week, for example, I had gone into my calendar to check on some briefings that I had established, and then went back into my inbox, and suddenly the view had changed. I had no idea what it was that I had done, and I couldn't figure out how to get that view back. I took a productivity hit as a result of that, trying to fix it, due to the fact that it just wasn't what I wanted. It wasn't what I was used to working with. Two different tech support people had to work with me in order to get the view back to what I wanted just so I could be productive."

"The default storage capacity is too small."

"The product or service could be improved in terms of Microsoft Outlook client compatibility."

"Microsoft could make it easier to combine comments in the GUI. It isn't easy to do certain things in Exchange, primarily if the administrator isn't used to the command line, so I think the customer interface could be improved."

"Its search functionality can be better. It is currently not really easy. It has the capability to search your mailbox, but it has some restrictions in terms of the number of results that you can retrieve. You can only get around 250 results. If you want to do a deeper search, you need to use different functionalities of the product. The policy that we have for handling emails is that we do not delete emails at all. If I insert the text that I am searching for in the Search field, it only retrieves a limited number of emails. To search for an email from 2010, I need to use different search functions to find what I am looking for. Microsoft can also improve its licensing for its products. Microsoft's licensing is not very easy to understand. It can sometimes be really complex to understand what you need to have in order to comply with Microsoft licensing."

"The Proofpoint Intelligent Compliance Platform does not provide features that help reduce manual efforts, so additional human resources are still required to manage security."

"Compared to the other options in the market, the licensing costs attached to Microsoft Exchange seem reasonable."

"Licensing fees are paid monthly."

"It's working very well. There is no problem, but the price is not the best."

"The product is quite cheap."

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

"Microsoft Exchange itself does not require a license, but users who will have mailboxes will require a license. It depends on the number of users to choose which license. If you exceed 2,000 mailboxes, it's preferable to get the enterprise license."

"They are flexible when it comes to pricing, unlike most of the other vendors I have dealt with."

"There is an annual cost to use Microsoft Exchange, and the price could be less expensive."
