VP of Development at a marketing services firm with 51-200 employees
Gmail for Business is a better replacement of Exchange server and is highly affordable.
What is most valuable?
- Gmail for business is extremely scalable and affordable.
- The 'Groups' option works beautifully for having one email that is delivered to multiple users.
- Integrates very easily into Outlook and mobile devices and having access to anytime, you have internet via their online option which is convenient.
What needs improvement?
- I sometimes am logged out randomly from my account and it's a pain to have to log in again.
- I've had some issues with email messages loading too slowly, but it is typically resolved after a refresh.
What other advice do I have?
We switched our company from an Intermedia Exchange server to Gmail for Business and I am extremely happy with the results. My team adopted it very quickly, as most of them have used Gmail for personal use. I would highly recommend it to all companies.
Disclosure: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.
