Microsoft Exchange Online Reviews

I am using Microsoft Exchange Online as part of Office 365 for email and the messaging services.

The solution is easy to use and the cloud version has taken a lot of challenges away from the user.

The solution could improve by making the user interface better.

I have been using this solution for approximately two years.

Microsoft Exchange Online is stable.

The solution is scalable.

The installation is quick.

This solution requires a license.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Exchange Online a nine out of ten.

My primary use of this solution is for emailing and for the e-calendar.

I cannot see anything that needs room for improvement at this time.

I have not had issues with the stability of the product.

Regarding scalability, we initially did have some issues with scalability. We have 150 people using the product.

Tech support is a challenge at times. They take a long time to respond. Sometimes we have to wait two to three days for a response. They do help, at that point, but the response time is slow.

The initial setup was not complex. There was a learning curve, but we overcame the challenge. We used the Microsoft website to help us with our questions.

The pricing is a bit more expensive than other solutions.

We also have entities that use G Suite, and we have noticed that it is much smoother. We also considered IBM products, but we did not truly consider that as an option because of our Active Directory.

I would like to let new users know that there are challenges regarding user provisioning, HRMS and the AD. Also, the data migration integrity needs to be checked in terms of the old data.

The main use for Microsoft Exchange Online is to work remotely. 

It allows us to work from home, at any time or anywhere.

The integration could be better if it could integrate well with other products and software.

I have been using  Microsoft Exchange Online for a couple of years.

We are using the latest version.

It's a stable product. We have no issues with the stability of Microsoft Exchange Online.

Microsoft Exchange Online is a scalable solution.

We have 350 users in our organization.

I don't have any issues with the technical support. They are good.

Previously, I was using Outlook.

I was not involved in the installation.

We have a team of four or five admins to maintain and deploy this solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I would rate Microsoft Exchange Online a nine out of ten.

We primarily use this as a business solution for service desk, mails and the automation process. This year, we did a migration process from Exchange to Exchange Online, and that included everything that goes with that. 

A better approach for them to use Exchange Online was to have the host serve us in a cloud service. Functionality wise, I can't really say it's improved from Exchange Online, I think it's not so much change on-premise. It's about the same. Other than that, it's the extra features  that make a difference, really.

I think with Exchange, it's a lot of integration functionality with the Skype for business. It's quite accepted if you like an almost-defective standard. Especially in the region that we email them, definitely in the Asia-Pacific region or at least Oceania region. It's really easy to use. The the room and shared mailbox functionality that people use, it just all really works well together.

The features that are most valuable are: unlimited archiving, the hold and redemption policy functionality.

There were no issues of stability at all. I have not experienced issues of connectivity or backend issues at all. 

This is a highly scalable solution. We implemented it for 160 users. All the space you need is there. You could quickly grow it. All the functionality is there. You've got the power shelf or bulk work that you need to do. There are no issues.

Tech support has been great, when necessary. There is a quick response time. The specific issues we were dealing with were to verify an end-case. We did have to go through three or four different people, who gave us different answers. But, we finally got a response from a tech specialist who plainly told us that we could not do what we wanted to do. We found the tech support highly intelligent and knowledgeable.

Initial setup was straightforward.

We worked out the investment was a worthwhile investment that saved itself in about eight months. The investment in the project to get it across would pay for itself by reducing the on-premise Exchange costs. There is a definite return on investment by using this solution.

Regarding the pricing and licensing of the solution, it's great. I think it's just awesome. There's no argument about how much value you get on the per user, for user expenditure. It's really great, I don't have any issues with it. I think it's excellent.

Make sure you've got a set user base from all areas of the business because everyone in different departments uses the mail functionality differently. Just make sure you have a really good audit process of what your current environment really is doing before you do your migration.

I have been using the solution for 5 years. 

There is only one use case for our clients, we sell the solution to clients that can not afford to build on-site data centers and therefore they need an online solution.

The solution we have found it to stable.

The solution is scalable.

The price of the solution could be less expensive.

I recommend the product and we plan to continue selling it in the future.

I rate Microsoft Exchange Online eight out of ten.

• File Server or DFS migration to SharePoint online.
• Very stable product and is highly available.
• ITB storage.
• Assign same file server permission on SharePoint online.
• SharePoint online can integrate with Exchange on premises or online.
• Document automation.

One of the best products. What I really love about SharePoint especially is SharePoint online.

Not only will you get the SharePoint benefits, but it's also highly available. I made a migration with more than 4 companies at Egypt from file server to Sharepoint online. They were very happy because of the stability of the cloud and they forgot the troubleshooting to the servers. They can just focus on the administration of SharePoint online.

Also one of these companies doesn't have an IT professional admin or even help desk, so they are working with Skype for Business online. With Exchange SharePoint and one drive, they are happy because of the storage they have as well as not needing an IT professional to administer it. It just requires adding some features and assigning some permissions and they are very happy and satisfied with SharePoint (the Office 365 suite).

Office 365 is one of the strongest solutions that I've seen. In my mind, it will change the whole world in the way servers are used. It provides stability for every organization, especially small & mid-sized.

One of the solutions of Office 365 is Exchange Online:

Exchange Online is part of the Office 365 family. It provides a lot of features, but the most important one to me is that it's always available, meaning I have no maintenance headaches. It's available 99% of the time, which means that downtime is less than a half hour per year -- which is awesome for any organization. From my experience, Exchange Online is very stable, there's never downtime, and users are satisfied with the 50 GB mailbox they each get (useful for when they, for example, forget to delete emails or something like that). They can also just connect via internet and they will be up and running. Also, while the migration is neither difficult nor easy, it's a nice feature. The option to stay with hybrid with Exchange premium is good too because that if I don't have enough money to extend my users, I can still stick with the free version.

• storage capacity
• updates

We have users in our company and we wanted to see if we change from the older 2010 version, how it is functioning with the new users. Once we did so, we decided to change to Microsoft Exchange Online.

It is pretty good, and user friendly. I am very happy with the VUI, and the admins here are happy with the administrative control.

Exchange remains slow for us. In addition, in terms of machine controls, it was very confusing, and some of the administrative parts will be done from the control, but in online writing mostly we can handle everything.

I have no issues with stability of the Microsoft Exchange product.

I have no issues with scalability of the Microsoft Exchange product.

The tech support was very helpful.

The initial setup was good. Initially, we had a hard time with installing the hybrid environment online, but we contacted the Microsoft technicians, and they helped us through it.
