Microsoft Exchange Reviews

I find Exchange's basic mail features to be highly valuable. 

The calendar integration in Exchange is not that great. The email features are okay, but it doesn't integrate well with the calendar and appointments, especially Zoom appointments. It integrates fine with Microsoft Teams, but Zoom is a challenge. 

Maybe the problems with integration are Apple's fault. The calendar doesn't integrate well with Apple's iOS. When I make appointments in Outlook, they don't necessarily transfer to the Apple Watch or the iPhone. If a meeting is canceled or rescheduled, it doesn't pick up at all. It's still showing appointments that were canceled months ago. 

I've been using Microsoft Exchange for seven or eight years.

Microsoft Exchange's stability is okay. I'm about the jinx it, but it seems fine. I'm not really having problems with it, and I've got over 200,000 emails.

I've contacted Microsoft support. They're overseas in India, I think. They usually solve the problem but not quickly. Sometimes it takes a while. I even let them access the computer remotely, and they do whatever. I would rate them average. They're okay but not great. It takes more time than necessary, it seems.

I still use Gmail, but I don't use it much. I'm not that impressed. Gmail isn't robust enough. I use the integrated mailbox for iPhone. It's okay but not great. Outlook is the best, but it could be better.

I pay about $100 for a license, but I'm a single owner.

I'd rate Exchange seven out of 10. It has challenges with integration, whether it be through Android or Apple. We've been heavily using Zoom and Microsoft Teams this year, and that hasn't been great. It's passable. At the same time, I would give iOS Mail only a five or six, but then again, it's straightforward. It doesn't propose to do much else. The nice thing about iOS Mail is that you don't have to sift through different accounts. They all come up in the sandbox, which is cool. That's helpful for work.

If you're using Microsoft Exchange, make sure you have technical support. You need someone to call if you have problems. I pay for a technical support license from Microsoft. 

It's a very user-friendly application. The mail server is also valuable when compared to other services like SquirrelMail.

From a security point of view, Microsoft should enhance the new features. Technical support could also be better.

I have been working with Microsoft Exchange for about three or four years.

Exchange is a very good Microsoft product, and it's very stable. It's rare to face issues like mailboxes, but troubleshooting is very easy.

From a security point of view, Microsoft Edge's role is very good. This is because the Edge server is not part of an internal network. If there's a vector attack on Exchange, it will affect only the internal Exchange Edge server and not our private network or DMZ.

This product is reliable and very scalable. We have almost 5,000 users at the moment.

Technical support is average at best. Many times Microsoft engineers took a long time to support us after we logged a case. 

Microsoft Exchange is for any company with 400 to 500 people, but a mid-size company can also use this product. It's not very costly for them. The alternative many companies are using is Gmail desktop services with about 100 users. I don't know about the quantity, but many companies are using Gmail as a free service because they don't want to invest in other products like Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Office 365.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Microsoft Exchange a nine.

We are using Microsoft Exchange for internal communication between teams.

Microsoft Exchange has helped our company stay organized in the workplace, it makes time more efficient.

The most valuable features of Microsoft Exchange are its ease of use, and simplicity of communication, and we can track communications between teams.

Microsoft Exchange could improve the price.

I have been using Microsoft Exchange for approximately 10 years.

Microsoft Exchange is stable.

I have found Microsoft Exchange scalable.

We have approximately 250 users using this solution.

I have not contacted support from Microsoft.

I have not used another solution previously. 

The initial setup of Microsoft Exchange is straightforward. It did not take a lot of time.

We have two to three people for the maintenance or support of Microsoft Exchange

The price of Microsoft Exchange could improve. In Egypt, the price keeps increasing.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Exchange an eight out of ten.

We mainly use Microsoft Exchange for email communication between the users and the clients and for some other capabilities.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Exchange is its communication capabilities. It also works really fine performance and stability-wise.

Microsoft Exchange's customer support could be faster and more knowledgeable. Also, the solution has some bugs.

I have been using Microsoft Exchange for three years.

I rate Microsoft Exchange a nine out of ten for stability. The stability of Microsoft Exchange could be better.

I rate Microsoft Exchange a ten out of ten for scalability. Approximately 2,000 users are using Microsoft Exchange in our company.

Sometimes our problems are not solved because Microsoft Exchange's customer support doesn't give the right answers.

We needed two people for the deployment and maintenance of Microsoft Exchange.

Users have to pay a yearly licensing cost for Microsoft Exchange. I rate Microsoft Exchange a four out of ten for pricing because it is quite cheap, and many companies use the solution.

Microsoft Exchange is a good and useful solution that users can use without any problem for smaller or larger companies.

Overall, I rate Microsoft Exchange a ten out of ten.

I use the product to send emails and communicate with users and clients.

Communication is the most valuable feature of the solution. It's a good solution. We can use it without any problem. It's useful for every company, whether small or large.

The support needs to be more knowledgeable. The support's answers are sometimes wrong, and they do not solve our problems. We have to find a workaround when we do not receive the solution.

I have been using the solution for three years.

The solution’s stability is fine. We face some bugs sometimes. I rate the stability a nine out of ten.

The scalability is fine. In our organization, 1000 employees use the solution.

We need two technical people, two managers, and seven first-level support employees to deploy the solution.

We pay a yearly license fee for the solution. The product is quite cheap.

Overall, I rate the solution a ten on ten.

We mainly use Exchange for the email, calendar, and contact management features. 

The functionality on the user side is quite good. Exchange provides an excellent platform for collaboration between users. 

Exchange's management could be improved a bit, and its troubleshooting tools are limited at times. It's not easy sometimes to troubleshoot. That's another area where there's room for improvement.

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.

I've been using Microsoft Exchange for 15 years.

Exchange's application front services are robust and scalable.

I've never had to contact Microsoft support about issues with Exchange. We used to have a support contract with Microsoft, but it was for integration. However, the technology itself is mature though, and we have extensive experience managing Exchange. But if there are matters related to the environment, sometimes it is tricky. You have to build your own capability and rely on it when there is some novel use case.

If you want to run Exchange as an on-premises solution, you have to cover infrastructure costs. If cost is an issue, you can opt for Office 365 instead. But I'm fine with what we're paying because we have no problem budgeting for an Exchange server.

I rate Microsoft Exchange nine out of 10. 

We are using Microsoft Exchange for collaboration but mainly for email.

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

I have been using Microsoft Exchange for approximately 20 years.

Microsoft Exchange is highly stable for the end-user systems. When we move to Office 365, it will be even more stable even. There's less administration required and it's very robust. We are really quite happy in using that.

The stability can depend on the user's internet speed. If the speed is good then the solution can be scalable.

We have approximately 3,000 to 4,000 users using this solution.

There are two to three people doing the maintenance of the Microsoft Exchange.

We have had an enterprise license agreement for three years. We are always seeking more value for our money, the price could be reduced.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Exchange an eight out of ten.

I use it as a customer, and I also do implementations for my customers. I mostly go with hybrid deployments.

It gives me benefit in terms of integration with other services such as SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, and OneDrive. It makes my work much easier.

There are limitations in terms of the number of emails that can be sent in a minute, which makes it a little difficult for the marketing folks.

The products or the updates that come in are more frequent. If I want to move from Exchange on-prem to Exchange Online, there are prerequisites that need to be met. They always have prerequisites for the latest one, but not all customers will have the latest infra. They might have a six or three months old version, but the expectation is the latest one. This prerequisite is a little inconvenient for those customers who wish to migrate to the cloud.

The response time of their support can be improved. 

I have been using this solution for seven to eight years.

I have not contacted them recently. I used to contact them four or five years ago. I would rate them a four out of five. One point is for the delay in their response. 

It depends on the organization. If it is an SME, it is going to be straightforward. If it is an enterprise, it is going to be complex.

Its price is fair.

I will recommend others to go with the complete suite instead of going for just Exchange. If they go with Office 365, which is a bundled service, they will get more flexibility and collaborative workspace. It will enable their users to work without moving around the apps.

I would rate Microsoft Exchange an eight out of 10. Obviously, not everything is 100% satisfactory, but there are a lot of improvements happening.
