Microsoft Exchange is a user-friendly and easy-to-deploy solution, which is beneficial for handling emails even without professional support. It is effective in managing email integration with tools like Outlook. Although pricing is a limiting factor, it proves to be an efficient solution for organizations familiar with its functionality.

All features are useful; they meet the purpose of an email server. There's no specific or very appealing function. All are related to email services.
The function of this product is to send an email. It's easy to manage because we know how. If you don't know how to manage, then, of course, it will be complicated.

The platform's most valuable feature is the mailbox roles. I am currently using the 2019 version and previously used the 2016 version. The mailbox role hosts all the mailboxes, which is essential for our email management needs.

The features I find most beneficial for my work are primarily centered around mail flow management. Mail flow rules, tracing, and the ability to set up rules and generate reports within the Mailflow section are particularly useful. Additionally, the convenience of connectors to other third-party systems and the ability to manage alert policies proves beneficial.

The biggest advantage of this product is that it provides us with unlimited storage for our mailbox. The availability and simplicity of getting emails is great. There's an accessible online version and you have the full Office package available at any moment beyond Outlook. The integration with OneDrive comes in very handy.

It's really just been the same for a decade now. I don't think they've really updated anything in a long time.
I like that we can still use it on-premise. Then, we don't have to pay the extra subscription fees for the cloud.
It integrates with anything really, to be honest, besides other Microsoft products.
There are AI-based features, but we don't use it.

On-premises Microsoft Exchange is good because it protects data privacy. It depends on the client because clients want to share their mailing communication with anyone, like vendors and all. So it's purchasing like on-premises server exchange email. So if they are okay with storing data to Online Exchange and all Office 365, they're buying that one. So it depends on the client's needs entirely.

Microsoft Exchange is a powerful solution. It can easily integrate with Active Directory and other business applications. It does not require any training, it is flexible and simple to use. When comparing Microsoft Exchange to other solutions, such as Lotus Note, it is more straightforward for business.
Kauthar Yakub

I haven't really used it for something advanced. Most of my use cases are just to retrieve my information. Microsoft Exchange is just a part of your Office package, so you just have it inbuilt. I really haven't used it much.

Exchange is easy to use. It also has a built-in calendar for all the stuff I'm supposed to be looking at and doing. Exchange tells you if you have a doctor's appointment or a scheduled call. It also has a place to store and manage your contacts. If I want to add a new contact, it will put in information about that contact stored anywhere within the Microsoft Suite.

HUGOMARTINEZ
IT Manager at a renewables & environment company with 201-500 employees
It has a feature that allows you to retain an email and recover it as an administrator. When you activate this feature, even if a user deletes an email, the email is still in the system, and we can retrieve it as an administrator. It is a very useful function. We turn this feature on for some of the mailboxes because we need to keep all the records.
I like the way emails are classified in this solution. It makes it really easy to take a look at the most important messages. This is a really good functionality. Some of the emails directly exchanged with you are marked as important and shown in one tab, and everything else is in another tab.
We usually don't have any issue with Exchange. It can be integrated with different solutions.

The mobile version of exchange keeps getting better as the product develops and synchronizes with today's latest mobile hardware. Security wise this gives local administrators control over these devices if stolen or lost.
The Exchange Toolbox comes with many useful tools for exchange administrators including Message Tracking, Tracking Log Explorer, and many more. Exchange really shines by allowing third party apps to manage and integrate with many software's geared towards the Outlook environment.
Exchange is an ever growing environment that will always have stronghold in the world of communicating and organizing information that is reliable.
