"We have found the solution to be stable."

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Exchange Online is its performance."

The Online Mailbox feature is also crucial because it allows us to communicate effectively within and outside the organization, contributing to our business growth."

"One of the important features is the collaboration tool used in Office 365. The security and DLP mechanisms are also quite good."

"Microsoft Exchange Online is very simple and easy to use."

"It's pretty reliable. We haven't had any issues with it."

"I have found that Microsoft has vulnerabilities when it comes to Exchange Online. It has become the port of a lot of hacker attacks."

"There is room for improvement in terms of optimization."

"There is room for improvement in terms of security, as it could be better."

"I would like to see better security added to Microsoft Exchange Online in the area of phishing or spam emails."

"For example, recently there were some spam incidents that Microsoft does not currently mitigate because they have another paid solution to do so. It would be nice to integrate the security and the anti-spam (i.e. the fake links, etc.) along with the Exchange Online default."

"My personal issue with using OfficeSuite and the Exchange Server is that one has to cobble together a whole bunch of different applications. Therefore, a lot of scripting and programming knowledge is necessary."

"We'd like to have the ability to recall emails on the web. I'm not sure if that is available yet."

"Zimbra should provide a desktop client. Right now, we are using a web browser for accessing our emails. There should also be a desktop client."

"File sharing permissions with Nextcloud integration need improvement."

"They should enhance its online meeting features."

"I can confidently say that Zimbra is good enough for 2,000 client users. But, at the same time, if my client needs more than that and we have two options—Zimbra or Microsoft—I'm going with Microsoft because many admins will speak to Microsoft's ability to handle that many."

"We have had an issue with security."

"The installation is not straightforward, it can take two days for the full implementation."

"I would like to see a Microsoft schedule function added."

"The support was lacking in my experience. However, recently the support I received was good. Perhaps they have improved."

"The licensing cost increased at least 15 to 20 percent recently and it would be helpful for them to be reduced."

"The pricing for this solution is good. We renew our contract every three years. I would rate the pricing for this solution a three out of five."

"Initially, we had issues with the licensing agreement, but we worked it out with Microsoft."

"I think that the price is a little high, especially considering that Google have a similar, free email solution."

"The pricing is really high. It's higher compared to other services."

"The price is not competitive."

"Microsoft Exchange Online is an affordable solution."

"There is a license for Microsoft Exchange Online and I have information on that, but there have been so many changes to the licensing and it's a completely different story nowadays. Microsoft has been pushing users to buy a package of products under one license. Users are becoming more dependent on Microsoft rather than independent, that you can't decide anymore, and from my point of view, that is bad."

"We are using perpetual licenses. We have deployed it in our local data center, and we buy perpetual licenses on a per-user basis."

"It's very expensive. When we compare the cost with Google Workspace, it's so expensive."

"If you choose the network edition, it is a little pricier. They have the open-source edition too which is only community supported."

"When it comes to the licensing of Zimbra Collaboration, my license covers the servers and I find its terms to be much simpler than those of Microsoft Exchange."

"Zimbra Collaboration is less expensive than Microsoft Exchange. Zimbra works for small companies because it is not expensive. Zimbra Collaboration has more security tools than Microsoft Exchange. If you are choosing between Zimbra Collaboration and Microsoft Exchange, you have to take into account the cost of security tools with Microsoft Exchange. When you purchase Microsoft Exchange, you will also have to purchase tools for security, which adds to the cost. The migration from Zimbra Collaboration to another email solution is very simple and easy. Migration from Microsoft Exchange to another email solution is very difficult. Microsoft doesn't allow migration that easily. In fact, you have to pay for tools to do that. You have to buy some expensive tools to migrate."

"We pay yearly licenses for Zimbra Collaboration."

"We do not pay for licenses to use this solution."

"There is an annual standard licensing fee to use Zimbra Collaboration and there is no other cost."
