Microsoft Exchange vs Proofpoint Intelligent Compliance Platform comparison

"Microsoft Exchange is comparable to the Outlook client. Both are Microsoft products, and most people are familiar with Outlook. This is why the best feature of Microsoft Exchange is the ease of use. It is more compatible with the client software, especially for Microsoft Outlook. There are a lot of features available that are required for businesses users."

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

"The product can scale."

"Microsoft Exchange is stable."

"Microsoft Exchange is a user-friendly product that is easy to manage and configure."

"Provides unlimited storage for our mailbox."

"Exchange's best feature is single sign-on access using the Microsoft Identity framework."

"The most used feature of Microsoft Exchange is the email capability, especially since it integrates with the calendar."

"Our experience with the platform has been positive as it has maintained consistent control over spam and malware threats."

"In terms of configuring the product, that's definitely an area in which they can make some improvements on."

"An area for improvement would be the convenience of working with Azure services from Exchange on-premise installations."

"In terms of probability, every now and then there are changes coming and going. The changes are not that frequent because every month they got updates back, so that is an issue."

"For new users, it might take them some time to get used to the product."

"The main problem with Microsoft products is that we're constantly required to install patches and fixes."

"The support needs to be more knowledgeable."

"There can be occasional challenges during the product's implementation phase, making it an area where improvements are needed."

"Currently, its administration is too cumbersome. It's unwieldy. It's slow. It consumes too many resources. Configuration needs to be much more streamlined and administratively automated."

"The Proofpoint Intelligent Compliance Platform does not provide features that help reduce manual efforts, so additional human resources are still required to manage security."

"Its price is very affordable, and basically, it is the standard of the industry. We have the Exchange 365 subscription, which includes the usage of Exchange Online. I don't know the specific cost, but it is the retail price of Microsoft 365 E3 licenses. Microsoft's licensing is not very easy to understand. Microsoft changes rules every other day, which makes it difficult for us to understand the licensing not only for Exchange but also for other products. It can sometimes be really complex to understand what you need to have in order to comply with Microsoft licensing."

"Since my company is on Microsoft Cloud, we pay for the licenses per user. Compared to volume licensing, I would say the present licensing cost is not expensive."

"It's a little bit expensive."

"I don't have enough information about the licensing costs of Microsoft Exchange, but I do know that you need two types of licenses to run it. You need the product key and the client access key to activate Microsoft Exchange. This means that apart from the standard Microsoft Exchange licensing fees, you have to pay additional costs."

"Microsoft Exchange is a very well-priced solution."

"The platform has a reasonable price."

"The product is quite cheap."

"Its price is fair."
