Microsoft Exchange vs Proofpoint Intelligent Compliance Platform comparison

"Exchange's interface is good. All of our engineers like it and are accustomed to using it."

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

"It's so much of a part of what I do every day that I don't give it a lot of thought. It just works, for the most part, until it doesn't, in which case I call tech support."

"All of Exchange's features are valuable. For example, we can configure the MAPI profile, IM profile, or mobile profile."

"I like the logistics and the Microsoft protocol of reaching Outlook anywhere."

"The most valuable features of Microsoft Exchange are it is always online and has broad email and file-sharing capabilities."

"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."

"The initial setup is very simple."

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

"The pricing could be better, and it could have an easier implementation."

"Exchange can be a little finicky, sometimes, or flakey. Last week, for example, I had gone into my calendar to check on some briefings that I had established, and then went back into my inbox, and suddenly the view had changed. I had no idea what it was that I had done, and I couldn't figure out how to get that view back. I took a productivity hit as a result of that, trying to fix it, due to the fact that it just wasn't what I wanted. It wasn't what I was used to working with. Two different tech support people had to work with me in order to get the view back to what I wanted just so I could be productive."

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

"The solution could be more user-friendly."

"An improvement would be to combine Exchange and Teams so that emails, calls, and chats can be integrated into one window."

"The price of Microsoft Exchange could improve, it is priced high."

"Microsoft Exchange needs to improve how it handles and assigns policy and security."

"They keep making all these changes, and our system was down for four or five days. They finally got it up, but there are still lots of quirks."

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

"Exchange is better for medium to large businesses because it can be quite costly for SMB, which may not need all the options the product provides."

"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."

"Compared to the other options in the market, the licensing costs attached to Microsoft Exchange seem reasonable."

"There are different prices depending on the customer's use cases and amount of users. The price of the solution could improve."

"The product pricing is reasonable if you utilize its full suite of features."

"Its price is fair."

"We pay for the license annually."

"Licensing costs for Microsoft Exchange have increased, but are still fair. For some users, the cost is high considering the number of functions and features they will use."
