Efficient email management with seamless integration

We previously used Microsoft Exchange but have moved to an MDN email solution due to cost and user growth 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…

Email triage solution that actions and handles emails based on preferences

Superhuman could be improved by being made available across a broader range of devices including Android and Windows PCs. Superhuman is also a phone app, which is available only on DiOS right now. Because it's not available on Android, you have to use Gmail for your phone, and use Superhuman for your desktop. The search feature could be improved. Currently, Gmail search is a lot more robust because you can filter results based on your requirements. Superhuman does not offer this way of searching which can make emails difficult to find.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Microsoft Exchange is stable."

"It is very well integrated with other Microsoft programs, teams, and so on. They work well together."

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Exchange is its ease of use."

"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."

"I find the desktop version of Microsoft Exchange looks better than the online version. You can make it a white background. You might be able to make the online background white, but I have no idea how to do that. I know how to do it only on the desktop version"

"The most beneficial aspects of Microsoft Exchange are that it is solid, dependable, and reliable."

"Provides unlimited storage for our mailbox."

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Exchange is the collaboration tools."

More Microsoft Exchange pros

"The best feature about Superhuman is the fact that you don't have to manually go through your emails. This solution segregates your email according to your preferences and how you want to categorize emails."

"It is fast, and it increases your productivity."

Cons

"We would prefer to be able to manage the solution on the cloud."

"The setup is difficult so could be easier."

"After 2022, users of Microsoft Exchange have to migrate mailboxes to Microsoft Exchange Online, and what I'd like to improve is for Microsoft to publish more on-premise versions for customers using Microsoft Exchange. Having more security is another room for improvement in the solution, particularly for mailboxes that develop the Exchange Edge rule to protect internal mailboxes. What I'd like to see from Microsoft Exchange in the future is for Microsoft to still update the latest, existing version which is 2022. I'd like Microsoft to still push more cumulative updates for Microsoft Exchange 2022."

"In our current situation, the disappearance of sanctions would be a tangible improvement. We are basically cut off from technical support and it's very difficult to obtain any updates."

"I would like to see the search capability of the Outlook client improved"

"The platform could be more user-friendly."

"It is important to have the updated version for scalability."

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

More Microsoft Exchange cons

"Superhuman could be improved by being made available across a broader range of devices including Android and Windows PCs."

"It can have a few more integrations. As far as I know, it is being integrated with Salesforce."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"It would be nice if it used less resources to run on-premise."

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

"I rate Microsoft Exchange's pricing a six out of ten."

"Microsoft's licensing structure is too complex, but its prices are affordable, though not cheap."

"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."

"The product is quite cheap."

"It's a little bit expensive."

More Microsoft Exchange pricing and cost advice

"It is fairly expensive. They have monthly and yearly licensing options."
