Microsoft Exchange Online Reviews

Microsoft Exchange Online is used for emails and it does a fantastic job. 

The only reason why you would choose an online solution is the company that you're working at is they do not want to have an onsite server. The companies that want something on-site would choose the on-premise version.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Exchange Online is if you have people that are geographically distributed from each other is good. For example, if you have people in the United States, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, having an online solution works best because then you can reach the scale of the data centers that are available by Microsoft. Additionally, if you're only going to have two to three people using the solution the cost is a lot less than having an onsite server and licensing. It is highly beneficial in these areas.

The online archiving option works well. If you have a lot of emails and you want to keep them indefinitely, then you can use the online archive. It's available permanently and you can store quite a bit of email inside it.

I have been using Microsoft Exchange Online for approximately four and a half years.

The stability of the solution is good. I've only had an issue with it once or twice, but that was due to undersea cable damage.

Microsoft Exchange Online is highly scalable.

We have a lot of users using this solution.

The support from the vendor is fine. However, it could be faster, and some of the agents could be more knowledgeable, but it is a large solution, there's a lot of information that the agents have to work with. I can't always expect when I get connected to the first-level agent that they will know absolutely everything. Sometimes there's no replacement for pure experience.

I rate the support from Microsoft Exchange Online a three out of five.

The initial setup of the cloud version is similar to the on-premise version. You can have a straightforward or semi-complex deployment. Cloud deployments do not become as complex as the on-premise version, but they can, depending on how it is used. 

The deployment of the solution only takes five minutes. It is very useful when deploying from scratch. As soon as you have the domain up and running it is complete and ready to go.

The license for the solution is cheap, but it could be more affordable in the long term.

We have one level two or level three engineer that does the deployment and maintenance of the solution. The online version does not require a lot of people to run it.

I recommend this solution to others and they will not regret it. They should not use other solutions.

I rate Microsoft Exchange Online a nine out of ten.

We use Microsoft Exchange Onlne for communication, collaboration, and some project management tasks.

Exchange Online is consistent. It's easy to deploy and scale out to all of our organizations.

The efficiency could improved.

I have been working with Exchange Online for more than 10 years.

Exchange Online must be reliable and available for our operations.

It can be complex to incorporate the unique requirements of each division into a single platform to meet all of the requirements. It's not hard to maintain Exchange Online, but you need an expert on your team and some outside help from the vendor.

I rate Microsoft Exchange Online seven out of 10. 

We use this in addition to Office 365 in order to have our user mailboxes on the cloud.

From a user's perspective, this solution enables them to access to their mailbox from anywhere and their mailbox size is as big as 100 gigabytes so they never run out of space. 

This solution makes it very easy to receive and detect problems about the mail flow and offers very good reporting. In general, it's very easy to manage the organization's mailboxes.

When we need to purchase additional licenses for additional users, the process is slow. 

We would like to have a single point of view or pane where we can manage all of our infrastructure. 

I have been using this solution for six years. 

This is a stable solution. I would rate it a four out of five. 

This is a scalable solution. I would rate it a five out of five. 

The deployment of Exchange Online only was very easy and was completed within a week. The full setup and migration of on cloud and on-premises infrastructure is still in progress but this is not due to difficulty. 

The return on investment is very good. I would rate it a five out of five in this regard. 

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. 

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten. 

Microsoft Exchange Online is a robust mailing solution.

The most valuable features of Microsoft Exchange Online are spam filtering, 50 GB of email storage, good integration with Outlook, and ease of management.

I have been using Microsoft Exchange Online for approximately five years.

Microsoft Exchange Online is scalable.

We have approximately 80 clients using this solution.

The support could improve their response time and sometimes the phone lines are not clear because of static or noise. However, the agents are knowledgeable and very helpful.

I rate the support from Microsoft Exchange Online a four out of five.

The initial setup of Microsoft Exchange Online is straightforward. It took approximately one hour to deploy for clients.

We have three people that do the deployment and support of Microsoft Exchange Online.

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

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Exchange Online a nine out of ten.

We're using Microsoft Exchange Online for our emails.

What I like about Microsoft Exchange Online is that it's a very convenient solution because it's part of the Microsoft business suite. This is the first email service I've used that lasted for many years, and I'm still using it because it's very convenient and it's suitable for my needs.

Microsoft Exchange Online is the best product in the world for me because I don't remember any other service that's so well-accepted.

What I don't like about Microsoft Exchange Online is too much integration because now it has many services connected to it. In the beginning, it was just email, and now it's also Teams and Visio, and many other services which I don't like.

Microsoft Exchange Online should focus on one service. The product now lost focus, and this is its area for improvement.

I would also like more freedom in choosing to use just one service, for example, just Microsoft Exchange Online, which means I don't need Teams or any other Microsoft product or service there. Right now, all services are either in the Microsoft Office suite, or there are more products or services integrated with Microsoft Exchange Online, and I'd like to just focus on one.

I've been using Microsoft Exchange Online for more than ten years.

Microsoft Exchange Online is a stable product, in particular, when it's on the cloud. It's stable when it's dependent on the cloud, but if it's deployed on-premises, Microsoft Exchange Online is not stable.

It's a very old product with the same code, even on Windows. Nothing's changed, and my company is using Windows NT for Microsoft Exchange Online with Unix as the code.

Microsoft Exchange Online is a scalable solution.

We haven't used the technical support for Microsoft Exchange Online.

Microsoft Exchange Online is the first service I've used, and all the new services in the market are a little bit different from this solution. Microsoft is a very old company, and almost all of my colleagues started with Microsoft products, so it's just natural to continue using Microsoft Exchange Online.

Microsoft Exchange Online is easy to install.

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.

My company evaluated Qualitas, Unix, HP, and IBM.

In my company, Microsoft Exchange Online is deployed both on the cloud and on-premises.

More than two thousand people use Microsoft Exchange Online in my company of four thousand employees.

At the moment, there's no plan of increasing usage of the product because of the current crisis.

In terms of whether I would recommend Microsoft Exchange Online to others, with the integration it has, it depends on the focus of the company. For small markets, Microsoft Exchange Online is "too big" because it has a lot of services and you'll be paying for services provided in the package, with some you don't get to use. For end users, this would be difficult, but for companies, especially bigger ones that would have a choice, Microsoft Exchange Online is a good product. My recommendation would depend on the case because every user is different, for example, the purpose is different, the business is different, etc.

My rating for Microsoft Exchange Online is seven out of ten.

We use SharePoint Online for the collaboration of our team and for other desktop applications we are using in-house.

We also create technical presentations, so most of the time we are dealing with MS Word and Excel. Sometimes, we also use Visio for diagramming. Our overall experience is good.

They should tighten their cloud security. If you are using Microsoft Office 365, the responsibility of backup is not on the part of Microsoft. It is on the part of the customer. Microsoft Office should give some kind of built-in solution with the Office 365 subscription regarding the backup of their online mailboxes.

My company has been a Microsoft Gold partner for the last 12 years. As soon as we became a Gold partner, we started to use Office 365.

It's stable.

We can have different plans. If we are scaling, then obviously we can go for the enterprise plan and add an unlimited number of users to our Office 365 plan.

Overall, technical support is very good. My colleagues reached out to Microsoft technical support many times for queries. They are very responsive.

Setup was really simple. We migrated our customers from a different platform to Microsoft Office 365. There is a separate technical team. I designed the solution only.

They have raised their prices, and obviously, it hits our customers. Some of them are deciding to step back from Office 365. For customers who have bought the annual subscription, they are moving to the monthly subscription.

I would rate this solution 8 out of 10.

I would recommend Office 365. It's a global product, and overall they have a larger footprint in the world. We're a Microsoft Gold partner, so as soon as the customer moves to Office 365, obviously our business will also grow.

I use this solution for mail exchanges, calendars, and setting up meetings.  

The features of Microsoft Exchange Online are very intuitive and well-built, keeping the user experience in mind. The usability and the accessibility are the best aspects of this solution.

The SaaS platform performance could be improved. At a previous company, we used this same solution on-premises. The data exchange was much faster compared to the SaaS platform and we sometimes experience lags. 

I have used this solution for 15 years. 

This is a stable solution. 

We have never needed assistance from the customer service team. 

I have previously used IBM Notes and Google Gmail.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten. 

This product provides us with a secure login and enables us to gather information from our users. We are resellers and I'm a key account manager. 

The design is intuitive and better than the solution we had previously used. Once it was configured it was very easy to use. 

This is a single solution and if it's the first time you've used Exchange, it's extremely difficult to get users onboard because it's much more complicated than you'd have with 365, for example. 

We've only just started using it, it's been a week. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable, we have around 100 users. 

The initial setup was complex and took us around two weeks. We deployed in-house; it's in the cloud so there's no maintenance required. 

The problem is that it's a little complicated when you first start using it. It's important to read up about it and figure out whether it's the right solution for you. 

I rate the solution seven out of 10.
