Office offers great solutions for document management, which is the most basic need of your company's IT team. In addition, if you have an e-mail domain that you have created for them, you can manage it over Exchange. One of my favorite products of Exchange is Sharepoint. We use this place as a space where all our documents are stored. In addition, we have very convenient and free usage rights within the scope of Microsoft and NGO partnership.

Pros

As an NGO, we work with a focus on education. We have student volunteers from middle school, high school and university. Guess we have to work with them on a lot of documents. We use all office products and e-mail infrastructure of Exchange. With the domains we create, we show that they are part of our NGO.

Cons

It is not as fast as the microsoft operating system when running on Mac devices. I'm sure that the improvement of the macOS interior will make the user base very happy.

Alternatives Considered

Firebase and Google Slides

Reasons for Choosing Microsoft Exchange

Because Microsoft gives many free credit and storage for NGO

Reasons for Switching to Microsoft Exchange

I can say that the most important selection criterion for us is the budget. You know, NGOs work with a limited budget. Microsoft's support for NGOs is great. In addition, Exchange's long history has made it easy for everyone in our company to use it. Some former admins don't even know the name of Microsoft's alternatives. That's why they are very difficult to use.

Best platform for email and calendar management

Reviewed on 2023/12/10

Pros

It is easy to setup on multiple platform. The response is almost instantaneous across devices. It is easy to organize the calendars linked to the exchange emails.

Cons

I hate that Microsoft created various inbox capacities depending on the licence purchased just to force us to pay more expensive licences. Also, it is very complex to setup security and management policies in exchange in comparison to google workspace and apple iCloud.

Alternatives Considered

iCloud

Reasons for Choosing Microsoft Exchange

I switched only because Microsoft 365 licences allowed desktop apps, not because of the emails, because between Exchange and Google, I'd prefer Google anytime for email management.

Switched From

Google Workspace

Reasons for Switching to Microsoft Exchange

Because of SharePoint that was included in my licence, not because of exchange.

A robust, reliable and secure business mail service for your company and your collaborators

I have used this tool and I have been an administrator for more than 5 years, in the creation of mailboxes, integration with microsoft azure or online exchange, creation of digital signatures, migration of mailboxes, rules and more.

It has been very beneficial for the company to have this tool to manage the collaborators' mailboxes and at the same time have a business messaging service connected to the company's domain and to the active directory

Pros

What I like the most about this product is how easy it can be to create and manage the mailboxes of the company's collaborators as well as create rules, signatures and constant monitoring of the emails that enter and leave the company.

An added value is the part of being able to audit our mailboxes and be able to retrieve information in these audits.

Cons

What I don't like about the product is that sometimes the updates made by Microsoft force you to document the tool again since they change options from one way to another, that is, an option that was in one place is now in another

Alternatives Considered

Zimbra Collaboration Suite and Google Workspace

Reasons for Switching to Microsoft Exchange

It is a more robust platform, it can also be quickly integrated with active directory and with the azure cloud for integration with office 365

It used to be the normal path to communicate in any organization, as it was Blackberry Messenger years ago. Notwithstanding, the user interface is kind of outdated, the price could be considerable in comparison
with cloud-based alternatives. My experience used to be good, but we already change for better and simpler using different online services.

Pros

Great Contacts management system.
Good Task Management System
Excellent Microsoft Office Suite integration.

Cons

It does consume a lot of hardware resources.
Does not offer an easy way to get the information remotely.
I found it to be less reliable than cloud based platform alternatives.

Alternatives Considered

Microsoft Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo Mail and cPanel & WHM

Reasons for Switching to Microsoft Exchange

Well, Microsoft Exchange has been always a reliable tool, anyway, we do not use it anymore, since we changed it for Cloud Based Systems, they do offer us the flexibility to access our information anywhere at anytime without compromising the Hardware of our units. Anyway, even it is not our case, for those who need the information to remain in the company computers, it might continue to be a good asset.

It has been delightful. We couldn't be happier with the change and the ease of use. We also like the ability to use multiple Microsoft software with the Exchange licenses.

Pros

It is much easier to use than our previous email provider. It has an excellent administration section and it was easy for us to switch over to the new email provider and setup group emailing and administration quickly and easily. It works well with any other device/software and the speed of it is impeccable.

Cons

None currently - it works great and wouldn't trade it for any other email software.

Alternatives Considered

Gmail

Reasons for Choosing Microsoft Exchange

The administration aspect of the email system made it simply too difficult to stay with Yahoo Mail.

Switched From

Reasons for Switching to Microsoft Exchange

It simply works better with our Microsoft software and has better customer support than Google.

2. It is the email server used by millions of organizations and individuals, making it the most commonly used email server.

I would recommend Microsoft Exchange to a specific kind of business that values security above all else, and has the time and bandwidth to train their employees on the precise ways to use the software. This is not software I would recommend for beginners or people who are not technically adept.

Pros

Microsoft Exchange does interface very well with other Microsoft products, such as OneDrive. When I managed it for a client, the interface between the inboxs, the admin center, and OneDrive were seamless. This also likely makes Microsoft Exchange very secure.

Cons

Microsoft Exchange has a very clumsy interface that requires a lot more onboarding and training to use well, particularly as an administrator. Also, it can be very buggy. The email distribution lists would regularly "lose" emails even after correct procedures were followed.

Exchange is very suitable for businesses, and has a complete list of applications that can make it an all-in-one tool for business purposes. From document creating, sharing, and video conferencing, along with email communication, it is a robust tool with enhanced security of anti-spam filtering to let you work in peace. I like that we can do pretty much all of these in a single browser.

Pros

Exchange comes with all the best features you can expect from a brand like Microsoft. It is based entirely on the cloud, integrates with other Microsoft applications, especially O365 suite, and Teams, which makes it a complete package for a nominal business enterprise. It is easy to integrate third-party applications to improve performance. The mailboxes themselves have pretty UI and the cloud-based system reduced requirement of storage entirely.

Cons

Document creation and updation has lesser features since it is done on Cloud. The user interface could be made more intuitve and responsive. It also has a tendency to slow down, especially with large mailboxes. I would also like more filters for search option on mailboxes.
