"We use the solution as a mail server. It connects with Outlook and is used for calendaring and similar tasks."

"It's relatively simple to use."
"The most valuable features are security and privacy because you installed it on your server, within your company premises, not in the cloud."
"The product was simple to use."
"Microsoft Exchange Online is an easy-to -use email solution."
"All of the features are beneficial, but the scheduling feature is particularly useful."
"The best thing about Microsoft Exchange Online is that it's integrated with the Outlook application."
"It is a scalable product. We are using it for 500 users."
"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."
"When you used to write to someone, you would often begin typing their name and their email address would appear; you would simply click and you would have the correct email address. That has been working for a while, but having the location address appear was a pleasant surprise. It was amazing."
"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."
"It could be simpler to use and install, but I still wouldn't use it because there isn't a compelling use case."
"I would like to see better support from their support team."
"Having a native Outlook map integration would make Kerio Connect better."
"The solution could improve the redundancy because we only have one copy of the Kerio Connect server on our hardware. The next step for us is to move to the cloud and if Kerio does not have a cloud version available they should release one"
"The search and archiving documentation capabilities need to be stronger."
"Most of our clients use Outlook and Kerio Connect. Occasionally, Kerio can be a bit slow. They could make it faster to get onto the web interface without so much load time. It's just slow with Outlook, however, for some reason."
"We are considering switching to Microsoft Exchange. One reason is that it doesn't improve our workflow and doesn't integrate well with Microsoft 365 applications."
"You cannot integrate with other services like Google Docs, Google Assistant, Google Calendar, etc."
"I don't really like the response time of the web GUI for administration."
"Microsoft Exchange Online could improve the management usage, it should be more user-friendly."
"Also, I think the mobile app on the forms you can improve a little bit more."
"Microsoft needs to lower the price of the extra production add-ins for Exchange Online."
"The integration could be better if it could integrate well with other products and software."
"Functionality wise, I can't really say it's improved from Exchange Online, I think it's not so much change on-premise. It's about the same. Other than that, it's the extra features that make a difference, really"
"The solution could improve with the integrations with some of the known applications is still not possible, there must be more connectors."
"The solution could be a bit cheaper."
