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

"We have contacted technical support a handful of times and received some assistance."
"The user interface is good."
"Kerio Connect is secure, flexible, and easy to control from the user interface. It has many security features able to be controlled from one place, such as anti-spam. I have found it very convenient. Additionally, you can analyze log files and share folders which is helpful."
"All of Exchange's features are valuable. For example, we can configure the MAPI profile, IM profile, or mobile profile."
"It gives me benefit in terms of integration with other services such as SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, and OneDrive. It makes my work much easier."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Exchange is the email storage is on the cloud. We don't have to delete emails often."
"The technical support is fine."
"It is user friendly."
"It is easy to use and we can allow many users because now our users are scattered They over a wide area. We can use it from anywhere. That is the main benefit for us."
"The most valuable features are that you can exchange information, tasks, attachments, and enhance the process in a short amount of time."
"Our customers are satisfied with the features included in Microsoft Exchange."
"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."
"The search and archiving documentation capabilities need to be stronger."
"It could be simpler to use and install, but I still wouldn't use it because there isn't a compelling use case."
"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"
"You cannot integrate with other services like Google Docs, Google Assistant, Google Calendar, etc."
"Having a native Outlook map integration would make Kerio Connect better."
"I would like to see better support from their support team."
"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."
"It doesn't work very well on a virtual machine. We had to move it around. There are also issues when you try to move it between computers."
"There are limitations in terms of the number of emails that can be sent in a minute, which makes it a little difficult for the marketing folks."
"I'd like the archiving process to be faster."
"Microsoft Exchange could improve security. They can elevate a lot of security features."
"The only thing that could be improved is the pricing."
"An area for improvement would be the convenience of working with Azure services from Exchange on-premise installations."
"The main problem with Microsoft products is that we're constantly required to install patches and fixes."
