We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like the logistics and the Microsoft protocol of reaching Outlook anywhere.""The deployment is a plug-and-play process.""Provides unlimited storage for our mailbox.""The most valuable feature of Microsoft Exchange is the email storage is on the cloud. We don't have to delete emails often.""The latest versions have gotten much better about balancing the load on the backend.""The functionality on the user side is quite good. Exchange provides an excellent platform for collaboration between users.""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.""One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Exchange is its security."

Cons
"Microsoft needs to make some modifications to meet the current needs of the environment. For example, they need to add more cell service features because people work from home during the pandemic, and certain elements should be available as a mobile service.""The support needs to be more knowledgeable.""Sometimes we don't get support quickly enough - for example, if there's some global hacker attack, we don't get served as quickly. The skills of the technical staff can also vary, and Microsoft could perhaps improve their training.""We would prefer to be able to manage the solution on the cloud.""Deployment should become a bit easier, the process is a bit complicated. You have to have done it one or two times before you get it right. The first time you do it, it won't be perfect. There are a lot of complications compared to Gmail For Business, which is a bit easier when it comes to configuration.""If it was the same product, and slightly cheaper, that would be amazing.""From a reliability perspective, they need to improve the search engine, it is not very powerful.""In the version we have, I would like to see better communication between the end device and the Exchange server."

More Microsoft Exchange Cons →

"Veritas Enterprise Vault should improve its indexing and customization options.""The integration needs to improve.""Dealing with personal information, such as documents that contain a personal number, personal ID or something like that should be improved. Sometimes it works poorly in that regard.""The solution is not user-friendly and the restoration is not fast. It's also tricky to get information from it.""I cannot perform application backup, and I am not able to repair the license.""Veritas Enterprise Vault's cloud backup solution should include the journal archiving feature along with the standard licensing package.""The platform's price could be affordable for small businesses.""The file-level archiving is very important in Enterprise Vault 12 and this doesn't really exist in early versions."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "They are flexible when it comes to pricing, unlike most of the other vendors I have dealt with."
  • "It's working very well. There is no problem, but the price is not the best."
  • "Its price is okay."
  • "It's a little bit expensive."
  • "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."
  • "Microsoft doesn't have a unit price, it's based on the quantity, and they offer great discounts."
  • "We are currently using enterprise licenses for the solution. They are different pricing models available. There are individual, cloud-based, and enterprise licenses all with different pricing models. The larger the number of users, the lesser the price. For small to medium companies like us, we feel it is expensive."
  • "Its price is fair."

  • "There is a license required for this solution and it is typically is paid annually."
