Compared to the other options in the market, the licensing costs attached to Microsoft Exchange seem reasonable.

The license can be both monthly or yearly. It is not expensive.

Office 365 is mostly free to use. You can also have a pay-later service. The choice depends on the type of license. Exchange functions as a single entity, with higher email capacity. Office 365's licenses differ across categories, each offering varying storage. For instance, a subscription for five employees using Office 365 costs $200 monthly, while setting up an Exchange solution for the same number would demand additional expenses, such as hardware, licenses, and technical support.

The licensing is integrated with Microsoft 365. Licensing is becoming easier. We can get Exchange in the cloud along with the Microsoft 365 license. We don't have to worry so much about Exchange licenses in the future. It would be deployed in the cloud.

There are different prices depending on the customer's use cases and amount of users. The price of the solution could improve.

This solution is expensive. On a scale of one to ten, where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate it a four.

The solution could be less expensive. We can do monthly payments if we like; however, usually, we do a yearly subscription.

I don't have enough information about the licensing costs of Microsoft Exchange, but I do know that you need two types of licenses to run it. You need the product key and the client access key to activate Microsoft Exchange. This means that apart from the standard Microsoft Exchange licensing fees, you have to pay additional costs.

Microsoft Exchange itself does not require a license, but users who will have mailboxes will require a license. It depends on the number of users to choose which license. If you exceed 2,000 mailboxes, it's preferable to get the enterprise license.

Licensing costs for Microsoft Exchange have increased, but are still fair. For some users, the cost is high considering the number of functions and features they will use.

We renew the product license with Microsoft every three years. The cost is included within a bundle of services. It's an enterprise agreement with Microsoft.

Microsoft Exchange is a very well-priced solution. Depending on their use case, they can purchase a variety of licenses.

There are different pricing tiers, and I don't remember all the costs for that. For Office 365, it depends on the license price per mailbox user. And for the on-premises version, there is a scale license. Overall, it's about average for the market. The on-premises license is a bit more costly because there is a requirement for OS-level licensing. And we offer a standard edition, so it is a little more straightforward to figure out the cost. We can also go for enterprise pricing. It depends on what the client needs.

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. Typically, the larger the number of users, the lesser the price. For small to medium companies like us, we feel it is expensive. However, for a large company, where they have thousands of employees the cost is distributed. We do not receive this kind of benefit because of the small company size. They should provide more discounts for the small companies because we do not complain or create too many problems for Microsoft. For large companies that have 10,000 employees, the problems are huge and different. They use a lot of Microsoft support. Small companies that have less than 300 people should get a discount, we do not qualify for their volume discount that starts at 500 people. They should not put these kinds of restrictions on giving discounts. I expect Microsoft to come up with some different options for small to mid companies in the future.

Microsoft doesn't have a unit price, it's based on the quantity, and they offer great discounts.

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.

It's a little bit expensive. Microsoft is now introducing a new pricing model which is subscription-based. Previously, it was a one-time purchase and you could use it until the product came to the end of life. Now it's subscription-based and you can use the subscription yearly. Customers can benefit from this new pricing model because it's expensive, and now with the subscription, they can budget for this.

They are flexible when it comes to pricing, unlike most of the other vendors I have dealt with.
