It has helped us because we don't have to worry about servers crashing. Everything has been stable since we began migrating to the cloud.

The integration with other Microsoft products is a major reason we chose this solution. It offers a single account that links to all other Microsoft services.

For example, I don't need to create a separate email address to share something with you. I can access and retrieve information within the same platform via the same email. It just makes everything synchronized perfectly, allowing me to get most things done and ensure my clients can reach me easily.

Overall, the solution has improved our communication efficiency. 

The calendaring functions in Exchange are good. For example, if I want to schedule a meeting and the other person isn't available during that time, I can see their availability and diagnostics. This helps me know if they're busy or need time on their calendar. The calendar admin is awesome, not just on the desktop but also online.

I've integrated it with a network monitoring solution before. It's quite seamless. Overall, it's pretty straightforward for me to use.

Exchange Online has helped us properly manage email communications in the company and also from employees to other users outside the company. Microsoft has deployed a lot of newer features on Exchange Online that have helped improve security, email management, email trace, mail flows, and all else. This has been very helpful for us.

I have made about 10 migrations from Gmail, ATT, Amplex, 2007 - 2013 on prem Exchange servers to Exchange Online. The uptime and stability is far better than any on-prem or hosted solution I have used in the past.

Being a MS partner gives you central administration over all of your customers.

There are two aspects to the improvement of our organization. First, is the data reliability, the ability for an administrator to provide data which has been in the user's mailbox. For example, if someone lost the email because of inadvertently deleting the emails, or anything, any object inside the inbox, whether it's a contact or a folder or an email. The admin can actually go and restore that information quite easily, rather than any other solution. 

Second, the mobility of the solution helps solve issues with information access across varied platforms. This has helped us if there are issues concerning emails that must be recovered due to legal issues, and the like.

Exchange Online doesn't just do email, it allows for collaboration with inbuilt chat and calling facilities and document sharing. It also gives you a bigger inbox per account (50GB) than Gmail.

From the security point of view, you can specify the IP range from the area your system should be connected. You can have the authentication based on the user certificates of your Active Directory. This improves the security, as well. There is a flawless integration. This is something I like about Exchange.

Previously, we hosted our email servers with GoDaddy. We migrated the email addresses to Office 365 and we enabled mailboxes in Exchange Online and we now manage the email focus from our side. I administrate this for our company through Microsoft Exchange.

A better approach for them to use Exchange Online was to have the host serve us in a cloud service. 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.

I think with Exchange, it's a lot of integration functionality with the Skype for business. It's quite accepted if you like an almost-defective standard. Especially in the region that we email them, definitely in the Asia-Pacific region or at least Oceania region. It's really easy to use. The the room and shared mailbox functionality that people use, it just all really works well together.

There is only one use case for our clients, we sell the solution to clients that can not afford to build on-site data centers and therefore they need an online solution.

One of the best products. What I really love about SharePoint especially is SharePoint online.

Not only will you get the SharePoint benefits, but it's also highly available. I made a migration with more than 4 companies at Egypt from file server to Sharepoint online. They were very happy because of the stability of the cloud and they forgot the troubleshooting to the servers. They can just focus on the administration of SharePoint online.

Also one of these companies doesn't have an IT professional admin or even help desk, so they are working with Skype for Business online. With Exchange SharePoint and one drive, they are happy because of the storage they have as well as not needing an IT professional to administer it. It just requires adding some features and assigning some permissions and they are very happy and satisfied with SharePoint (the Office 365 suite).

One of the solutions of Office 365 is Exchange Online:

Exchange Online is part of the Office 365 family. It provides a lot of features, but the most important one to me is that it's always available, meaning I have no maintenance headaches. It's available 99% of the time, which means that downtime is less than a half hour per year -- which is awesome for any organization. From my experience, Exchange Online is very stable, there's never downtime, and users are satisfied with the 50 GB mailbox they each get (useful for when they, for example, forget to delete emails or something like that). They can also just connect via internet and they will be up and running. Also, while the migration is neither difficult nor easy, it's a nice feature. The option to stay with hybrid with Exchange premium is good too because that if I don't have enough money to extend my users, I can still stick with the free version.

The management is very simple, using Exchange Online. So basically you just start a license. So that way, management is very simple.

In terms of mail, it is on the cloud and there is a lot of dependency on the internal server, which is not exactly great. 

The online version is faster, as it is a cloud instance. We can have massive mailbox capacity: 100 GB per user, which is huge. We can't provision such capacity internally, as the company would get burnt out paying for mailbox storage. You have no idea how relieved the Fortune 500 company mail admins were with this.
