I was using Lotus Notes five to six years ago. It was centrally based in our head office. I didn’t contribute to it. Later, when I applied to have my own email solution, I chose Microsoft.

I used Google Hangouts briefly, but I have been using Microsoft Teams for conferencing.
I am not well versed in Google Hangouts. I have issues when it is not Teams, which is why I use it all of the time.
When it's not Teams, I sometimes have issues with the desktop that I am using, and the microphone and speakers are not always properly configured.
I have a camera with an integrated microphone attached to my desktop, as well as speakers connected to the desktop, and there is occasionally an incorrect selection in the inputs for the microphone.
I am not sure if this is a problem with Google Hangout, Zoom, or something else. I know that Teams always works and that my computer always knows which option is the correct one.
At the start of COVID, when I started using these applications more, like everyone else. I recall attending a meeting where my camera was turned on but I was completely silent because I couldn't figure out how to make my microphone or select the input, and the meeting had already begun, my colleagues took over and I was there, people could see my face, but I couldn't speak.
Now that I've gotten a lot better at this, if the audio doesn't work within the first few minutes of the meeting, I can usually fix it by going into settings and selecting, trying every input until I can actually test and see that, the microphone is now picking up my voice.
Microsft Teams works great for finding the microphone on my machine, or the microphone associated with my camera, but not so well for other applications.
In addition to Microsoft Exchange Online, we use Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel Teams, and sometimes PowerPoint.

We formerly worked with Unix-based mail servers. The positive side is that you're flexible. You could use different hardware. You get limited with Microsoft.

I've used Exchange my entire career. My best friend is currently trying to get rid of Lotus Notes where he's at. He's been working on that for a year now, and it just doesn't seem to want to go away. I've always been with this product. I did a bunch of work with GroupWise and got GroupWise out of the environment and so forth - replacing that with Active Directory. However, that really didn't have a mail component to it.
View full review »Microsoft Exchange Online is the first service I've used, and all the new services in the market are a little bit different from this solution. Microsoft is a very old company, and almost all of my colleagues started with Microsoft products, so it's just natural to continue using Microsoft Exchange Online.

I previously worked with the IBM Domino mail system. Compared to the on-premises model of Microsoft Exchange Online, the IBM Domino mail system's maintenance and administration upgrades were less complicated.

I previously used Microsoft Exchange on-premise, and we switched because we wanted to use the cloud.
View full review »As stated earlier, I have used Exchange on premises solutions, google, ATT, Rackspace and other solutions. They all do mail and do it well, however the ease of integration, simplicity of administration, and the overall support is the best!

We used to have an on-premise deployment of Lotus Notes, however, we discontinued using this and swapped over to Microsoft Exchange Online with the help of an external consultant as there was a lot of mailbox migration to do. That was a quite lengthy process due to the fact that we had several terabytes of mail storage that had to be migrated.

A long time ago we used Zimbra and Postmaster. In comparison, in terms of manageability there was a concern with those solutions. Exchange excels in comparison.

We upgraded from earlier versions of Exchange to the current Exchange Online. We noticed that the last version had a limitation of data storage. With the current Exchange Online, if I have a license, I can have unlimited storage. So, I do not have to worry about anything, and I can keep all of the emails on the cloud, accessible from all of my devices. It is also a welcome integration with all Microsoft Suite products. This is a nice added advantage.
