(1-25 of 49)MS Exchange On-Prem - A Business Need
- Email delivery
- Email storage
- Email archival
- Support for non-Windows clients
- Routing emails to the appropriate individual or group.
- Providing advanced email management options, such as filtering and routing.
- Providing calendar collaboration, with the ability to control who can see my calendar.
- Exchange spam filtering can be inconsistent at times.
- Exchange task integration is lacking key features such as schedule integration.
- According to IT colleagues, Exchange servers are tedious to manage and upgrade from a set-up administration perspective.
- Thanks to group e-mail, you don't require project stakeholders' contact details. Project managers may quickly give comments and information by e-mailing that group.
- It simplifies mailbox management.
- Favorite feature: calendar. This function shows which meeting rooms are vacant or full. Meetings are easy to organize.
- In grouped emails, you can't limit the list when you open it.
- Slow page loads. Needs work.
- Email synchronization can be sluggish, and there's no permanent solution.
- Supporting devices can be simply connected
- The product is Outlook-friendly
- Microsoft Exchange streamlines communication across Microsoft-based programs and devices
- It only works with Microsoft products. Google applications are more generic. Oracle Linux is better.
- Recent changes aren't trustworthy, and many email issues aren't fixable
- Real-time connectivity requires a server
Your mailbox organized as easy as you want.
- Ease of use.
- Clear interface.
- Easy integration between desktop and mobile devices.
- Wizard to migrate a mailbox from Exchange to Exchange Online keeping subfolders.
- Wizard configuring a Microsoft 365 mailbox in a mobile device.
- The Online version has not had the same options for customizing the interface as On-Premise.
Microsoft Exchange - the default email server
- An excellent email server
- Spam filtering system
- Shared mailbox across multiple departments
- In-built firewall for inbound and outbound emails
- Integration with other mail server/services
- Archiving can be better implemented
- Online web interface appears crowded
- Settings options slightly confusing
Collaboration starts with Exchange.
- As we have a large user base of 11,000 users we use MailTips to avoid people getting confused with people with similar names in the organization.
- The integration between Teams Meeting and Resource booking is generally very good. The Scheduling Assistance makes it easy to scan calendars and find free periods to provisionally scheduled events.
- Marking yourself as Out of the Office and busy is easy, as is sharing your calendar within the team/organization or individuals.
- Voicemail integration and the ability to receive missed chats in your inbox are highly used and useful.
- Exchange Online has a limitation of only being able to send a message to 500 recipients within a 24-hour period. Bulk emails may therefore require batching.
- Initially, provisioning users can take a little while due to mailboxes being created and policies applied. It would be advisable to give a least 24 hours.
- PowerShell skills are recommended to perform bulk administrative operations. They may be slow and tedious from the Administrative Console.
Microsoft Exchange Review
- Access to email services
- Teams
- Keeps documents off your computer or server and freeing up space
- May be more secure
- when saving a document, it would be nice to have the ability to save in the cloud and on a computer at the same time if so desired
- ease of downloading documents to a computer
- not having to have anything encrypted when downloading documents
We are in a hybrid environment with exchange on site\prem for mailboxes and some on the cloud using MS 365
- Reliable access to email, calendar, and contacts including accessing these using a cell phone.
- Very secure and can be used with third party firewalls systems.
- Reduced Costs and Flexibility.
- Updated a lot by Microsoft and is very popular.
- The two main factors for the better reliability & Uptime of internally hosted Exchange Server depends on Exchange Server configuration and the level of investment the organization is willing to provide for hosting the Exchange Server On-Premise Environment. As the data is stored in the organization’s hardware, any disaster may lead to the loss of email and servers.
- Losing data might affect business continuity and rebuilding it can be costly.
- Security remains a major concern.
- Security of data loss is main concern. To ensure that, organization needs to configure networks, systems and Exchange platform against possible threats.
- Hardware and license costs are high.
- Spam filtering
- Data loss prevention
- Reports and metrics on email usage
- High availability and uptime
- Ease of access
- User friendly
- The documentation is not always up to date.
- Microsoft occasionally changes things without informing us.
- The administration interface feels somewhat clunky.
BEST Email/Information E-Record keeping tool
- Sharing your Schedule with other users.
- Keeping record of your communications and Project documentations.
- Easy to find or locate the information from old History.
- View/ locate your day schedule and setting up recovering meetings.
- Able to review your writings with AI, for example, Grammarly which tells the level of your writing and hints the errors/other details.
- Allow users to backup their emails and restore on other accounts.
- Emails
- Calendar appointments
- Disable new Outlook for Windows
- Manage Recipients
- Mobile Access for shared content
A robust and secure corporate email server.
- An in-built calendar to manage your daily work schedule. Let's you create events, invite a particular group of people, accept invitations, and remind you of your upcoming meetings and tasks.
- I also like the daily emails we get from Exchange that ask you to set aside time for yourself or your other hobbies to take a short break from monotonous work.
- The email categorization feature is pretty good, especially the sort/search filtering option to navigate through your emails, which can also go through your deleted emails.
- It has an excellent spam-filtering feature which greatly reduces the chance of malware and spam. I have hardly seen spam emails get through their filter. On the other hand, it also recognizes emails from external organizations that may be spam, but are important work emails.
- I wish there are more options in the email filters. For example, I have been unable to find a way to look for emails from a particular date without scrolling through all the emails containing particular keywords.
- Third-party application integration isn't very well developed. It could have been a great option to widen the scope of usage for Exchange.
- The UI is fine, but it could be a bit more robust and intuitive. Pop-ups and dialog boxes especially have poor design, which reduces the user experience.
Review
- User management is simple. Creating, deleting, and moving mailboxes and distribution lists is simple.
- The Active Directory integration is excellent. Once again, this is the best of the best.
- Mobile device integration is possible. Integration with Microsoft Outlook is quick, easy, and effective.
- Troubleshooting problems can be difficult. Even for seasoned Exchange Admins, some of the issues that arise are not particularly intuitive.
- Exchange cost is costly, both in terms of hardware and, more importantly, in terms of software.
- It's not something you want a novice to set up or manage. You'll need administrators who are familiar with Microsoft Exchange.
Microsoft Exchange - bringing People Closer
- All in One Solution - From sending emails to setting reminder, it does all.
- Ability to create variety of rules for receiving emails.
- Multiple folders can be created and different retention policy can be applied.
- Better view when multiple emails are opened.
- Better filtering of spam emails.
- Recovery of deleted emails can have more options.
Microsoft Exchange
- Out-of-office automatic reply
- Delegate access to allow others to check designated components like e-mail, tasks lists and calendars
- Recovery of Sent Messages
- Should be easy to use.
- Enhanced security
- Should have anti spam detection.
Microsoft Exchange - The right choice
- Ease of management
- Active Directory Integration
- Great security features
- Easy mailbox management
- User comfort and familiarity are unmatched
- Would love to be able to shrink database size.
- Better built in spam filtering capabilities.
A super email manager
- Email management
- Managing shared calendars
- Task and topic tracking
- Integration with cloud documents
- Integration with OneNote
- Synchronize your agenda with the project, which gives you a great advantage when working on a project.
- Manage your emails in an easy and agile way.
- Provides a high level of security for all users.
- It has the ability to sync with other collaborative tools.
- As a start, if the price of licenses were lowered a little, you would help many small companies.
- Increasing the storage space of the mailboxes in the same way if it could be increased would be an excellent plus for end-users.
- If I could add some way that users could see the emails they have in quarantine, that would be great.
Who doesn't use Exchange?!?!
- We use the calendar function the most. With 8 managing partners, and 40 staff members it helps us keep track of who is in the office, who is in a meeting and which conference room is being used. It is also used to keep track of who is using video conference so we can keep the streaming down during those moments.
- I personally love that the email files you can create to organize your emails. I am balancing several different functions so it necessary to be able to quickly access and locate emails.
- We use group emails the most. It is a great tool to have for our project managers. When you have larger projects with several different consultants and team members, it is easier to create a contact list of all those involved than to remember each persons email ever time you need to send something out.
- When using a grouped email list, if you want to see who is in that list you have to expand it. However, a warning comes up that tells you once you expand it you cant collapse it. So the only way to verify who is in that list is to go into the properties of it and click through the list. It would be nice if the collapse feature was still available.

Microsoft is the Gold Standard for a Secure and stable Corporate Email Server Infrastructure.
- [Microsoft] Exchange is the gold standard for Corporate email. It is flawless in maintaining and delivering email to all of our users. It has been around so long the thing it does the best is just work. Most of the flaws and bugs are already out of the system.
- The GUI management tools for MS Exchange, whether Online or on-premise, are fairly well documented and for the most part fairly easy to use.
- [Microsoft] Exchange gives you the option to have an all in one box solution. Its not recommended but for smaller shops its a nice alternative to a more extensive setup that requires multiple servers.
- If sized correctly, MS Exchanges is fine tuned out of the box to be fairly quick and responsive as to email delivery.
- [Microsoft] Exchange is best used with MS's Outlook Email client. Trying to use it with third party options, including mobile possibilities, limits some of the capability a use may have.
- If an on-premise [Microsoft] Exchange server has an issue and data corruption takes place, the method in which MS uses mail logging to restore a system can be overly complicated and take an extensive amount of time.
- If the admin need you have is not included in the Graphic interface one has to move to using Powershell to get some basic tasks done. This is a bit cumbersome for part time Exchange admins.
- Setting up Exchange to be fault tolerant can be a cumbersome process.
- Managed by us
- Reliable
