Experience with Microsoft Online Services hosted Exchange [closed]

Solution 1:

My company migrated from our own internal exchange server to BPOS. We used a third party tool from http://bpos-experts.com for the switch...I too was a bit concerned about having things off-site, but management on an ongoing basis has been simple.

Solution 2:

If you are a small company ( <50 employees ) it will probably work fine. In a bigger company (we have thousands of employees) it has proven to be very unreliable. It has a limited amount of admin accounts. The services go down regularly. The requirement for running a ridiculous applet (slow and memory consuming) to run Outlook is a turn off. For a bigger company it is more cost effective (and reliable) to run your own in house Exchange server.
