We were big fans of Intermeida until the pricing went extremely high and support and uptime fell though the floor. We just recovered from no inbound email service for 4 days. It took 2 days before the Russiun support team to acknolege a problem and then 2 days to think about it. The previous outage we were down for 3 days and they had to restore from tape (So much for EMC relablity) Pricing for sharepoint is over $400 per month and so slow you can watch paint dry. We are looking for a new providor and hopefully get off this mess asap.
Exchange Hosting Reviews
Dedicated or Shared Exchange Server
There are really no two services that are exactly alike when comparing one Exchange Hosting provider to another. To say that a shared server offering has anything specific would not be helpful or accurate. Instead, we will give some broad generalizations that will help you to better understand the differences between the two offerings.
For most companies, the shared server approach is the most cost effective. However, once the number of mailboxes in the company reaches a certain threshold (which will vary from company to company depending on specific needs) it will be important to migrate to a dedicated server option. It is important to find out the process the Exchange Hosting provider uses in this case.
Shared Server | Dedicated Server |
Mailbox sizes will be limited to a plan or series of plans | You decide how best to divide up the given amount of mailbox space |
99.5% to 99.9% uptime guarantee | Up to a 100% uptime guarantee |
Multiple other companies will have mailboxes on the server | Regardless of the number of mailboxes you have you will have the server entirely to yourself |
Many companies will not require a contract so you can come and go as you please (within reason) | Because companies must buy hardware, they will make you sign a contract keeping you in their plan for a minimum of 1-year |
Very little, if any, administrative control over the company mailboxes | You can use rules and policies to manage and maintain the many mailboxes you will have |
