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.

We recently moved our email over to 123Together from Intermedia. Wow - what a difference! There were constant delays at Intermedia – some emails and appointments took over 5 minutes to sync up – often locking up Outlook. At 123together it was almost instant! Support was also an issue – we had to wait 1/2 a day for support from Intermedia. At 123Together, support emails were answered in less than 10 minutes.

I have outsourced well over 100 users to 123together for a couple of years now. This is a true business-class mission-critical service and I highly recommend it. Support is top-notch and 123together is constantly working to add to their feature set. We take full advantage of public folders, support for multiple PDA types including Blackberry, Sharepoint, Postini antispam, and more. Frankly, most of the problems we have experienced have been the result of Microsoft limitations, some of which are being addressed in the forthcoming Exchange 2007 release. As far as pricing policies, any modest premiums over competitors are well warranted. Storage quotas are aggregated amongst users within a single organization. My only complaint has been that pricing plans require predicting storage utilization to avoide overage premiums (similar to cell phones). There is also no way to set hard storage quotas. Some periodic policing of storage utilization should address this, but I do wish they would change.

So I tried 123Together, and their service seemed like it would have worked well... However i discovered that the main use for the service (syncing with my phone) didn't work like i wanted it to, so I went through the hoops the cancel. However when they asked me to send my password unencrypted through EMAIL. I instead told them to call me to verify my identity. They responded, but I didn't get that email until after they had charge my account for 2 services. Another gripe. I tried adding an extra user account, which worked well, but I didn' really need it so i went to cancel that account, but couldn't do that online. So i figure it wouldn't matter cause i was cancelling during the trial period anyway, right? So i've been charge $97.50, and billed another $25 for a $20 trial.... Nice. On the phone they are only condecending telling me what I did wrong. Still waiting to see if they'll refund my money or if I have to take it up to the CC.

I'm very happy with their Exchange Server service. I used to run Exchange 2000 locally and it was a pain.

They are so nice and I liked dealing with them. Of course I’m such a pain-in-the-ass they probably would’ve appreciated it if I left...) Those guys rule!

Moving from our in-house Exchange server to a 123Together dedicated plan was among the best IT decisions we made. Now we can focus on our primary business, while 123 manages our email at a fraction of what it cost us inhouse.

I like what they do. I didn't like the $25 minimum but we really needed Exchange and everything seemed to work out for us.

I have not had a problem with 123together as a service. I don't recall a time when there was any significant downtime. They do seem to have fairly high start-up fees though and they aren't as flexible with these as I'd like.

I've been happy with 123Together from day one. We started out with just the Exchange service but as we grew we added some of the Blackberry services and it's been great for our salesforce. I don't know how efficient the team would be without them.
