Have people used Microsoft Exchange Online? Reviews? Thoughts?

I'm curious if folks are using Microsoft Exchange Online in lieu of the normal desktop Exchange - http://www.microsoft.com/online/exchange-online.mspx. I did a search but didn't find much out there. What does the Focus community think?

Michael,
As a Hosted Exchange provider I cannot speak for Microsoft's offering but we have had great success with our Hosted Exchange offering. Our customers love the ability to connect to their mailbox from almost any Internet connected device and utilize all of Exchange's enterprise features without having to deploy and manage Exchange in house. Although, there are some customers that run apps that need tighter integration with Exchange than a shared hosting platform can provide and for those customers we recommend either a dedicated Hosted Exchange environment or running Exchange in house.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Jay

I moved my exchange server from in house to hosted and it saved me a lot ofmoney and headaches. I tell people all the time to go hosted (checkout the provider of course)
