As another alternative to Outlook, we present the product Hosted Microsoft Exchange from IONOS. Microsoft is a groupware system that enables access to contacts, appointments, and e-mail databases within a company from anywhere in the world. In short, you can open Microsoft Office anywhere you want.
The Exchange server can also be obtained directly from Microsoft. However, the hosted exchange solution from IONOS is considerably beneficial to a company’s IT department. It saves the cost of purchasing a sophisticated IT infrastructure. Hosted Microsoft Exchange from IONOS provides the required server infrastructure.
What the IONOS offer also includes is an all-round carefree package: In addition to the Outlook software as a desktop version and the management of mailboxes via Microsoft Exchange, you also receive your own e-mail domain.
The most important facts at a glance:
- Management of inboxes via Microsoft Exchange
- Microsoft Outlook software
- Real-time synchronisation
- Mobile access to all data
- 25 GB mailbox storage for each employee
The Microsoft Exchange package minimises the acquisition costs for a server structure and offers even more advantages: The administration effort is reduced because the provider takes care of mailbox maintenance, updating virus scanners and spam filters and continuously running software updates. All data is hosted on security servers with a specially secured infrastructure. If you are looking for a professional e-mail client solution, the IONOS variant is a good Outlook alternative - even if it is not available free of charge per se.
The offer may be too extensive for private users, but it is a good option for freelancers and entrepreneurs and especially for small and medium-sized companies. If you understand the importance of a professional appearance and high security standards, then you’ll benefit from an ideal price-performance ratio.
