Never equal local Exchange? I would argue the complete opposite – unless we want to go back to having 200MB mailboxes, regular outages, and such. I’ve been at numerous large organisations and have never seen an on-prem Exchange system run as smoothly as O365 does.
Sure it’s not without its faults, but they’re quite rare these days and I use O365 all day every day including a tenant for my personal mail/etc. (I have accounts on 5 tenants right now). As others have mentioned, making sure you have sufficient network (and Internet) capacity is key especially during the migration. My only real complaint is having to deal with China for support. I have had some issues in the past take days to get resolved. As for migrations – I use MigrationWiz. It’s a nominal fee per mailbox and works really well. -Shaun From: AusNOG <ausnog-boun...@lists.ausnog.net> On Behalf Of Paul Wilkins Sent: Tuesday, 19 June 2018 11:04 AM To: AusNOG@lists.ausnog.net Subject: [AusNOG] [AUSNOG] o365 experience I'd be interested to hear general opinions and lessons learned from o365 migrations. So far as I've seen, the architecture (network and services) is complex, and user experience can never equal local Exchange. So much so it leaves me wondering if the effort of migration can be justified? At the end of the day, you need a performant service, not finger pointing between networks and services, and blaming performance on insufficient network/proxy scale out. Kind Regards Paul Wilkins
