I'm not sure it's outrageous tbh, considering with Exchange you have a CAL cost, an Antispam cost, an antivirus cost and (the expensive part) the costs of having someone take care of it - it's the last part that I expect is the issue for a lot of small businesses.

Wow that's pretty steep for the service they provide....... $50 a seat, really????

Goggle Apps cost $50 per seat, per email address, per year. There are no other costs. For the $50 here's a short list of what you get: * Vanity email address / your.n...@yourdomainname.com * SSL * AntiSpam, AntiVirus * Postini * 25GB of storage per email address On Sat, Aug 21, 2010 at 3:48 AM, Dave Wade <dave.w...@stockport.gov.uk> wrote: Paul, I am a Radio Ham and one of the guys I chat to works in a small (about 25 staff) organization, and has just upgraded his system to Windows/2008r2 and Exchange 2010. When I expressed suprise that he wasn't out sourcing to Google apps or some thing of that ilk he said when costed over 4 years it looked very expensive, especially given the uncertainty in pricing given we work in Sterling...

I've never really seen it as "Google vs. Exchange" tbh, I think both do different things and suit different needs. Office with half a dozen people and no real IT need or infrastructure and I think I'd find it hard to see past Google Apps or Hosted Exchange, even scaled up to a couple dozen staff and a single server I'm not sure Exchange would be first choice simply because if nothing else you do need to back it up and someone needs to ensure that happens. On the other hand, if you have a few dozen or a few hundred users and have even a modest investment in things like a SAN or vmware and decent connectivity and someone with IT knowledge then I'm not sure it's so easy a decision. -----Original Message----- From: Jason Gurtz [mailto:jasongu...@npumail.com] Sent: 20 August 2010 13:23 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange is history?: Moved two clients to GoogleApps this week. Would definitely be interested in some details as far as client size, feature usage (shared calendars, contacts, etc...), and the technical level of the users. It seems from past things I've read, the service is better suited to companies with a greater proportion of more savvy users.
