Exchange Online vs. Exchange 2010

Exchange Online vs. Exchange 2010

Exchange Online for Office 365 for enterprises
Exchange Server 2010
Cost
Without the need to purchase, upgrade, and manage hardware, Exchange Online can help reduce total cost of ownership (not to mention the burden on overstretched IT staff). Updates, upgrades, and 24/7 IT-level phone support are included in the cost of most Office 365 plans.
Product improvements in the areas of storage, high availability, administration, and more help reduce TCO. You must still deploy and manage software and hardware in-house.
Management & control
Frees you from many day-to-day management tasks while providing control over policies, security, compliance, and other key aspects of the service.
Provides the greatest degree of control over configuration and customization.
Integration with other productivity workloads
Automatically configured to work with Lync Online and SharePoint Online.
Designed to work seamlessly with Microsoft Lync and Microsoft SharePoint, but integration must be configured and managed.
Reporting
Rich reports and data available but not at the same level of detail as Exchange Server.
Complete visibility into the deployment down to the level of server logs.
Anywhere access
Accessed securely over the Internet, and therefore inherently provides mobile access by default.
Mobile access is easy to set up and manage, but you must deploy it yourself.
Mailbox size
25 GB by default.
Configurable to meet your organization’s needs and policies.
Compliance
Same feature set available as in Exchange Server 2010.
Personal Archive, legal hold, multi-mailbox search, and other features help make compliance easier.
Anti-spam/
antivirus
Forefront Online Protection for Exchange included at no extra cost.
Microsoft Forefront Online Protection for Exchange or Microsoft Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server are included in some of our prouct suites, such as the Enterprise CAL Suite, Exchange Enterprise CAL with services or may be licensed individually.
Regulatory compliance
Meets many compliance requirements and Office 365 datacenters have a number of certifications. For organizations that need to keep data within a certain geographical location, Exchange Server 2010 may be the optimal choice.
Can be configured to meet virtually any compliance need.
Reliability and high availability
High availability and reliability built in, including a financially backed, 99.9% uptime guarantee.
New high availability architecture makes it easier and less expensive than ever before to implement high availability.
