An average Exchange server installation is a 10 step process:

  1. Buying server-class hardware
  2. Installing and configuring Windows Server
  3. Installing and configuring DNS and Active Directory
  4. Installing additional Exchange prerequisites (IIS)
  5. Planning and installing Exchange Server
  6. Managing Active Directory accounts with Exchange mailboxes
  7. Handling Exchange Information Store growth
  8. Securing SMTP and other protocols
  9. Implementing an Exchange Backup and Recovery solution
  10. Writing scripts to manage needs not available with current admin tools

By comparison, use of Exchange with AppRiver requires only one step:

  1. Log into the Shoreline control panel from a web browser.

Additionally, many Hosted Exchange providers require support tickets or additional communication to accomplish the built-in features that Shoreline provides.

Just wanted to thank you for your help once again, and let you know that the entire staff here, including myself, are absolutely amazed at what a great job your service is doing. We quite simply love everything about it, from the great daily held mail reports (an awesome feature!!) to the ease of use, to most importantly the staggeringly good job you do trapping spam and viruses. The load on our server and annoyance in our mailboxes have simply disappeared. There's no better way to say it.
