Microsoft's Exchange Server really came of age with the release of version 2007. Exchange 2007 offers a solid and complete messaging platform. The beta release of Exchange 2010 serves up even more features and functionality and looks like it may be the most robust Exchange offering yet.
Exchange has long enjoyed the lion's share of the business messaging platform market. Does this mean that it is the best e-mail platform offering out there? Some would argue that isn't the case. Microsoft dominates in the business client/server software market, so it stands to reason that Exchange would be the "best fit" for an organization already running a Windows environment. Perhaps that fact accounts as a major reason Exchange is so widely deployed.
However, IBM's Domino platform with Lotus Notes still has a strong following. Die-hard Lotus Notes fans cite stability and security as the primary benefits for eschewing Exchange for Notes. We took a side-by-side view at the two latest releases of each platform: Exchange 2010 and Lotus Domino 8.5 and each e-mail server's respective clients: Outlook 2007 and Lotus Notes client 8. We assessed each in five key areas: installation and deployment, interoperability and customization, feature set, performance and pricing.
