From my experience I can tell that it's almost always possible to find better alternatives for Microsoft products and technologies. It seems like the only people who use MS stuff are those who don't care about what they have at hand.
- johns 18y agoOr those for which it would cost a substantial amount of time (and therefore money) to learn a new stack of technologies when they can use existing skills to build stuff more quickly.
- cstejerean 18y agoLearning new things always costs time and money, it's called an investment and in the case of getting off the MS stack, it's well worth it.
- woodsier 18y agoFor some. You're over generalizing here.
- briansmith 18y agoLet's say you have $200 a month to spend on email and collaboration. You have no IT staff, no programmers, and you have no IT experience of your own. What is better than (hosted) Sharepoint + Exchange?
- alecco 18y agoIf you are in that amount of money you are better off with Google Apps free hosting. One day of Exchange expert for setup or problems is in the hundreds.
- briansmith 18y agoGoogle Apps isn't even close to being better than Office+Exchange+Sharepoint. You can get hosted Exchange and Sharepoint for $15/user/month, with no setup fees.
