Gartner comments on Microsoft Exchange 2010 (August 2010):
Exchange 2010, which is starting to increase its market penetration, promises improvements in storage efficiencies, high availability and disaster recovery, as well as more granular administration control and user self-service options. We expect adoption to follow the normal trajectory of previous Exchange releases, peaking at 50% by the end of 2012… in 1H11 it will update Exchange Online with the 2010 version of Exchange, which is better suited to working in a multitenant environment. The current 2007 (Exchange Online) cloud release lacks some essential features, such as password synchronization, a health and performance console, multi-mailbox search and end-user password resetting. Furthermore, simple e-mail administration requests, such as to track a message, forward mail to an external mail box and disable ActiveSync require submission of a service request to the Exchange Online help desk, which creates operational inefficiencies for customers.”
Why Gartner ranks Exchange 2010 as the top performing messaging application for E-mail

The past year brought substantial progress in the long march toward provision of e-mail as a cloud service, but most activity still centers on premises-based offerings. Against this background, Gartner evaluates eight providers of e-mail systems (both cloud and premises based).The recommendations of industry analyst heavyweights such as Gartner save significant time and cost in the research and analysis of ICT departments themselves.).
