Using Exclaimer vs Microsoft Exchange [Comparison]
Brought to you by Exclaimer
Using email signature software is a great way to manage email signatures processed by Exchange. Let’s see how managing Exchange signatures in Exclaimer compares to just using the in-built editor in Microsoft Exchange.
Exclaimer is designed specifically for Exchange signature management, so it works with:
-
Exchange 2019
-
Exchange 2016
-
Exchange 2013
Drag-and-drop Signature Designer
Exclaimer comes with an intuitive drag-and-drop signature editor, so you no longer have to worry about coding HTML. Create dynamic signatures, easily add promotional banners, user photos or social media icons, and see instant updates.
The editor is so easy to use, you don’t have to be an IT expert to use it! You can hand the reins over to your Marketing department to create professional, branded signatures.
Advanced user management
You also have the option to give multiple people access to Exclaimer, and with our advanced user management feature, you can easily assign admin or editor roles. Even better, they don’t have to be an IT administrator to use it!
The most secure Exchange signature management solution
Exclaimer was the first cloud-based email signature solution to be accredited with the ISO/IEC 27001 Certification for Information Security Management. This means it is the most secure Exchange signature solution available.
Nothing to install
Exclaimer does not require any installations or downloads; email signatures are created and managed via a web portal which can be accessed from anywhere. This makes managing signatures much simpler, as you’re not restricted to one device.
Office 365 ready
The only requirement to use Exclaimer is for an organization’s local Active Directory to be synchronized and configured with Azure AD.
However, it's designed to be a future-proof solution, easily allowing for a migration to Office 365 (now Microsoft 365). When you decide to migrate to the cloud, your email signatures will transition seamlessly with you.
