What Our Customers Say
Join thousands of satisfied customers who trust Exchange Savvy with their most critical data.
The best customer service I’ve seen in IT.
‘ExchangeSavvy simplified a complex Microsoft process into a few easy steps. Their support team guided me at every stage with patience and precision. The migration was smooth and staff didn’t even notice the transition.’
Justin
System Administrator at Pikes Peak Library District
ExchangeSavvy did exactly what it claimed to do. Further, in our situation, my company underwent personnel changes in the middle of this project, which significantly delayed it. ExchangeSavvy graciously extended our license period by several months to allow us to complete the project. Further, the support (live!!!) we received was simply outstanding and included ExchangeSavvy staff on Teams calls, walking our staff through the setup and execution of the migration process. I would absolutely, and without question, recommend ExchangeSavvy!
Mike Scallion
Sr. Escalation Engineer at ProTech Services
My company decided to migrate its on-prem Exchange server to Microsoft 365. In the course of that process, it became clear that Microsoft was phasing out Exchange public folders in favor of SharePoint. Preserving and surfacing the metadata associated with each message was critical to enabling our users to easily follow email conversations without opening each .eml file to review its contents. We looked at several vendors, but the price point and feature set of ExchangeSavvy were exactly what we needed. The product is powerful, flexible, and very cost-effective. ExchangeSavvy was able to migrate our entire Public Folder dataset onto SharePoint and simultaneously extract the metadata (To: From: Date Sent: Subject: etc.) from each message, place each in a custom field, and modify the view in SharePoint to give our users a Mailbox-like view of the Public Folder data in SharePoint.
