    It was not bad but crosswire is a far more mature product with great support.

    Chose Exclaimer
    Exclaimer provides much more flexibility with regards to designs and customised rules. It's also much easier to manage all aspects on the platform itself, both on-prem and cloud.

    Crossware
    It works really well with Exchange Online/Office 365 environments with a very simple setup and ease of customization and easy to use and understand management panel. Not sure how well it works on on-premises deployments as I have not tested it in that scenario.

    Exclaimer
    We needed to move away from self-designed signatures (or rather, signatures that staff were provided when they joined the company) and move to a more uniform solution that would allow us to make important changes forcibly appear on all emails - these were namely terms and conditions, especially during times of difficulty such as covid. Whilst this was a requirement, each branch had specific information such as a number and postcode, and some even had their own specific branding. It was vital that we be able to make a signature but still be able to control what does and doesn't apply.

    Cons
    Crossware
    • The signature editor could be more intuitive.
    • The rules and the way they are applied need to be simplified/streamlined.
    • A better way to test the signatures.

    Exclaimer
    • Exclaimer's campaign rotation feature is not under campaigns and could be more intuitively placed within the platform.
    • It would be helpful if they had an infographic to guide not IT but everyday users through initial set up and use. They do have great videos, but the impatient people need an infographic.
    • Exclaimer's language in the platform can be a little clunky. It might be good to have it reviewed by Americans and Brits and try and find a happy medium that is relatively intuitive for both.

    We are very happy with exclaimer it runs 99.9% of the time without any issues. It also very easy to use and maintain and the design team are happy to use it as its so user friendly. When compared to how much time we used to spend updating banners exclaimer saves us hours. This more than justifies the cost and when it comes to renew we wont be thinking twice about doing so

    In the order that I recall the setup process: Signature templates need to be set up (attribute mapping to AD) Office 365 connector needs to be set up (global admin needed and exclaimer engineer for guidance) Signature policies need to be set up (who gets which signatures) Office membership groups need to be setup (who in the org will use exclaimer) Members need to be added to those groups (user membership) Agents need to be deployed on the end-user hosts (local agent)

    Fortunately, we haven't had to deal with support much, but every time we have, they were very responsive and were able to either fix our problem or explain the way it worked in a timely and polite manner. Not much else to say other than being in the same region is also a plus for support.

    I've only had one issue in 7 years where I needed to reach out to Exclaimer for support, but it was handled quickly and resolved my issue. No messing around to provide additional information. Just a quick solution to what I was facing which resolved the issue on the first go around.

    Our implementation was relatively easy as we weren't cutting over from anything. We just got the software installed, set up the file share and got active directory set up. We got exsync on a scheduled task and it just worked. We built our templates and policies and it has always been relatively smooth.

    In my opinion, Exclaimer offers far superior ease of use while also offering much more functionality which is greatly appreciated for us. I've also found that Exclaimer is less prone to issues with users, which helps lighten the load on the IT team.
