    Imprivata
    Well suited in a hospital environment when it works well. Easy to use tool so that doctors and nurses can use it without a lot of training. It becomes a lot harder to use when the tool is unreliable. You can't tell when the service is not working, unless the person sending the secure text notices that someone hasn't looked at a text in a long time.

    Creating and receiving emails is simple. Managing contacts is a nice feature, especially connecting to Active Directory. Calendar management is also helpful and sharing access to others' calendars for scheduling meetings is useful. And reserving resources such as rooms or equipment is also useful. Personal and shared mailboxes are good features, as well. Tasks are a little lacking, but other than that, the features are thorough.

    Pros
    Imprivata
    • Able to rely on texting being secured and HIPAA approved. This is valuable tool in our hospital environment.
    • Able to look at audit logs with Imprivata Cortext. This is helpful to go back and either help users in troubleshooting problems and also to help prove findings.
    • Easy to use tool to give to doctors and nurses for better communication.

    • As we have a large user base of 11,000 users we use MailTips to avoid people getting confused with people with similar names in the organization.
    • The integration between Teams Meeting and Resource booking is generally very good. The Scheduling Assistance makes it easy to scan calendars and find free periods to provisionally scheduled events.
    • Marking yourself as Out of the Office and busy is easy, as is sharing your calendar within the team/organization or individuals.
    • Voicemail integration and the ability to receive missed chats in your inbox are highly used and useful.

    Cons
    Imprivata
    • No dictation or voice recognition. Have to type out everything.
    • We have had problems with the service dropping or trouble with the cloud environment that Cortext runs on going down. We rely it on it to be up all the time and you can't tell when it's down.
    • Support isn't the greatest. Don't get great answers to questions.

    • The two main factors for the better reliability & Uptime of internally hosted Exchange Server depends on Exchange Server configuration and the level of investment the organization is willing to provide for hosting the Exchange Server On-Premise Environment. As the data is stored in the organization’s hardware, any disaster may lead to the loss of email and servers.
    • Losing data might affect business continuity and rebuilding it can be costly.
    • Security remains a major concern.
    • Security of data loss is main concern. To ensure that, organization needs to configure networks, systems and Exchange platform against possible threats.
    • Hardware and license costs are high.

    Email and calendars in a business setting are requirements. And Microsoft continues to be the standard of business applications. Microsoft 365 makes Microsoft Exchange easy to use. Everything is in the cloud. Let Microsoft take care of the hardware, the software, and the security. You just enable your business users with the functionality they need.

    Microsoft Exchange has come a long way over the years and has nowhere near the technical overhead required for support as it did back in 2003/2007 and prior. The integrations with Teams, Defender, Sharepoint, Copilot and many other products make it a solid and well-rounded tool used for many day-to-day tasks.

    We have a good enterprise agreement with Microsoft which affords us quick phone support. I have found the support staff knowledgeable and prompt with a solution when required. At times it may be difficult to schedule a call back, this is mainly due to our need for calls early in the morning which happens to be during a shift change at Microsoft support.

    Implementation/conversion can be quite complex and, unless you have certified Exchange administrators in-house, you should strongly consider a 3rd party consultant for this implementation.

    We selected Imprivata Cortext instead of Tiger Text because at that time it was a new service and they gave us good pricing compared to Tiger Text. We also selected Cortext because we use Imprivata OneSign. Now that they are probably at about the same price I would give more sway to looking at Tiger Text.

    Microsoft Exchange Product The best cloud-based enterprise-grade archiving platform with a host of features that enable files to be securely archived and retrieved with advanced search options. This tool is very easy to use and has a User-friendly interface. It is a highly reliable platform that allows all employees to automatically store their data without any limitations. It offers a cost-effective solution with customized policy management. We are happy that the customer support team is always fast and concerned, and the product's uninterrupted service experience. It is very good that it stores data in real-time without losing it, even in the event of a disaster. The cost-effective solution and integration with other tools are seamless.

    The only time Exchange has failed us is when we did something to cause the failure.

    Return on Investment
    Imprivata
    • Saves time by allowing the doctor or nurse to send messages when they have time, instead of dedicating time and waiting on phone calls.
    • Negative impact when the service doesn't work and nurses and doctors become used to it working. All of the sudden they are spending time trying to determine if it's working or not and spending time waiting on receiving texts.

    • It has been an important factor in allowing seamless communication with clients and scheduling business meetings, which in turn works in the company's favor.
    • Haven't noticed any negative impact Exchange has had on our ROI. The support team is also responsive and helpful.
