Native solution. No third-party integration is required. Rock-solid. Actually many features require no extra cost (unless you want to use In-Place Hold / Litigation Hold) If you use Microsoft 365's Exchange Plan, or other similar Microsoft 365 products, I don't see any reason why you should not use this.

One of the advantages of Microsoft Exchange Online is that it eliminates the need for users to use a variety of online tools and programs for different functions. With a single domain, I'm able to supply all my employees with cross-platform email addresses. We can simply sync our calendars, which makes it easier to work together.
