Reasons to Migrate from Exchange
MDaemon Messaging Server, from a total cost of ownership consideration, is much less expensive to purchase, maintain, and upgrade than Microsoft Exchange. From a staffing point-of-view, Exchange usually requires at least one highly-trained IT professional with compensation requirements beyond the means of budget-conscious organizations. Such staffing support can add tens of thousands of dollars (U.S.) to the annual cost of owning Exchange.

- Initial software purchase
- Upgrades

- Operations
- Feature set, including security
