Is MS Exchange a threat to your network?

One question that was posed to me today is whether implementing MS Exchange in a small business environment poses more of a threat to a network than using a more traditional POP3/hosted approach.

 

My answer was that, quite the contrary, in our experience, implementing MS Exchange provides a more centralised approach to email than the POP3 method and so is far easier to police, no matter how big the site.

 

Our experience goes as far as the 200 user mark but the majority of our customers would fit into the 5 - 25 user bracket. Having MS Exchange installed at their site has always lead to an increase in productivity and a decrease in overall spam and malware outbreaks, given the correct anti-X tools.

Why not use Google Apps instead?

A good point, however, Google apps are limited in their features. Many of our customers would utilise a lot of features that exist in excel or word but not in a Google App. Secondly Exchange provides multi user access to different mailboxes that can all be centrally managed which makes our life a lot easier and allows us to provide solutions that our customers ask for. In any case, why would google mail be more or less prone to malware?
