Compare and contrast godaddy hosted exchange vs office365
We need to recommend to a client of 15 people a hosted email solution.
I'm debating between godaddy hosted exchange 2010 (https://www.godaddy.com/email/hosted-exchange.aspx) and godaddy office365 (resold from ms obviously, https://www.godaddy.com/business/office-365.aspx)
The chosen solution really should interface with active directory which is running on a local server in their office. So, when we disable a user or change a password, the change should be reflected on the hosted solution, and thus in their outlook/phones
I can't find a clear answer - does someone here have personal experience they can share?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Microsoft have not made the technology available to anyone else.
The only option if you have that requirement is Office365, either direct or via a reseller.
Anyone else who is doing it will be using their own application or middleware, which means you are at their mercy for support.

Be advised that the Small Business Plans do not include AD intergration. You need the mid-size plan upwards

The Midsize plans got removed this month. The Small Business Plans got overhauled as well. They are now the Business Essentials plans. Maximum of 300 users now. I believe all plans offer DirSync with PasswordSync. Its just the Enterprise plans that can only do ADFS.

Currently looking at AppRiver - does anyone have this kind of sync-setup working?
