I'm interested to get some feedback from admins / engineers on their migration path experiences. I'm running 2007 exchange on private cloud at present. I am considering 2013 exchange in azure but have since found out there are issues with load balancing so it looks like on prem in my private cloud is the only way to go. Office 365 is another option but throws up major issues with performance for terminal services and Citrix. I'm aware of companies that have moved from office 365 back to on prem as the experience was bad. The hybrid model also throws up issues with sharing calendar, shared mailboxes and O365 users sending via cloud smtp with local mailboxes using the on prem smtp.<br />

I'm only referring to larger networks 500 user plus. Thanks

Office 2007 migration to 2013 or office 365

Office 365 is a group of software plus services subscriptions that provides productivity software and related services to its subscribers. Office 365 allows the use of Microsoft Office apps on Windows and OS X, provides storage space on Microsoft's cloud storage service OneDrive, and grants 60 Skype minutes per month. Office 365 includes e-mail and social networking services through hosted versions of Exchange Server, Skype for Business Server, SharePoint and Office Online, integration with Yammer, as well as access to the Office software. All of Office 365's components can be managed and configured through an online portal; users can be added manually, imported from a CSV file, or Office 365 can be set up for single sign-on with a local Active Directory using Active Directory Federation Services.

Microsoft 365

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.
