The Pros and Cons of Cloud-Based Email

There are list of the pros and cons of moving any organization’s email environment to the
Cloud:

Pros:

in a huge cost savings for your organization.
 Cloud-based email is completely scalable.
 Cloud-based email is always up-to-date with the latest security patches and
features.
 No need to purchase software, unless you’re looking for a front-end redundancy.
 Email lives in the Cloud; if one of your systems goes down, it’s still backed up
there.
 Integrating mobile devices.
 A Service-oriented model creates better service relationships than typical “sell
and forget” software.

 Cons:

 The Cloud provider is responsible for not only securing your service, but also
providing you with visibility into how they secure it – if you don’t go with a
trustworthy Cloud provider, you may end up not getting access to the information
you’re entitled to.
 Cloud-based email solutions mean that you lose a certain degree of physical control
over your email (and the fact that it’s not stored on-premises), so it’s important to
pick a service provider you can trust.
