When comparing AppRiver and Office 365, both offer email and collaboration solutions, but there are key differences that impact business communication.
AppRiver primarily focuses on providing secure email services and advanced cybersecurity solutions. It offers hosted Exchange, email filtering, anti-spam, and malware protection, which are crucial for businesses needing robust security. However, AppRiver's collaboration features are more limited compared to Office 365. It provides basic tools for email management and security but lacks comprehensive productivity features like those found in Office 365.
In contrast, Office 365 (now Microsoft 365) is a complete productivity suite that goes beyond email. It offers Outlook for email management, along with Teams for collaboration, OneDrive for cloud storage, and SharePoint for document management. Office 365 also includes applications like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, offering a more integrated experience for both communication and collaboration within teams.
Office 365 is better suited for businesses looking for a comprehensive solution that includes not just email but a full suite of productivity tools. AppRiver excels in security but lacks the breadth of collaboration features and integration that Office 365 provides.
Migrating from AppRiver to Office 365 can help businesses improve productivity, streamline communication, and provide more comprehensive tools for a modern workforce.
