Price is one factor. 8.x has been reliable for years, though some minor annoyances were introduced in 8.22 that require service restarts with some simple changes.
Also, I find logging for IMail to be much better than Exchange. Any company providing mail services must have good logging. Then there's the issue of spam filtering. When we started filtering back around 2001, plugins were a common method of providing filtering. Imail had much better plugins. While a gateway is the better route for reliability reasons, we still use plugins for additional filtering.

Our production servers are all exchange boxes. Please don't be offended when I ask/say this ((I don't mean anything bad by this) it seems that there are a lot of issues with imail each time a new patch, version or upgrade comes out. What benefits do you be from imail vs exchange? Besides the cost issue what is imail doing better than exchange?
