At Crunchify we use Google App for Business for our daily communication. Specially I love Gmail and can’t leave without a day. Currently we are using basic version of Google Apps for which we are paying $5/month per user.

I would definitely recommend Google Apps compare to Microsoft Office 365 plan.

Google Apps for Business comes with lots of features and one of them is DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail).
