I work for a 15k+ organization, and we stopped our migration to Exchange, in part because of the costs to migrate, but also because we found out we could save money moving to Domino 8.5. Our application developers are excited about Domino as a development platform again, and that alone will prove to be a huge ROI.
We didn't stop the move to Exchange
It was an expensived transtion for us. About 8 times as expensive with all the things that needed to be replaced. Exchange is a less capable platform in terms of overall capabilities. With Outlook, you loose all of the other integrated Notes capabilities and have rebuild/replace them with other products. It is not just about email. The email and calendaring is OK for the avarage users. The addressing/contacts/GAB is much less robust than Notes. I see less use of calendaring due to lack of features. Yes, we read the instructions. The most vocal Notes critics are now the most vocal Outlook critics. Overall comment across the company is "why did we do it?" It was not "thank you we needed that." One last comment about this whole numbers "but everybody is doing it" focus. That is something I hear from my teenagers. Save your money...
