Office365 API only works for Office365, while EWS works for any Exchange server from Exchange2007 up (including Office365). Other than that:

  • EWS is SOAP, Office365 API REST
  • EWS has a very nice/easy to use managed wrapper for .NET/Java
  • EWS has way more features - similar to using an Exchange client for Office365 compared to the webinterface. Things like Tasks are not in the Office365 API afaik.
