I use the Calendar for all my scheduling, the Tasks for my projects. The key is its versatility. For example the Notes is incredible to do almost anything and store information categorized almost limitless from structured to random. > > **Cons**: The only one in my line of work would be just the design of the user interface. It is looking somewhat clumsy but that is of course only aesthetics... > > I have used EPIM from version 5. By my experience it has been reliable, more and more when developed to version 12 and forward. I originally switched from Microsoft Outlook to EPIM and I have not regretted it. EPIM is and stays my main tool for time management and information organizing. ----- ### "Good but Still Needs Constant Attention" — 3.0/5 > **Paul** | *June 14, 2024* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: All the calendar management that it provides and promises is exactly when I need to manage my workflow > > **Cons**: There are still a few design issues that are counterintuitive... And some failsafe calendar management protections that are missing... And periodic syncing catastrophes > > Well after all these years I'm still using it because it's the answer to most of my problems... But I never feel like I can fully rely on it... There's always surprises that catch me off guard and cost me business ----- ### "Great PIM You gotta try this\!" — 4.0/5 > **David** | *April 30, 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Calendar and Goal management through tasks and tracking so I don't forget the little things > > **Cons**: Had some trouble setting up sync originally. Most issues I've had were resolved with updates. But these weren't available when I set it up at first.. > > Really a great experience. Even back years ago when I started using it ----- ### "Search for PIM" — 5.0/5 > **MEERAN** | *July 16, 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Essential PIM Pro 12.x is a powerful personal information manager (PIM) that caters to users who value efficiency and organization. It seamlessly integrates calendar, contacts, tasks, notes, and emails, streamlining your workflow and promoting productivity. Essential PIM Pro 12.x also shines with its offline functionality and cross-device syncing capabilities, ensuring you stay on top of your commitments even without an internet connection. > > **Cons**: Occasional error message and the nagging notifications when you you are offline > > Best all-round PIM. AI integration and support for markdown would be nice to have. ----- ### "A must for tracking and maintaining emails." — 5.0/5 > **Unmesh** | *August 2, 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is very easy to use without any hassles of integrating with our Gmail or email. Very fast and user friendly. > > **Cons**: Updates every time make me wonder if I should download or wait for the next. > > I was using Goldmine with my Gmail and it had SQL at the back end and every time I had a problem I had to take favour for re-integrating the same. I am not a IT person so it is very difficult to learn back end DB and be worried if windows crashes. Essential PIM has made my life easy with emails ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/203260/essentialpim?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/203260/essentialpim) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
