Reviews of Microsoft Outlook
Simplify Your Schedule
Pros:
Microsoft simplifies the process of planning and organizing with its intuitive calendar and scheduling features. It’s an exceptional tool that promotes effective time management and organization.
Cons:
There can be slight performance issues on the platform. More customization could definitely help users enjoy their user experience more.
Alternatives Considered:
My Outlook on Outlook (MS)
Pros:
I like the fact that it is user friendly with simple help solutions
Cons:
The online application is not my thing. Idk why, but the actual app just works better for me.
New Outlook is a step backward.
Pros:
It's still a functional tool, in which I live by the minute through the workday.
Cons:
The New release is a step backward, as it is clunky and has lost some of it's previous functionality. Microsoft is forcing me to re-learn how to use their product for my own workflow and it appears they changed it just for the sake of changing it.
Alternatives Considered:
General Email Mailbox Provided
Comments: We used mailtastic and several other signature tools in pair with it. Syncing between Outlook and other environments was not the best.
Pros:
Everyone knows how to use it and how it works. Basic interface is easy to understand. A lot of existing solutions and unique features. Native sync and connections to Microsoft tools.
Cons:
Using it on other platforms than PC is challenging depending on business needs and other software used. Some features, addons, toolkits are not available on Mac OS.
Great for office communication
Comments: It's perfect for my office communication. It's quick easy to send memos to all my team members. It by far better than other software we have tried
Pros:
It puts everything in one place. My email, calendar and my contacts. I can read and respond to my email off line as well.
Cons:
It don't support RSS feeds. You can only save attachments to ti local file or Ondrive. So you can direct share
