    Pros
    Coming from lotus notes I was instantly in love with outlook. I loves its clean and simple interface.
    Overall, we are very happy and fulfilled with the Outlook software as it stands now and expect it to only get better.
    As a software it is very good option. Nice looking UI, user friendly, good email management, directly integrated in Microsoft office.
    Cons
    The worst part I would say however is the app. They developed an app for the apple store and quite honestly it is slow and very difficult to navigate around compared to the desktop version.
    Crash , no easy access from my phone , new emails update rate , older emails storage , retriving the older emails or lost emails is a big deal.
    The interface has too much going on. There are a lot of useless features that i needed to turn off.

    Microsoft Outlook - Father of E-mail management

    Reviewed a year ago

    Outlook has helped us in our business management, the design of the app is great and also customization options in the e-mail are really helpful.

    Pros

    The best software and also the easiest to track your e-mails. Can work as a client and on the web too. Also there are tons of extensions you can integrate your outlook with to make it much more helpful.

    Cons

    The set-up from another e-mail client can be a little difficult but the result once you move to outlook is great,

    Microsoft Outlook is probably the best email client, it is easy and productive

    Reviewed 2 years ago

    Microsoft Outlook is for me the best email client as it is very easy to find old emails, it has many filters and ways to organize all your emails and tasks and it has the calendar integrated. It is very easy to use and you can customize many features in the options section.

    Pros

    I did not realize how good Outlook was until I change to Gmail for professional purpose. Microsoft outlook shows a clean screen, it is easy to use, very intuitive and you can find almost everything you need very easily with its filter options. It has also many options to customize your experience.

    Cons

    People on my surrounding is very familiar with Gmail and having outlook means having another app just for email checking, but in a professional way, it's the best. Maybe the Gmail is more beautiful and they have more colours, but for professional use I think it's the best

    Necessary business tool

    Reviewed 19 days ago

    Would be lost without it. The time that I save only having to look in one place for all of my emails is life changing.

    Pros

    All email types can be integrated into one place saving time by not checking many different platforms. Organization within Outlook is helpful. Quick print feature is genius.

    Cons

    Struggle searching for past emails sometimes. Not sure if the criteria is only searched in certain areas but it is frustrating when you cannot find what you know is out there. Also, rules that have been created sometimes "break".

    There are better email managers

    Reviewed 18 days ago
    Pros

    It's free to use and Microsoft is dedicating a lot of resources to offer a better experience with Outlook (improving design and usability), but it's still far from competitors such as Gmail.

    Cons

    Outlook could improve loading times and integrations with many e-commerces and webs, so we can login using our Microsoft account as we do with Gmail.

    The perfect email software for you.

    Reviewed 4 months ago

    Outlook is the ideal software for the email service of your company. It offers several advanced features to manage your company's emails effectively.

    Pros

    What I like about Outlook is that it offers all the email features that allow users to easily manage their emails. It also provides an integrated calendar for organizing meetings and appointments.

    Cons

    I have been using Outlook email for over 2 years in my company, and I haven't found any negative points. Outlook truly offers a high-quality email service.
