    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.

    Email in professional way

    Reviewed 2 years ago

    As an overall if you want a software for the personal purpose then it's up to you to choose between it or Gmail , but if you want it for the professional use , there's no any software better than Outlook

    Pros

    On a professional level, there is nothing better to communicate, I have worked with more than one company and did not see one of them using another tool to send emails. The ability to sync to all devices is incredible , it also help you to manage important emails

    Cons

    Personally, I haven't had any problems with Outlook, it's really makes my life easily

    Critical software for daily work, opportunities for improvement or implementing work arounds

    Reviewed a year ago
    Pros

    The features that are most important and impactful for daily work include email management and communication. At its core, Outlook is able to achieve this and is considered a critical software for my role and our organization. I am able to send, reply, forward, and overall communication via email. I am also able to manage my inbox and subfolders.Outlook is relatively easy to use but there are some nuances that a new beginner would not be familiar with. Additionally, there are newer features that require more learning.Outlook integrates well with existing business processes and systems.

    Cons

    The search functionality could be significantly improved. I've never had good experience when trying to go back and search for a previous email. Typically, the default search shows way too much, including things that aren't relevant. And then when filtering down within the search, it does not show enough to aid in finding what I was looking for.I utilize the delay sending feature and it has been difficult to use. I've experienced some issues previously. It will not release emails related to appointment responses, which results in confusion and additional manual steps.

    The email client

    Reviewed 3 months ago

    I use Outlook for my work email and it allows me to manage my email in an easy and fast way. Outlook runs well and rarely hangs. It has a lot of features (I use a few, the search, the rules, the calendar and just an addon) and if a need support I easily find my answer on internet (of course you can contact Microsoft Support). Indeed one of the best Microsoft Program.

    Pros

    I think Microsoft Outlook is the best email client available, i like the interface and how menu and features are organized. Managing your enails and email accounts is easy, you can add a new account just following the instructions (in the file section or under the windows control panel) and manage you emails folders and e g. set some inbox rules. Also you can add event on your calendar and ask Outlook...

    Cons

    The search bar placed in the top of the the screen and the new visualition, I prefer the old one (but it seems you can change it in some way). Mails are marked as read if you just click once on them by default. I dislike this option.

    MS Outlook, is there even another option?

    Reviewed a month ago

    I've been using it forever, and don't see myself using anything else. Maybe Mozilla Thunderbird if I'm feeling nostalgic

    Pros

    Easy to use, customize. straight forward. widely adopted among other businesses

    Cons

    I am not a fan of the "new outlook" as it function more like the web application, but as a desktop application. Some features are not available on the new one (which I think they're working on adding hopefully)
