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.

Pros

I have great experience with that solution, I recommended to use this solution it's totally secure and free of cost.
Excellent overall, keeps me organized, and the ability to make folders for emails is great for organizing business records.
The ease of switching between screens and the auto save feature is a life saver. Gmail's ease of use is wonderful for all.

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.

Cons

There is also no customer support for Gmail so if you have an error or problem you are on your own which can be frustrating at times.
Can easily be hacked if your phone or laptop is lost. Hard to recover if forgot password.
I dislike the way it filters emails into spam sometimes. I have to monitor spam every so often to make sure I didn't miss any important emails.

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

Reviewed a year 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

Works wonders with Google Suite. Can potentially work better with MS Suite.

Reviewed 4 years ago
Pros

1) Easily integrate with other G Suite apps such as Drive, Sheets, Docs. 2) Easily integrated with MS Outlook Desktop Client through G Suite Sync for Microsoft Outlook.

Cons

1) Filters for forwarding don't support more than 1 email address at a time, so you have to create a new filter just to forward to another email ID. 2) HTML rendering is completely different from MS Outlook. This often wreaks havoc in formatting for HTML text emails. Makes a neatly composed email look like trash. Further, any content from an MS Application pasted into Gmail, leads to a formatting catastrophe. 3) Very plain user interface. 4) Important, official emails often get miscategorized as Updates or Promotions and may get skipped if the recipient isn't vigilant enough!

Gmail

A must have, but Outlook is better

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

Gmail is free and is the must-have for your personal email.

Cons

Gmail has all the features you need, but having a Microsoft outlook account is better for a working environment.

Gmail

Reliable, easy to use email client.

Reviewed a year ago

Great value product and user friendly. Reliable and keeps coming out with good, new features.

Pros

Easy to get setup and syncs with most all other apps. I like how user friendly it is in the web browser as well as in other email programs.

Cons

I wish that it worked better with Microsoft products. Most of the clients I work with use Microsoft and there are some syncing errors between Gmail and Outlook.

Gmail

Only email provider you'll ever need

Reviewed 2 years ago

I love the application. Never really have had much of any problems with it.

Pros

Compatible with all email service providers like Microsoft Outlook, Yahoo!, etc. Well put together menus and easy to use.

Cons

Goes kind of overboard with notifications. The mobile app doesn't allow you to delete mass amounts of emails at a time.

Gmail

Lots of Integration

Reviewed a year ago

Since I am so used to using another email program, Gmail is difficult for me to navigate. I'm sure it does so much more than I know how to do, but I will get better because Gmail is necessary for me to have due to integrating with so many other tools that my regular email doesn't integrate with.

Pros

Google Email integrates with many of the other programs that I use in my work.

Cons

I'll be honest. I'm more of an Outlook, Microsoft person but when it comes to integration, Google is a must.
