Microsoft Outlook Reviews

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

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

Email features and scheduling features are straight forward and reliable. Having a program that combines email capabilities with scheduling capabilities is fantastic.

The depth of submenus you have to navigate to change what I would consider to be simple options. There's so many features that it's easy to get lost in the details.

I have been using Microsoft Outlook for many years to manage my various email addresses. I am a Microsoft customer with the complete Office 365 package. Microsoft Outlook has several advantages and some drawbacks. Among the advantages, I definitely appreciate the ability to easily share the calendar with other collaborators and colleagues who work in different companies than mine. This is crucial for the work I do, and it can be effectively managed through Microsoft Outlook. I greatly appreciate the calendar function and the ability to install extensions like Grammarly or Quillbot for the English language. I also make frequent use of rules to organize folders.

One of the limitations of Outlook is its heaviness and lack of fluidity. I often encounter synchronization issues, and drafts of emails with attachments are automatically created even though I have simply created and sent them immediately. This is a problem that I have noticed other people experiencing years ago as well. Nevertheless, overall, I continue to use Outlook because it is convenient to manage multiple email addresses from a single mail client.

Inbox management , Email filtering, Critical notifications, Calender and the sunc between teams and ms office

Nothing that i didnt like about it, because outlook is doing a great job in making it worth to pay.

I like the user friendly environment, dark mode, assistance with e-mail addresses, automatic sorting of emails, notification of calendar events, automatic and stable synchronisation with other calendars.

In my opinion, this product is perfect and I have not found any issue during five years of use. I would welcome a possible improvement, the possibility of displaying email titles in different colors by type.

ability to compile really good and professional emails, fast and responsive and low tasking on the cpu considering the capability.

the micro lags that take place when searching old emails, plus proper email tracking and internal bulk sending.

Best in business. Easy to setup and use. Very fast and user full for corporate & office user.

Data usage is high as email are downloaded locally & storage size is needed.

I like that I can have multiple accounts in one space

Its not always so user friendly and I often have issuew with emails

the clean interface and since it was a paid version there were no ads either!

sometimes I don't like using things made by Microsoft...

it has good features that make the experience better

it's not the easiest one to use and it's not as practical as others

- Easy to manage important emails, have the application for the complete device eco-system Phone, Dekstop, IPAD, etc. - Easy to search emails by content and title - Makes meetings and tasks easy to manage, the daily morning, we get emails for reminding of emails related to tasks, and the meeting and links automatically get marked on the calendar

- The automated marking on the calendar sometimes becomes annoying when the meetings are unwanted - Faced the downtime twice.

For email management, Outlook remains the best tool. It easy to order the emails in subfolders, to create archiving rules, to create auto-reply rules and to manage rendezvous using the calendar (however mainly on Windows). I also greatly appreciate the direct relation with OneNote and Microsoft ToDo.

As a graphic designer and a business analyst, I often have to work on both Windows, Mac, Android and iOS. Outlook on Windows is perfect and works great, but the Mac version is limited and buggy. On the Android and iOS version, Outlook takes up so much resources that in the end I often use the default mail apps of the platform instead of the Outlook apps. The calendar of Outlook works great on Windows and Mac, but it's a pain to use in iOS and Android.

What I love about the software is the ability to add different email addresses. This saves my computer a ton of ram because I don't need to have those email opened on my browser. I also love the ability how SharePoint and outlook are all connected, thus allowing me to use Power Query on a spreadsheet to view certain data I want to see or evaluate.

I don't like how the app still includes certain features on the web version that it isn't available on the app itself. Web Outlook allows you to create a "Microsoft To Do Task" by just highlighting any text inside the body of your mail, meanwhile outlook as an app is unable to do so. Also, I don't like that Outlook takes Storage away from my computer per every email I setup, so for those who´s got a laptop of 128GB or less. I don't personally recommend having too many accounts. I manage 4 email and I had to keep one away because that mail was eating too much GB from my computer storage.

Very user friendly. Able to setup signatures, auto-replies and alerts easily. Integrates well with other programs like Zoom for meetings, JIRA for tickets, and several other options. Offers both a client version and a web version.

The client can be a little slow if the mailbox is very large. We have found it runs much faster on through webmail.

I love that it keeps all my emails well organized. I also love that I do not have to worry about spams as it automatically filters them out. Microsoft Outlook offers a wide range of features compared to other products, which makes it more interesting and fun to use.

I do not have any cons as it is very simple and easy to use.

As a student, I have found Microsoft Outlook to be an indispensable tool for managing my email, calendar, and tasks. One of the things I appreciate most about the platform is its user-friendly interface. The layout is intuitive and easy to navigate, which has made it easy for me to quickly learn and use the various features.I also appreciate the platform's robust set of tools for managing email, such as its ability to filter messages, organize my inbox, and use rules to automate certain tasks. The platform's integration with other Microsoft products, such as OneNote and Teams, has also been a big plus for me, allowing me to manage all my tasks in one place.

One of the potential drawbacks of Microsoft Outlook is that it can be somewhat overwhelming for new users. While the interface is generally user-friendly, there are a lot of features to learn, and it can take some time to become proficient in using the platform to its full potential.Another potential drawback is that the platform can be somewhat slow at times, especially when dealing with large amounts of email or when using certain features such as search.

One of the best things about Microsoft Outlook is the fact that it is available in all platforms: MacOS, windows, Android etc. The most powerful thing about Microsoft Outlook is the fact that is able to consolidate different emails from different providers, giving you one interface to manage multiple emails. This is a very good feature as far as efficiency and organization is concerned.Microsoft outlook...

It might need some bit of time to be comfortable with Microsoft Outlook. Some of its features might be intimidating for new users.

I have been using Outlook over 1 year or more now. I love the way teams can collaborate over Active Directory. Microsoft provides ease of use applications with their AD, outlook and teams are one of such. The way we can use the keyboard shortcuts in desktop app, feels like using native windows. I love their outbox thread, suppose the email is delayed for some reason, it will be there in outbox before reflecting it in sent items, this removes any discrepancy that could take place. But I love the encrypted emails feature, which I have never noticed in rivals yet.

Well apart from just good talk, I have few things to highlight too. OOF message (Automatic replies) are to be set manually each day, why cannot we automate it for each day in upcoming week? Also, there should be a feature of email templates, which I did not find. When we have multiple email formats we have to store it in notepad and later copy paste, this things are something which needs to be considered while purchasing this product.

Outlook is excellent for e-mail management. For me, who receives a lot of e-mail, it makes sorting and tidying easier. Sorting by color, sorting by folder according to contacts or certain criteria, sorting by contact group, chat conversation to follow up on the conversation according to the contact, and so on. It's packed with options and functionality. I like its calendar, which allows me to have an agenda directly in my mailbox. I also like the fact that I can schedule meetings directly from there, and send reminders directly to my contacts. Outlook is really great

PC software is difficult to configure. You need a professional to do it

Outlook is am amazing email management tool. I have started using during my years in the university as it was using microsoft ecosystem. At first it felt unfriendly after gmail, but after little time I noticed an amazing UI/UX, I played around to discover the possibilities, extentions and functionality and it is awesome! All you have about gmail is simply gone here. Of course, it has some flaws, but in general, it give you everything in terms of email management (personal or business)

Microsoft ecosystem in general is a drawback here. If you are a poweruser like myself, you are probably familiar, how hard it is to switch from one ecosystem to another. Yes, outlook is great, but is onedrive better then google drive? - hard to say. Many people like google drive. And now we have google photos as well, and google calendar. All work perfectly together and if you switch to outlook, something might be lost. This is the biggest drawback. Overal, outlook is very nice product and I am happy to see its evolution into something better each year!

It's pretty easy to use and, as you'd expect, integrates incredibly well into the Microsoft eco system. For example; I can flag an email in outlook and it shows up on my ToDo list app with all the info pre-filled.It has an extensive feature set and is a lot less clunky than it used to be, especially on mac/iOS where it's improved massively lately. You can create meetings in the calendar and have it automatically create and send Teams invites for those meetings if they're virtual without leaving outlook.

It can at times suffer from the usual Microsoft issue of toggles galore. Everything has a setting, which can be good, but also is sometimes just too much choice for the sake of it!

Office 365 works well, is reasonably easy to implement, and does what need it to do

Microsoft pushes all their new stuff on you. They don't advise you that there are certain features, improvements, etc. -- they install it without advising you. Example --Focused email. Woke up one day to find my email a mess. Had to figure out what the heck some MS idiot did to my system and change it back to how I wanted it. So I figured it out and fixed it. Then bought a new phone, installed...

It's easy to use and setup. You can register your microsoft account, school email account, office account or any 3rd party account. When sending email with picture attachments, you can copy them into the text area and these can be directly viewed in the email body without having to download them to my machine. Also archiving is super easy with multiple options of applying rules as to which emails need to be archived. I used it when I was in school and now I am using it professionally, and I am happy with it.

I am not sure if this can be done but I would like to see email recall option if the reciever has not opened the email yet. This saves space on the cloud if I have sent a wrong email and need to correct and resend. Also, it would help in avoiding miscommunication since the old and erroneous email would be deleted from the inbox.

my whole career (20 years) I worked in large companies - so choice between email is pretty much between Outlook and Lotus Notes, and Outlook is light years easier to use than Notes. On a plus side - *It remembers your contacts, and names auto populate next time to start entering them. *It integrates well with your company messaging tool (so show what contacts are online) *Out of Office is easy to use

*Search functionality can be greatly improved. As unbelievable as it sounds Gmail has a much better Search engine, and I would gladly exchange it for all fancy but not as useful add-ins outlook has. *Hard to sort emails. If I am looking for email from Jack Zinger, and I am sorting alphabetically - I need to go through all email from all other persons named Jack first, unless I find Zinger's email, and sort there. *Meetings are not complicated to set up, but you need to go back and forth until option to invite attendees appears. I don;'t understands why its not offered immediately.

The Outlook features and its user interface is just awesome, I like the new stacking option in the interface for important or emails with different categories. Easy to access the mail service and friendly support for customized subscriptions of the application. The scheduling option is quite good and mobile access of the mails is very useful at the times.

The looks and feel of outlook is very likeable but only thing i feel is for mobile application this could be improved and some more text formatting options could be included to ease the work even more.
