Microsoft Outlook

Pros

Love the UI/UX. Works well in both web & mobile.

Cons

Once we send an email, if we want to recall, it takes hard to find.

Pros

Ease of use, compatibility with other Microsoft products, lots of fearursz, meeting scheduling, and use within Power Automate.

Cons

I like using the software and don't have many complaints. Occasionally it will lock up, but a restart and it works well again.

Pros

What I like the most about Microsoft Outlook is that it seamlessly integrates with Microsoft 365, the calendar and scheduling features are great, and the search functionality is also great.

Cons

The new version of Microsoft Outlook is missing lots of features. The old version of Microsoft Outlook is pretty much useless because it is extremely slow to open stuff, and will frequently stop responding, forcing you to upgrade to the new version.

Pros

Microsoft Outlook is by far my favorite email. It's very secure, easy to use, I hardly get junk mail (like I used to with other email platforms), and it customizable!

Cons

I do wish you could more easily share your weekly schedule with colleagues and I wish you could specify what days/hours you're working in the office or working from home so that people know how to reach you. There are some features such as groups that I think are really cool, but a little difficult to figure out and use.

Pros

I like that Microsoft Outlook has everything well organized and I can make a bunch of different folders to keep track of everything.

Cons

The only thing I don't like is when composing a new email, sometimes it does not let me add an attachment until I click off of the email, and it goes to a draft and then I can add an attachment. I send a bunch of emails with attachments so this is mildly annoying.

Pros

I enjoy the flexibility with adding additional inboxes for new employees as needed and the storage capacity available.

Cons

I'm not a fan of the newer mailbox style and I wish there was an easier way to locate older messages.

Pros

Very easy to use. The set up is really simple.

Sometimes reorganizes which email box (focus or other) it delivers to

Pros

Minimizes distractions with strong spam filtering. Offers a comprehensive suite of tools for email management, contacts, calendars, and tasks

Pros

Microsoft Outlook has a strong security system. Easy to use. Can be use as personal email and free. Even in free version, you can you personal Signature and edit text easily.

Cons

To be honest, I'm not seeing any cons with this apps. I've been using this in our production floor since day 1 and no any negative experience had happened.

Pros

I like that through this program I can check my emails in a simple way, and always have notifications of each email that arrives, so I can be updated on my messages without having to constantly check my inbox.

Cons

It has limited storage, so you may find it necessary to delete old messages, it also has advertising that can be annoying when working.

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.

I really don't have any cons, except sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming all it can do.

Pros

Matchable features of it are really good and the calendar integration is fantastic for a professional office in. Having multiple calendars allows you to have personal calendars integrated into company-wide calendars and that is a fantastic feature. Also sorting project related emails into folders is a great organizational tool.

Cons

I dislike how app and the program are being upgraded. Computer malfunctions when you have the app version and the program software version on one PC. Windows is doing a lot of changes that aren't really necessary as they shouldn't fix something that wasn't broken but it seems the the moving into this whole cloud hosted 365 nonsense to get subscription fees.

Also then you look update for the program is messing with how we are saving emails into folder structures.

Also it's super annoying when one employee is on a Mac and certain features are simply messing from outlook on their machine. This shouldn't be. All menus should be the same.

Pros

Cons

Digital signatures need an update to be more current.

Pros

Microsoft Outlook is very capable to handle emails and meetings efficiently

Cons

Not very sophisticated and it gets slower at times

I use Microsoft Outlook everyday for my job. I like that I can set up appointments on the calendar. I can schedule when I need to send out an email. I send mass emails without anyone knowing they are on my list.

Cons

I actually like everything about Microsoft Outlook. I have not had anything negative happen.

Pros

I like the colored flag feature as it helps me keep my projects organized, and of course the ease of emailing and standard ooo work features and signatures are easy and a must for the office.

Cons

I have found the last 3 years or so the calendar function is a bit flaky. I will shutdown my computer and all calendars will be wiped out the next day and I'll have to add them all again and it frequently freezes when opening calendar. Not sure if it is due to Teams link at work or not but they are both Microsoft products so you think it would not do that.

Pros

I have been using Outlook for years and it is what I know very well. Th eolder version is easy to use and the functionality is user-friendly.

Cons

I despise the newest version of Outlook. Nothing is in a place that makes sense for the user. Features are difficult to find and even missing in some places. It is not a product that works well and it seems Microsoft wanted to make it as difficult to use as possible.

Pros

It helps us to prioritize the work, ensure timely response for a better client response.

Cons

The application lags at times then need to refresh it get the fresh emails and got a limited storage capacity of old emails.

Pros

It connects all the productive parts of the daily life of a working person in one life - email, calendar, contacts and tasks and then onto the rest of the Office 365 Apps

Cons

It is very cluttered when on a small Surface Pro screen - you need a big display when all the alerts and insight views are enabled.

Pros

Integration across the Microsoft 365 suite of apps. In particular the advances made between this working in harmony with MS Teams has improved productivity.

Cons

The browser version can sometimes not provide the same notifications as the desktop version. This could be down to user error, but I'd want a more seamless experience between the two without the need to alter any settings. Desktop and mobile app however sync brilliantly.

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 to alert you before they will take place.
You can create PST archives and attach them to your email account.
There are many addons from third party programs that you can integrate with Outlook, this is a really useful feature.
Outlook works well and you will easily find documentation on internet in case of need.
Of course Outlook is not free, but it is worth the price (there are several plans).

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.

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)

Pros

Microsoft Outlook is still the king of email. I love the ease of use, clean layout and deep integration with other Microsoft products as well as third party applications.

Cons

I've always love Outlook. Some of the new features and design changes with the latest release took some getting used to, but after a while it felt natural.

Pros

The interface. Its easy to user, clear and you have all important info at glance. I like the layout and the button styles as well.

Cons

It hangs. Now less than before but in the last years Outlook was having troubles in handling large quantity of data. With the cloud service its much better (no more psts) but now it hangs when facing poor network performances.

Pros

I like most about microsoft outlook is its comprehensive and extensive features like email mgmt, calendar scheduling, contact mgmt, task mgmt, note-taking and seamless integration with other microsoft office applications. Mention to calendar features, I also like its easily schedule meeting, manage appointments and set reminders too. Another one I've to appreciate is that available on various platforms including windows, macOS, iOS and android that make us easy in accessibility and flexibility.

Cons

I dislike its performance issues particularly with large mailboxes or when using certain features like search or calendar synchronization or internet connection is lagged.

Pros

The ability to collaborate effectively with others is beneficial in the workplace environment and for students of all ages.

Cons

The controls are not the most user-friendly. I am now able to quickly navigate Outlook, but only with the help of YouTube tutorials.

Pros

It is so easy to use!! And it is the one app for all the email accounts I access daily

Cons

So far I like everything about Outlook. Like I said, checking my email has been so easily done since I began using outlook

Pros

Microsoft Outlook is easy, quick, and cost effective, and it really helps to manage all of my company's emails.

Cons

Microsoft Outlook has given me no issues.

Pros

I have been using Microsoft Outlook as my primary email, calendar, and contacts program since 2013 and I would rather write letters and mark up my wall calendar than use any other program. The interface is smooth, the functionality is easy to understand, and teaching employees to use the program has always been agreeable. The "Tell me what you want to do" feature is especially handy and I have never had a task it couldn't walk me through. It's Alex and Siri before there was Alexa and Siri.

Cons

The only thing I honestly don't care for is the latest version, I am still using the prior version. The latest rollout's interface is clunky, hopefully something Microsoft will iron out before the version I'm on sunsets.

Pros

Ease of use and ability to share calendars of coworkers for better scheduling of meetings and finding available time for key people

Cons

Sometimes it takes a little time to 'load' so that you can find emails when doing a search, but most always, its due to internet connection issues, or simply time to update software, so keep it updated for best performance.

Pros

Ease of use, alerting system, layout. Outlook is the best mailbox management platform I have come across in my career.

Cons

The search function is the only function requiring attention.

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.
