    Posted 2022-11-17

    Pros: It integrates seamlessly with other Microsoft products, has computer, mobile, and web versions that all work well, and is a great option for work email. I have especially been a fan of the Zoom integration! It's easy to use and does everything I need to (and then some) for my job.

    "Excellent inbox that will help you avoid fraudulent emails."

    Posted 2022-09-21

    Pros: Microsoft Outlook is a pretty good service but it also has various flaws, the way in which this platform is capable of receiving emails is quite good, the main feature that I like about this platform is that it has a very comfortable interface, In addition, this fully modifiable interface, you can insert any type of theme that helps you improve the appearance to your liking, you can customize the general design of the inbox without any problem. Another thing that I like about this platform is that it has security for all types of phishing emails. In this way I can protect myself from any type of fraudulent email that wants to steal my data. When entering a fraudulent email, this platform He sends a notice in which he specifies that this email is fraudulent, so his way of dictating fraudulent emails is impressive. Another thing that I like is the fluidity with which the inbox works in general, I can write all kinds of emails in a matter of seconds, I will collect files without the platform being slow at any time, it is impressive.

    Cons: One of the main problems that we face while using this platform is regarding the application for mobile devices. I have installed the application for mobile devices and my devices with the iOS operating system, and I have noticed that when linking several inboxes, the notification and background update system does not work correctly, I have noticed that I have received several emails in my personal inbox and in my business inbox, and I have noticed that the application never sends me any type of notice, for these emails to be reflected correctly, I must update the application manually, so it is absolutely necessary that A better background update system is implemented. Also, I also didn't like the fact that to link an IMAP inbox, it is a complex process, you have to fill many boxes which can be a bit annoying for some users.

    Overall: Microsoft Outlook has behaved excellently throughout my company, more than 400 employees in our company are using this platform to link their personal mail or their work mail, the platform in general behaves correctly, offering fluidity and freedom When it comes to customizing the general interface of the inbox, you can apply the design or theme that you want and that suits your tastes, the creation of emails and sending is quite fast, therefore, the general functions of this platform did not present any type of problem. The experience I had with this platform was quite good, it provided excellent sending and receiving of each of the emails in its version for computers, however, as I mentioned previously, it is really necessary to improve the application for mobile devices, since It has problems when it comes to Refreshing the inbox in the background and when it comes to sending notifications of received emails, however, those negative things do not change my opinion about this platform, I still consider it to be a platform that is worth a lot pity, which provides you with a totally secure inbox to avoid fraudulent emails, I recommend it without a doubt for any company.

    "Customizable, but clunky"

    Posted 2021-08-17

    Pros: There is a lot available to customize on Outlook and it works well with other Microsoft products (Word, etc).

    Cons: The way the system is designed to function felt really clunky and impeded my inbox productivity.

    Overall: After working with Outlook for 5 years, I switched to GMail for work email and the change was instantaneous. While Outlook can be customized, default views easily lead to email overwhelm and dropped balls. I would not use it as an email solution if I had another choice.
