It helps me quickly flag important emails that come in and schedule meetings > > **Cons**: At first I found it quite difficult to navigate the user interface as it is a little overwhelming at first but I eventually got used to it all > > Overall it has been great. A little hard to use at first but after that first hurdle it’s a great piece of software that helps with my overall efficiency and time in work looking through emails ----- ### "Best for Work Emails" — 4.0/5 > **Ravi** | *1 December 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like Microsoft outlook as my work email , i find it better than gmail for work purpose also with the way Teams has improved in the past , you dont have to rely on external tools for collaboration so microsoft outlook package is great. > > **Cons**: Outlook new version really really bad I dont why they are doing this I am still working on the legacy outlook thats why and dont want to switch to the new outlook ever. Also the outlook app for Mac is not very good and is not friendly as it is on a windows machine. > > Overall it is better than gmail for work, because there can lot of back and fourth in work emails and Gmail is very bad if you're going through a big long thread of email, Gmail will confuse which email came befor which one while in outlook it is very organised where the thread emails shows up in sequence of the time it came in your inbox. ----- ### "An incredible mail and personal information management application" — 5.0/5 > **Bruno** | *23 July 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I had the opportunity to use Microsoft Outlook when I worked as an IT Marketing Intern for Traveledex. I can say that I genuinely liked it for various reasons. Firstly, it has a very advanced email management solution that allows you to sort and categorise your messages according to your Folders, Categories, Flags, Rules, and Filters. Another interesting feature is that it has an integrated calendar where you can plan your meetings, schedule appointments, set reminders for important events, and share your schedule with colleagues to set up meetings. Besides, I discovered that you can easily operate Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneDrive, and Teams with this application. > > **Cons**: However, I understand that this software has some significant disadvantages. Firstly, it can be overwhelming for someone who has never used it because of its complexity and excessive number of features. Secondly, you need to pay for an Office 365 subscription to use it for business purposes. Thirdly, it is a resource-intensive program that requires you to have a powerful PC with sufficient RAM, CPU, and hard drive space. Another downside is that if you have many emails and attachments stored in your Outlook folder, it will work more slowly on your computer, especially if you are using a desktop version of the application. Moreover, it is highly dependent on the stability of your internet connection and has limited offline functionality. Lastly, the setup process can be complicated for some people if they have multiple email accounts or problems with the Exchange server. > > Nevertheless, I can say that my experience with this software was good, and I genuinely liked working with it. I can say that it significantly facilitated our work and allowed us to communicate with other companies seamlessly. I believe that this product has a lot of potential and can be successfully integrated into the work of various organisations. Therefore, I would recommend this software to other companies. ----- ### "Microsoft Outlook Keeps Me Connected" — 5.0/5 > **Jeana** | *3 August 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: My favorite part of Microsoft Outlook is that it interfaces seamlessly with other Microsoft products. > > **Cons**: The thing I like least about Microsoft Outlook is that occasionally it is hard to find old emails with the search feature. ----- ### "New Outlook is terrible" — 2.0/5 > **LINDA** | *5 August 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: I can set up folder in my in box to have things in special places. It has spell check. Mail seems to come in and not get lost in the internet world. > > **Cons**: The new outlook is awful. They took away some of the best features. I can't set up the columns in mail like I used to. I get the 3 columns they choose and that's it. I can't alter the subject line on mail I've received. This is very important because I would add a word or 2 to clarify what it is. The address book is all messed up and I autofill pops up even after I delete email contacts. > > With new outlook, my experience has been so frustrating. Unfortunately, I got a new computer and cannot get classic outlook on there. ----- Page: 1 / 101\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/1010311/microsoft-outlook?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/1010311/microsoft-outlook) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | ja | | ----- ## Structured Data
