Scheduling meetings and finding free times with coworkers is easy and saves loads of time. Search works well, I can find old emails fast even when I only remember bits of text. Integration with Teams and OneDrive makes joining meetings and sharing files simple. Rules and filters help keep my inbox from getting out of control, I use them every day. Desktop client is powerful and the web version is good enough when I’m on another machine. > > **Cons**: Older outlook had more things we coud do then newer version so sometims I still switch between both versions The app can be slow to start on older laptops and sometimes uses a lot of memory. UI feels cluttered, too many buttons and menus, new users at work get lost easily. Mobile app misses some desktop features and the layout can be confusing at times. Spam filter sometimes moves legit mail to junk so I have to check it often. Add‑ins can break after updates and troubleshooting usually needs IT help. Some advanced settings are hidden and takes time to find when you need to change them. > > I use Outlook every day at work and it’s central to how I get things done — email, calendar and meetings all tied together. It saves time scheduling and keeps my day organised, rules and folders do most of the heavy lifting. There are annoyances like slow startup, confusing menus and occasional mobile sync hiccups. When it works it really speeds up collaboration, especially with Teams links and OneDrive attachments. Support can be slow for tricky issues but usually company IT or online guides fix it. Overall it’s dependable and feature rich, just a bit heavy and sometimes fiddly ----- ### "Makes inter-organizational comms easy" — 4.0/5 > **Lauren** | *13 January 2026* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Outlook makes it easy for me to communicate with my coworkers and integrates well with other Microsoft products. I love the scheduling feature and using contact groups to reach more people at once. > > **Cons**: The search feature is not always accurate. I have to try multiple keywords before the message I am looking for is found. ----- ### "Great Email Platform For Businesses" — 5.0/5 > **Anonymous User** | *26 May 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that Outlook combines email, calendar, and contacts into one platform. The integration with other Microsoft tools like Microsoft Teams, Microsoft OneDrive, Microsoft Sales, and Microsoft Office makes it very efficient for day-to-day business communication and productivity. > > **Cons**: I recently switched to the new version of Outlook, but I still prefer the classic version of Outlook. I was not able to set up my company email signature without switching to the classic version of Outlook because I wasn't able to figure it out on the new Outlook. > > Outlook is highly reliable tool for productivity and communication internally and externally. I also really appreciate the Copilot integration to summarize emails, documents, or translate emails if it's in a different language. ----- ### "A good tool that could become great if only..." — 3.0/5 > **Mouloukou** | *1 September 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Outlook is a choice, for managing emails and calendars. It reliably delivers notifications and updates. Once you've got everything set up it runs smoothly. One of the advantages is how well it integrates with Microsoft tools making it a convenient option if you're already invested in the Office suite. > > **Cons**: The interface hasn't really kept pace with Google Workspace. It looks a bit old fashioned by comparison. When it comes to integrating with tools results are inconsistent. Trying to use it with Teams, for instance can be clumsy and frustrating at times. Overall the experience just isn't as seamless and user friendly, as what you'd find with Google. > > I've relied on Outlook as my go, to email and calendar tool, for years using it weekly. Generally it gets the job done. I frequently find myself thinking it could use a refresh. Something a bit modern and lightweight would be a nice change. ----- ### "Best Combo Email\&Calendar" — 4.0/5 > **Anna** | *14 April 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Microsoft Outlook is the best combo for managing emails and calendars in the same tool. It’s simple and has all the features that make me love Gmail. > > **Cons**: Microsoft Outlook shows ads all the time in the free version. Once, I tried forwarding to another inbox and I noticed they didn’t ask for enough information, so security is not the best. ----- Page: 1 / 100\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/91380/microsoft-outlook?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/91380/microsoft-outlook) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
