What do you like best about Ideagen Mail Manager?

Search features have made finding emails far easier than Outlook's built-in features. I have also enjoyed the automated email filing for older emails to clean up my inbox a bit more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ideagen Mail Manager?

This is not a fault of Ideagen, but getting buy-in at higher levels of our organization has been challenging for such a tool despite mid-level management enjoying the features of the product. Providing some added support in this regard could be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ideagen Mail Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to find old emails more easily has saved me many hours. Our industry frequently requires in-writing notice of certain work tasks, so being able to quickly find those notices has been a great benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mail Manager on new Outlook is terrible it simply does not work.

Not compatible with Mac users

auto-deallocation function is only there for show but it will be really useful to have this feature and remove any inactive users immediately

technical support is complicated and one ticket goes through multiple people. information on the issue always seems to be missed and needs to be re-explained. It was a long process to resolve.

Hi Tiffany,

Thank you for sharing your detailed review. It’s great to see you find the search function intuitive and efficient, and we’re glad the features make locating and filing emails straightforward. Hearing that our customer support has been helpful and responsive is also encouraging.

We realised once people had lewft the company we did not have a trail of anything they were working on or a good place to store everything. This has helped this issue and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ideagen Mail Manager?

The way Mail Manager forces the user to make a decision about filing the email makes team compliance a breeze. I deployed MM with my company after having used it at a previous organisation to get rapid wins with organisation and accessiblity for my team during a period of change. The learning curve is minimal and it's been a Godsend on multiple occassions during staff disruptions in particular. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ideagen Mail Manager?

More time prior to implementation considering the best set up for the unique business application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ideagen Mail Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

Search functionality. Reduction in the need to CC when working across projects. But most importantly access to emails during staff absences or changes, coupled with the search functionality makes things a lot easier to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ideagen Mail Manager?

The best aspect of Mail Manager is the ease of access for historic emails that Mail Manager has saved, meaning I can easily and quickly access conversations and project information that I wasn't part of to help bring me up to speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ideagen Mail Manager?

I find the Keyword search can be a bit clunky with which emails it brings up when searching for multiple words/phrases as it seems to prioritise one word over the other Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ideagen Mail Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ideagen Has helped us in the past with setting up new mail manger folders/connections for when we have set up new servers and or offices Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ideagen Mail Manager?

Helpful with compliance at a state government level to ensure we are properly archiving things that might be FOIA requested in the future. Helps automate things that might get missed by users by themselves. Easy to use once you get it integrated, which can be difficult depending on what system you use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ideagen Mail Manager?

The customer support is not the greatest, and if the employee is not properly educated on the system, or doesn't use it with regularity, things can get lost or filed in a way that is not helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ideagen Mail Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

Working in a government agency is full of red tape and obstacles. Oftentimes, an employee is in charge of incoming FOIA requests, as well as their own typical job duties. This means that anything that can be automated, or streamlined can save hours of extra work. Having an effective mail manager to help keep all emails that might be needed properly organized and archived can also prevent potential lawsuits from FOIA requesters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Maria Aksiantsiuk of Ideagen Mail Manager
