"Reliable and Easy Email Tool with Great Automation Features"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Outlook?

The best thing about Outlook for me is being able to send automated HTML emails to clients every day, which I find really interesting. I run these automated emails through Power Automate, and they’re delivered accurately to clients at the scheduled time each day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Outlook?

One thing I dislike about Microsoft Outlook is that it’s not as easy to sign up for other tools compared to Gmail, which offers a “Sign in with Google” option on most platforms. Also, Outlook feels more work-focused, whereas I tend to use Gmail more for newsletters and the content I read daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Microsoft Outlook: All-in-One Email, Calendar & Tasks with Seamless Microsoft 365 Integration"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Outlook?

The thing i like most about Microsoft Outlook is the fact that it integrates email, calendar and task management. It is a trustworthy, simple to arrange talks through folders and regulations, and is also smoothly integrated with the rest of the Microsoft 365, which makes everyday communication and scheduling more effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Outlook?

The feature i hate about Microsoft Outlook is that at times the interface appears crowded with numerous panes and features appearing simultaneously. Search is sometimes inconsistent and with large mailboxes, there can be reduced performance. It is strong, however it might require time to adapt it to my workflow.

"Outlook Ecosystem Makes Work Easier Across Desktop and Mobile"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Outlook?

Outlook helps us run the business. It supports communication with clients and stakeholders, and the built-in AI tools, along with a variety of other tools, make day-to-day work easier. The best part is the Outlook ecosystem, which keeps all the required tools available both on the computer and on the phone. MS Teams integration and copilot have been super helpful.

"Simplifies Calendar Sharing and Integrates Smoothly Across Microsoft"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Outlook?

I've been a longtime user of Microsoft Outlook, but I do like the way that it simplifies the way that we can share calendars across an organization. The majority of our workforce is remote and it significantly cuts down on the number of back and forth emails. I also appreciate the way it easily integrates with other Microsoft products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Outlook?

The system keeps trying to push me to the newer version of Outlook, but I don’t find the interface nearly as user-friendly. It doesn’t feel like an improvement over the current version, and I’m concerned about how it may impact my productivity if/when I’m finally forced to switch.

"All-in-One Communication and Scheduling That Keeps Me Organized"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Outlook?

What I like best about Microsoft Outlook is how it keeps communication and scheduling organized in one place. The integration between email, calendar, and task management makes it easy to manage meetings, deadlines, and daily priorities without needing multiple tools. I especially like the calendar features, which allow me to schedule meetings efficiently, set reminders, and coordinate with teams while seeing availability in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Outlook?

One of the things I dislike about Microsoft Outlook is that it can sometimes feel cluttered, especially when managing a high volume of emails, meetings, and notifications at the same time. It can take extra effort to keep inboxes organized, and important messages can occasionally get buried if filters and folders are not carefully maintained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable, Easy-to-Use Email and Calendar Integration with Microsoft Outlook"
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Outlook?

Microsoft Outlook is reliable and easy to use for everyday email communication. I use it regularly to manage emails, schedule meetings, and keep my tasks organized. The calendar integration is very helpful, especially when it comes to meeting reminders and coordinating with my team. It also works smoothly with other Microsoft tools, which helps make my workflow more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Outlook?

The interface can sometimes feel a bit busy, especially when I’m managing a high volume of email. New users may need some time to explore all the features, but once you’re familiar with it, it becomes easy to navigate and efficient for daily use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Emails, Meetings, Panic: The Full Experience"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Outlook?

The biggest upside of Outlook is reliability. It’s been around forever, and it shows. It handles email, calendars, and contacts in one place without much drama. I use it daily, and it does a good job of keeping everything organized, especially when you’re juggling a lot of emails and meetings.

The calendar integration is a huge plus. Scheduling meetings, sending invites, and syncing with Teams feels seamless if you’re already in the Microsoft ecosystem. I also like the rules and folders feature; once you set them up, Outlook quietly does a lot of the cleanup work for you in the background. Search is another underrated win; even when my inbox is overflowing, I can usually find what I need pretty fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Outlook?

Outlook isn’t the lightest tool out there. It can feel a bit heavy, especially if you’re using the desktop app with a large mailbox. I’ve had moments where it lagged or froze right when I was trying to send something important (never a great feeling).

The interface can also feel cluttered at times. There are a lot of features, which are great in theory, but it can be overwhelming if you just want to do something simple quickly. On top of that, notifications can get noisy if you don’t fine-tune them; it’s very easy to end the day with inbox fatigue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Productivity Essential for Office Work"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Outlook?

Rules and automation are a strong point—Outlook’s filtering, folders, and categories make it easier to keep email organized. It’s also deeply integrated with Microsoft 365, Exchange, and corporate IT systems, which is why it’s the standard in many workplaces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Outlook?

There are too many versions—“Classic Outlook,” “New Outlook,” web Outlook, Mac Outlook, and mobile Outlook—and they don’t always behave the same way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Outlook?

Well organized, interface is very advanced yet user friendly. It integrates wonderfully with other software as ClickUp, performance could be better as it sometimes stop working on my macbook air.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Outlook?

I would like it to have a snooze option for when I need to follow up on an email at certain specific time. That'd be great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
