Lookeen Reviews & Product Details

Lookeen Desktop Search Finds Everything Your time is too valuable to waste on inefficient and ineffective search – use Lookeen to improve your productivity with its lightning fast file and email search. The Lookeen toolbar integrates itself smoothly into the Windows system tray and into Outlook. A professional solution for Outlook users with a high volume of email, or any business person with gigabytes of data to work with. If it's there, Lookeen will find it. "It" can be anything from a file or email, to a contact, task, attachment, or appointment. "There" can be in any Outlook PST/OST file and any account type — from Exchange to POP or IMAP — or any local, network or virtual drive. It solves the problem of search in VDI environments and on standard desktops. In an enterprise environment Lookeen can search external indices of shared archives and servers, while following Active Directory rights and group policies so that your data remains secure.

"Saves tons of time searching for files / emails"

4/5

What do you like best about Lookeen?

It combines outlook and file indexing. Simple interface which works great. And what I really like is that if you have found what you are looking for, just clicking on it and the file or email will be openend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lookeen?

Initially it takes days to index your files (if you have quite a few) Searching is superfast though Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A search software with high potential"

4/5

What do you like best about Lookeen?

Lookeen can search emails and documents. I am using it to index and search email in a Microsoft Exchange environment. Once you get your index, search is quite fast (but not real time as you type the query) and accurate. Searches can be ran using any of the many different fields (i.e. subject, sender, addressee, folder, date, etc etc) allowing to find relatively easily the requested content. The search results can be read directly in ther eading pane, which can be also organised in different views. From the reading pane it's possible to execute commands, such as move, copy, delete, etc. The items can be obviously opened just clicking on them.

The license cost is affordable, considering the characterstics of the software, Installation is easy and does not require any particualr skill.

The customer service is fast and in my experience was effective in solving my technical questions/issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lookeen?

Lookeen is certainly a very good search software and there is not so much to dislike. As a fact, I tried many search applications and eventually I settled on Lookeen.

However there are few things that can be improved. The most important in my opinion is the indexing, which is painfully slow. I am working with some 50 Gb of mailbox and to complete the first index takes more than 4 days (I am working with a laptop powered by an intel i5 with a high speed internet connection to access the MS Exchange in the cloud). Other softwares in the same conditions were much faster (less than 2 days). Once the index has been created, then the daily changes are dealt with quite fast and transparently for the user. However, if you move/rename an entire folder in the mailbox expect a couple of days of re-indexing, which is quite annoying.

Other minor things which an be improved are the search speed and the possibility to use boolean expressions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lookeen solving and how is that benefiting you?

A search prgram is funamental to retrieve quickly critical information and Lookeen makes this task easy and effective. As an engineer working on several very large projects receiving and sending soemtimes hundred emails every day, I rely on the search program to make sense of all this huge quantty of data.

"File discovery made easy"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Lookeen?

After the initial indexing, Lookeen finds files and emails very quickly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lookeen?

Lookeen does not index cloud files - files on demand.

I understand that this feature is under development and will be available in the future.

This is a much needed feature as all our business is on Sharepoint/Onedrive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Using Lookeen (and before that Lookout) for 20 years."

5/5

What do you like best about Lookeen?

Looks for emails everywhere, and finds them quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lookeen?

I believe in 2024 they will be addressing two issues which are critical to my continued use:

1). searching files in the cloud (e.g. OneDrive)

2). integration with the "new " outlook which will be mandatory in late 2024 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
